Why are you always so cruel and spiteful, j_b? You make people feel bad all the time. I think you're mean. his gerbil got stuck.

ding ding ding. we have a winner.

at the most baisic levels it is. would you be sad if your wife died? yes. as we hashed out earlier, the necessity for mourning is innate, while the methods prescribed to do so are not.

i saved $380 on books this semester doing that. can't complain.

jesus aren't you a little whiny bitch? are you still sucking your mother's tit? grow up and grow a pair.

the certain 'behaviors' of a certain culture in mourning is a "social construct" but the universal need for mourning is not. it is innate. if it weren't we would not see this in completely isolated societies.

wow! s. africa # 21! Hmmm...

it cannot be a social construction and be universal. if remote tribes in s.america do this (and they do) then it is not a social construction. greif is universal, the manner in which we go about dealing with it is not. you cannot blame erik for his reaction, but you can blame him for his insensitivities to those that deal with grief in a way other than his.

how can russia have an entirely free press if "anything" to do with the war in chechnya is censored?

I agree with you 100% Should he be considered an asshole for not subjecting himself to a norm that has been socially constructed by others? apparently you do not agree 100%

mabe you can just show some respect. it is entirely possible that a family member will stumble accross this board and see your comments. you probably dont care, cause you are an individualist bad-ass. you all love to think of yourselves this way. think about someone else for a change. i couldn't care less if you mourn for them, but let others do so, that require this.

you have gotta be joking me! albania two down from the U.S!

faq off... he put his foot in his mouth and if you agree with it, you deserve the sme lambasting he got on the other thread.

yes. you came out of the closet long ago.

my arms are 6.5 inches longer than my height. it isn't that abnormal. or mabe i am just a freak too

yes

i always tell myself not to play the cure when i am feelin lovesick, but damnit. it.. just... oh man...

not to be confused with Bob Dole's favorite color- which also happens to be a inspired by a blue pill.

i dont need your condolences!
