A QUICKIE --- the horror, the horror

Tired Ass:
Creepy Loner: Godwit, you don't even have anything up
it and you're making my ass tired


It's a Word War:
Godwit935: Language is stolen these days.
Godwit935: The Republicans are really good at stealing language.
Godwit935: As are the homosexuals.
Brianna CD123: how is it stolen?
Godwit935: Well, Brianna, its meaning is taken over through
publicity.
Brianna CD123: so words are used to stand for something that
you disagree with? is that what that means?
Godwit935: Brianna, what I mean is, the conventional meaning
of words is wrenched away by special interests.
Brianna CD123: can you give me an example?
Godwit935: Look at how the Republicans call any discussion
of leaving Iraq surrender.
Brianna CD123: well...that is just propaganda Republicans
couch the idea of leaving Iraq. It is termed as "surrender."
Brianna CD123: that's not theft of language
Brianna CD123: no...words are not objects that can be stolen
Godwit935: They can be stolen back, that's true.
Godwit935: Sure they are, Brianna.
Brianna CD123: "surrender" can be used in many contexts
Brianna CD123: that is not a good example
Godwit935: Well, so is the co-option of the word, gay, Brianna.
Godwit935: Sure it is theft, Brianna.
Glomawr: see Brianna, its like writtin somethin on the
bathroom wall
Glomawr: then somebody steals it and writes it on some other
bathroom wall
Glomawr: that is a misdemeanor


"hey do we have to know this for the test":
CordialCactus: brianna.. i love your simple instructions on
your profile.. but like exams where the answers are given
before the test, some people will always fail it


Word War II:

Godwit935: Brianna, homosexuals sure did steal the meaning of
the word, gay.
Brianna CD123: i think "gay" was a derogatory term forced upon
homosexuals by homophobes
Godwit935: These days, if you notice, the homosexuals are turning
the phrase "same-sex marriage" into "same-gender marriage."
Brianna CD123: so i dont think homosexuals stole the word
BinxB91: oh my gosh!!!! Point, Brianna
Godwit935: That is nonsense, Brianna.
CordialCactus: brianna, i wonder
Glomawr: Binx is keepin score
Brianna CD123: you need to convince me of word theft still
Godwit935: "Same-sex" now is being promoted by the homosexuals
as "same-gender."
Q4Omega: when i want to say "gay" to describe a mood i say "homosexual"
Brianna CD123: god - but if i say i surrender when someone is tickling
me does that mean "i'm leaving iraq?"


Reflections on Tickling:
Glomawr: I used to tickle my children
Glomawr: but they grew up and moved away


Interjection:
Creepy Loner: Can't you just say that you're straight, Godwit
--- as opposed to "normal?"


Catching on to Godwit:
Brianna CD123: you are afraid of being thought of as a homosexual
Brianna CD123: is that correct?

Fear of Phrase:
Q4Omega: i'm afraid of being thought of as a homosexual because
of a word i used when it should be because i "chose" to walk out
of the closet, provided that i'm in a closet


She meant "facts", but this way was better:
Brianna CD123: history is a selection of cats from an infinite pool
of facts, many of which are ignored...with the selected facts the
historian hypothesizes where to insert it in a chain of events to
explain something


Delayed Nastiness Emerges:

Godwit935: Your argument is the result of an illiberal
education, Brianna.
Brianna CD123: its by carl dalhous, and its called "foundations of
music history"
Godwit935: Brianna, keep on reading.
Brianna CD123: god - you are now using ad hominem tactics...
that is, you are attacking me personally rather than debating
Brianna CD123: this is a fallacy
Creepy Loner: Found it.
Glomawr: kinda like Bill O'Reilly does?


Illiberal Education Techniques:
Tallthinjones: when i was a janitor the principal liked to
hide a penny in a corner of the room as he observed teachers



The Movie in PatientOnion's Brain:

PatientOnion3: meets texas chainsaw massacre

Brianna CD123: i love bread


...:
BinxB91: Horse, how come you never had kids?
WarHorseThor: define had binx


Tree Hugger:
Brianna CD123: some people like to bring up hitler as "evil"
Brianna CD123: but take the perspective of a tree...which is
more "evil" - hitler or a lumberjack?


Shelf Standards:
Brianna CD123: i simply made a point...i dont expect everyone
to agree
PatientOnion3: no one agrees, you have to leave


The Dead Guy on the Stick:

PatientOnion3: jews made up that dead guy on a stick myth,
that zombie jesus christ
PatientOnion3: and you fell for it, hook line and sinker
PatientOnion3: you guys worship somebody right out of night
of the living dead
PatientOnion3: it was just a jewish plot to weaken you

B00KGASM: speaking of ranks, i'm reading an affecting new york
review on a book about slaves who fought in the civil war.
Billw0314: who wrote it bookie?
B00KGASM: the title of the book is "the slave's war: the civil
war in the words of former slaves" by andrew ward.
Billw0314: hmmm....I thought it might've been James Macpherson
....he wrote The Negro's Civil War
B00KGASM: here's a quotation ward included in his book:
"boys (slaves) used to crawl under the house and lie on the
ground to hear master read the newspaper to missus when they
first began to talk about the war."
Billw0314: there's a novelistic sort of detail
B00KGASM: it reminds me of the determination of frederick douglas
and gustavus vassa.
Jam7604801: they also stood around in post offices listen to the
whites read letter to one another
B00KGASM: interesting, jam.
Billw0314: Mcpherson's little book on Lincoln was quite good, book
B00KGASM: there's another great little book, jam, bill, about the
civil war called "the civil war through their eyes" which is a long
photo essay about the civil war.
B00KGASM: jam. another one of ward's quotes testified to the
slaveholders fear of newspapers (being distributed to slaves)
outweighting their fear of snakes!

[By my late teens, I was tall and blond and tan from
swimming, running, and riding my bike. I was in good
enough shape to wear a bikini without flinching. Even
though my grades were all A's and B's, I was an insecure
mess. when I think back to that period, I see myself as
kind of the flip side to the Girl from Impanema. Because
though I was getting my share of attention from the opposite
sex, I remember a lot of people saying, "Jesus Christ, Dawn!
Are you nuts?" than going "Aaaaah"]
