Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
So, I'm having a pretty bad day. It started last night, after I got home from work. I can't really talk about it, but it's pretty bad, and I'm very sad and upset today. I have to go to work down in Costa Mesa, and I don't really want to go.
Sean, I spent most of yesterday in hysterical sobbing meltdown mode, so for whatever they're worth {{{{{{{here are some brackets}}}}}}}
Gris, I think Steph is probably right about its expectedness, but you're also right to be disappointed and to discuss it with them. There's an awful lot of "us-vs-them" in many student populations, and politeness is not always ahold of the reins -- especially in group situations.
Apparently "ahold" is not a word, but I've decided that in this situation it should be.
people boo Bush these days, and booing, by its very nature, is the same type of completely non-empathic, mob-mentality disregard for feelings. I could never boo anybody, no matter how much I dislike them, their decisions, their policies, their actions. I could boo a statement, at a speech for example. But not the person in general.
Is there no such thing as a bad person? Giving orders that result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands? Personally approving torture (as Bush has just admitted in the past four or five days)? Given that he will never suffer any legal penalty, or financial penalty, and most likely will never even have to talk to one of his victims, it seems to me that subjecting him to a social sanction makes sense.
Giving orders that result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands?
I would *totally* boo Pol Pot.
5 years. I swear it doesn't seem like I've been part of this community that long, until someone posts something like that.
sj is me.
I would totally stone Pol Pot.
Thanks, Jess. And everyone.
I would totally stone Pol Pot.
Psst...Ginger is stoned on pot.
Pass it on.
Ginger loves The Flintstones. Pass it on.
All the brackets I've got to Sean. {{{{{}}}}} Hugs, and clarity, and calm and deep breaths and knowing your friends all over the world are thinking good thoughts for you.
Ginger loves to make arrowheads by chipping flint stone. Pass it on.
