"Females: Equally violent!
>"There is growing evidence that women attack men in relationships almost as often as men attack women. Of course, one major difference is that women tend to do less damage when they attack than men do..."
I'm not a feminist, but this argument is baloney. It is being spun around certain circles for a long time, now. It's crap. How do I know? Just go on mydeathspace.com,and compare how many women are killed by their partners as compared to men killed by their partners.
Don't get me wrong, I think there are ideological entities pushing falsehoods about both rape and domestic violence. The rape and domestic violence industries should be called out on the crap they push through advocacy research. But both common sense and any investigation into violence leads to the conclusion that men are more violent, and more dangerous. Sorry guys, testosterone does that to a person. Although I'll admit that when women do perform violence, it is more devious.
Being a tranny myself (who, BTW, would never be mistaken for a genetic girlie), thinks that my sister tranny should have disclosed. That being said, she did not rape the dude. This is the problem now that we've expanded the definition of rape to the point where you're guilty if you fail to call the next day. The rape industry is reaping what it sows with the arguments being presented here that the murderer was "raped."
I don't like hate crimes either. I think the guy should go to prison for murder. I hope my little tranny sister has her wings up in heavan, and is looking down at us and laughing.
R.I.P. sister
"@ KitchenGirl, who asks
"That there is no such thing as hardwired sexual orientation?"
"...Not for many women, for whom preference is fluid..."
Baloney. Heterosexuality is not fluid. But I believe that you believe its fluid. Though, it is exciting to pontificate the ramifications of such. For instance, if sexual orientation was fluid, then the gross misrepresentations and politicalization of the facts by the rape and domestic violence industries would be a reasonable way to lure more women into lesbians. If sexual orientation fluidty were real, demonizing manhood would actually swell the ranks of lesbians. To some extent, it works, i.e. philosophical lesbians (straight women who hate men and therefore identifiy as gay such as the late Valerie Solanas). If orientation was fluid, I'd expect to see more homosexuality in other species.
I would vote for him. Why not? The people of Massachusetts keep sending back Barney Franks. Franks had engaged a prostitute (male), used his congressional office to fix 33 tickets for the prostitute, while the prostitute turned tricks in Franks' apartment.
Why would Spitzer's situation be any different? The argument of Hypocrit is weak. Law makers, who are also law breakers, are by definition hupocrit's.
We all know the corporate media was complicit in the lead up to the Iraq war. For God sakes, the Washington Post was basically a propoganda piece for the administration. The New York Times as well. Why? Because the neo-conservative agenda of waging war on Israel's behalf resinates with the the corporate media, many of which, like U.S. News and World Reports Mort Zuckerman are not even ashamed to admit to it. Others have admitted to bias toward Israel.
Now we have Jane Harmon, making deals with the agents of foreign governments, to try to quash the AIPAC investigation into espionage? What the hell is going on here?
in the first place. And in the second place, if you want alpha-males in high office, stoping being suprised that they like to fuck.
I don't think you can compare the preppy murder to this guy. This guy is a serial killer, where as the preppy murderer, was a drug using, drunk, who had a complicated involving the victim and his ex-girl friend.
I thought the concensious on the last thread was that Allen Andrade was a rape victim, defending himself against his attacker, Angie Zapata!

Okay. I wasn't serious. Chill!
Mel Gibson is a perahia because he said, "Fucking Jews...Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." I once saw a Latino steal my skateboard from my front yard, and has he hopped on the back of a motorcycle, I yelled out, "Fucking wetback." And I am half Mexican-American.
I have never heard of him trying to impose his version on catholocism on anybody. Certainly his religious views are no more remarkable than those of orthodox jews, or muslims.
I hate to say this, but the above "jew" quote reflects the thoughts of a large number of Americans. This is what happens when you had a government lie us into a war...in part, because of foreign influence and interests.
His comments were anti-semitic. Yet, I would have had no objection had he been more articulate, and stated, "Fucking Zionists..." I think it's undeniable that our foreign policy is warped. Our ally habitually spys on us. We have foreigh proxies in our government, i.e. Lieberman, Congressman Israel and others. I will leave Walt and Meirsheimer to explain the details. Certainly Jane Harman is a good case study.
So why comment on his divorce? His religion? If you don't like that fact that you think he's anti-semitic, why not comment on that. That's what we're really talking about here. The rest of this is smoke filled, coffee house crap.
I don't go to movies. But the next time he comes out with one, I may just go.
I think the word intellible should read "unintellible." Otherwise, I am ambivelant about forcing goverment to supply you with a slogan on your license plate (although I consider myself pro-life, if the abortion procedure will cause agony to the fetus.) That is a bumper sticker issue.
