stepping on top of another oppressed group isn't going to do much to improve the lot of yours.
all this reminds me of is PCU (damn, that's another movie i forgot to add) where there's a line of people waiting to get into the concert and each group claims they are the most discriminated against and should be first in line.

don't stop bitching on my behalf. you got an injustice to call out? go for. i was just taking you to task for practically denying another injustice.

like, for example, blacks don't know what oppression is? :p

fair enough. not entirely sure i subscribe to that point of view, but you put your feelings in much more eloquent terms.
keep up the good fight.

Yeah, the fact that they're doing this is really, really offensive. They're not just ignoring the perfectly legal same-sex marriages - they're taking it upon themselves to change the information from "married" to "unmarried partners". So it's not just insulting, it's skewing the data.

If gays get married how do they decide who's the wife, because should it end in divorce the bitch gets to keep all the stuff!

number 1 - bush blames dems. for high price of gas last week. uhmm . . . the price of gas has dropped almost seventy cents in less than two months. are they to blame for that as well? does anyone care that this could be a (close to the election) ploy seeing how the voters are saving money at the pump now?
number 2 - (more important of the two) cher could play catwoman in the next batman. :eek:

Next thing you know, the Republicans are going to give us a pullout date and tell us we've won the war.

i am surprized bush hasn't come out and blamed obama for the u.s. "losing" in afghanistan.
and if you want some great reading, check out the issue of national geographic that has iran on the cover. oh my god. the history of persia. the mis-information we live on based on our government's perception. i feel bad for the people of iran. and i thought we are controlled by religion.

I think we need to write Websters a letter and petition to have the word "Apathy" changed to fit it's new common usage:
"A person so distracted that he chooses not to focus or take action."
Even the most active advocate can cross the line into the world of "Everything and everybody is so fucked up, why vote or try to change it?" Thereby, giving into their worst distracting demons. An over-informed populous, as demonstrated by the last 10 years of internets, can in some ways be MORE apathetic by way of being MORE distracted.
We need to get over the word apathy or at least change the definition.
Now cynicism is a different ball game. If you're a cynic, you might as well be eating wet canned dog foood.

i guess wondering who is the coolest person and what to listen to while having sex is more important.
