"I don't kill them. That would be pointless. Instead I'm setting about procreating and passing on my moral compass to my children. Gay people will never enjoy that awesome responsibility."
First, passing on your particular "moral compass" is akin to contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Second, knock it off with the inane "awesome responsibility" crap. You act like having unprotected sex is some kind of heroic feat. You shot your load and it splattered an egg at just the right time. Bully for you.
Anything from a cockroach to a serial killer can "procreate." Doesn't make them good parents. Gay people don't have their kids by accident or a sense of misplaced duty ("must spread seed, save human race, what married people do..."), they have them because they really, really want them. Which is what makes THEM good parents.
Now, go crawl back to your cave and impregnate your female again. How else will you prove you're a man??
Everyone's all defensive about insults to overweight women, and about how we as a society supposedly worship the thin while demonizing the heavy.
Yet I've never seen one NON-insulting or even remotely "worshipful" word said about the slim figures of Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Lara Flynn Boyle, Calista Flockhart, models, etc. Nothing but insults hurled at them every time they're mentioned, simply because their physical appearance doesn't please some people. Why is THAT okay? And how is it any different from what you all are complaining about, except that it's in reverse?
Nobody, fat or thin, should be subject to public ridicule based on their appearance.
I love you to death, Curt (between the white lines, anyway). Have done since Philly.
But dude... even I coulda told ya what NOT to throw to Michael Cuddyer!!!
Priceless.
So I'll have exactly *one day* to cancel cable, and get both DSL and satellite installed. Uh-huh. That'll happen. Oh, and it all happens on a weekend, too.
The whole thing is ludicrous from beginning to end. I've paid for MLB Extra Innings for going on 10 years now, and this is the thanks I get.
Once again, the right (correctly) banks on the fact that its lemming-like followers have absolutely no knowledge of history... they just believe--and parrot--what they're told. Even if it means rewriting history.
This one is right up there with "Don't forget, it was the REPUBLICANS who ended slavery!!"
I have nothing remotely coherent to say. I am absolutely crushed.
That's pretty much what I came on here to post. Well said, Nancy.
What a concept!! Too bad they don't do this everywhere (like Shea Stadium, for example).
I am impressed with the way this man does business.
All this fuss over a couple of days in jail. You'd think she'd been sentenced to death, the way she's going on. What makes her think other drunk drivers who are locked up *enjoy* it? You think they don't get sad, lonely, miss their family/friends/dogs etc.? Why is her plight so much more profound than anyone else's? Just do your time, you spoiled, annoying, brainless, racist little twit. Do your time and learn from it so you never do the crime again... that's supposedly the *idea* of being sent to jail.
I don't even know what this stick insect is famous for, besides having sex on camera and spending her father's money on garbage. What a country.
And still I came here to read Heather's take on the finale after seeing a clip of it on the news this morning. She's *that* good.
You guys ought to read up on what happened after the final (puzzling, WTF?!) episode of "The Prisoner." Enraged, confused fans blew up the network's switchboard and hounded Patrick McGoohan at his home to have it explained to them. That was 40 years ago and people are dissecting it to this day.
It's a valid match making point. I'd never survive married to a vegetarian
Interesting. Why not? Are you that intent on forcing your own preferences on your partner, that you couldn't "survive" if he/she didn't eat what you eat?
I'm a vegetarian, and every man I've ever dated (and indeed once married) has been a carnivore. It's quite possible for two people to eat different things and still manage to have a relationship, as long as neither of them demand that the other subjugate themselves. Maybe you should try it!
...who have been fighting tooth and nail to make the US a religious state, albeit governed by the laws of a different religion.
Yet, as usual, they don't see the irony.
