  • Re: Amphitheater: July 20-26

    [quote user="Joe Merola"]David, Where is that great sculpture? Joe [/quote]I think you're asking the other David, but the answer is: Lucerna Palace near Wenceslas Square in Prague, Czech Republic. Having answered the question, I hereby exercise my option to strike the poor beast one more...

    [quote user="Joe Merola"]Great information, Dave, I didn't know that about Sessions.[/quote]The attacks on Judge Sotomayor are good old fashioned Washington politics, nothing more, and anyone who can't see that has blinders on. P.S. Note: I've made three allusions to horses and...

    [quote user="Joe Merola"]To continue some of the dialog re Sotomayor, I highly recommend that you read the article in today's RT on the opinion page called "I am White Man.".[/quote] If I'm "beating a dead horse" (gosh, I hate that saying, so why do I keep using...

    [quote user="Marvin Foster"]Thanks for saving me from Ricky's wrath!!! Perhaps my words were harsh, but I believe when her words are taken along with her ruling in the New Haven firefighters case (which was revesed by the Supreme Court on which she wishes to serve), there is real cause...

  • Re: Amphitheater: July 20-26

    [quote user="Ricky"]Honestly, is one or two innocuous words sufficient for such condemnation? Is not a pattern of words and actions a more sensible basis for such a harsh judgment?[/quote] I can relate to this as a white male who occasionally has been accused of racism and sexism for offhand...

    [quote user="Marvin Foster"]Joe, I read this piece and never did really figure out if he was being serious or sarcastic. As someone who strongly opposes Sotomayor, although not everything he said in the article, I hope he was attempting to be serious. I guess we can really get off track here...

    [quote user="Clonnie Yearout"]If you say I made that statement I'm willing to take your word for it, but I would have meant it facetiously or perhaps as hyperbole to provoke a reaction because I know that white males as a group (even conservative ones) aren't at any appreciable disadvantage...

  • Re: Beach read: July 13-19

    [quote user="Joe Merola"]First no individual is without bias and to pretend that a judge or any official be totally without empathy or whatever one wants to call it is plain disingenuous. I was a "first generation" college attendee which has shaped me in a lot of different ways. If...

  • Re: Beach read: July 13-19

    [quote user="Clonnie Yearout"][quote user="Dave Hanson"]Is there a double standard? Probably yes, and I think it is understandable, natural, and legitimate. White males have been the "top dogs" for most of the past two centuries ... It's "makin' up for lost...
