While I personally don't recommend messing with RT, Dixon, or David, you just discovered the danger of offending teachers, which my very good friend Debbie happens to be.<br /><br />Despite eMails floating around, I'm not aware of sharia law anywhere in the Americas, let alone North America. Your comment illustrates the real threat to the US is how we treat one another.<br /><br />You also appear to confuse liberal with civil libertarian. By implication, your note also insults conservatives. <br /><br />So, when we say "Welcome, please feel free to comment," we invite you to converse or even challenge us civilly without invective and preferably sober.<br /><br />Thank you for writing us.<br /><br />And thank you Debbie and Herschel for defending language, common sense, and us.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-82878624834197750432012-03-05T21:40:20.824-05:002012-03-05T21:40:20.824-05:00Isn't it interesting--and revealing--that mess...Isn't it interesting--and revealing--that messages such as these are always posted by "anonymous".

I must ask myself why you think having discussions about books denotes ignorance of what is going on in this world. I know of at least one person on this site who is at least as well traveled as you and probably better. While terrorism dogs our daily lives it doesn't have to be the only thing our mind focuses on.<br /><br />I don't care if you are 70 years of age, grow up. I hear ghetto kids all day long use the "fuck" word;at last count the record is 227 times by fourth period, so before you address people , come in with a vocabulary and some arguments worthy of the site. Otherwise....read a book.<br /><br />DebDebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-31467898145841371462012-03-05T16:52:47.072-05:002012-03-05T16:52:47.072-05:00are you fucking stupid? we're fighting a war a...are you fucking stupid? we're fighting a war against terrorists and shaira law and your worried about fucking books? no wonder we're losing you stupid liberalsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-18588567864599276742012-03-04T21:12:55.914-05:002012-03-04T21:12:55.914-05:00I don't want anything or anyone messing with t...I don't want anything or anyone messing with the images of various characters I have in my mind's eye.<br /><br />PS Louis, I think Tess has the look of Drew Barrymore about her.A Broad Abroadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-41214916820284211962012-03-04T17:37:52.013-05:002012-03-04T17:37:52.013-05:00(laughing) anon, I feel so sheltered: Men are Dogs...(laughing) anon, I feel so sheltered: <i>Men are Dogs and the Women Who Love Them</i>.

Years ago, while I was working down in Panama, the powers that be in Special Warfare Command decided to rearrange the barracks building back at Bragg. Consequently, two guys were sent into my room to box up all my possessions and move them to a room on a different floor. I had two flags on the wall: AZ state flag, and the flag of Lebanon. I returned state-side to discover they had been listed as “1 Battle Flag, North Viet Nam” (followed by a description of AZ state flag.) I guess those two guys figured the sunrise stripes on the top-half were a version of the “rising sun” Japanese battle flag from WWII, so they invented a new idea: An NVA “Battle Flag”! LOL They listed the Lebanese national flag as: “1 Flag, State of California,” so I guess they couldn’t tell the difference between a bear and a Cyprus tree either! I laughed for days!<br /><br />I really liked this article. Is it just me? Or does the sketch of Keith Talent from London Fields look a lot like Johnny Carson? And, I swear my wife’s got a DVD of Jane Eyre in which the actor who portrays Edward Rochester looks nearly identical to the posted character sketch! Makes me wonder if the sketch artist saw that movie and cheated a little. lolDixon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220791609338404147noreply@blogger.com
