I told you I was sick. But you just wouldn't take no for an answer.— October 30, 2009 1:46 a.m.

Pete, like with any medication, there are potential negative reactions that must be balanced against potential risk. Young healthy people are better off risking getting sick, since it's unlikely to kill them. People in subgroups for whom that isn't true, like the elderly or infirm, need to make another calculation. But anybody who doesn't want to get vaccinated because there's "chemicals" in there, or because they don't trust "the man", if they end up getting sick that's just Darwin trying to tidy up the gene pool.— October 30, 2009 1:30 a.m.
Who Killed Richard Swink?
Refried I'm a huge fan of perspective. I think mine is pretty good. I think Fred has none.— October 29, 2009 8:13 p.m.

Crissy, re: Caminiti, both. Josh re: Johnson, his Dad totally criticized his son's comments and said he was an idiot.— October 29, 2009 7:45 p.m.
Who Killed Richard Swink?
Fred you've got the same problem Fish has. Anyone who doesn't agree with you is an ignorant idiot who should just shut their piehole and "be quiet, the grownups are talking". I'm sorry but I'm not so blinded by ideology that I can't see all the good this country does. Does that mean I'm a Fox News watching, Rush Limbaugh listening, Bush supporting, bible thumping flag waver. No. But I also don't have to be an America hating, police attacking, criminal excusing, politically correct douchebag. This country is not perfect. People are not perfect. But people like you idealize "over there", Europe or anywhere but here, and refuse to acknowledge the bad things that happen in other parts of the world, or the good things us ugly Americans do.— October 29, 2009 7:35 p.m.

This just in: Fish and her brethren strike against free speech. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2009/oct/29/wh…— October 29, 2009 7:20 p.m.

Refried once again you nail it:"You were that girl on the playground that said, "Well, if you're friends with HER, then I can't be friends with YOU." Fish you're welcome to think whatever you want. The problem is you're not willing to grant the same right to others. You treat your opinions like religion. You're offended by others who don't think like you. Hence Refried's reference to free speech. Because you don't believe in it. You're a book burner. But instead of burning "Catcher in the Rye", you'd burn "Huckleberry Finn", because you don't like it's portrayal of Jim. There is a difference between what people say, what they think, and what they DO. Pete is right about this (hell just froze over), there should be no such thing as a hate crime. There can be no thought police in a free country. People have a right to be as racist as they want, and to talk about it if they want to, as long as they don't DO anything discriminatory. Pete is also right that affirmative action is reverse racism. You may think it's justified, but that it's racist and discriminatory can't be denied. It clearly is. But beyond that, you must understand that just because someone doesn't see things your way doesn't make them racist. I am not a racist because I think affirmative action has gone on long enough to right the historic inequities of the past. I am not a racist because I don't believe in open borders, and don't want to feel like a foreigner in my own country. I am not a racist because I don't agree with you. Neither is Refried. Neither is Pete.— October 29, 2009 7:16 p.m.
