Actually it wasn't me really but I kind of defended the person who said it because I thought he was joking. Kati hug to you too. Hug

I had totally forgotten it was you, so as you can see no grudges held. Here's a big Kati hug to prove it.  Hug
 
I have objected to other misogynistic remarks on PA, so it was the only first example I recalled rather than a dig at you.

I have a problem with anyone being called a "bitch" here. I also have a problem with anyone being called a "prick" or a "dick". If someone is being bitchy then by all means ask them to stop being a bitch, but to call them a bitch would be unacceptable to me. Similarly, if someone is acting like a prick then by all means point that out to them, but to actually call them a prick would be unacceptable.
 
My objection is not to one person being called a bitch or a prick (as we all behave badly on occasion) but using those nouns to refer collectively to an entire gender.

A slightly off the topic, what about the statement of the Patriarch of Serbian Ortdox Church, given a few days ago, that Serbia needs to regain control at Kosovo "willingly or forcefully"? http://english.blic.rs/News/10957/Patriarch-on-Kosovo-We-must-respond-to-force
You do not need anything to answer, because the question is rhetorical in order just to inform the readers of this thread with what kind of institutionalized maniacs (who openly and literally called to a new dirty war at Balkan and at the same time also make speeches in their temples as well as at the fascist Internet portals that return to the "some of medieval forms of society" is something inevitable and the main requirement if "we" want that "God regarding Serbia,") LGBT community here have to deal.

It's pretty apt most of the time.

*shrug* all I know is he threw a tantrum and sulked off. Next I saw he was suspendered.
Sheesh. I always liked SteveG. He would have these odd occasions from time to time, I must admit.

^ the problem with the old exitus tragicus is having to sneak back in to see if anyone's noticed it, and if so, then to read what they said without being able to reply. That would drive me nutz.

I've always fancied 'the flounce' for my melodramatic exeunt stage left but I fear I lack the grace and necessary poise so will probably sneak out quietly when no one is watching.

Please BaldFriede don't insult your own country by daring to compare Bavaria (or any place on Earth really) to Texas

There is a common saying in Germany: "Bavaria is no longer Germany and not yet Austria".

Many things are different in Bavaria. It is for example the only one of the 16 federal states of Germany in which there is no Christian Democratic Union (one of the major political parties in Germany) but where you have the Christian Social Union instead. The CSU is a sister party of the CDU, but there are often tensions between them. These tensions have a big impact on the political life in Germany.

In the days of Franz Josef Strauss the CSU got around 70% of the votes in Bavaria, a lot more than any other party in any other federal state. They still get by far the most votes in Bavaria. And the CSU is the most conservative of all democratic parties in Germany; it borders on right-wing extremism at times.
I was aware of that )though not of all those details) and I know Bavaria troubled history with extremism. But: 

1. I have been there twice and oh my is it a beautiful place, quite unlike the horrid nothingness of TX
2. It has given us plenty of great culture, quite unlike TX 
3. Even its extremists are probably less stupid than the ones in TX
Tongue
The horrid nothingness of Texas


Ok the horrid 95% nothingness of TX Tongue
Nope


94.84% Tongue
