And yes, I know when someone's trying to pick a fight. With men it's usually their need to pee higher on the tree.

Such a good thing! I'm sure conservatives hate him. nt stillwaiting Jul 2014 #7

I agree it is a wonderful thing tymorial Jul 2014 #10

Of course that's true. stillwaiting Jul 2014 #12

You are right, not all conservatives are equal. Some suck more than others. Enthusiast Jul 2014 #70

That is good to hear. Chemisse Jul 2014 #72

I think it has a lot to do with region and religion tymorial Jul 2014 #73

That makes sense. Chemisse Jul 2014 #74

Read the comments for an illustration of conservative hate. Enthusiast Jul 2014 #64

I really shouldn't have, but I did. stillwaiting Jul 2014 #68

I know. Enthusiast Jul 2014 #71

That should be "doing for" jmowreader Jul 2014 #8

Incredibly bad writing, yes. JackRiddler Jul 2014 #17

"Doing for" doesn't automagically mean it will be good for "them". Someone just thinks jtuck004 Jul 2014 #27

they still need housing. nt xchrom Jul 2014 #38

Oh, come on. Copy editing is just soooo 20th century. Only eggheads worry about that stuff anymore. RufusTFirefly Jul 2014 #42

Words are the most powerful weapons on earth and should be used with care and respect. IrishAyes Jul 2014 #80

Sorry. I didn't think the sarcasm tag was necessary. Guess I was mistaken. RufusTFirefly Jul 2014 #81

When it reflects such a widely held belief on a critical cultural problem, IrishAyes Jul 2014 #83

Turns out I actually DID use the sarcasm tag. Take a chill pill. RufusTFirefly Jul 2014 #84

It dates back farther than the Wobblies. IrishAyes Jul 2014 #85

I believe you mean "further" not "farther." RufusTFirefly Jul 2014 #86

Where are the neighbors? jtuck004 Jul 2014 #29

Maybe these few houses will inspire others to help out too. JDPriestly Jul 2014 #35

they still need housing...since you are a critic ... what do you suggest? xchrom Jul 2014 #36

How about a jobs program so they can buy their own homes? How about some infrastructure jtuck004 Jul 2014 #39

Building housing is infrastructure. xchrom Jul 2014 #40

Being able to afford a house means they can build or buy one. Not wait for the benevolence jtuck004 Jul 2014 #62

and while waiting for this jobs program to show significant results xchrom Jul 2014 #63

I don't think that one person or organization could make the needed changes DebJ Jul 2014 #89

You think Native Americans should be grateful for anything that can be done FOR them? jtuck004 Jul 2014 #93

Well then if this is so hideous and insulting, then none of them will accept the houses. DebJ Jul 2014 #96

The community has a housing shortage, these houses are solar and engergy efficient Bluenorthwest Jul 2014 #91

In that mountain of bullshit, I just want to say that the racism is very ugly. You say this: Bluenorthwest Jul 2014 #90
