Fish Violence - Frist Fish, then...... It was actually the fishing of early Christians that resulted in a cultivation of a taste for blood and violence resulting in wholesale slaughter of humans during what is curiously referred to as the "Crusades."

C'Mon Foraloysius -- College students have stewed gold fish in stomach acid since Jesus was in a fraternity. People have used hooks, nets, dynamite, whatever on fish since before breast augmentation. Live fish are iced and left to gasp. I suspect you don't go on such a foul mouthed rant about...

Boring. Okay, I finally watched the video. I found it boring. So, I am trying to understand what is going on here. Is it that in the case of the guy in the goofy hat and fishing rod most of the torture is underwater and not visible? Check out this video if fish torture. Frankly, I had to shut...

So, Kevin's a Censor, Too. And Kevin, do you think scatological references and reference to sex acts should be removed from this AW site? If you don't like it - don't look at it. Would you, like some people in my and slightly older generation, be in favor of burning Salinger's Catcher in the...

I love ya, Bill, but no. Not censorship. That's where we part. Y'll can click away - but don't speak of censorship. It's okay for an "angler" to torture fish but not okay for an "artist" to torture fish. And what about the bassomatic? No, not censorship - that is where I draw the line.

Fish Torture I didn't get to see the video. But I have heard (actually seen images)of people putting gangles of hooks into the water to attract fish. The hooks pierce areas inside the mouth and have barbs that prevent the fish from getting away. They are then drug by these hooks! Apparently the...

Family Photo Can you imagine getting everyone to sit for a family photo.

Cool, Whirlcool. Yeah, I think we are pretty much in tune on that. My point is that the stuff you are pointing out has nothing to do with the FOX morning after story and no relevance whatever (except for nonjournalistic spice)to the story. What is relevant to the story is your last sentence...

Butch? What does "butch" mean in this context? (not trying to pick a fight) Am truly interested in what characteristics you are describing and how they are significant/relevant/noteworth vis-a-vis "male" pilots?

"Female Pilot" FOX feed I heard, from a FOX feed (and on the website), reference to a "female pilot" - like the Berlin Airlift never happened. I don't recall Sully being referred to as a "male pilot." Too many people just don't get it.

Christianity From what I have read, I suspect that the gentleman we refer to as Jesus (Christ) would be embarrassed on good days, and freaked out the rest of the time at the messages that have been concocted in his name. Sorry, Pal, it's not your fault.

Proxibid I have been working on an estate of an eccentric collector. We had several small auctions here in Omaha, but the personal representative had stored and catalogued $100,000 worth of stuff back east. We made arrangements with an auction house in Maryland to have a Thursday evening...

Toggle - glad you didn't get hurt. I'm amazed they didn't shoot you. A former duplex neighbor of mine (living with his parents) got cross-wise with some thugs (presumably similar issues, he was 'obviously - smile' gay). His corpse was tossed onto the front yard during the night and discovered...

Hmmm, Toggle If your approach was necessary for self-defense - that's one thing. Did "gay bashing" mean foul harrassment or, in your instance, were you about to be beat up? Because use of the AIDS reference and the third-world country point seem a bit at odds with what the gay community might...

Back from lunch Okay, okay, I'm off the subject. Sorry, Steve.

Number of Children No, not equal. 0, 1, 2, no sweat, you know, mix it up. But if you are an energy an enviornment hog, or think your religion entitles you to build your legions with more bodies, then you need to pay for number 3. Beyond that - you're just being too selfish.

today Szechwan chicken and hot tea in the company of a bright, skirted-suited wench. Because the day was forecast to be unseasonably warm, I scanned my fedora's and was about to grab the lighter grey, but saw, next to it, my medium grey Chicago center dent. Because I had breakfast with the...

Subprime Lending You see, my understanding is that "subprime lending" became legal in Reagan's time but my recollection is that it really started happening in the mid 90's - can't remember who the president was in '95 - (probably a Bush or an Anheiser or someone). I remember because we were...

Mortgage Restrictions - Data Source Please Sudsmaster, help me here about the source of the subprime mortgage problem. You indicate "Bush & Co ... encouraged regulators to drop restrictions..." Please share whose history of the subprime you are reading? Would you admit that programs pre-dating...

Energy Savings Limit the number of children someone can have to one per person, two per couple, and permit a credit to be sold by a person who chooses not to have a child to a family that wants three. This would greatly reduce the carbon footprint and unnecessary consumption. "Fix" people...
