I usually don’t like to criticize free websites for how they work, because to me its as rude as going to someone’s house and criticizing their taste in furniture… but the comment review system is seriously flawed.

Its okay to tell people they have a small pee-pee, but god forbid you use the words in the title of the post, or censored forms of words as they appear in other comments?

I understand my account is new, but if I have to sit it the kids table, I’m just gonna go eat somewhere else.

Isn’t personality the ONE thing you should judge others on? Also, I love the comment about how Mrs. Obama would basically pull out a glock, hold it sideways, and cap yo’ ass if you call her a b*tch. Probably better tools in the box to fight sexism than racism. Unless you’re geraldine Ferraro.

ThomasMc Says:

Remind me again, why is it ok to call a man a “prick”, but calling a woman anything but a lady is a slur?

Because calling you a “little prick” doesn’t refer to your personality.

ergo, Castellanos should agree that it’s also sometimes appropriate for McCain to call his wife a cunt?

imho, using b____ just for females and a__h____ just for males is often if not always sexist. i agree that profanity is low brow but sometimes it’s called for — i just a__h____ universally.

ot: are we living in the 50s? why the censoring of profanity? how prudish and puritanical can you get, tp?

Grampy McSame says – My friends back in the day we called everything the ‘B’ word, I would be cutting the lawn and I’d say hand me a glass of ‘B’, I had a tasty hunk of ‘B’ on rye yesterday, I would say it the ‘B’ word a thousand times a day, then on day foreigners started saying it, well that was that, we had to come up with a new word, so I started using the ‘C’ word and that was very popular in my political party, we would use it all the time, the ladies thought we were all strong men, real strong, see look at this, impressive, uh….oh dear, I’ve got that creamed corn in my pants again, where in the world does it come from.

Grampy, we all know you have no respect for women, go wash up and take a nap.

My posts slightly derogatory but no real bad language. It this site controlled by comcast?

There are apparently certain trigger words that TP has in their moderating software. I know d-o-u-c-h-e-b-a-g is one that will get your post hung up (I’ve used that a couple of times referring to right-wing idiocy.)

I guess you have to be creative with your pejoratives…

Mine’s in moderation. probably for all the *’s… hopefully they will see that the words were used in context. And even more hopefully, my comment will appear in the thread at a point where it makes some degree of sense :)

Very odd that a post about calling Sen Clinton a b*tch seems to ban comments using said word. a bit f**ked up!

MyCane is using this to incite the 25%er’s to vote GOP. the strategy is right out of the Karl Rove playbook.

It’s down to the 23%ers according to the latest Zogby poll.

well, i’ve got to agree with modo on this one:

[...]
As a possible first Madame President, Hillary is a flawed science experiment because you can’t take Bill out of the equation. Her story is wrapped up in her marriage, and her marriage is wrapped up in a series of unappetizing compromises, arrangements and dependencies.

Instead of carving out a separate identity for herself, she has become more entwined with Bill. She is running bolstered by his record and his muscle. She touts her experience as first lady, even though her judgment during those years on issue after issue was poor. She says she’s learned from her mistakes, but that’s not a compelling pitch.

As a senator, she was not a leading voice on important issues, and her Iraq vote was about her political viability.

She told New York magazine’s John Heilemann that before Iowa taught her that she had to show her soft side, “I really believed I had to prove in this race from the very beginning that a woman could be president and a woman could be commander in chief. I thought that was my primary mission.”

If Hillary fails, it will be her failure, not ours.

i recommend you all click on that “white b!tch” link and read her opinion piece that contains the joke, and so much more – and that joke? lowbrow, maybe, but it IS kinda funny…

Am I the only one who has lost two posts? Or were they to anti something?

theswan. I lost one, too. I thought it might have had something to a filter for the word b*tch, if you spell it correctly. I don’t know, but you’re not the only one.
