As one of the bozos who actually did spend a few hours doing some research for some long winded posts, I actually find this forum to be both entertaining and informative. I have something of a distrust of the media- they report stuff that sells newspapers, deodorant, or absurdly price cell phone service, whereas if somebody cares enough to take keyboard in hand and type- you're actually getting a real persons viewpoint. True- the viewpoint often may be an echo of a media head, but not always. While its rare to find someone on the opposite side of the political spectrum that can justify his/her beliefs with facts, learning about what the people who disagree with you believe in is really interesting to me. Plus, at the end of the day, it's either one country or one planet and we've got to share it with each other. Understanding where people are coming from is helpful. I've also gotten a few laughs out of the stuff that gets posted- reminds me of the line from John Carpenters movie The Thing , "You have gotta be fuckin' kidding me...." And domiguy- I've gotten more people checking out my profile for my posts than anything else....I just wish that a few of them were closer....True, the dates I've gotten from CM have been from direct e-mails, but it's nice to have something to do while hanging on the site waiting for the reply that never comes.... And perhaps deserving of its own thread (or maybe it's been asked and answered already) Does female supremacist always translate to rude, self centered bitch or is this just a function of my limited exposure and too small a sample size? Cheers to all, Sam
