(I did hear him call me a "f*cking baby" once, but then when I yelled, "WHAT did you just call me?" he retorted, "You weren't supposed to hear that!" and then I started laughing and the fight was over. I sometimes HATE that he's so darn funny. Ruins perfectly good fights.) But looking at the root causes of why "n*****" is hateful in a way that "honky" isn't, and how "c*nt" is hateful in a way that "prick" just isn't, I think it comes back to who is saying it and who has the power.

And while there's I imagine, no power on earth that would make you strike a woman, the physical fact remains if you did, you could hit her harder than she could hit you. You have the upper hand, and you were given that by physiology. In a way, the stronger person always has the upper hand in a fight, and it's testament to our progress and growth as a society that the stronger one will opt to not ever play that card and choose to negotiate through a fight differently. Because now, most of us see it as more "manly" to keep one's fists in one's pockets. And I think not saying words that say that one is bad simply because one is female or black is another way of keeping those fists in their pockets. It's saying, I'm going to have to criticize you based on what you do, or WHO you are, not what you are. If I'm called a bitch, it's because I'm being a jerk, not because I'm a female canine.
A girl punched me once while I was driving. That wasn't right Nicole. On behalf of women I think you should apologize. I couldn't respond in kind you know.:D

No worries, Timm; I don't confuse the message with the messenger. :)

Can I just call her a c*nt instead? You NEVER punch anyone while he or she is driving! Not just a c*nt but a dumb c*nt. Good?

(Unless, of course, said person happens to be one of the people on this board, in which case you're setting me up for a catfight. Not fair! I was set up!)

Not on the board. Dated her for 6 years!!! Crazy, but also hot. The whole trophy girl thing loses some luster when she has the personality of Ike Turner.

The woodchuck story...continued....
So the little woodchuck named "Moonshine" had left the farm and somehow fought his way from the nasty eagle's talons.
Moonshine didn't like being found in a violent situation...NOT BY A RED HAIR!
So...when the eagle dropped him, he landed in the middle of Manhatten.
Dazed and confused, he sought the only safe place he'd ever known.
Underground!
He dove down the nearest hole.
After he snuck under the turnstile and barely missed some very angry feet, where did he find himself?
You guessed it...on the a train, headed uptown.
All of a sudden, an amateur preacher shows up and starts calling the little Moonshine all kinds of nasty names.
"HOLY PINNOCHIO!!", he screamed in his best helium voice.
"You need to be saved!" the Bible thumper ranted. "It's in the book!"
"NO S-IT", little Moonshine said. "I thought I was when the eagle dropped me. How come it got worse?"

To be continued....
Happy woodchuck day

Just for the record, you should have run that one by Jamie before you posted it. While I am too much of a baby to let her hit me, I cannot remember how we ended up agreeing that I should punch her in the middle of the afternoon without the help of alcohol, but I am sure that her right arm would disagree with your assessment above.

A point I make in light of the fact that my masculinity had been severely threatened when there was no bruise at any point during the weekend....and I'm sure Jamie will be glad to confirm that one!

That is hilarious. I can empathize; I dated a couple very handsome losers. Sometimes, you just want to look at something pretty for a while.

That is hysterical. I mean, that's awful. You should never hit anyone.

Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee.

i only wish i could remember the exact conversation that led to us agreeing that it was the right thing to do...me punching her arm as hard as i could.

i do think though, that she was insinuating that i was not masculine enough to leave a bruise. of course i lied and said that i was sure i could leave one.

problem is that she took me up on the dare.

Downthestretch55 02-02-2007 05:44 PM
So....the little woodchuck, Moonshine, after telling the amateur preacher to get a job, gets off the train.
He waddles down the platform and, needing some fresh air, finds a staircase that goes up.
A bit dazed by all that's happened on "his" day, he finally gets above ground.
The street sign reads 89th St. (though he can't read...never got that far with no child left behind...he was).
A car pulls up and the door opens. He doesn't know where he is, how he got there, or what to do next. It all seems like a dream sometimes.
He gets into the car. The door slams.
The next thing he knows, he's getting puched in the stomach!
"Why??", he screams in his helium voice, "Why??"
"This is not a verse in Kumbaya!"
Thump! "Take that you little rodent!"
Before little Moonshine passed out from the pain, the signs showed he was on his way to Madison Square Garden.
Little tiny golden gloves were already being taped to his tiny paws.

to be continued....
Happy woodchuck day

Just tell her you meant to do that. I had scene in acting class about that once, "He's a cop. They know how not to leave bruises." From "L&O" or something like that. Really, it's much harder to hit and NOT leave a bruise, right?

Wait a minute... is one of us supposed to be a WOODCHUCK in this scenario?

The final chapter.....

So, the car rolls up to Madison Square Garden. Moonshine, the dazed and confused little woodchuck, is hustled to the locker room to await his "bout".
He thinks to himself, "This is just too surreal. I really don't want to hurt anyone."
He's fitted with some strange looking shorts and a cape that makes him look like a fruit bat.
The time comes when he's escorted to the ring to face his opponent.
He ducks under the ropes and enters the ring.
He waves his small golden boxing gloves in the air, does a quick dance on the canvas.
Then, his adversary enters the ring.
He blinks his eyes several times as they must be creating a hallucination.
Reality sets in.
It's a very big, very angry polar bear!!! P Bear is very upset that his ice world is melting.
Every other word out of P Bear's mouth is bad (soap worthy).
Poor little Moonshine didn't cause all the "global warming". Now he has to PAY!!
The bell rings.
It rings again.
It rings yet another time.
Gosh darn it!!!!
He stands up and looks around. He doesn't see his shadow.
So, back under the blankets he goes.
It must have been a bad dream after all.
He hits the snooze button that's set for six weeks.
Better dreams ahead for the woodchuck.
Good that "groundhog's day" is finally over...or was it night?

I have to say after reading this whole thread, I have absolutely zero idea about what it is about. I'm not sure what urge kept pushing me to read more and more, yet strangely, i was sad to see it stop. Wow, dts hook me up with what your drinking.

Skippy,
Truth be told, I had not a drop to drink, nor any other mind altering substance. I got some ideas from all the divergent stuff going on in the thread and tried to turn it into something having to do with a groundhog.

We have in fact had ice ages end multiple times long before the industrial revolution so your statement that the earth has warmed and cooled many, many times before the industrial revolution is correct. The argument that how much humans are contributing to the current warming is pretty much unsolvable anad unfortunately will just be turned into another politcal issue. And I do remember well the 70s after the multiple frigid winters in the eastern half of the nation that the talk was indeed we were headed toward another ice age perhaps. Because there are occurrences of CO2 levels going up in the past, makes it really tough to determine now what really is going on.

Danzig 02-10-2007 08:01 AM
heard some blurbs from a guy who has been a climatologist in canada for decades, out of university of winnipeg. he says global warming as it's 'taught' now is incorrect, that it isn't from humans and co2 emissions....and yeah, i remember the ice age talk from 30 years ago. and now the u.n. report has come out saying whatever humans do, or don't do, that global warming will continue.

Downthestretch55 02-10-2007 04:26 PM
I couldn't possibly make this up.

Randall,
I'm with you too. I just have to stop feeding so many beans to my pet dinosaur.
It doesn't like going outside in the cold, and frankly, the house is starting to stink up bad.
I'm running out of candles.:eek:
