There is this wonderfully misguided notion that the world can be made a safe place...

Using a young readers' novel called "The Misfits" as its centerpiece...

John Huston turned that book into a great film over 40 years ago. I remember the scene where Clark Gable made Montgomery Clift break into tears by calling him a "faggot"...

Hm-m-m-m. Wait a minute. Montgomery Clift was gay, wasn't he?

Just read any Mark Morford thread, and you'll find a plethora of euphmenisms in the keywords.

Do I have to read his article in the process?

Oh, she was extolling how nice it was we could be friends even with our differences (I had mentioned I would be working for the Republicans this year - and maybe even getting paid something.) I had responded I had thought our values were closer than I guessed they were with her mention of our "differences." She doesn't want to discuss "politics" calling it "counter productive"....I NOW believe discussing politics is the MOST productive thing I can do with friends....it helps me figure out people's values....quickly....LOL...."tolerance?" I told her I don't much tolerate thugs, tyrants, traitors and terrorists AND have not interest in "unity" with them either.....haven't heard back from her yet. As I age, I find my "friends" list is changing....

this is stupid

When I was in school, when someone called you a name you called them one back. This sometimes evolved into a fist fight. It was called being a kid. What ever happend to letting kids be kids.

Hey!!! You left out "winner" and "loser"... Can't have anyone feeling superior or inferior now, can we? Warm-fuzzies all around!

"No name calling" week. SHEESH! In my day, just wearing the wrong clothes to school could get the crap beat out of you! Having someone make the statement that you wore the wrong clothes outside of school could get the crap beat out of you! And I'm not talking about whether or not you were wearing Tommy, Nike, South Pole, etc... I'm talking about penny loafers, button-downs, and khakis versus boots (or sneakers), jeans, and the latest concert T-shirt. My solution was jeans and a button-down with the sleeves rolled up: "hoods" left me alone, and who cared what the "preps" thought? Been going my own way and prospering ever since.

Regards,
Raven6

PS: I called everybody that deserved it some sort of name at one time or another, and if they didn't like it, I gave them the old bird. If they wanted to escalate it, I obliged. :-)
