This post and the research blew my mind. What an interesting conclusion to draw. I don't know if it was as much race-based as it was that Myspace looks like a teenager's room: disorganized, full of posters of bands, and lots and lots of inane chatter.
Facebook is where the adults can gather and calmly and rationally discuss which Scorcese movie they're most like.

That's the saddest thing I've ever read. What an evil mom, and I have student loans. If I thought I was going to be able to pay those down and then it turned out I wasn't? Shiiiiit.

Re: Rush Limbaugh Claims Republicans Need a Civil Rights Movement

@Spirit_55z Love "The Oxycontin Ox"

The last time I checked, civil rights marchers didn't "run away" from the dogs, the firehoses or pricks like Bull Connor. They stood their ground and endured beatings, arrests and worse. How that struggle translates to "If ever a civil rights movement was needed in America, it is for the Republican Party. If ever we needed to start marching for freedom and constitutional rights, it’s for the Republican Party."
I don't know.

It takes some mighty big and brass ones to equate losing an election with being in bondage.

I don't think they're "homosexual feelings." It's not an agenda or a lifestyle. It's who you are (or, who you're not.) I have brown eyes, not a preference for brown eyes.

When will these morons learn? Oh wait, they won't.

Ah yes. You've discovered the art of putting in tags that have nothing to do with your blog.

DADT seems like a solution that was just meant to pass the buck. The real solution lies with realizing that your buddy on the battlefield was gay, but he saved your life. Those kinds of experiences are deadly to prejudice.

Re: More Right Wing Pigshit

This is from http://crooksandliars.com/d...
The progression of the nation's first federal hate-crimes law -- the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act -- out of the House and into the Senate, where it will almost certainly pass (barring a GOP filibuster), has the right-wing punditocracy in an uproar.

Especially Sean Hannity -- who's now just flatly lying on the air about the bill, and about hate-crimes laws in general. The distortion and demagoguery is making quite a spectacle.

The right-wing smear-and-lie machine has been getting cranked up to fight this bill from the outset, with notable contributions from the likes of Virginia Foxx. But the champion liar/demagogue is Rep. Steve King of Iowa, who has been throwing up garbage amendments -- including a nonsensical attempt to include veterans under hate-crime provisions. Of course, Hannity reported this attempt as something serious instead of the cheap grandstanding it was.

And the grandstanding continues with subsequent attempts to exclude pedophiles from bias-crime protection. On Fox News last night, both Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity devoted segments to exploring King's proposals to exclude pedophilia as a "protected class."

There's a big problem with this claim: There's nothing in either the federal legislation, or in any state law, that could credibly be construed as offering protection to pedophiles. In fact, the entire construct -- that these laws create "protected classes" -- is false to begin with.

But King's argument appears predicated on the notion that pedophilia might somehow legally qualify as a "sexual orientation" -- which is to say, it rests on the assumption that homosexuality is somehow akin to pedophilia.

Nonetheless, the hamhanded upshot of these cheap ploys is that Sean Hannity could get on the air and say:

HANNITY: Is it safe to say that Democrats were willing to protect pedophiles but not offer the same protection to servicemen and women? Is that an accurate statement?

KING: Sean, it is a matter of congressional record. Absolutely true -- beyond any doubt whatsoever.

What a bunch of fucking liars!!!!

They're so stupid.
First of all, homosexuals are a targeted group of individuals. No one attacks a grandmother simply because she's a grandmother.
Secondly, they have to show intent. If in fact they did attack grandma because she was grandma, and could prove an anti-granny bias, then they might be able to prove a hate crime.

Besides, I thought the right thinks that all gays are pedophiles anyway. What's their beef?

Re: Georgia State Senate Use Racist Code Language to Threaten Secession from USA

Lyndon Johnson — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 09:21:46 -0000

The general sentiment is correct: This bs has been decided already. They're the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments or, the Civil War Amendments.

The text that was particularly striking to me were the final paragraphs that outlined what Georgia thinks will nullify the Constitution. It smacks of right-wing white supremacist paranoia.

"I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State.
Why would the federal gumment ever need to establish martial law, unless provoked by states that advocate secession?

II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.
III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.
Um, hello? This is a direct response to the unfounded claims that Obama is going to form a Hitler Youth-style volunteer organization which in reality will be a re-education mechanism.

Here's the truth, righties: We're not Socialist. Obama doesn't want your stupid guns. Global warming is happening. Evolution is real. Get a clue.

Now I hope you know that I wouldn’t get on your for changing your plans and being frustrated with the minefield that is higher ed. The fact that you went from one program into another and didn’t just give up is testament to your strength and intelligence.

You’ll be fine. Let me know if you need any help. Maybe you can steal me some drugs for which I’m currently paying out the nose.

The thing is, how does killing a bunch of police officers prevent the overturning of the second amendment? If anything, it exacerbates the need for further gun control.

Shaving in the shower works, but spend a few days a week getting the main stubble nice and even, or you'll inevitably miss spots and look like a goon.

Also, properly lubricate, people!
