2. The Fundies will go nuts....

both Christian and Muslim.

I won't be surprised if she isn't singled out for extermination, like Salman Rushdie. :(

[mtnester]

22. But But...we were created in his image...

Couldn't resist :-)

4. She has me convinced........

I'm a lover, not a fighter, anyway! ;) I'd definitely rather make love than fight some idiotic war any day. Anyone who says differently is insane or a Republican. I guess they're one in the same though, aren't they.

9. Let's be clear: Its not that they prefer fighting to making love

because, as evidenced by our shortage of troops, Republicans aren't very keen on the idea of fighting in a war. They won't enlist to defend our freedom and protect the homeland in the war on terror.

They prefer "fighting" war to making love, yes, its true. As long as someone else does the fighting. They serve in the 101st Keyboardists.

But, the important thing to remember about Republicans is:

The idea of war makes them sexually aroused.

25. The "101st Keyboardists"???

omg how true! :thumbsup:

5. What a commentary on today's Amerika

Screwed up on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. :crazy:

Be violent, be lionized.

Be naked, be objectified.

What a sick society we live in.

[leftchick]

10. well to be honest

I believe there were a lot of nude protestors in the 60s as well. But then I was just a baby. :)

[stevedeshazer]

11. There were

I looked good naked back then. :)

But my point is, why does it take a naked woman to draw attention to an obvious problem? Isn't the violence enough?

[leftchick]

16. you would think so...

but then we are dealing with a whole new nation of UNINFORMED that is so much worse than 1968!

:(

[nine23]

6. Yeah, but did she flash a nipple?

[Booster]

7. Ok, now we're back in the 60's - finally. Good for this lady.

[rodeodance]

8. good for her.

[stevedeshazer]

12. Okay, guys, who is next?

We all seem to like seeing a naked woman, right?

[Just Me]

14. Even as a VERY modest female,...that is quite beautiful to me.

Her courage is so refreshing,...and impactful on me.

[Just Me]

15. Oh, I know why it's impactful to me: it's the "naked truth"!!!!

Yes!!! To me, she is that "naked truth"!!! :bounce:

[leftchick]

17. you got it Just Me!

The NAKED TRUTH!!

:woohoo:

[Just Me]

21. In spite of my extreme modesty, she is the "naked truth" to me.

And I embrace that, through and through!!!

She also reminds me of the picture of a human being who was smeared with feces, a bag on his head,...absolute human cruelty imposed by OUR government's direction.

[hunter]

18. I notice she walks on water too...

The fundamentalists hate that.

[leftchick]

24. so true

:rofl:

[Generic Other]
