I am saddened to think that you men think that certain lives are not to be cared about and are of such little value.

Look, I don't like Anne Coulter either. But you honor her politics more when you write such low-down mindless posts, devaluing her life.

And you took away from the value of Frances Lewine by using this thread to do trash-talkin'

Darn it all! I hate that!!! I don't mean to sound so darned self-righteousness.

Even if I have a point, heck...I dunno.

Tristan is right, I sure can come across self-righteous sometimes. :blush:

Carry on, Men.

I DISAGREE. FIRST IT WAS A JOKE. SECONDLY ANNE'S OPINIONS, ALTHOUGH AN EXERCISE OF HER RIGHTS, IS NARROW-MINDED AND INSULTING ON ITS OWN. In my opinion, and through the exercise of my own rights, I chose to ridicule her here... You may feel it doesn't serve the memory of Ms Lewine but the article itself accomplishes that nicely

And, now, with all pleasantries aside, you should really trryy o lighten up some

Sqeeg, the fact that your first couple sentences are typed in all upper-case...does that mean you are yelling at me???

Very few people would care if I died. Besides, why is it when someone noteworthy dies, their biography portrays as walking on water with how great they were? I smell bullshit here.

Well Pen, first of all, I am sure all of us here at the DtT would care if you died.

And as far as those who are noteworthy, I don't think that it is any different than for those who are not famous. When anyone dies, the obit, the write up, the eulogy does exactly that...shares their highlights, their good points.

There is good in everybody. Why remember the bad? Although the truth is that when some die and they are not popular, their conduct and such that made them disliked gets discussed all over again. Like when Jerry Falwell died. His opponents had a field day with his death.

OhDear

P.S. I still wanna know if and why Squeeg was yelling at me!
