9. All who love Martin can agree that he was RIGHT w/o condemning him for what might've been

something of a strategic decision. Even saints sometimes need to protect their jobs, if nothing else than for the sake of their dependents. And who knows, Bashir might've been sorry he spoke so succintly w/o regretting one bit the sentiment behind it.

Sounds reasonable, elleng Nov 2013 #29

Well, he pitched a righteous rant even if his language did get away from him a bit. I can't whack IrishAyes Nov 2013 #47

You'd be happy to be "the Darby"? You're sure about that? cherokeeprogressive Nov 2013 #16

what does that mean, the darby? Skip Intro Nov 2013 #21

It's "Darby's Dose", right? AZ Mike Nov 2013 #24

you should have been juried for calling her a whore. thanks for making this a hostile bettyellen Nov 2013 #53

Thank you GladRagDahl Nov 2013 #55

progressive men shouldn't need to be told this. calling her a whore and offering to shit in her bettyellen Nov 2013 #57

Agreed. The "whore" reference alone should have resulted in a hide, but the desire ... 11 Bravo Nov 2013 #58

I alerted on the jury results. It deserves a second look. bettyellen Nov 2013 #59

I was the original alerter. I may have alerted five times in all my DU years. That was grotesque. nolabear Nov 2013 #65

I hope you alerted on the jury results. this is likely something Skinner would want to know about. bettyellen Nov 2013 #67

Wow, you can do that? Shows how little I go there. nolabear Nov 2013 #71

Yep, that is the only way to "kick it upstairs" if you feel something was egregious bettyellen Nov 2013 #73

Thank you for the alert. 840high Nov 2013 #106

You are most welcome, 840high! bettyellen Nov 2013 #141

ya. you are the one that came up with the whore/shit in her mouth thing. that is all on you. seabeyond Nov 2013 #93

Actually.... AZ Mike Nov 2013 #94

you called a woman a whore. you said you want to shit in her mouth. pretty simple. seabeyond Nov 2013 #98

Btw.... AZ Mike Nov 2013 #92

Good. You like "assholes".... AZ Mike Nov 2013 #100

Unfortunately.... AZ Mike Nov 2013 #102

of course not cause where would the misogyny be? again. bigotry. against TOS rules. seabeyond Nov 2013 #104

Please explain why it's "misogyny"? AZ Mike Nov 2013 #108

calling a woman a whore. now you are going to use the bible to justify calling a woman a whore? seabeyond Nov 2013 #110

brilliant argument dude. brilliant. didnt the bible also give the thumbs up to slavery. go there. seabeyond Nov 2013 #112

Now you're spinning. AZ Mike Nov 2013 #116

no. that is exactly what you are doing. if the bible can call women whores, surely you can. seabeyond Nov 2013 #122

So, only women are whores? AZ Mike Nov 2013 #113

so now we are going to derail saying WHORE is not gender specific. wow. you are sqirming seabeyond Nov 2013 #120

I'm so glad I will never know you. You 840high Nov 2013 #111

Noted. AZ Mike Nov 2013 #121

You honestly don't think woman-hating existed in the Bible? Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #114

Of course - as was the case in all religious texts. AZ Mike Nov 2013 #118

Even if it is just a biblical reference, which it clearly is not, you're still calling her a whore. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #135

Again with the contention that only women are "whores". AZ Mike Nov 2013 #136

Whore is sourced from High German meaning adultress. In french, it's "pute" which means girl. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #138

I did not know that. AZ Mike Nov 2013 #140

Because everyone knows whore is a term against women. Seriously, everyone. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #142

Alright. AZ Mike Nov 2013 #143

It's not my bias. It's reality's bias. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #146

i guess that is one way to claim you are not misogynist. just deny the very definition of what the seabeyond Nov 2013 #144

The surest way to prevent people from knowing history is to simply deny it. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #145

not really. you were awfully slow and many posts to get there. it all is really very simple. seabeyond Nov 2013 #103

It's utterly amazing to me that you've survived this long on DU with that mentality. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #101

Thank you for your input. AZ Mike Nov 2013 #109

I hope he doesn't delete it. I think it needs to stand for all to see. Sheldon Cooper Nov 2013 #117

Wow. You called a woman a whore and volunteered to "shit in her mouth". When called on it myrna minx Nov 2013 #125

When I say.... AZ Mike Nov 2013 #127

by your logic, you get away calling dick cheney dick, so what other names can you call women? seabeyond Nov 2013 #131

By your logic.... AZ Mike Nov 2013 #134

No, that's *your* logic. myrna minx Nov 2013 #147
