...I didn't know the GIRL POEM was going to offend anyone. I thought it was humourous, and thought people would get a laugh. Sorry. I hope the hut can forgive me. :-)

I think the point was made - this should be over with.

After all, what's the point of the hut if we snark at each other while reposing here?

[rockstarbob.livejournal.com]

agreed! but maybe stuff like that would be better if posted in other communities, no?

Re:

[wyliekat.livejournal.com]

True - there are better communities to post this sort of thing in.

No arguments about the substance of the commentary made. Just about the quantity.

Re:

[lunahalo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I still feel guilty about offending y'all. :-) I hope I'm forgiven.

well, sure, I can forgive you if I think you understand WHY that was offensive. Stereotypes are really never good, even if they look like they're stereotyping a "positive" thing. Every time you give voice to a stereotype you justify its existance to those who beieve that it is true. The less often we voice them the better a place the world will be. That's not "political correctness" - it's intelligence.

Yes, I see exactly what you're saying. Thank you for your forgiveness!!

Re:

Ok...I agree. I do hope no one holds a grudge, though. I hate pissing people off, only when they deserve it do I enjoy doing such, but yesterday wasn't one of those times. :-) Thanx.

Re:

I don't think there is any reason for anyone to hold a grudge. Not everyone is going to like what everyone else has to say (or even like their sense of humour). Gawd, what a saccharine world it would be if we all did - sickening.

Don't sweat it - we're hutting in harmony, yes?

Re:

[lunahalo.livejournal.com]

Yes, we are. Thanx so much for being so understanding. If more people followed your example, the world would probably be a helluva lot better!!!

Oops, someone shoot me, I thought it was funny

Re:

[lunahalo.livejournal.com]

Thanx. I'm glad!! That's what it was intended to do, make people laugh.

[yellowrosetx.livejournal.com]

I thought it was funny too, but hey.... I'm premenopausal and have teenagers, I find a lot of things amusing anymore that I didn't when I was younger.

Re:

[lunahalo.livejournal.com]

LOL Glad you liked it. Hey, I like your icon!!!

[yellowrosetx.livejournal.com]

Thanks, the ribbon is in honor of my eldest daughter, Jessica. She is a Petty Officer serving aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt and presently in or headed to the Persian Gulf.

Re:

My daughter's name is Jessyka. How strange is that!! I hope she's alright, and I hope she gets through this ok, as do you. *HUGZ*

Re:

[yellowrosetx.livejournal.com]

Wow... interesting coincidence. That's first time I have seen the name spelled Jessyka!

I hope that all of those in service to their countries at this time will return to their loved ones safely.

::hugs::

*HUGZ* Jessyka is rather unique. I came up with it when I was almost ready to have her. Her dad and I were talking about names, and he said he liked the name Jessica, so I got bored one night and decided to fool around with the different ways it could be spelled. That's what I came up with. :-) I've actually had people ask me how to pronounce it!! LOL

As for the service-persons, I agree, I am hoping for a safe return for all of them. *HUGZ*
