How about send your congress people's kids to the wars they love so much? And maybe send the representatives as well. Failing, visit them some with some Christmas drones. Cruise missiles being so last year.

When I was in school there were always a few kids who helped the janitors. It took just a few, so I doubt there would be enough work to go around.

Dear me, I thought kids went to school to learn, not be extra janitors.
The reason we feed them is because a well-fed stomach is essential for learning.

"Mark" is a short film about the life of 10 year old boy who is one of 28,000 homeless children living in Orange County California.
It's just under 4 minutes.
This isn't hellish, but these are my thoughts and comments:
These kids are everywhere, so are their families. It's warmed up to -27°C here this afternoon. The shelters all relaxed their rules on crowding and intoxication this week, with the cold. We hit -39°C earlier in the week. The Salvation Army and Food Bank put out an appeal and they now have enough, actually more than enough.
People are basically good if you allow them to be and show them what are truly advocating. Those who aren't, it's binary isn't it? Either stupid or evil. I go with stupid even when they are evil. Gives me hope.

Newt Gingrich is working now as a commentator on CNN. How CNN could think that anyone would have the slightest interest in listening to anything such a blowhard might have to say is beyond me -- unless they're interested in giving Faux News a run for their money.

I mean that the mere fact that Gingrich is on CNN will ensure that limp-wristed socialists like you No Point will watch him just so you can be offended by him. You will, sheep-like, tune in just to hear him mock you. Then you will get angry.
Thus CNN can sell the airtime to companies selling vegan suppositories and plastic shoes and so forth.

I really want to say with gritted teeth after watching scenes of the Kinder Transport you fucking son of a bitch. You disappoint me so, I don't get this angry. It's conflation with the fucking Nazis who, you'll be glad to know, make me viscerally rethink my pacifism.
But I just watched a representation of our Lord dying for the Nazis, the Jews, you and me.
So please forgive me, you .... and I wrote the word I NEVER use and even Jesus couldn't shame me in to retracting it.
But He did. Not shame, something else. Me too.

Anyhoo No Point, it seems to me that you have just done the very thing you have accused me of doing. Let mne walk you through it slowly...
1) I said Socialists were limp-wristed. That is all. I made no connection between limp-wristedness and homosexuality. As far as I know no homosexuals are limp-wristed.
2) You did. You made a connection between limp-wristedness and homosexuality. You naughty homophobe.
I don't know any gay people with limp-wrists. Perhaps you do, or perhaps you are just falling back onto stereotypes with which you are fluent.
Either way it seems to me that the only people who have made any kind of connection between limp-wristedness and homosexuality are you and a few others like you, socialists all, which is amusing.
When did you start becoming a homophobic bigot No Point?

Are you addressing the above to me MPC? 'Cos if you are I don't give a shit. I hope I have upset you because I despise you. I hope you fall back into the grip of fundamentalism from which you are struggling to extracate yourself.
I have never forgiven you for denying Christianity to soldiers, and I hope that you have a seriously unpleasant life for that reason.

Obviously he meant the "soft flabby ineffectual" definition. Anyone could tell that. Not.
And anyone who leapt to the more common "Usually Disparaging and Offensive.(of a man or boy) exhibiting feminine characteristics; effeminate; homosexual" one is free game for a round of "I know what you are but what am I?" from ol' deano. What fun. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

Well, if you'd prefer us to believe that you're a complete idiot who has managed to get through his life without ever hearing limp-wristedness as a metaphor for homosexuality, rather than a juvenile bigot, you can make that choice.

It pains me to spring to deano's defence, but I can understand how someone can use the term 'limp-wristed' to denote effeminacy in men, without necessarily implying any connection with homosexuality. Of course, the term is usually associated (disparagingly) with reference to gay men, and someone would have to be a bit naive to think they could use the term without that connotation, but c'mon, let's not be semantic fascists. We've got one resident fascist; we don't really need any more...
The definitions I have seen include (which I notice someone else has already mentioned):
Ineffectual; effete.
Usually disparaging and offensive: (of a man or boy) exhibiting feminine characteristics; effeminate; homosexual.
Soft; flabby.
Take your pick.
This conversation rather reminds me of my unforgivable sin against liberal fascism some time ago when I dared to use the past participle of the perfectly ordinary English verb "to retard". Apparently I sparked Armaggedon with that act of iniquity, and only deep contrition in sackcloth and ashes could save the world from total annihilation!

EE, the stupidity lies not so much in trying to use the phrase to denote something other than homosexuality. It lies in carrying on as if using it to denote homosexuality was a complete surprise and a strange invention of another Shipmate.
