“Fanned. Yes, there is personal r@cism, when a person actually has negative attitudes toward the group in question, but there is also such a thing as taking advantage of societal r@cism, which is pandering to the r@cist attitudes of others. When you take advantage of the privilege you have, to denigrate others, without feeling negative attitudes toward them yourself, you are as much of a r@cist as if you had those feelings and attitudes yourself.”

“France doesn't extradite its citizens to foreign countries to stand trial. The US has tried to get him when he travelled abroad before, but was just successful this time.”

“Wrong. The MSM sells stuff. Photos aren't idealistic, they sell toilet paper or cars. Now you are part of that conspiracy. Congratulations. Your President is killing kids.”

“But oral cancer from pipe smoking is not, yes?”

“The study Tashkin was commenting on was released last year, nor this June and was done with the cooperation of the Veterans Administration. It's the largest and most thorough study of its' kind with more that 8,000 participants who were all examined regularly by doctors involved in the study over a ten year period (I think, could be longer). Most studies you read involve less than 100 participants with the larger studies really just poll done by grad students and involve nothing more than questionaires with no actual examinations.
Sun exposure, I suppose you are saying pot smokers don't get outside much, would not effect the kinds of cancer this study refers to. Lung cancer, not mentioned in this article was included in the head and neck. It's a general area referred to by the study that includes the upper body.”

“My thoughts exactly. I get to listen to my childless friends complain constantly. Frankly most of them need to get a life. Busy obsessing over their neighbors lawn-watering practices or whether they have a good tan. And actually TALKING ABOUT themselves ALL THE EFFING time. But better never say anything about how great it is to have kids or they see it as pressure....blah, blah, blah... Meanwhile they can sit there and talk about how gross, fat, mean and nasty becoming a mother makes you without even the slightest attempt to spare my feelings.”
