Since when is indoctrination okay as long as it's done to a child? What other blatant violations of human rights are okay when done to a child?

I couldn't agree with you more about how those without perfect bodies are fat shamed into not taking part in life. It's funny how supposedly supporting a healthy lifestyle (which includes eating disorders, hardly healthy) keeps a person from doing the activities which actually keep them healthy.

Since when were people just on display for others? "Who wants to see that"? It's not there for you to look at, it's there for the comfort of someone else. A foreign concept, I'm sure.

I really, really love this post. You should submit this one to the next carnival, too. ;)

Sorry though, I hadn't realized you had submitted one. Which is odd. Maybe they take a few days to go through the system or something? Sure didn't take long for the spam to appear though. ;)

Posts like these are a perfect example of why sitting around worshipping Marx and Lenin and repeating their quotes does us little good. If theory is of any value, it has to come from us, not them.

Somewhat shocking. I knew Canada had serious issues, though I consider it a relatively nice country, especially when compared to the US, but damn...

So true about how voting for Obama is equated with not being racist, and in my case, saying I did not vote for Obama (I'm a Nader girl, with reservations about even him, though I'll admit Obama's nice for a politician) immediately brands me as racist (and assumes I voted for McCain).

Anyways, Renee, we'd really, really, really love you to submit something to our first Red Carnival --

Interesting analogy, though funny how it's overthought by everyone. It's just an analogy!

Anyways, db0, Doug's Global Communist site is up and is doing great, and we're going to be starting a blog carnival--I'm doing the first one, since no one else seemed interested. Would really love for you to submit something, even if it's an old post.

Jealous, aren't you? ;)

From his response (which he sent to me for some reason...) sounds like he is a conspiracy theorist. Lawl.

You know, you're right, and I've never thought of it that way. Tolerance implies someone else being gay harms or should bother anyone else.

Doesn't work for me either.
