Oh, I'm under no such impression. You misread my irony and sarcasm, ParaTed . But I do think that regardless of PETA's true motivation, the university has pretty much earned themselves an eternity of PETA hell.
And don't abandon them because humane treatment of animals is hard.
At first, I had mixed feelings about this story . But then I got to thinking... On the one hand, wouldn't it be really nice to have a National PETA Shuts The Fuck Up Day? On the other hand, imagine a roomful of animals in cages, as the water in the room continu
It's more a question of priorities, for me. Also the bizarre insistence by some people that the real problem in Iraq is the contractor who is imperfectly contributing to a better tomorrow. Again, the Iraqis would be lucky if Halliburton's skimming was their worst problem--which isn't actually a point I concede. But if you believe that Halliburton is corrupt, there's still the problem that even in their corruption they're still help
And the liberals are just idiots. Ignorant stupid idiots as well. Heh. It's obvious that the opposition faction thinks I'm an ignorant stupid idiot myself. Now, I know that this isn't true. Since the opposition faction is also made up of real live human beings, I assume that they also aren't really ignorant stupid idiots. I'm just, you know, waiting to see some evidence.
Heh. You seem stumped, Myrr , so I'll give you a hint. I'm not bemoaning the low death toll after Katrina: I'm rejoicing in it. And I'm asking you why your faction spends so much time bemoaning this low death toll while holding up other nations (e.g., France) as models of good governance and humane social policy. I think the European heat wave death toll is horrible. Numerically, it's about sixty times more horrible than the K
Okay, so Bush is Evil. Iraq was about the oil. Or about delivering beatings to poor brown people. Or maybe it was just stupid. Whatever. I'll accept any claim you might make about Iraq. Heck, let's even allow that maybe--just maybe!--9/11 was engineered by Evil Zionazi Neocons as an excuse to put U.S. troops in Iraq to make it easier to nuke Iran's peace
Should Pres. Bush have selected [highly qualified and experienced legal professionals] for the Supreme Court? Yes.

I've heard that booking arenas is an extremely complicated process, with all sorts of competing and conflicting interests. Is there any chance that this is the best possible solution, and that the Saints were glad to get it?
You're reading the article in your head, Myrr , not the article I wrote.
What are you talking about?! They're called "hericanes" out of deep respect for the awsome power of wymyn. No feeble male could ever hope to be so in touch with Mother Nature the Earth Goddess. Besides, half of them are named after men, which indicates a great sensitivity and welcoming of all the transgendered among us. Why, because Bush CARES!!!!!!!1111111!!1!OMGWTFBBQ!!!!1111number!

I think it's in the degradation. Accountant for a reputable non-profit charity organization? Not degrading your skills for money. Accountant for a Colombian cocaine cartel money laundering operation? Prostitute. Or take almost all the characters in Strange Days. One degrades his impressive social skills to earn money selling black market services. Another degrades his investigative skills and experience working for jerks.
Nothing. They're strange, and difficult, but I generally just feel grateful that whatever their issues are, they're different from my own gender's issues. Not only does it make for a pleasant change of pace, but it also means that their strengths tend to help me with my weaknesses, and vice-versa. My wife and I can back each other's plays, cover each other's blind spots, and meet each other's needs in ways that even my closest and be
Be fair, Gideon: Planned Parenthood does not endorse or promote those views today. In fact, it's not clear that they ever did, once Sanger left the organization.
Gene imagines an America too weak to support Iraq and rebuild New Orleans at the same time. I imagine an America strong enough to do both and more, but teeming with people too ignorant or mean-spirited to admit it. And run by politicians too incompetent and corrupt to produce the ideal outcome either way. Not that I lose much sleep over it. After all, every other system we know of seems to produce politicians that are even worse, and nations
Ooh! I've got another, one, Colonel : Since Britain was totally failing to defeat Nazi Germany in 1940, that exposed a fatal flaw in Churchill's "resist Hitler" plan, didn't it? We should have gone with Chamberlain's appeasement approach all along! I try to avoid direct personal insults, Gene, but this is seriously the most idiotic line of reasoning I've seen this side of Cindy Sheehan.
If that port serves the entire U.S. then once the first few billions get it jumpstarted, shouldn't the massess of wealth passing through its engines of commerce generate enough profit to continue improving it? Or has New Orleans customarily operated at a loss for all these years? If that's the case, why are we rebuilding it? Once the basic facilities are restored, I'd expect to see the shipping companies themselves pay to improve t
Once again, we see the left's commitment to rejecting anything that isn't perfect right now today. Progress towards a desireable goal means nothing. Only failure to achieve that goal immediately is important. What's next, Gene ? The fatal flaw in alternative fuel research is that it hasn't produced a perfect solution yet? Should we abandon all our efforts along those lines because you don't have a hyper-efficient hydrogen car in your gara
That is Scotland's greatest strength, and greatest weakness.
To be fair, Baker , this seems to be just one woman, with an implicit endorsement from Michael Moore. As of Friday afternoon even Democratic Underground hadn't picked it up. But I don't think we'll hear anybody on the left saying maybe she's not a good person to pay attention to.
Well, it's a start, anyway. Maybe we should team up and pool our anti-pork efforts. Leave all the things we disagree about for later.
Have you discussed the website with your friend? It really seems out of character for a good, decent, and honest man to approve of something that causes anger and disgust.
Ah. I finally figured out what you're doing, Gene . You're not actually trying to justify progressive taxation. You're just trying to explain why now was a bad time to repeal unjustifiable taxes. The flaw in your argument is that there's never really a "good time" to cut revenues. No economy ever seems strong enough or stable enough for a revenue cut to seem like a good idea. And part of the reason the American</I
