  Re: I think I'm going to puke....
 
(...) In general. Both the conventional Right and conventional Left (in the US anyway) want to restrict choices... I think you're right, the right may be a bit more nervous about gender bending but that's small potatoes really. The quote I cited to (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: I think I'm going to puke....
 
(...) With respect to a cultural shift towards unmanliness, or in general? I mean, I haven't actually seen evidence that the Left cares one way or another in regards to the decline of masculinity, but I have seen a tendancy on the Right of general (...)

(...) Guys, guys. I think John is just sickened by that terrible outfit: (URL) model for Davidelfin> This is purely a "he's wearing what?" situation not a "he's afirming his choice to what?" situation. ~Kevoh tongue -> cheek (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: I think I'm going to puke....
 
(...) Would that one of the Right or Left actually DID want to allow people choice. Neither conventional end of the conventional spectrum acts like it does want that. (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: I think I'm going to puke....
 
(...) There's a lot of babble, gafla, marketspeak, posery etc, in there but is this the part you want to go to war with?? (...) If so color me scared. THAT's actually a valid notion. (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: I think I'm going to puke....
 
(...) So, what's that got to do with the Left per se? I mean, as far as I can tell, the only difference is that the Left would want to allow such a shift, whereas the Right would want to disallow it. I don't think the Left is actually *encouraging* (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: I think I'm going to puke....
 
(...) Yeah ok whatever. That is bad fashion yaya-crappola. And I really doubt this stuff has any political value to it whatever, so I seriously dislike you categorizing the 'Left' as supporting this stuff. I could point to extreme far rightists who (...)

Hello! (...) I say "eta" (That's a terror organization in the Spanish Basque region.) or E-T-A (meaning "estimated time of arrival"), R-S-V-P (what the heck is it?) and U-S-A.

  Re: Supreme Court Rules Agains State Rights
 
(...) Reason this month had an interesting series of articles about the Supremes. Stuff analysing their work, and asking people to predect who MIGHT be nominated and who the person asked liked, as well as favorite past justices... fascinating stuff. (...)

  Re: Supreme Court Rules Agains State Rights
 
(...) Well, we already knew that, didn't we? Despite his putative support of states' rights, he's never missed the chance to curtail them. Man oh man is this a stupid ruling. Shame on the SCOTUS. Dave! (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: what is ALE?
 
(...) Huh-- I almost never say "fan of Lego" or "AFOL" to people who aren't in the hobby, because it just doesn't give them a good frame of reference. I think I've always said "Lego Hobbyist" because that's what people understand. Usually "fan" is (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
