Yes, my responses where juvenile, but I have a tendency to respond in kind. Thank you for commenting on the double standard here. It really does exist I didn't mean this particular instance was juvenile, as I understand that it was a defense mechanism in this case. I was speaking of past instances where

The fact of the matter is, whether you like it or not, celebrities have the right to say whatever they want when they're interviewed. This is no different than local news programs stopping random people in the street and asking them what they think about Bush being reelected, or about the gay marriage issue, or about any political issue that makes big news in this country. Who cares!?!? I certainly don't. I don't care what Garafolo has to say, and I do

2, Baker should have been warned, but since it is not endemic with him, I think that was implied. That's all I was after.

Might want to talk to LW and marvin about that. I think they would prove you wrong. Yeah they were confined for awhile...lets keep it going then, shall we? Look, I"m not saying Baker should be exiled or confined or anything. Quite frankly, I think anyone who can't take being cussed at online is too dam

This would have happened even if that comment was never made, the timing was coincidental. Except that the reason for the exile was given as the language used. Anyway, Ph

The case to be made for Palmeiro being kept out of the HOF rests on a part of the criteria to enter the hall, a part which devotes itself entirely to "integrity" and things such as that. I don't have the time to look it up now, but I'll get back to you with the actual passage if you want me to. Based on that, it would seem unjust to allow a man who cheated to get his credentials in.

I too noticed how bakerstreet's comments were blatantly ignored, while your defense of myrrander was singled out for exile. In fact, I wrote an article about that too! Link While I did think that your mode of argument often weakened similar arguments that I was trying to make, the double standard here pisses me off more. Here's hoping that you're allowed back (your mellower side), and t

Given most of the PETA types I know are atheists, I find it hard to believe that the 'soul' enters into it much... Don't confuse a belief in God with spirituality.

cut out the swearing and the dissing. You should have addressed this to the right-leaning members of the site as well. It's fine and good to tell dabe to cut her crap, but it does everyone a disservice to ignore the crap that the right deals out on this site.

Alright, lets play a game!!! It's called "Guess who said what!!!"

I was watching the news last night. Their top story was about a 21 year old soldier from Indiana, Specialist Adam Harting, already on his third tour of duty, who was killed when a roadside bomb exploded. Lost in the background of the coverage of this man's funeral, and of the town that turned out in its entirety to mourn him, was a group of people holding up large, co

Alight then I apologize for my generalizations of "all" muslims. These should be in "our" papers as well, but they aren't. Why not?

From the same article linked to above: "Almost all - 91% - were against the bombings of July 7, but 2% agreed with what the suicide bombers did." "Around 88% thought there was no justification in the Koran for the bombings, but 5% thought there was."

Damn...y'all get sensitive when people point out there are extremists amongst you too, don't you? You can get all self-righteous about your extremists being "better" than Muslim ones because they haven't killed mass quantities of people, if thats the way you want to go. I'd rather try to stamp them out on both sides, but whatever. Y'all keep giving me your "But Christian extremists are okay because..." all you want.

For all the talk about religion being taken over by radicals, it is less radical, less judgmental, less hateful than in any other time in history. If anything the few hold-outs are just making more noise in response. That doesn't mean they are actually guiding it, because I think it is obvious by the religious tone of the average

Sorry, Philomedy, but the comparison to Durbin's comments is a bit of a stretch, to be generous. Cheers, Daiwa I didn't compare them. I was just pointing out that when a someone from the right says something wrong, its out of context. When someone from the left does it, he must be killed.

I saw a quote a little while back, and while I cannot remember where I saw it, and so cannot name my source, the quote has stuck with me. It really doesn't need any explanation, so i'll just hit y'all with it here: Attention Muslims: Watch out...Your religion is being hijacked by dangerous extremists. Attention Christians: Ditto.<!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-Star
