  • Re: Abandoned by my party

    Chev:Quit whining and start dancing. I'm not whining, I was sharing an opinion and wondering if any others felt the same way. Isn't that the whole point of a forum- to discuss issues with people of similar interests?

  • 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: @donnamp

    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? ...

  • Insipidity* is not a virtue

    The reason I don't enjoy ''The Colbert Report'' is that on the few occasions I have watched it I didn't find myself laughing. If I had found it to be funny, I very likely would have laughed, don't you think? I occasionally cracked a smile, but that's just not good enough as far as comedy is concerned. What I'm sure I don't understand is why my ...

  • "OMG! Explainer doesn't get it! But I do!"

    Many of the previous posts associated with this article (about Stephen Colbert's run for president) strike me as odd. Some people believe that Juliet Lapidos isn't in on the joke. But see this sentence in the second paragraph: ''The FEC does exempt news programs (including satires like the Report) from the ''in kind'' airtime ban, but not if a ...

  • 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 ...

  • I know I will live to regret this; in fact, I already do.

    Nonetheless: If someone were to kill...let's say, a friend of yours (assuming any such person could exist), would you then argue that your friend wasn't dead if it could not be proven in a court of law that the defendant had done the deed? Let us further imagine that you witnessed the act being committed, from such a close distance and such a ...

  • Trolling, etc.

    Everyone on the Fray knows, or should know, that San is a troll. That said, I actually think the inclusion of the link about sexual abuse allegations was rather gratuitous to your overall point. If the allegations had been proven to be true, then you could (and, I assume, would) have said so, either in your article or in your Fray post. I haven't ...

  • 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 ...
