“In Arnold's defense, he's hardly a national Republican. In fact, the Republican's here in CA hate him. He's pro gay marriage, pro choice. In the South, he'd be labeled a communist or worse, a socialist!”

“Arnold is in such denial. Come over to the dark side Arnold. I like being a social democrat the water is great.”

“PETA lost me over the Pres. Obama vs. fly incident. I used to be sympathetic. Animal rights lost a crucial ally when whomever is guiding PETA ran the organization off the road. I wouldn't give PETA a penny these days.”

“You need not give PETA any money or any attention at all. It's easy to walk into your supermarket and tell the manager and the meat manager in a friendly and concerned fashion that you and your family don't buy anything that started out as an animal raised on a factory farm.
When our supermarket started carrying a small number of free-range meats and dairy products, we thanked them for contributing to our health and well-being. They have since expanded, and lots of people in our community are now buying free-range. I still give our appreciation regularly to this supermarket and its parent chain. We can now get free-range turkeys every Thanksgiving -- turkeys who lived comfortably naturally, and died with very little trauma. The practice of promoting the right to a comfortable existence for all creatures will benefit you and your family. There is no good future to fostering cruielty.”

“Yes, there is scientific evidence. Men's brains work differently from womens. And, as I understand it, people who are transgendered have brains that operate the opposite of how you would expect given their bodies before surgery. You can research the science as easily as anyone. You DO have a computer.”

“"F@t jokes, r@cial jokes, e.thnic jokes, ugIy jokes, short jokes, bl0nd jokes...they all tap into people's prejudices and insecurities. What's so funny about people different than you? Why does this seem to be so prevalent in the Anglo-Saxon world and not nearly as common anywhere else?" Amanda, I lived in Europe for years (mostly in Italy) and I can assure you that fat, racial, ethnic, ugly, and short jokes are more alive and well there than in the US. I also have a close friend from Japan and he tells me that the Japanese are no strangers to jokes that would embarass most Americans. With the exception of blond jokes, jokes about the other subjects you list are universal.”

“That's your problem--"fairness across the board"--you don't see the distinction. The distinction IS that gay male soldiers have "showered" with straight male soldiers in every war since there have been showers. Being a gay male vet of Vietnam, I don't recall anyone having a problem with showering with me or vice versa. But to be blunt with you Mike63, showering was at the bottom of each soldier's and Marine's list. Staying alive was--and when it came down to it, each man relied on the other--gay and straight--to help stay alive. If you think anyone on the lines in Iraq or Afghanistan is worried about the shower, you know NOTHING about being in the armed forces.
Grow up!”

Public Sees A Tilted Playing Field

“Like many others, I am amazed with what eagerness the American electorate keeps pulling the lever for politicians who work against the interests of those same voters. It's primarily Republicans, but as we see with the health care issue, there are plenty of Democrats in Washington (and elsewhere) who serve up plates of crap sandwiches to their smiling constituents.”

“And then there is something known as freedom of speech. But that's one of those things that would disappear if the Christian Taliban took over. Listen, I value freedom of religion (if only we had freedom from religion, but that's another post). We can worship or not the way we see fit. Equally as important, is freedom of speech, which means that I don't have to agree with you, but you can express what you want.”

“I just sent the following to Sen. Lieberman. Thanks to the person who posted his web address:
Dear Senator Lieberman.
I am 57 years old. I lost my health insurance earlier this year. I could no longer afford to pay for it. I have high blood pressure and prostate disease. I must triage my medications, taking only what I have to take to keep me alive, foregoing those medications that would make my life better or, perhaps, prolong it. I have worked since I was 14 years old. I read that you are against the public option and will join the Republicans in a filibuster. While you may find the filibuster "politically convenient", for me, and thousands of others, it may mean a death sentence. I ask you to reconsider, for my sake and the nearly 50,000 people in this country who died last year because they didn't have health insurance.”

“My heart goes out to people with stories like yours. I wish there was something I could do othere than what I haver been doing - I think with reasonable passion. And wonder, what are these illustrious elected representatives of ours really thinking.
This is NOT my idea of how democracy should work. When I see most the civilzed world have better outcomes at half our expenditures, and our politicians resort to distortions, mistruths, lies and labels like socialism, etc., it makes my blood boil.”

“oldGunny, you and me both. I'm staying! And what we need is for there to be a Constitutional Convention to amend our dysfunctional constitution. I'd also like to see fewer initiatives, all of which tend to be sponsored by special interests, some with seeming good ideas but no idea how to pay for them. When these interests can't persuade the legislature to do their bidding, we get the signature gatherers standing outside my favorite supermarket and yours telling us why we need to get Proposition X passed, but failing to say how we will pay for it after it passes. Participatory democracy gone amok.”

“I fail to see the connection between western cities that depend on water from far away and green jobs. For example, Los Angeles depends on water delivered by an elaborate system of canals from northern parts of the state. Actually, the way the water is delivered is pretty green. Also, the city has stringent--and I mean stringent--water use regulations that reward conservation and punish waste and overuse. People in Orange Co., just south of Los Angeles, are the leaders in using brown water and even cleaned up sewage water for all uses, including, drinking! The most surprising statistic for California is that, as a whole, the state uses the same amount of energy it used in 1978 even though the populations had more than doubled. No other state can claim those bragging rights--none.”

Collision: Is Religion Absurd or Good for the World?
Commented Oct 25, 2009 at 16:43:03 in Living
“You seem to conflate religion with religious experience. Organized religion requires a suspension of intellectual inquiry after the age of 8. Religious experience, may not. In fact, religious experience, in my opinion, requires some constant reassessment of orthodoxy and, yes, the fairy tales as well as thought throughout life. Maybe the result of that religious experience if an acceptance of atheism; maybe its a rejection of accepted religious orthodoxy but a fuller understanding of God (in whatever form he or she takes); or maybe that religious experience is a fuller understanding of those fairy tales. But, your response to my posting seems to indicate that while religion for you means accepting the fairy tales without examination. And, you seem to interpret any criticism of those fairy tales a rejection of the religious experienc. My point, which you missed, is that a true religious experience can be attained outside of orthodoxy. That seems to scare you enough that you attack me.”
elmerfude replied on Oct 25, 2009 at 18:12:01
“As for attack DAN if you can't take it, don't dish it out. I actually agree with you to some extent. I was baptized a Mormon at age 8 (as I recall), but it didn't fry my brain completely because I had myself excommunicated later. I took some good life habits away from my early religious experience. (Lest you joke, multiple wives wasn't one of them.) What I object to is your reference to "most religious faiths" as necessitating a belief in fairy tales. This just isn't the case. Good religion may involve extracting truth from poetry, metaphor, parables and even history; but this is a far cry from running around equating god with the tooth fairy.”

“What IS wrong with Geogia?”
rtlr1004 replied on Nov 02, 2009 at 13:55:05
“What is wrong? There is entirely too much "church" influence. The Republicans profess their faith in God and their belief in demanding family values. The Republicans have convinced the majority of white church goers that Democrats are the spawn of Satan. In addition, church members listen to their pastors slyly endorse the Republican. Unfortunately, the majority can not make a decision for themselves; they are brain-washed by the ridiculous claims of family values, yet they NEVER take the time to look at what these two loons actually do. They both are against health care reform. They both voted no on the Franken Amendment, and I promise you very few, if any, of the Christian voters in Georgia will ever see the hypocrites they make themselves by continuing to vote for self-serving Republicans. Pretty much, if you are white and live in Georgia, you are Republican. Georgians see them as tight with money and God-fearing. I am white and live in Georgia. I thank God I can see the truth. It is embarassing.”

“Add Virginia to North Carolina, but I don't remember if Virginia is still in the South or not. But, I have long wondered why Georgia remains stuck in the 50s. I guess its because the only really progressive areas of Georgia are the city of Atlanta and Athens. Atlanta, a relatively small in population city, is ringed by heavily Republican suburbs. Even the wealthy, well-educated northside is heavily Republican. Will it ever change?”
