glenbeck — as incoherent as the Fox dingbat of the same name. Now that “Red Rascal” stories might have a big effect on his career, he’s choking.

Are you sure that “glenbeck” isn’t writing with a Mexican/French accent?

The whole Taliban has a daughter? You better hope her parents like you.

A man made a mistake with a woman he desired. He apologized and lived to make further mistakes.
A woman made a mistake with a man she desired. She was beheaded and left with the garbage.
Obviously a woman is more important than a man since she is allowed one mistake and a man is flawed and needs more help.

Even worse though, sometimes its:
A man made a mistake with a woman he desired. She was beheaded and left with the garbage.

So, why is it that bejeweled means with jewels added, bedecked means with clothes added, but beheaded means with head removed?
Or am I just being picky?
GrimmaTheNome over 14 years ago
because ‘be’ is ‘a prefix of various uses and meanings’. In this case, its a ‘privative’.
Not very logical, but the illogic of English spelling and grammar pales into insignificance faced with the illogic and injustice of the treatment of women in many societies, so yeah, you’re just being picky.

In our society, a man makes a mistake and is thrown out of his home. The women gets the kids, the house, half the bank account. A woman makes a mistake and the man still is thrown out of his home. The women gets the kids, the house, half the bank account.

I think the founder of anothe mid-east religion said no stones. Why do we, his supposed follows still cast them?
randgrithr over 14 years ago
@RR: that’s because in our society women are expected to stay home and raise those kids instead of being given equal pay and status in the workplace.

Actually he said he wouldn’t cast the first stone if no one else did, Lew. It was more a refusal to execute a woman who surely didn’t commit adultery by herself. And an example of forgiveness for the ones who are held accountable while other walk free. Spoke to Jewish bigotry against their own tribes as well as gentiles.
But your point is apt in his call fro us to forgive our”brothers and sister” and why so many of us who say we are His act like we aren’t.
Unfortunately, there are many like him who never make the media since the media, as we’ve all noted here, have their own agenda. Plus those who do act in that way are told not to broadcast their acts as that is hypocrasy.
Oh, and if you aren’t acting like it, aren’t you also throwing stones?

Ghandi gets credited as a great guy when he walked his followers into all manner of clubbings and killings? Isn’t that what most of you blame Jesus for? :-)

RR, you are obviously missing a few news flashes unless of course you were tossed out and now need an excuse for your personal failure as a husband.

Looks to me like the boss of this company is the only one there who takes the Red Rascal at face value. But he probably didn’t get to head up a well-connected (Republican-supported) security contracting business by having a healthy b-s detector.
Believing everything you hear on Hannity is so much easier. And more profitable!

In our “more civilized” cultures, fathers still “give away” their daughters in marriage, and a good many Christian “sects” regard the wife as only slightly better than property of the husband. Many of those same groups want to replace our laws based on equality with “Christian” religious laws- the “pro-life” movement is about a lot more than just embryos and control of the uterus.

I tore my rotator cuff throwing stones.

I hope everyone saw the recent Time magazine cover picture of the young Afghan woman who had her nose and ears cut off and was left to die by her family for refusing to obey her in-laws.
She is coming to the U.S. for reconstructive surgery at a burn center. The picture makes clear she was once a pretty woman. I hope in a few years Time can put her back on the cover to contrast a culture of life, liberty, and values with a culture of death, submission, and destruction. (Remember, Submission is the name of their religion.)

Tigger is, of course, correct - I hate Glenn Beck because he speaks the truth, and I HATE hearing the truth…
SuperGriz over 14 years ago
“(Remember, Submission is the name of their religion.)”
Seems to common for many religions.

pschearer: in this country, a woman has apparently disfigured herself for religious reasons. It was an attempt to prove Christian miracles. Vancouver Voice article

Glenn Beck is a “rodeo clown” that fake cries and makes up whatever he wants to. According to him.

Making Glenn yet another TV evangelist for his religion of rightism.
