JB: "All men, regardless of their personal orientation sexually, should be Pro-Choice. It is, after all, none of our business what a woman does with her body.

That's almost exactly what I've told anyone who asks me about my opinion on abortions. 

And to stay on topic, I've never read a JB comic book and thought that he was a racist.  I've run into my fair share of racists in Missouri over the last three decades, so I have an informed idea of what racism is.  Plus, I've read literally dozens (if not hundreds) of JB comics over the same time span, so I feel equally informed there, too.

I tend to steer clear of boards where folks don't (or won't) use their real names.  Yeah, that's fairly limiting, but when I did look at them, I found myself feeling like I'd wasted my time.

As they do in daily conversation.  I can't tell you the number of times I've been blasted, or blasted someone, in a heated conversation about politics and religion sitting at my favorite pub, enjoying a beer.  Why it should be any different here is beyond me.  I think it goes to a "herd mentality" that some associate with this board.  Sure, we're all gathered here because we like the work of one man, but I hardly think that means that there is an overriding "herd mentality" where every subject is concerned.  I know I've disagreed with JB on a number of occasions regarding Hollywood, and guess what?  He and I e-mail each other on a regular basis and I'm a mod on his board.  Like I've said in numerous threads, it's not that you disagree with someone here, it's how you choose to disagree with them that matters.

Can I have an AMEN? 

Can we make the understanding of the above statement a requirement of anyone that posts on the net?

Nah.  Didn't think so.  Sad, really, how many debates I've been in where the person I'm debating with has nary a leg to stand on with regard to fact, and, as a last gasp, will toss out the "I'm entitled to my opinion.  No opinion is wrong" card. Sorry, but opinions can be wrong.  They're wrong all the time.  Just because you hold one, especially an uninformed one, doesn't mean that you are automatically excluded from seeking out the truth.

InterNet cowards are among the lowest of the species. Grow some f***ing BALLS, you losers!
