i doubt that suprises anyone

i don't see how that moved the world a single milimeter towards reasonableness - not sayign though that boycotting things associated w/ hate-speech is stupid, just that its not really going to change the fact that right-wingers will still say crazy shit and crazy folks will act on it

how else do plan on making them big old meanies stfu? they won't stop so long as they have air in their lungs... fuck ya'lls skiingn on virgin powder - aid climbing in the freezing damp!

agreed, but if you want to really do something about the right's message, which has been in use since jesus was still shitting in his drawers, your only option is to adopt the same tone and advocate the same tactics, which gets you where exactly? otherwise, it's shrieking into the whirlwind.

i found the "sit down and shut the fuck up" vaccine entirely ineffective

again, point to time in american or for that matter world history when that genie ever was IN the bottle? our nature as half-hairy monkies is spelled out pretty handily in our history - we fling modern poo in political form, and some of us then go crazy and eat the poo, and the babies, and pull down the forest on top of ourselves now that's fine philosophy for 726 in the a.m.

Huh? Crazy people not representative of politics? This incident is one of many that arise out of one despicable method of discourse, not in spite of it! Tea bagging being fruit of the same tree...... seriously, when in human history has political discourse not been vituperative? crazy people doing crazy shit is hardly new either. more of the same old shit, and sad as ever.

had that fun disease as a kid - info says shingles vaccine isn't for you till yer 60...

nice - just noticed how this pic catches all the gear on the traverse in the background - it's a testament to how fucking dark it is in that cave that i never noticed those anchors till today!

maybe i'm too much of an optimist, but this story is a reaffirmation for me of some of the things that i thing amerikkka is actually good for 1. this is the end of sarah's career - period. she runs for president? yeah, shouldn't be too hard to craft a mud-slinging commericial just for her... 2. compare this to pakistan last week. some wing-nut caps a secular governor and half the nation is out throwing rose-petals at his feet - even the right-wingers of our country have to acknowledge this guy is ape-shit. only the fringe of the fringe could support this.

by this document, i'm all good - i manage to get stiches often enough, i've probably doubled n' tripled up on the tetatnus vaccine every damn decade for awhile now i didn't see much else on that list that needed boosters? i don't tend to get the flu vaccine most years, largely out of laziness (and no real fear of the consequences), and my understanding is the science ain't real good for that anyhow

nice - hope the ospray joins us next time - i had the winebox n' everything!

Someone's finally discovered a practical use for a baby. huh? fat-bastard was way ahead of these lame-os!

course, that said, i can't recall much bitching about the problems w/ schools...

i was just assuming you were challenging me to pistols at dawn, when next we meet? which is gonna be when firfuksakes? let's go do hood or wander down smithways, eh?

clearly vaccines are evil - witness the earth on the verge of 7 billion meat-puppets! why, if there were no vaccines...there'd....there'd....

i only beat my children when i'm asleep...probably why they've learned to stop jumping on me when i'm snoring on the couch

you end up eating bacon?

what childhood vaccines did i get that i need boosters for now, and why does this never come up during my yearly physicals?

thought the whole idea of being a well-informed citizen revolved aroudn the idea of not using a single source?

seems to me a mostly silly issue - even IF autism were a remote, remote consequence of a vaccine, it seems pretty obvious your kids more likely to die or be fucked up as a consequence of getting the disease life's dangerous, buy a helmet.

this month's article on bigwall caving in vietnam was sweeeet too

bbc ain't much better (though i do enjoy their weather forecasts for london "grey cloud" "white cloud" "sunny intervals" etc) - npr is like democracy: frequently lame, but all the alternatives are shittier.
