| I was reading this book called Boundary Issues , which goes over the (not uncommon) idea that what we are looking for in a romantic partner is whatever we needed most growing up that our parents didn't provide us. I've found this to be disquietingly, creepily accurate. The hopeful side of this is th... |

| So are we not allowed to respond to the topic because we're "hypocrites" or politically incorrect? I believe many of us are only responding to this issue regarding Afghanistan and Islam, which is what this topic was originally about. I see nothing wrong with that and we can also add how barbaric ot... |

She defended the morality of "us." Since this is an American based, English Language site, it seems fair to assume the historical references I made to the immorality of the UK and the US would be applicable. |

| Yeah well what if she said Christian fundies...would your attitude be different then? Yes--because to complain about Islam on an anglocentric site has a stronger edge of xenophobia than to complain about Christianity. I would still have defended it though; other things being equal, hypocrisy should... |

| and these people (muslim fundies) have the nerve to call *us* immoral... I find this offensive for its obtuseness. Marital rape was completely legal in some places in the US and throughout the UK less than 20 years ago , and is still far less punishable than non-marital rape in most places. . . . s... |

| I also wonder why standards must be the same across WP. If homogeneous regulation doesn't serve the community, why have homogeneous regulation? It strikes me that permitting a flame section--which no one would have to go to, ever, if they didn't want to--and then being strict about personal attacks ... |

| Anyway, all of that said, these figures don't say much at all. Only a few of them seem to and they lack a level of necessary analysis, and two figures seem to contradict each other. So, really, the figures aren't interesting so much as they are just trying to attack Bush. That said, I would bet tha... |

That makes me sad.
You don't seem stupid at all, and your avatar is certainly cute. . . |
