Hey, guys, keep it down! The last thing we want is for women to figure out what they've handed us. We use to have to get all dressed up, take 'em out to dinner, buy them presents, support them, even get married to get laid. Now we can get nooky without any of that -- hell, we don't even have to hold the door open for them! And they'll pay for dinner! How great is that? So please, knock it off with articles like this one that'll blow the whole deal!

Sure, Surtr, you really care about bodily integrity!" That's why you're campaigning for a ban on tattoos and peirceing in San Francisco, right? Fess up, Surtr. It's okay. We all know you're really for banning circumsicison because it's done by those dasterdly Jooooos!!!

And neurogenic shock -- almost forgot. Sure, every time there's a bris there's Neurogenic Shock: "Neurogenic shock can result from severe central nervous system damage (brain injury, cervical or high thoracic spinal cord) . . . Neurogenic shock can be a potentially devastating complication, leading to organ dysfunction and death if not promptly treated." Wikipedia. How in the world did we not notice that all the brits resulted in organ dysfunction and death for the last 4,000 years! Because I can assure you that not once has a Jewish baby been treated for neurogenic shock after his bris. Unless you count putting a drop of wine on his lips as "prompt diagnosis and treatment." Mighty powerful stuff, that Manischevitz!

Wrong, Ray (if you are an actual person, not a poorly programmed spambot). None of that money leaves the US. It all goes to US defense contractors and their union workers. Is that an example of socialism?

You're terrific, PE. Almost as much of a liar as Spiro. Tim McVeigh yelled "Jesus is great before bombing the federal building in OKC? Jim Jones said "We are now all going to kill ourselves in Christ's name?" Harry Truman ordered the bombing of -- oh wait, it was FDR who started the Manhattan Project. And somehow I thought Germany, full of (as you would say) WHITE CHRISTIANS, was bombed into rubble. Oh yeah, one other thing -- Nagasaki was the most heavily Christian city in Japan, with the largest cathedral in East Asia att the time of the A-Bomb. Of course, there was a little thing called World War II going on at the time, but that's of no relevance, right, PE?

Planet Eath: Suggest you and the good professor read an article or two about what's happening to the Christians in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine BEFORE you make comments like that. Say, for example, http://www.copts.com/english/?p=796

Are you a knowing liar or an ignoramus, Spiro? Almost every word you wrote is false. American troops liberated a number of concentration camps, including Dachau (which I was stationed near) and Buchenwald, and dozens of feeder camps, of which there where hundreds. My father helped liberate Buchenwald. Are you calling him a liar? Are you calling my boss in the U.S. Army, first president of the Dachau survivor’s association, whose father was deputy chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials, a liar? Are you calling my friend, who was chief clerk of the Nuremberg trials, a liar? No, the U.S. Army didn’t liberate any of the Polish camps. So what? I guess executions by strangling, hanging, working people to death, starving them to...

The public employee unions are going to ride the train until it runs out of steam, then they'll run to Boxer and Feinstein and Sanchez and Waxman, et al, to bail them out, but there won't be any money to bail them out with. The only industry left will be the pot growers of Humboldt and Medocino counties, so they take control andCalifornia will become the US's first narco-state. Or something like that.

How dare you say that? Everybody knows the dumbest woman on earth is Barbara Boxer!

You're so right, TX Gal! After all, "Buck Fush," "Somewhere in Texas a Village is Missing an Idiot," and "Assassinate Bush" are calm, rational, normal, political discourse, whereas "I don't want the government in charge of my health care," "Government spending is totally out of control," and "Building a 13-story Islamic cultural center and mosque one-and-a-half blocks from Ground Zero, named the 'Cordoba Center' is triumphalist, insensitive, and indecent," are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, bigoted hate speech. Got it!
