A new word for EPIC FAIL
ELEFAIL (el-a-fail) Definition:

5. You're better than that...I hope.
Not to derail the thread, but sometimes as a feminist, the thinly velied sexism in the rhetoric against Palin makes me grind my teeth. You don't have to agree with a person's views to think that she shouldn't be sexually objectified.

8. You think because someone said...
Epic Fail=Sarah Palin you think is sexism..thinly veiled or otherwise? She wasn't sexually objectified, where did you get that.

By the same token, just because someone disagrees with Palin, and calls her out on her bs doesn't make it sexism.

I don't understand why this was your response to the first poster. It doesn't make sense.

9. Venting.
I wasn't specifically addressing the post. I'm just new here and I hadn't yet found a better outlet to vent.

10. I see..
I've not been here long, but since the time I joined I can tell you that it seems-at least to me-that they don't tolerate sexual objectifying/sexism. Not just the mods but DU members both male and female.

Welcome...hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

13. Hope so.
It's really a pet peeve of mine. No disillusioned divorcees, I hope? Seems I run into at least one on any forum I've ever visited. If they're that soured on women, they should just go ahead and put in their transfer for the other team and be done with it altogether.

6. Has she (Palin) gotten real quiet lately?
Or is it that I'm back out in the wilderness with no TV?

BTW: My Verizon wireless internet service is 1000% better this year than last. Why? This year they fessed up that there is an external antenna for their wireless modem. The total cost to me was $30. Why didn't they tell me that last year in all those hours-long calls to tech services because of the spotty service?

2. Thanatos.
Freud said it; 2 kinds of biological energy:
Eros - Love of Life
Thanatos - Love of Death

3. Jon Stewart summed it up best when talking about the "day of prayer"
that some senator was proposing. So now that the humans can't figure it out we're turning to God?

Well, God put the oil under 2 miles of sand and three miles of ocean... what more was necessary?
