  • Can't anyone around here play this game?

    These 2 clowns are going to blow it. John McCain is the worst GOP presidential candidate since Bob Dole and all these 2 think about is who has the snarkier response. It is sickening. Can we get some interest in a John Edwards/Bill Richardson ticket after the 1st deadlocked convention vote? As JE said, they would represent the adult wing of the ...

  • N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?

    For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...

  • Re: Psycho-Dad

    Here's a real question...does the writer remember all of these horrors brought upon the family from his own personal memory, or is he depending upon others to tell him what happened? Did his mom convince all of the children of these horrors, or did they really happen? Changed names, moved to another coast? Why was that necessary after the birth ...

    donnamp:What makes one persons opinion better than another persons? What makes your position right and someone else's wrong? Red or white wine? Corn Flakes or Froot Loops? Dog or cat? Burger or salad? Wear shoes or go barefoot? Drive a car or ride a mule? Fish or cut bait? Shit or get off the pot? Paper or plastic? Sink or swim? Life or death? ...

  • Just what the world needs more of...

    haircreme:From now on, from sun up to sun down I'm going to start blogging. For the next two and a half months, I will do nothing but blog cogent and clearly articulated thoughts on Slate.Even if I have nothing to say I'm going to start a chatroom for ruminations that make little to no sense but are clearly worded. I can't wait for that! Or ...

  • In their own words (inaugural San edition)

    As you scan through this thread replying to this post or that, all the while thinking you know with whom you are dealing, make sure you don't miss this (10/22/2007 8:05 PM): San: ''Actually, the HPV vaccine DOES prevent cervical cancer. Not all cases, not 100%, but it has been proven to prevent it under certain circumstances.'' Funny, it ...

  • Fun with C&P (Saletan/drinking age edition)

    Saletan: I haven’t thought it through very far. But temperamentally, I’m for more freedom and more responsibility. So my instinct would be to lower the age while severely punishing impaired driving. And when I say impaired, I don’t mean just booze. I mean cell phones, sleep deprivation, and sex acts while the car is moving. Have any of you seen ...

  • Multiple choice

    ASlyJD: To quote a fundamental concept of logic: A -> B does not equal B -> A. A hateful venom spewing bastard may be a Christian, but that does not mean all Christians are hateful venom spewing bastards. A hateful venom spewing bastard can be an atheist, but not all atheists are hateful venom spewing bastards. Wait...are you saying ...

  • <sob>

    PhysicsGirl: One can not prove the nonexistance of something. Prove that the Easter bunny doesn't exist. Prove that there aren't unicorns. Prove that Tachyons don't exist. It's a meaningless challenge. Even if there is a God, there is no way to prove what type of God She may be. In fact, when you get down to it, defining God is an iffy ...

  • Re: They are now known as the homeless and as prison inmates

    tjcerveza: In the seventies when many psychiatric hospitals were shut down, the idea was to make communities deal with the mentally ill, rather than federal or state governments. They figured it would eliminate having to spend money on themill. But they did not foresee that community mental health centers would not be equipped to take ...
