After reading that story about the comic-con babes...Im like WHAT THE FUCK ???

As if we need to make harrassing women more appealing...Or make us men look like sex crazed maniacs...If those women allow themselves to be used like that...Theyre stupid as hell.

The article on men becomming obsolete is also bullshit...Theres nothing wrong with being balanced between our yin and our yang.

Miss furstenburg doesnt really impress me as a good example of a successfull woman simply because she puts too high an emphasis on consumerism which is and has been doing more harm than good...

Pretty damn sad how the conservative religion driven idiotic men keep trying to keep women beaten down...

Ive heard the myth that we live in a theocracy and Im damn glad it is a myth otherwise we would be just as if not more so fucked up as places like afganistan and iran.

Ok...What can we do to deal with those idiotic laws restricting abortion service access ?

Its good that kids in other countries are able to learn...In this case afganistan and iraq.

But, as glad of that as I am...Ive always believed in taking care of our own household before messing with that of others...And truth to tell, Ive never agreed with the iraq war.

Most of America didn't or now don't agree with the war. It's pretty sad our president is so focused on his, "universal health care," plight, he forgot to bring our soldiers home.
