"Jessica Taylor" wrote in message ... You are the one who could not understand how generalizations are offensive. Some can be, some aren't. This is a generalization: "Oak trees hold on to their leaves than other trees." How is that offensive, Peter? Are you really that simple? I really need to qualify my statement to make it clear that I am talking about a specific type of generalization? You certainly didn't identify any certain types of generalizations. You merely said "generalizations are so offensive in the first place." That word "idiotic" is coming to mind again. If it makes you happy, you can have whatever in your mind that you please. But you did claim that "you are the one who could not understand how generalizations are offensive." That's the underlying concept you don't understand, by your own admission. False premise and false claim. You wrote the words. You can try to deny it now, but Google has already archived it. I wrote what words, Pete? |

I am tired of their "in your face" tactics. Getting married is an "in your face" tactic to the same extent that sitting in the front of a public bus was an "in your face" tactic. And as your post nicely illustrates, it elicits slurs and hostility from the same sort of person. That analogy does not work for me. Frankly I am just tired of trying to normalize deviancy. And I'm tired of bigots crying 'deviancy' whenever others don't "know their place" as assigned by their race or (in this case) gender. Yet despite our fatigue, here we both are. Isn't aviation a wonderful melting pot? ![]() Some of use so-called bigots have quarrel with 'deviancy' or whatever but are merely dismayed about a trampling of process and judicial codes. Apparently procedure is maleable when inconvenient depending on the issue. |

Please stop. mike "Jay Honeck" wrote in message A valiant effort, Jessica, but you're truly wasting your breath... -- Jay Honeck I was merely responding to your eloquent posts, Mike, like "should be obvious," "wadda marroon," inter alia. Unlike yourself? You seem to hold yourself to much different standards. I guess that is called 'tolerance.' ![]() |

I don't believe that's going to be true much longer. EVERYONE in the US either books on-line, or searches on-line, nowadays. Personally, I use the internet to find a hotel, and then I call them. (Don't EVER stay at a hotel/motel that doesn't list their *local* telephone number, by the way. Those national reservation call centers are a clue that you are dealing with McSuites.) You can always, always, ALWAYS drive a better price by talking to the manager or owner, than you can get on-line, because he (like me) would much rather give YOU the 15% that we have to pay the on-line booking agencies. I went to Florida for a 2 week dive trip last year... I made no reservations beforehand since I was planning on just winging it... Wherever I happened to be that day, I would just find a hotel for the night... I encountered hotels who would not give me the same rate that I could get via booking their room via one of the online sites... So, I drove around the neighborhood, found an open wireless internet connection and booked it... In one case, the online site brought up a competitor that was an even better deal, so the hotel actually lost my business... Maybe I wasn't speaking to the owner or manager, but since they appeared to be Indian, I at least had a good reason to assume that they were... grin |
