That's the dismissive bit.

How is it iplicit?

He is actualy the one claiming conservitve opinions are being dismissed out of hand. You dodge this point why? Because of it's tone?

Why then so agrieved by this even to the point of turning it around to a dismissal of other well crafted enlightened folk dismissals... Are you hard pressed to find supporting evidence that this is not the case? Perhaps even guilty of unleshing various degrees of said furious anger, or do you actualy belive it has no point in open debate, or do you so savor the golden oppertunity to drive home a counterpoint point without it being waived off by the "pig headed" conservitive originator.

If responce matters not and you wan't unvarnished opinion as you claim in this post meaning she should :my words: (grow a pair) and "just state an opinion" as you advise below. Should not any counter arguments be weighted the same?

They seem counter-intuitive advice wise, perhaps becuase Eric dosen't give a mad Fvck and Neph certainly does I would ask is your advice is tailored to each?

Either way as far as Me Vs. Them it is a Feeling/Belief that should not be argued I'm sure the Us (Enlightenened/world citizen/Liberal) Vs. them (neocon/hick) is a living breathing feeling/belief of a great majority who post here and feel unheard by the majority. Realize that sometimes it's a struggle for us thinking non-backwoods hicks on the otherside to not dissmiss unfounded opinions or inside jokes as clasic moonbat fare. Even when you find them chuckleworthy they are all not worthy of a hauty chinstroking "interesting"

I thought you didn't enjoy preaching to the quire and this post struck me off hand as a blatant STFU disenter thread. When you are the fishbowl gardian it is something to check against. Especialy when complaining about the larger pond being chalk full with slow swimmers that disagree are stupid and need to listen to reason.

Bah, I've already given this too much effort. Go change your pants.

Bah, me too. Fvcking hippies give me a headache (although I listen to worse on the inter-office mail-server)

Heh. You should see the sign at the front door of my house.

Here's an article on Duty Free stores that was in yesterday's Chronicle.

I'm amused by the instances of requiring people that do bring liquids on to taste them first.

As a recent piece at Slate said few of the potential chemicals for such bombs are immediately fatal and it is hard to believe that such a terrorist would have a problem taking a couple sips of slow-acting poisons. They are, after all, planning to die within the next few hours anyway.

Good point. Though I wonder if the security folks are watching to see people's reactions to the taste. I would assume the chemicals are quite unpleasant and would likely induce a grimace upon consumption.
