Threatening to kill a woman for posting pictures of her boobies on the internet?! There is no reasoning with people like that! How can we start a dialog with someone who.. I mean... come on...


eff it, lets free the fark out of 'em

Call me stupid, but while I don't necessarily disagree with them, I'm not sure what these protesters are trying to accomplish, or think they will accomplish.

It's easy to roll our eyes and write this off as more backwardness from a country/region caught int he the 16th century, but it's starting to look like part of a trend worldwide .It seems like women's freedoms are being rolled back everywhere.  Not only are women in Libya, Iraq and Egypt far less free than they were five or ten years ago, but you have the Patriarch of what amounts to Russia's official state religion saying just yesterday that feminism was "dangerous" because it encouraged women to do something other than stay home and raise kids,  and even in the US red states are passing restrictions on things like abortion that are so punitive towards woment they would have been unthinkable a decade ago (tran-vaginal ultra-sounds anyone?) and it's becoming something close to an accepted notion in far right-wing poltical cirlces that women's sufferage was a mistake and the 19th amendment should be repealed (because women are creatures of their instincts and always vote for proponenets of "nanny-state" policies).  The backlash is real, and getting ugly

Still, it's very important that we all respect peoples' choice of sky fairy and allow them to drag the rest of civilization back into the Dark Ages in the name of "religious freedom."  Because... otherwise, we get Stalin!

Right?

Knucklepopper: liam76: Knucklepopper: liam76: Those coonts have gone way passed the stupid line.

It is one thing to say Iwon't allow you to opress me, and I won't fear you and I can burn any symbol I want when you are hundreds of miles from where the lunatics who will kill you for that shiat are in power.  I think it is largely irresponsible and a meaningless gesture, but normally nto that dangerous to anyone.

However when you hitch your wagon to a person who is inthe middle of peopel who will actually hurt you for those things, an dyou start doing those things, that goes beyond irresponsibility.

I think we found Subby.

Pointing out these dumb coonts are endangering the person they claim to be protesting in support of makes me subby?

/not subby

No, that frightening jumble of words you call a post raised my suspicions.

No, the headline's mine, and while it is a bit a run-on it still seem perfectly cromulent to me.   It could have perhaps done with  added commas after "Blogger" and "online"  thereby making the text in the middle a dependant clause.  However, I don't think it is that hard to parse as is.

Look again.

The stretch you made to include America had to have pulled a muscle.

you think so?  I don't.  We have farther to fall, because when have made greater advancements here, but there major difference between the comments of the patriarch of Russian's opinions about women, and those of  many free republic commentators is only that he's willing to say them Out Loud.  If you think I exaggerate go on that site and search any of the article posted in october of last year that showed a 10-point gender gap in favor of Obama
