>What I have written I have written.<

Very Christian.....

Pondero, you cannot be serious! Bush isn't pro-life, he's pro-a-little-bit-of-it if even that! Single issue voting is always a bad idea, and especially in this case...

Hey, look Mudhooks: The Bush Administration is really sucking up to those pro-life mainland Chinese:

And, in the process, making the world a much safer place by fomenting war between China and Taiwan.

Of course, that may help some of us: that one active division of the U.S. army that isn't tied up in Iraq won't be trying to find Toronto on their maps.

What a bizarre and inaccurate statement! The 'host' as you so inelegantly put it, suffers no damage whatsoever in normal pregnancy, and I should know, having had three children, and having been born of a mother who had five, and having sisters who have had five between them (at least)Knowing what kind of assertions you're likely to make in reply, I'll emphasise that I said "in normal pregnancy" - so please note!

I wish someone could tell me what the hidden post said.

(I can't even read the posts to my own journal)

Exactly! It's another Vietnam, though I don't think it will last that long.

I should have added:

"and some people are actually going to vote for the man who stuck all those innocent babies into this certain death simply because the foul devil mumbles glibly about his fake religion."


I wish I knew what was in the hidden post.

Ask Mudhooks to email it to you, anhaga. I've just read a bit of it. It was a nasty personal insult against Mudhook's mother. Totally uncalled for, the lowest and cheapest of adhominum attacks, once again showing how 'christian' these people can be.

I already sent the portion I sent you to Anhaga.

Well. I never thought that posting a link to a news story about missing explosives in Iraq would lead to an anti-choice attack against Mudhooks' mother. How could I have anticipated that?

I guess I better not post a link to that story about George W. Bush actually being a lesbian woman who's gone through a sex change. Who knows what could happen?

No-one insulted Mudhooks mother. Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

Marmion? Wouldn't a little something from the Bible be more appropriate? Something like:

"If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you."

Guess we better pull Bush out of his hole, give him a dental exam on international television, and then stick him in a prison somewhere but not tell anybody where he is.

The majority of Iraqis who have met a violent end in the last two years have been murdered by a fundamentalist "Christian" by the name of Bush. As for the ones you described in your post (still hidden, by the way): Wahabis are not fundamentalist Moslems.

I was going to post a response to your foul trash about how we feel about our mothers, but I made a promise not to. Suffice it to say, you obviously haven't been faced with anything close to the dilemas of a life that I have. You are fortunate. I hope you appreciate it and treat others accordingly.

What you wrote was offensive. Not to take responsibility for making a disgusting reference toi someone's mother in that manner is reprehensible. not to make some sort of appology is appalling.

I did "deceive" as you put it. I am offended. As I have forwarded part of the offending text to several other people for their opinion, and they were likewise appalled. Whatever our differences in opinion, I would not make personal references of the sort you made about anyone, let alone about a woman who, at 80 years old, has spent the better part of her life caring about those less fortunate and raising 5 children.

You have made offensive remarks, and you won't own up to them. I think it makes it clear who is in the wrong.

Why do you not, as anhaga has asked you, unsubscribe from this conversation and bother us no more?

Typo:

I did NOT "deceive" as you put it. I am offended.

Now. Let's try again:

"At the Pentagon, an official who monitors developments in Iraq said U.S.-led coalition troops had searched Al-Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives, which had been under IAEA seal since 1991, were intact. The site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity."

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6323933/

"An NBC News crew that accompanied U.S. soldiers who seized the Al-Qaqaa base three weeks into the war in Iraq reported that troops discovered significant stockpiles of bombs, but no sign of the missing HMX and RDX explosives."

same site.

"White House spokesman Scott McClellan said there was no risk of nuclear proliferation because of the theft."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3955007.stm

So!? Great. The nefarious people don't have a megaton of nuclear explosive, they have a third of a megaton of conventional explosive. Isn't that reassuring?

Adelaide: You say there is no physical damage incurred during a normal pregnancy. Do you then consider all of these things as perfectly normal, and just as likely to happen to you when pregnant as when not?

1) Massive weight gain
2) Nausea/vomiting
3) Back pain
4) Swollen/tender breasts
5) Swelling/pain in feet
6) Distended abdomen
7) Mood swings
8) Abdominal cramping

That looks startlingly like a list of symptoms brought about by viral or bacterial infection, does it not? A rather serious infection, I might add.

But, as you say, "I should know, having had three children, and having been born of a mother who had five, and having sisters who have had five between them (at least)," and so I'm sure neither you nor your mother or sisters ever had any of the symptoms mentioned above. I bow to your expertise in this as in all matters.

My mother and I both nearly died when I was born as I was breech and Placentia previa.... it was a Ceasarian that saved both of us. However, in those "enlightened times" a woman needed her husband or father's permission to have any precedure, including emergency life-saving surgery, so they had to wait until they tracked my father down. He had gone to sleep in the studio a it was a friend who finally tracked him down to get him in to the hospital to sign the papers.

My mother and I were both "chattel" under the Catholic Quebec law. Still today, if I am in an accident in Quebec, I need to give them my father's name before they will treat me... and not the name of my adoptive father who was the only father I knew from age 7 onward, but my birth father who abandoned us when I was a year old. Very enlightened.

Just to let everyone know, I received a message from the Moderation Team informing me that the posting DID contravene the rules and it has been removed. I, at least feel vindicated. It would be nice to get an apology from the offender, if only for my mother, if not for me.

I'm not holding my breath.

Oh very... I heard a Bush apologist on the radio today saying the whole thing was a beat-up, from the "leftist" NBC!

Blatherskite, I found your first post very offensive, and this one to which I am replying is just baffling. Assuming (as I always have) that you are male, I further assume you've never been pregnant. So, I just wonder where you got your list of "side effects"? Not every pregnant woman experiences every one of these, and every pregnancy is different. None of those symptoms justifies getting "a cure" for what you call a "parasitic infection".
<>>
Can occur to anyone at any time, for any reason, including to women on the contraceptive pill. Only morbid obesity, which is not a side effect of pregnancy, is in any way dangerous.

See my comments above, in fact my comments above apply to most of yoiur list.

<> (occur when on the pill and as part of the normal hormonal cycle.
5) Swelling/pain in feet
6) Distended abdomen
<>
Occur as part of the normal menstrual cycle!
No, sorry Blatherskite - your comments are just bizarre and argue a purely emotional loathing of pregnancy for some reason I can't fathom. It's just odd.
