Hey, Andrew, you caught one ;0)

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

Serious question.
Would you still be implicitly condoning this if it was about queers or niggers?

To whom was this question directed . . . .
. . and what condoning does it refer to - it seems out of context.

Yeah, and Bio's a strong fighter when she has time.
I once set a hook for Slugbug and she bit right on it but then dropped out and I don't blame her. She has a lot of concerns and inane debates on Internet forums are strictly a leisure time entertainment.
A single woman with kids today has a harder row to hoe than my mother did back when, though it wasn't any picnic then either.

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street...
I love that song. Must have some kernel of truth to it or it wouldn't have been a hit.

Really. Hit songs have lyrics that always ring true?
Hmmm...
He wear no shoeshine He got toejam football He got monkey finger He shoot Coca-Cola
Or:
Here she comes now, say, Mony, Mony. Shoot 'em down, turn around, come on, Mony. Hey, she give me love and I feel all right now. You gotta toss and turn in the middle of the night...
So obviously pretty women walk down the streets with gorillas. It has to be true because the popular song said it was. A stunning and logical deduction. Not.

And the LRPD sez, "You want fries with that?" :-D
"The notion of limited government and frugal government has been shattered by this administration, which cares far less about limited government than it does in building conservative government - a government with huge payoffs to corporate America," Allan Lichtman, a presidential historian at American University in Washington.

Piker!
A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace, And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace, And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar, Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour. And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one. A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun, And take away the plain in which we move, And choose the course you're running. If you want non-sequitirs, you can do no better than Yes. (10 pts for identifying the song -- you've already gotten a great hint...)

Not to forget - '..you can feel his disease'
Much has gone downhill since the Fab Four did a mind meld on zzz Ike-Murica zzz (Then the dB level was raised to cover general artlessness; didn't work, that.)
Cruising for Burgers in Daddy's new car.. (Uncle Meat, IIRC) Now Fab Four AND Zappa be gone. But we'll always have Paris.
