Wow - guess I was too caught up in the nearby wilderness to check out all the city had to offer. In my defense, I've only been to SF (proper) five times. :^/
Very cool photo BTW.
Yep, anyone can be an oppressor of another, be it through skin colour, gender, sexual orientation, you name it. As a white woman, I can see how a straight black man might look at me and see an oppressor, because of the privelege my skin colour…
Wow, okay.. you don't think it's sexist to refer to a woman as a dog because you find her unattractive? You deem she doesn't measure up to the level of attractiveness that a woman "should" have (according to your opinion),…
Interesting comments, Stephanie.. I can't help but point out there is huge subjugation of women as well as homophobia happening in a lot of hip hop cultural representations, music and videos. Funny, given how hip hop had risen up out of…
?? Why would you assume I am insecure, especially since I called you on your sexism? I'm holding you accountable for what you said, and offering some cultural context to your "assessment." As for feminism, I thought it was cool that…

Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.
Click on the photo in question.
From the bottom right corner of the photo, you'll see a stack of links.

Click on "ok".
Photo should be gone.
I don't think there is any point in arguing with him. He is clearly just trying to pick a fight. BTW, you might be interested in my group CONSUMER ETHICS.
BTW - My Mom and one of my brothers were born in Vancouver. That license plate of yours would be arrogant if not so true. I think that some people need to go out into the old forests of the Northwest (Southwest?) and tap into other forms of reality.
Also, I was the ninth baby born in what is now Labrador City, Newfoundland. I'm a Newfie, eh? What do I know aboat anay-thin'
By the way - the fact that Mykeru can't get out of the trap of perceptive reality any more than anyone else can, but insists that human consciousness is, somehow, individuated, relegated to utterly separate entities, and does not extend out as an attribute of the universe as a whole, is the cognitive dissonance that forces him (winky punctuation or no) to resort to fallacies such as ad hominem and assertion.
No need to be offended. He limits himself - not you. (If he even exists at all.)
