[Fester Chugabrew]

A professor sets up a class designed to ridicule the beliefs of others, and somehow certain folks are "appalled" that unpleasant consequences ensue. I don't buy their sanctimonious, drama queen indignation.

[F.J. Mitchell]

"You sir, need help."

I can't argue with that. Could you come over and rake my leaves sometime?

[F.J. Mitchell]

Sick is as sick does.

[JCEccles]

Your tuning pegs are wound waaaay too tight, CarolinaGuitarman.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Sick is as sick does."

That doesn't help your case any.

[Oztrich Boy]

Methinks he doth protest too much.

On Andrew Jaspan, editor of the Australian newspaper The Age, who was offended by Douglas Wood, an Australian who was kidnapped and held hostage in Iraq, and then referred to his captors as "a**holes" after he was rescued:

"The Age’s editor didn’t care for this brusque mean-spirited judgmentalism. As Mr. Jaspan told Australia’s ABC network, 'I was, I have to say, shocked by Douglas Wood’s use of the a**hole word, if I can put it like that, which I just thought was coarse and very ill-thought-through and I think demeans the man and is one of the reasons why people are slightly skeptical of his motives and everything else. The issue really is largely, speaking as I understand it, he was treated well there. He says he was fed every day, and as such to turn around and use that kind of language I think is just insensitive.'

And heaven forbid we’re insensitive about “insurgents.” True, a blindfolded Mr. Wood had to listen to his captors murder two of his colleagues a few inches away, but how crude and boorish would one have to be to hold that against one’s hosts? The liberation of Douglas Wood is surely a first: He didn’t get Stockholm Syndrome, but everyone back home did. What’s with this guy, anyway? They fed him every day and if they’d ever got around to sawing his head off they’d have got out the nice sharp scimitar, not the old rusty thing they used for Nick Berg. Like, why’s he so totally insensitive? Is he a Bush supporter or something?"[2] - Mark Steyn

"Your tuning pegs are wound waaaay too tight, CarolinaGuitarman."

And you're complicit in the defense of violence by your silence in this matter (assuming you even know what we are talking about; a big assumption).

[F.J. Mitchell]

Whatever my case is, it's curable. Stupidity is a lifetime condition that only grows worse with age.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Whatever my case is, it's curable. Stupidity is a lifetime condition that only grows worse with age."

In which case, your doubly damned.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Well I'll be damned.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Well I'll be damned."

No doubt.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Hate to be picky but Your in this instance should be You're.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Hate to be picky but Your in this instance should be You're."

Hate to be picky but you are an apologist for terrorists.

[Boazo]

[Senator Bedfellow]

That's nice. Does mom know you're on her computer again?

[F.J. Mitchell]

The domestically grown terrorists, kill babies faster than they can be conceived. You are the apologist for those terrorists.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"The domestically grown terrorists, kill babies faster than they can be conceived. You are the apologist for those terrorists."

Do you support the actions of Eric Rudolph?

[Petronski]

What are you? Ten years old?

[F.J. Mitchell]

Do you support the actions of the slugs who have become billionaires, butchering babies????
