    oh my, where to start?

    1. There are some seriously humorless people posting here.

    2. You can love BDSM and be sex-positive, and still think that such images are sexist - to do the latter does not make you a prig or a prude.

    3. Dominatrices don't actually have sex with their clients.

    4. If you are a liberal/lefty kind of woman and you are planning on voting for Palin "just to show the guys" or because you don't like how the media is treating her, you are not using your brain (assuming that you have much of one to begin with).

    5. Intelligent people should vote based on the issues and who is best for the job, and not based on emotional reactions to how the media is treating someone.

    Really, what is wrong with you people? Sheesh.
