all this talk about “Christian Crusades”… The "Christian Crusades were, in part, in response to the earlier "Muslim Crusades that invades Spain and the Balkans up to the Gates of Vienna. Let us remind our Arab friends of that little fact.

Sooo...does that mean since you own a computer, that puts you on the express tobogan to hell?

Sounds like we agree on more things than we all thought, middle east is screwed up, we as a western culture really just “dont get it” when it comes to the conflicts there. And we all agree we dont like the psycho-religious-nutlogs here in this country.

My favorite uncontrolable urge to choke the living shot of someone was a close friend who got very deep into fundimentalism back in the 80’s who told me with all conviction that dinosuar bones were put there by Satan to mislead mankind…ever have to really stop yerself from (offending word removed, sorry)slapping yer best friend and saying “snap out of it!”

What is 'bitchslapping"?

I hope it isn’t what it sounds like!!!

That is exactly what it is, Tony. Even the most liberal among us can have their moments.

Have you ever punched a self-proclaimed “pacifist” in the face? What happened? Did he raise the Jolly Roger?

I have never, since grade #5, ever hit anybody in anger.
Let alone a woman.
To advocate any sort of violence against women, even in jest, is reprehensible.

Including , I suppose , those brave suicide bombing females currently blowing our Servicemen to bits .

And all the really , non hysterical women in the armed forces world wide , don’t sort them out either ?

As it happens , I had a decent upbringing , too . Slapping women was–is --not gentlemanly .

And true Ladies would never provoke a bloke so far as to be on the receiving end of a slap .

Mike .

Tony, a bitchslap is a type of slap…across the face as a woman would slap someone…not anything to do with slapping a female. Probably what Hillary did to Billy after his BJ.

Sorry guys, bad choice of words on my part, but its as Warren describes it , and often seen in girl on girl fights on the Jerry Springer show during episodes like "I stole yer cheating husband"and “he’s my sister’s babys daddy”.

Sometimes I wonder about the choice of language you 'murricans use.

OK, Now I know it is just another way of compartmentalising women rather than actual physical violence against them, I guess we can get back to the central scheme of things eh?

Yuppers. Mind you, there are days in front of the computer at work when I agree with Marlowe's Mephistopheles: "Why this is hell, nor am I out of it ..."

My mother the vicar's daughter ran into an old friend who told her solemnly that unless she was born again, she was destined for the nether regions. Mother, a churchgoing believer but no fanatic, gently remarked that being born once was enough.
