Liz Smith Presents Fashion's Simon Doonan in an Anti-Hockey-Mom Mood

I asked honest questions with no emotions, just asking questions. I don’t know why you have to be such an asshole in your response. Do you always respond to everyone is this supercilious, rude, smart ass manner? Maybe you think you know it all and your opinion is the only one that counts.I thought this was supposed to be a place for open discussion but, if people have to be so nasty, I don’t think I care to waste any more time on it.

Couple questions and comments. Hope I don’t offend anyone but I would like some clarification. Where’s the proof of voter fraud? I don’t think we need guns in our homes. Having lived in Illinois for about 4 years, I feel they needed to restrict guns. Have you read Obama’s thesis and did you know Bush graduated from Yale, not Harvard? How does being mayor of a very small town qualify anyone to run the entire country? And Palin’s only been governor of Alaska for about 21 months. From recent reports, it seems she has a rather spotty record so far. Being married for 20 years and raising 5 children doesn’t qualify anyone for high national office. Apparently, running Wasilla was actually a part time job and, again, she’s been governor less than two years. There’s nothing to be found on any affair in Puerto Rico. Sounds like an urban legend. Can you provide a link or something about the infanticide accusation? Again, it sounds like an urban legend or something that may have been grossly misinterpreted. And what does that have to do with teaching birth control? Don’t you think that’s far better than unwanted children, among other things? Palin accepted earmakrs for her state. Michelle Obama gave up her job with the law firm and there’s nothing to indicate that she had anything to do with any earmarks. What did the firm get them for, from whom and how much were they? A lot of people who grew up during and after the 60s did some dumb things, including experimenting with drugs. He got himself out of that milieu so it’s really a non-issue. And it wasn’t that extensive. Most of what I can find regarding the Socialist New Party comes from various blogs. We all have the right to belong or not belong to whatever party we choose. We can change parties, too, if and when we feel it’s the right thing to do. So what?

I was responding the the remark just before regarding urination, not breast feeding. As far as I know, public urination is still unacceptable in this culture.

I didn’t say it was not normal but it isn’t acceptable in our culture to do it publicly.

Well, urination, defecation and copulation are also the most natural acts and have been around forever. Do you feel those activities should also be done publicly? Just because “boobs” are falling out all over the red carpet doesn’t mean it’s acceptable or less offensive to many. If a woman can show her breast publicly, shouldn’t a man be able to show his penis publicly? After all, it’s perfectly natural and been around forever. When my mother gave me her milk, she did so discreetly and privately.

I’m far from the only one who is uncomfortable with this. I feel it’s inappropriate to expose breasts publicly whether it’s breast feeding or topless dancing; it’s still an exposed breast. This doesn’t mean I’m against breast feeding but that it should be done with some discretion. The basic activity isn’t much different than a cow or cat or dog or any other mammal feeding its young but we aren’t cows or cats or dogs. We have different sensibilities and those sensibilities vary a great deal from one society to another and even within a given society. While one person has the right to breast feed, another person has the right to be spared the sight of an exposed breast.

Did you go to your high school reunion?

I went to the 30th out of curiosity but have no plans to go ever again. Most of my friends were older and attended different schools so, by the time senior year rolled around for me, I just wanted to get it done and get out. The school has a web page that I look at once or twice a year and I have been in touch with a few people that I knew of but didn’t know back then. A couple of us have become good friends. Most of my classmates had just grown older, not grown up. Same cliques, same airheads, etc. Once was enough.

I never implied that an infant shouldn’t be fed. I merely stated that exposing one’s breast publicly was offensive. One can feed an infant without flopping one’s tit out. Just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it should be done publicly.

Sarah Palin and Princess Diana - Distant Cousins

I’m sure there are many people who are distantly related to Roosevelt and Princess Diana and others. I don’t think it matters that much since each of us is an individual. We each have to stand on our own merits. (Though, frankly, I would love to be related to Whoopi Goldberg.)

Sorry but I find public breast-baring, for any purpose, very offensive. I understand that this is a natural act but there are several natural acts that really should be kept a bit more private. This is one of them.

Please knock off the childish namecalling.

Loud-Mouth-and-Loose-Lipped Palin Owes Obama an Apology for This One, by Margo Howard

I didn’t say the above was classy. I said that Palin didn’t have enough class to apologize. The writer was right on about Gov. Palin. I understand the issues quite well, thank you, and watch whom you call unintelligent.

Who won Thursday night's debate?

No where was Obama directly or even indirectly accused of sexism or racism. Again, misunderstanding and misinterpretation.

Who won Thursday night's debate?

No one said that Obama was doing these things. No one even implied it. It sounded like there were errors and screw-ups, much like in Florida in 2000, but that doesn’t mean there was vote tampering, nor does it mean that Obama had anything to do with it. There were questions but no accusations of vote tampering. The anonymous report about schoolchildren being bussed somewhere to vote is pure poppycock. No one under the age of 18 can vote. In most states, they have to be registered and usually ID is checked to verify age.This is a real stretch but one can make that stretch if one is determined to misinterpret, misunderstand and mislead.

Who won Thursday night's debate?

In other words, you can’t support what you posted which makes your accusations empty, petty and meaningless.
