You saw me crying
But you didn't want to look
You heard me hurting
But you didn't want to listen

This could have been something
This could have been really something
Tell me something more
Tell me something more worth living for

You felt me wanting
But you didn't want to give
You sensed me sinking
But you really couldn't save me

This could have been something
This could have been really something
Tell me something more
Tell me something more worth living for

People come and go
It's just the way of the world
Love just ebbs and flows
What's left for us to rely on

This could have been something
This could have been really something
Tell me something more
Tell me something more worth living for

The sinners are much more fun.

Not really an opinion on the thread, just seemed appropriate.

those that shun civil rights, yet, how the song interprets sinners is not sinners. so felt ironic on that. ya... i guess in the song version, those speaking up for right would be the sinners in rw, corporate eyes.

The sinners are deemed to be the misfits, those who defy authority, those who think for themselves and formulate their own ideas of right and wrong.

Of course in the song the main character is frustrated because the Catholic girls parents have rejected him as "not good enough" for their daughter and he is trying to convince her to reject their parental decrees and come out with him. So perhaps his motivations are not exactly lily white.

for a little while. There are some folks around here that pride themselves on getting people juried, and subsequently unable to post.

There are also some who push the envelope so far that it isn't even in the same zip code anymore, and they get let off the hook.

I'm not going to say it is raining hard, but I saw a long line of animals lining up two by two next to a man building a boat.

One poster insisted that RQ was the primary source of misogyny on this site. Apparently daring to disagree with some who consider themselves superior to the rest of us makes a person a misogynist, not arguing against women's reproductive rights, equality in healthcare coverage, repeating MRA arguments about rape, domestic violence, or supporting people who make such statements. It's a feminism as misogyny and misogyny as feminism hall of mirrors.

Of course I could not disagree more with that assessment and feel Redqueen's loss greatly. We have lost an invaluable voice, someone who has taught me a great deal, and I know some others feel the same way.

Whether she is currently posting or not, she is a DUer in good standing and deserves better than your snarky bullshit.

Those true colors you are showing aren't very appealing.
