I hereby vow to not respond to any "Hot chick," "Hot Dem babes" or any ...

[Misunderestimator]

other sexist threads until after the election. It's too distracting and I have far better things to be spending my time on. I might not even respond to my own thread if it goes the way it will predictably go. *sigh*

[dave123williams]

1. Yeah; but they're HOT!

[aden_nak]

2. I can multitask. More fun for me!

[nookiemonster]

4. Damn straight! That's just icing on the cake.

[bowens43]

3. I on the other hand

welcome the distraction. Please include photos.

5. I'm sorry if I offended.

I am serious as cancer though, about my thread. I don't care if it's sexist. I don't care if I'm using myself as a sex object. If even one deluded boy looks at the Kerry pin on me and says, "Eh, fuck it, I'm voting for the guy the hot chick is wearing", it's worth it. Screw it, those fuckers on the other side have been using their dirty tricks for TOO FUCKING LONG. Did you hear that piece on This American Life on NPR Sunday about the organized efforts those shitheads use to disenfranchise voters? How they are now being criminally charged because they're so fucking blatant about it?

I am pissed and I've done everything else I can do--I've volunteered, canvassed, phoned, etc etc etc. If being hot helps, so fucking be it.

Edit: this from a pretty militant feminist.

6. For me it would be like pretending to be straight to get a vote...

or volunteering to drive people to the polls, but driving republicans to the wrong place... just not in me. I think we retain more power by doing exactly what we're doing. Being honest and getting tens of thousands of volunteers to monitor the elections to ensure against disenfranchisement. How would it serve us to play the same tricks on them?

[Phillycat]

7. It's a philosophical question.

Should we play dirty because they do? And because it usually works for them?

I don't think we can afford NOT to--not this year. When Kerry is sworn in, I'll go back to fighting for women's rights. Right now it's HUMAN rights I'm fighting for.

I understand what you're saying though. I really do. It's taken a lot of shit-flinging from the other side to break down my ethics system.

Lastly, it's too bad you disagree, you're really hot. :evilgrin:

Peace? :hi:

[Misunderestimator]

8. LOL...

Peace :hi:

[cheezus]

14. um. she's not PRETENDING to be hot

so...

[Misunderestimator]

16. Right... but she WOULD be pretending to enjoy being an object.

I don't pretend to be hot either, though for some unknown reason some people think I am... I just prefer not to make that a tool to use that in doing so would further the rampant sexism and objectification we already deal with.

9. i hate all that stuff anyway

i hate some of the suggestive handles, the suggestive thread titles... i come here for some serious discussion. there are enough singles and hot chick sites on the 'internets' without this place being lowered to that level.

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. Hey, I don;t like a lot of stuff on here either.

That's why the "hide" function comes in handy.

[Wat_Tyler]

12. There's your first mistake.

You came to the Lounge for serious discussion.
Why not pick one of the dozen-or-so serious forums?

[Misunderestimator]

18. Ah, come on.... there's serious discussion and then there's

insulting discussion... I love the Lounge... I love all the people here, including you, and I'm not about to run off to another forum because I'm insulted by a few things here. But I'm sure as hell not keeping my mouth shut... obviously. See, here I go again paying too much attention to this subject. It's hell to be me. :)

[Wat_Tyler]

22. I'm sorry if that sounded harsh, that wasn't the intent.

My intent is to defend the lounge from over-seriousness as an island of satire, foolishness and smarmery in a sea of serious matters.

[Misunderestimator]

23. Hey no problem.... I'm probably on the overly sensitive side of things

right now, and besides... I like you, so you're lucky :evilgrin:

[Wat_Tyler]

24. Thanks. I imagine the tension will drop off tomorrow night, eh?

[Misunderestimator]

26. Or early Wednesday, yes. :)

[Phillycat]

27. Or sometime in December, when the court case is resolved.

*bangs head repeatedly against wall*

[JuniperLea]

20. mea culpa

i didn't know until now that i could hide lounge threads from the latest list.

thanks for the head's up!

[Wat_Tyler]

11. I like cold women.

Cold women. Woo-hoo!

[Misunderestimator]

13. Oh don't even start with me...

You guys all know what I'm talking about... :spank:

[JuniperLea]

25. i'm as non-cold as they come

not cold here... just don't like the singles shit anymore... had message board aversion therapy against my will too many times.

if i were 'looking' i'd be all over this shit, but i can't take it anymore. i have a serious s/o and i'm not into public flirting at this point.

carry on:)

[LibLover]

15. This hot chick is just glad you're voting!

[Maddy McCall]

17. Respond to me?

You and NSMA are the epitome of groovy in my book! :loveya:

[Misunderestimator]

19. And YOU are groovy to me.

How sweet of you to say... :loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

21. Well, thanks!

That other thread kinda irked me, too. You had the balls to say what I didn't. Thanks! :-)

[miss_kitty]

28. "You had the balls to say what I didn't."

Erm-Isn't that sexist?

Kidding kidding! *runs for cover*

:evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

29. HAHA... well I don't have any real balls...

though I do have some fake ones :)

[miss_kitty]

31. I found some

golf balls at the ocean once, but that's about as close as I'M going to get having any myself! :D

[Misunderestimator]

32. Well.... it's not like I have any use for them

they just come with the... oh never mind :)

[miss_kitty]

33. Nah

I don't golf either....

[dr.strangelove]

30. And what is wrong with HOT DEM BABES

I am married to a very hot dem babe. I'm all for hot dem babes. Kerry has two Hot Dem Babes for daughters. GO HOT DEM BABES!!!
