Well, good, then for a change my faith in the fairness and intelligence of the common man is justified.
Ture enough. It is undoubtedly just in hindsight that it seems to have rolled through rather more forcefully, and accrued champions rather more quickly. It seems longer when you are observing it in real time.
Don't count on it. First off, he's male, and therefore genetically inferior and likely to die younger. Second, I can't dance now, so being arthritic is unlikely to greatly decrease my abilities. Third, how old do you think I am?

The JDL is not the same thing as the ADL. It advocates targeting Arab-Americans for violent acts --- basically exporting the Israeli/Palestinian conflict to Jews and Arabs in the U.S.

Sounds like a hate group to me. The ADL has denounced it, too.

From the JDL's web site, outlining one of the five principles the JDL stands for:

BARZEL -- IRON

"JDL upholds the principle of Barzel -- iron -- the need to both move to help Jews everywhere and to change the Jewish image through sacrifice and all necessary means -- even strength, force and violence. The Galut image of the Jew as a weakling, as one who is easily stepped upon and who does not fight back is an image that must be changed. Not only does that image cause immediate harm to Jews but it is a self-perpetuating thing. Because a Jew runs away or because a Jew allows himself to be stepped upon, he guarantees that another Jew in the future will be attacked because of the image that he has perpetuated. JDL wants to create a physically strong, fearless and courageous Jew who fights back. We are changing an image, an image born of 2,000 years in the Galut, an image that must be buried because it has buried us. We train ourselves for the defense of Jewish lives and Jewish rights. We learn how to fight physically, for it is better to know how and not have to, than have to and not know how. "

The JDL is a political and paramilitary organization that advocates the use of violence and terror to silence those it labels as anti-semitic. I'll let you decide if that qualifies them as a hate group.

(You may be confusing them with folks like the Anti-Defamation League, an organization that tirelessly fights discrimination in ways most of us admire).

Get a fan -- I recommend Vornado. I am not keen on A/C and thus barely run it even though it tends to get a little sticky down here in the "Old South." I use fans and I personally believe that they keep you cooler than A/C (unless you use your A/C in such a manner as to make a refrigerator obsolete). In any event, you can take your mind off of how hot you are by talking into the fan and listening to your voice change. :D

What amazes me (besides how they get those little pictures into my TV, of course), is how these gnats overlook how much their extra-marital trysts, abusive nature to their spouse and kids (verbal counts too), and often too little time spent raising their children "destroys" the family. I work with a great lesbian (are there any other kind?) and she and her partner are trying to have a child and will make great parents -- I bet that their children (fingers crossed for luck) will turn out better than most of the wastoid dysfunctional by-products of "normal" families.

Frist is a fucking biggoted asshole
 

That's because there are no "accidental" pregnancies involving lesbian couples (inside the relationship I mean). Each pregnancy/adoption is well thought out and planned.

Most of the idiot parents either had children to "save the marriage" or got pregnant "by accident" and find out they hate each other outside of the bedroom much too late. It's what keeps Springer in business.

Fertility ill more common in lesbians

PCOS almost 3 times more prevalent in homosexual women
June 30 — Lesbians are more likely to suffer from a common fertility problem that can also increase their risk of developing obesity, heart disease and diabetes than other women. Dr. Rina Agrawal, a fertility expert at the London Women’s Clinic and The Hallam Medical Center in Britain, said an ovarian problem caused by an imbalance of sex hormones is more than twice as common in lesbians as in heterosexual women.
“A STARTLING number of lesbian women have polycystic ovarian syndrome,” Agrawal told a fertility conference.
“The prevalence of PCOS is two and a half times, almost three times, as high in lesbian women compared to heterosexual women.”
PCOS is the most common cause of ovarian dysfunction in women. It is characterized by abnormal follicles, cells in which the eggs mature in the ovaries, irregular periods, acne, obesity, a hormone imbalance and an increase in body and facial hair.

Agree with you on Creed. But many of the stupid songs discussed last week start to grow on you, like a fungus. If you want an Iraqi to spill the beans on WMDs and stuff, you can't get there by playing songs about Pina Coladas and cakes left out in the rain. You've got to fry their brain. For interrogating enemy prisoners, you need something like Pigface, early Metallica, or endless bluegrass (I like bluegrass, but the human mind can only handle so many banjo solos).

Edited to add: I've reconsidered my position on Creed. We just want to interrogate them. We don't want to kill them.

Heavy metal.

Loudspeakers, leaflet drops, radio and television broadcast, wanted posters as well as posters to turn in weapons for money, were all used in Operation Just Cause in 1989-1990 in the arrest of Manual Noreiga. It has been reported that heavy metal music playing 24 hours a day hindered Noreiga and his camp to think, plan, and sleep. (Clancy, Stiner, Klotz, 2002) This is an example of PSYOPS success.

As to why so many people seem to expend inordinate amounts of energy to talk against homosexuality.

It is my experience that people who have a hard time understanding something sometimes over-argue the point to try and "convince themselves."

To people who take the bible literally, some of the hardest areas to deal with involve those biblical passages that are quite discriminatory e.g., prohibition against male homosexuality, slavery, etc.

It may be that many of these "anti-gay" people have an impossible time reconciling the biblical "anti-gay" position with their general tolerance towards other people and are vocal because sub-consciously they are trying to convince themselves?

What do you think?

This is probably too serious a post for the FB, but I will risk it. PCOS affects approximately 10% of reproductive aged women and is the most common cause of infertility among women (it is highly treatable with meds, BTW). An interesting thing to note is that one of the characteristics of PCOS is excess testosterone. The excess testosterone does not cause PCOS--it is a symptom of it. I am curious, however, whether the excess testosterone has any correlation with lesbianism. Something along these lines...one develops PCOS (which is made worse by the low fat, high carb diets all of us--until recently--have been told to eat; not surprisingly, diagnoses of PCOS have soared in recent years), which leads to higher testosterone levels...which makes women somehow more attractive??

Maybe an idiotic line of reasoning, induced by excessive bar study issue spotting, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

I have a friend with PCOS. She suspected she had it several years ago, and asked her doctor about it. He ordered the test, she got back negative results from the lab, so she started looking into other possibilities. A couple of years later, having found no other explanation that covered all her symptoms, she checked back and found that the doctor had mistakenly ordered a PSA test. Of course it came back negative--she doesn't have a prostate, let alone prostate cancer! So they ran the right test, she got the diagnosis she had suspected all along, got on the right meds, and now she's lost tons of weight and makes many fewer visits to the aesthetician.

Moral of the story: nothing wrong with checking the lab order form before they run the wrong test.

I don't believe there is any correlation between excess testosterone and lesbianism. Nor is there any correlation between lack of testosterone in men and homosexuality.

I would not be surprised if some differences were found biologically speaking however, though at the moment when something is found it is normally just amongst a small percentage of the population. Lesbians, as a whole are one of the least studied groups, medically speaking.

Any graduate of an American middle school can easily tell you there are deeply rooted biological differences. Just ask the subject to look at em's fingernails. Bingo. Em's sexual destiny is foretold.

As I recall, the backup plan was to ask "Are you a fag in a cage?", a test which also boasted 100% accuracy.

However, the test for cancer, while non-invasive, had less conclusive results, as it tended to be interrupted by a non-sequitur.

I am intrigued by these gay tests, I'd not heard of them before. How did you know lesbians in middle school? Is this like some hetdar or something? Cool! Do you have something that is the equivalent of the rainbow flag you put discretely on the back of your cars causing you to wave and honk at each other? When you are walking down the street, do you look each other in the eyes and sort of connect for a second and nod knowingly at one another? Or is that like when men burp or fart and laugh really hard when their womenfolk look all irritated? I don't think gay men do that...of course, I am sure none of the men here do that either. In fact, I think you ALL are gay.

It has all become clear to me, this board is Sodom and the old board is Gomorrah. You bunch of sodomites who don't know how to show hospitality you.

The entire board is going to hell. HELL I TELL YOU.

I kinda agree with your direction of thinking. Perhaps four weeks worth of Michael Bolton or Stevie Wonder would do the trick. Maybe they could do the theme song from Titanic on continuous replay.

I remember some of the psychological analysis of this as it was happening. The "experts" were making much of the fact that Noriega was supposedly a big fan of both classical and opera. As such, it was argued that he could easily appreciate most any genres of music and could possibly withstand the PsyOps for any number of weeks.

Personally, I got a bigger kick out of the PsyOps stuff they pulled at the Waco compound - complete with animal sounds (cows, elephants, chickens) at all hours of the night.

"Arter & Hadden LLP
Winding up of Arter & Hadden LLP and Notice of Termination of Employment

TO: All Personnel - All Offices
DATE: June 27, 2003
RE: Winding up of Arter & Hadden LLP and Notice of Termination of Employment

Unfortunately, we must now report that efforts to obtain the additional financing and required concessions from Arter & Hadden's landlords to continue the law firm have been unsuccessful. As a result, we are planning for the winding up of the affairs of Arter & Hadden.

We will need to permanently terminate the employment of substantially all employees of Arter & Hadden at the end of the business day on July 15, 2003. This will result in the permanent closing of our offices in their entirety. No bumping rights exist.

As many of you know, we had been negotiating with our lenders in an effort to obtain additional capital as well as with our landlords. We believed that we had a realistic opportunity to obtain rent concessions and the additional funding that would have been sufficient to permit Arter & Hadden to continue to operate going forward. However, due to the sensitivity of the negotiations, we believed that giving notice sooner may have put the discussions at risk, and eliminated any chance to restructure our debt and continue operations. Accordingly, we are giving you as much notice as is practicable under the circumstances.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience during these difficult times. We will keep you apprised if any changes take place. If you have any questions please contact the Cleveland Office Administrator, [name and number removed] or the local Office Administrator assigned to your particular office."

B-52s - "Love Shack." Actually, anything that contains over two seconds of Fred Schneider's voice becomes automatically flamin South Beach gay. If Fred Schnieder had a bit part in "the Good the Bad and the Ugly" the movie would automatically become a gay epic.

Elton John - "Im Still Standing." I first saw this video when I was maybe 12, and even in that naive state, I recall thinking "This guy ain't bisexual at all."

The ulitmate gay male anthem is course Pete Townsend's "Rough Boys".* That record execs and agents let Townsend release this tune on an album, let alone make a video for it and release it as a single, shows just how coked out everyone in the record biz was during the 80s.

* Also works as the theme music for the Catholic Bishops' Conference.
