Really? Find a post me me yelling "racist" at someone. Go ahead...I've got time.

You folks are extraordinary. Really. All humans have sick, twisted thoughts all the time....everyday. Whether or not one acts on those thoughts is what separates fairly normal people from the wackos.

But of course, we're all supposed to believe that the C-D conservatives are the ONE glaring exception on the planet. You're all as pure as it gets. Never a mean or twisted thought or fantasy has ever passed through your beautiful heads.

No...just the same hot air as usual.

That's more like a disturbing delusion than a fantasy.

No, it's not.

A delusion is something someone wrongly believes is real.

A fantasy is a made up scenario that the person having it knows will never happen.

I can agree with that. Perhaps the guy was truly nutty. Hell, I remember that book from my montessori school days and even then I thought it was a pretty twisted book...that's because it is. The movie (which I enjoyed immensely) was even nuttier.

But for people to act as if having sick, twisted thoughts is something unusual is ridiculous. We ALL have them. If humans could read minds, we'd want 99% of our species committed to a nuthouse.

I've had some pretty twisted fantasies in my lifetime, as I'm sure most people have. My mother used to dream about killing my step-mother, back when the divorce/re-marry first happened... they used to be best friends, so she was madder at the woman than my father (as their marriage was dead anyway). Should we lock her up for those dreams??

Riiiiiight... because conservatives are SO tolerant, especially when it comes to liberals (and gays, non-whites, non-Christians, etc). Gimme a break.
