About time you did something to increase the intellectual tone of the thread.

Only the truly uninformed still thinks there is any real difference between the two any longer.

My OB/GYN could prove you wrong.
Hows that? Did it go over your head? I have trained so many so quickly in a few short hours. I can see this is going to be my own personal seal ring.

Fuck! It’s too late folks. He has already reproduced.
Well, we can always hope that this relationship was by adoption, marriage or the milkman. Or that his partner’s genetic contributions won out.
ETA: Or she/hers, apparently. It is always surprising when I hear aggressive stupidity from a woman. Purportedly.

You know, I think it actually thinks that it’s clever and funny, and that it’s winning some sort of argument here.

Ok one last one. It isn’t about winning an argument. It is about how easily control is relinquished to someone who just joined a couple hours ago. You kids are the easiest I have ever seen. Thanks, its been fun getting you all worked up for my own personal entertainment.

**Citizen5** (wasn’t that one of the protestors who gets swept up into the big dump truck in _Soylent Green_?) also has a thread going about “Washington hegemons” who are picking on China, which is not exactly a typical conservative stance.
So I’ll vote for him as an all-purpose loon.
And I don’t even like Nancy Pelosi.

I hate to bring some reasoned opinion to this little cesspool of a thread, but Nancy Pelosi, who is one of the most powerful women in congress, has been successfully representing her liberal district for many years and is probably going to continue to do so as long as she wants to. People really like her here. She’s effective at representing liberal interests. That’s why we like her, because we too are, you know, liberal. That’s the way the representative democracy cookie crumbles, folks.

No, no, no. Once an enlightened conservative shows you the error of your ways, you’ll wake up (along with the other sheeple) and realize that you’ve been wrong, lo these many years!!

I did not know this. Dang, all these years I thought it was the other way around. Not, I admit, because of overwhelming evidence.

The thing is, even if **Citizen5** does get banned, they will wear it as a badge of honor because they’ve been suppressed by people who can’t handle the truth. That’s how these types of people think.

Actual answer to the OP: She’s from San Francisco. The same voting population that gave us Dianne Feinstein, Jerry “Medfly” Brown and Willie Brown.
