Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't April supposed to be Domestic Violence Month? I guess CNN and Fox News and the rest of them didn't get the memo ( Read more... )

You have no idea of how hard it is, being a feminist, living in a patriarchal culture.

I don't?!? Try being female, ha@! ;) I'm a fair amount of things that are not real popular in our culture. Try being a vegetarian in a carnivorous culture today, heh.

Yeah, but is your affection for the taste of meat equal to the life of an animal (and many resources) when there's plenty of other tastey things to eat? That's the decision we all make for ourselves.

OH, and on another note, I realize this situation was a rarity, but a comparision should be made on how this happens in Baghdad every fucking day. They have to be scared all the time becuase it's LIKELY that someone is going to go on a killing rampage in their city that day.

The American people are really out of touch. (as am I I'm sure)

Right now, I don't think it's the appropriate time to compare everytime a soldier dies. But in time, you bet your sweet, feminist ass I am going to raise awareness and make people remember that Americans are dying tragic deaths every day.

Who gives a shit about Americans? I mean, I DO. But I care about people everyone. It's bad anytime someone dies a violent death, especially general civilians.

I just wanted to clarify that I was referring to the people of Baghdad when I made the original post, NOT the soldiers. (it's not because I don't care about the soldiers, but way more people are dying besides the soldiers)
