Ruth is neither racist or race-baiter and whatever your disagreements with her, she does not deserve to be characterized this way. The fact that you are still using this so long after the supposed incident expresses the qualities of an unfair grudge IMO. Repeating it is nasty and lowers the discourse here. Dropping in that term in a post that she was not even a part of is unfair. I thought it was unfair at the time in the context of the discussion, but at least then it had a context and was your POV in that context. Continuing this charge is absurd and obviously false from all that she has posted here. Pretty funny too, since I believe Our Dear Ruth is multi-racial.

I'm sure if I was a woman I would be the first to call people on sexist language for its own sake, not because it has been linked to violence. In my neighborhood it is violence that is linked with violence. In fact I'll join you by condemning two of the most sexist people in history, the Holy Tradition's own Shankara, and the woman- phobic Guru Dev. The Crest Jewel of Discrimination is one of the most sexist scriptures on the planet. A wise man views women as corpses, bags of urine and feces. Shankara What a saint! And Guru Dev's refusal to be in the same room with any women sent a terrible message to women and men who looked at him as a spiritual leader. I would think any woman who is serious about women's issues would want to join me in condemning these two men. Bingo. That's the real issue, the one that the pseudo- feminists on this forum are skirting. It's misogynist to call a person who is acting like a cunt a cunt (see the following post for a definition of that word) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/194179 but it's just FINE to suggest that one should think of women as corpses to protect one's fragile male sensibilities. I guess the Fairfield Life Femi-nazis never heard the saying 'when you point a finger at someone, there's three fingers pointing back at you'. They seem most likely to be women without current male relationships-- at least one has never had a long-term male relationship. And so they come across as men haters, misandrists, but it seems to largely stem from sexual frustration and personalities not suited to balanced male relationships. In the absence of a balanced relationship and something to fill the hole in their lives, they resort to projection. It seems to me the term misogynist is used in too loose a sense by our FFL Feminazis. Instead of being about men who hate women--truly a rare breed--it's more about 'things men say that we don't like and feel threatened by'. And since they have no balanced relationship in their own life, the resort to their own jilted center with which to see the world.

You just compounded your error by calling the women here a sexist name. In fact, there aren't any Femi-nazis on this forum - you lied, Vaj, and you made yourself look like a fool. Why are you so defensive? All you have to do is stop with name calling and sexist language. What's so difficult with that? Maybe you should start apologizing instead of posting personal attacks against women. It's just an appropriate and humorous adjective for describing extreme and/or unbalanced feminists Willy. I'm sure you'll get over it. I'm a life-long feminist and it didn't bother me.

I thought it was possible to have a sane conversation with you, but after reading this crap,I doubt it. Where do you get off imagining anything about me or anyone else who posts here? You're sounding like Barry, and I've had my fill of his BS as well. You raised a phony generalization about women haters in order to attack me personally and you did so while knowing nothing about who I love or who loves me, or what I have shared in a lifetime or loving relationships or with children, family and friends. Isn't it really stupid to make shit up about people based on a stereotype? Don't you know this is the fuel of racism, and sexism? As I have said, I don't usually draw first blood but I will defend myself against man or woman whenever I see fit. Fair warning: If you want to make shit up about me and align yourself with Barry the bully, expect return fire. For one, why did you think this post (responding to Barry) refers to you? And if it does, why would you think you might be perceived as an imbalanced or militant feminist and possibly misandrous? Is there anything in the various conversations that another might have perceived in that way? Surely you at least understand that feminism, like all things human, possesses it's own dark side?

A death threat is a very different kind of communication than wishing someone was dead and saying so. I was originally concerned that such a threat had been made which is why I asked about it. If such a treat had been made Uh, oh, Curtis, there you go again, doggonnit. Will you please get out of this Halloween mode? Things are scary enough around here as it is.

It's only lately that it's been merchandized to kids and their parents. Until only a few years ago, Halloween meant only its name -- Hallow 'een, or All Hallows Eve. It's the next day. All Saints Day, that is celebrated in France and in Spain. It's a national holiday/fiesta, and people tend to visit cemetaries to honor the dead. Then eat. Somehow in Spain all fiestas seem to lead up to eating. And for some reason I don't fully understand, the streets are suddenly full of roasted chestnut vendors. Here's what I found about it on a website: Great info, but this whole post really sounds like a death treat, Barry... Sal

It's only lately that it's been merchandized to kids and their parents. It certainly has become highly commercialized in the US with rows devoted to Halloween stuff in stores. Now some of those rows are already filled with Christmas stuff. Shop often shop early I guess. I think this year's Christmas is going to be Bushmas which is the name we should give at I don't think people will have that much to spend. In fact I've decided my annual holiday video will be about celebrating Bushmas and the upcoming Bush Great Depression.

He saw that there was a car in the driveway he didn't recognize so he sneaked into the house. He heard moans and figured out what was happening. The next thing happening is the guest wakes up with his gonads locked in a vice with the handle pulled out of it in the garage.
