– “Yes, you’re SO right – it’s your co worker who has the problem with age appropriate behaviour and idiocy not you! You wept openly at your desk that another human found some joy in their life upon the imminent release of a new movie (a movie that wasn’t ‘Oh wow, locking people up and forcing them to kill one another is just so fucking SEXAY’)? I’m no doctor, but I’d suggest getting the fuck over yourself.”
– “There’s been a lot of press since the murder of Dr George Tiller, a provider of late-term abortions to women whose babies were horrifically deformed or would not survive past birth, or young girls who had had no idea they were pregnant. Apparently this leaves only two late-term abortion providers in the USA. Needless to say, these doctors and their clinics are constantly harassed, vandalised and certainly not respected.
The doctors and their staff have to go through abuse and intimdating phone calls and hate mail every day.
My idea: . Send them a postcard to say Thank you for giving women a choice”
– “

I wondered who would be the first to pick up on that revolting remark. It’s interesting in light of this paragraph:
I wonder what her mother would think of that sentiment?
BTW, best comment (IMO) on that thread ?(who appears to have a non-functioning ‘x’ key on hir keyboard?)

While this is a good point to make, I do wish it had been made using a real name.
