Dear Chirp, I was the person once known as Jesusstayscrunchy. I didn't troll you on my thread. I have changed accounts, and I'm trying to repair any damage that I've caused. SO I hope you'll give me another chance. However, I didn't troll you -- it's only been this week that I had the points system explained to me. I enjoy your blog! mike
I've been reading Gimbutas for years about ancient cultures that may have been matriarchal, and some of her theories point to a more egalitarian system.
good post, Draginol, as somebody who NEEDED to read something like this
My wife has some reproductive problems, which have caused her a lot of trouble and a total of 5 surgeries. Because sex, at times, was painful for her, and because I wanted to learn about her illness, we've developed a very easy back and forth about sex. I've also found that as I undertand more of the anatomical/biological aspects of the female reproductive system, any embarassment I might have talking about it goes out the window. I go with the wife
I've found that if I want to just say the pledge and not say "under god," then people don't tend to notice. Another thing to do is just realize that the idea of being one indivisible nation, built around freedom is what that really means -- such as Jeffereson's inalienable human rights given by the "Creator." "one nation under god" to me just means one nation united to be "good." One nation united under freedom and morality. I know there are negati
*grin* *shakes* Of course, rightwinger -- little whip, texas wahine, and gideon have been giving me lessons on separating people from their politics
Ow dearie, that's a bad string of luck...I once hit myself 3 times in a row on a cabinet door that wouldn't stay closed -- in the space of about a half hour! Sometimes I think it's magnetic fields that go crazy or something.
Yeah, do people like Maher even think for making these raging generalisations? I've found Bill gets his cart before the horse as far as that thought process quite often.
This is going to be one of the few instances that me and Drmiler agree on. They were here first. We've killed them, shuffled them about, and basically put them on the crappiest land possible. Let's leave them alone on this one, eh?
even as an atheist, "under god" doesn't offend me...nor does "in god we trust" stop me from earning and spending money... As for the Pledge, the Supreme Court ruled a long time ago that nobody can be forced to say it, so I think that should pretty much satisfy anybody. If you're so sensitive that you can't even bear to HEAR the word "god" then you should probably invest in some high priced ear plugs. These anti-under god crusaders are annoyi
ummm wow I feel for you, dude.
*laugh* Very good article, even as a Kerry supporter, I laughed all the way through it...
After 9/11, the already anti-Gore media pretty much said over and over "Thank God Gore wasn't president." This became part of the national conscious. Without 9/11, Gore would have been better able to point at Bush's record and compare it to the Clinton Years. 9/11 changed things, because the answer would always be "Yeah, but that was before 9/11."
hahahaahahahahahahahahaahaha I don't have kids but I've heard playground talk along those lines beautifully handled *salutes*
*laugh* I'd use this if my work server hadn't already blocked most of the porn sites from our access.
Well, it's possibly because Bush supporters tend to be confused about MOST things
good luck, I hope they won't stay negative forever!
very good post, especially from someone who knows all kinds of guns
bleh...I don't think I'm going to mine which is next year...unless I strike it rich or something hahahahaha
does anybody actually give a shit about their job? I have a hard time doing it sometimes...
This doesn't surprise me at all. There is a willful ignorance on the far right.
Now we'll have to hear Bush screaming about "activist judges."
congratulations! just don't get those awful blue "Its a boy" cigars good luck to you both!
I've been reading about this, too, and it seems to be happening in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
I don't know, the last *great* bartender I had was a lady who was probably about 40 or so. She wasn't the flirt type, but she was friendly and quick with ashtray/snack bowl refills, and her drink mixing abilities were superior. The key question for me is experience, and this lady obviously knew how to make good quality drinks from having made them for a long time. The cutey-pie flirt bartender gets old to me after awhile -- I usually go to a
