That looks really, really cold. You couldn't pay me enough to flop down naked in the snow like that.

A million billion dollars. You can pay me in installments...or just keep remembering to put two linefeeds between your paragraphs.
And calling them "girls?" The AP piece (did you read it?) said they ranged from age 20 to 50. Maybe you could be a little less sexist?
I'll work on giving your two-lines paragraph breaks (because I am an accomodationg guy), but calling them "girls" is not at all sexist, just as calling a group of men "guys" is equally not sexist. That is just plain ridiculous. Words mean different things for different situations. If you can't see that, I pity you. Guys and Girls mean exactly the same thing. They are just different words because the masculine and feminine forms gramatically are different. If you think that is bad, you should take a look at French sometime. You would have a sexist field-day.
People who say that are just looking for something to bitch about. And I still seriously doubt they had any inlking what the hell they were talking about. And the very fact that they spelled out "NO bUSH" instead of "NO WAR" immediatly makes them suspect.

No, the anti-war protests in DC are run by an outfit called "International ANSWER" which is paid for by the Workers World Party, which believes in the following, straight from their website
We're independent Marxists who respect the struggles for self-determination and progress of oppressed nations. We try to understand their problems in a world dominated by Western imperialism. We don't jump on the bandwagon when Third World leaders are demonized. Our goal is solidarity of all the workers and oppressed against this criminal imperialist system.
I wouldn't exactly take pride in that over naked morons in the snow... | messenoir

If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. That's why the speakers during these things tend to be such paragons of virtue as Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan and Monica Moorehead, etc. | messenoir

When you have the American Council of Churches, NOW and the AFL/CIO involved, I believe that counts for more than some bored teachers and communists. So please, even if you disagree with the message, give some fucking credit to who is giving the message. Someday, I hope we can move past the commy pinko faggot names my dad so used to love to use. | PalpatineW

With all due respect, you just named three liberal groups as evidence that these protestors fall all over the political spectrum.
I don't mind that they're liberal. What I do mind is your trying to pass this off as an argument. I don't care if the Pope and Osama bin Laden both come together and decry war; I'll need a logical argument, and I have yet to see one from the current anti-war protests. | asteroidboy

No they don't. "Boys" and "Girls" do. And you probably wouldn't have referred to a group of men as boys. |
