Some Things Should Be Private!
I am feeling quite disturbed & annoyed at the moment! I was going through some random blog sites & found this site entitled: F_ _K Compassion! Slaughter & Then Stuff Them! Then came the photographs! There were these horrid, bloody close-ups of slaughtered deer! I was tempted to leave a message of protest, but decided against it....their response to a protest would probably be to kill more animals & post even worse pictures!!!! Point to remember is that there are people who are pro-choice & others who are pro-life. How would pro-life folks like it if the pro-choice groups put up a laudatory blog sites on abortion, with some gross snaps "glorifying" the procedure?! After all, both hunting & abortion are legal! I personally hate hunters, but since the law permits that "sport", the "sportsmen" are welcome to go & partake in that activity (I do make a huge distinction btwn these "sportsmen" & people who hunt for survival, though). What I find unpardonable is their proudly setting up a blog site with these macabre snapshots! Unless people are willing to be bombarded with gross images of anything they detest, I think society should send this message to these proud blog site owners: Keep these things to yourselves! If you have to share such inhumane snaps, make sure only your friends have access to those sites!

I Insist On Having My Say:
OK, kindly allow me to present my case. The Yahoo Sports Blog section recently featured an article on Venus Williams, written by one of their sports experts. The article itself isn't the focus here; rather, some of the responses to the writer's thoughts about a Venus Williams vs. Serena Williams rivalry. A particular individual has posted the following entry 5 successive times: "76. Posted by Ason T Mon Jul 06, 2009 6:48 am EDT
how can venus wins serena, how can a chimpanzee upset a GORILLIA"
Educated readers, kindly ignore the grammatical errors in this single-sentence entry and pay attention to the message conveyed!!!! In response, I posted the following, which, for some reason, Yahoo has flatly refused to print! Friends, please read my "unprintable" entry & then you be the judge....
"The Yahoo blog authorities are so sensitive to words like F%$* & B@%&@, but seem to have no qualms whatsoever about registering posts like #s 76 through 80 above! Such "intellectually stimulating" comments are reminiscent of blog entries following news reports of Phil Mickelson's wife's breast cancer eg. "Now that Mrs. Mickelson will be out of service for a while, Phil needs a mistress", "If Phil's wife wanted the US Open trophy so badly, she should've married Tiger!" I can't speak for the rest of you guys, but I'd much rather take a few swear words than read such abhorrent remarks as those made by As(s)on T!!!!"
You tell me: Do you agree with Yahoo? Was my response more offemsive than Ason T's?

I Insist On Having My Voice Heard!
The Yahoo Sports Golf Blog section has the following entry in response to criticism of some asinine claim that Phil Mickelson is currently a superior golfer than Tiger Woods! I have repeatedly tried to post my response to this misogynist's note, but it seems like the guy in charge of publishing these posts is a greater misogynist....he has selected a whole lot of juvenile entries, but stubbornly refused to publish mine! Hence, I'm posting it on this blog. Here's Mr. Miosgynist's blog:
"Tiger fans you guys are like a bunch of jealous girls. If some guy says another girl is beautiful you take it as an insult and will do anything to slight your rival. If Arkush says Phil is playing better than anyone you guys have a cardiac. Get over the man crush!"
My Response:
Shouldn't we be thanking our lucky stars that the much-despised Tiger fans are like "a bunch of jealous girls" rather than their male counterparts? "Mean Girls", despicable as their behaviour might be, limit the expression of their animosity to catty remarks! The "Man Scorned", on the other hand, tends to think that there's only one solution to All Problems Great & Small i.e. The Gun! I would much rather deal with Tiger fans who are petty & bitchy than ones who think violence is the best policy!!!!
