yeah. you like a martini. you're not 'people'

i think it's the fault of the bars and bartenders for giving a drink that is made of different ingredients the same name because it comes in the same kind of glass.

if it is made of apple liquor, vodka and vermouth....and it comes in a tumbler, what do you call it? apple martinis are only called that because of the glass.

Don Imus' current allotment of 15 minutes has *nothing* to do with Free Speech or inhibitions of Free Speech.

Agreed.

Almost any use of the label "Political Correctness" is just another attempt to get away with bad manners by ridiculing politeness and consideration.

Everyone is at least a little bit racist and sexist.

Our culture ought to be in the process of reassuring men that they don't have to act like they stepped out of a beer commercial.

English spelling is in need of simplification.

Anyone who argues that we must preserve existing spellings in English so we can see the history of words is talking bunk because they cannot explain why basic spelling history is never taught in the classroom.

Everyone should eat meat no more than five times a week. The resources used to make the protein for one meat meal can also be used to make the protein for twelve vegetarian meals.

Not enough is being done to promote vegetarian cuisine.

Maggots, leeches and intestinal worms will play a bigger role in medicine in the future.

Steam power is a viable propulsion technology for vehicles. Governments don't like steam-powered vehicles because steam power is not particular about its energy source and therefore steam-powered vehicles can run on any combustible material that is put in the tank. This makes it harder to tax them.

Who's going to eat 12 vego meals just to get the same benefit they get from 1 meat meal?
