Sure, and we'll place it in the Mark Saleski Wing of the site... 79285@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Aug 2004 13:43:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/11/001858.php#comment-79283 "Compassionate Conservatives?" I never claimed to be "compassionate." I'm much closer to misanthropy, TYVM. 79283@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Aug 2004 13:39:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/11/001858.php#comment-79253 can we just add an Etc. subcategory for "Juvenile Crap"? 79253@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Aug 2004 11:31:40 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/11/001858.php#comment-79250 why is this under etcetera: internet and etcetera: media? I think the etcetera column should be done away with. New categories should be created: Politics, Art, Satire, Technology (ipod, mp3, apple, etc.) and these should stand equal with books, videos, etc. And more distinction should be made about what is posted where, so threads like this are not alongside serious debates, but are clearly marked as rants/slams (in this case against the severely overweight) or even marked as false rhetoric. I think people should post whatever they want and I don't want to discourage that, but I think if things are more distinctly marked, new people coming to this site won't get the idea that it is a clone of WorldNetDaily with even more outrageous ghost writers. 79250@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Aug 2004 11:28:50 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/11/001858.php#comment-79245 ...Compassionate Conservatives? 79245@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Aug 2004 10:44:45 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/11/001858.php#comment-79243 ah, another post that makes me proud to be a blogcritic 79243@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Aug 2004 10:41:29 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/11/001858.php#comment-79242 I think there should be charges brought against whoever was feeding this pig. At over 1000 pounds he wasn't going to the store himself and nobody could take him in a regular vehicle (at least without a commercial drivers license). Somebody had to refill his supply of twinkies and they should be held responsible. 79242@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Aug 2004 10:38:24 EDT
