I was in the hospital, recuperating from surgery. So I had something of a ringside seat with the T.V. Very, very sad.

And the crew was a nice mix of Americana; different races & religions represented, both genders on board.

My room-mate's doctor had tears in his eyes.

Cal:  As for the rest of you, I'm sorry you feel that way.  I really don't know who the mud-slinging is directed at, considering that Cindy bashed my point with her "socioeconomic fact". 

*I "bashed" your point, huh?  On the contrary, I was being more than polite and reasonable with you than you deserve.

Facts are facts.  I didn't blame YOU for the socioeconomic fact.  Would you be content to make 24 cents less for every dollar a woman earns, for equal work?  No, you wouldn't.  You wouldn't tolerate less pay for equal work...why should I?  You keep missing the point that I don't blame you personally for the situation, and continue to be defensive and hostile.  Some day, when you grow up, you might marry and be glad, at that point in time, that your wife has equal pay for equal work -- which would mean more money for you and your household too, in case you miss my point.  Equal pay for equal work BENEFITS EVERYONE -- YOU included. 

Cal:  I suppose if all this forum is good for is getting your Jerry Springer "if-that-was-my-man-I'd-throw-his-butt-out" time

*Nice example of projection of blame on your part.  No, these forums have been good for many things -- not withstanding your increasingly rude, combative attitude.

Cal:  then maybe I will leave this behind. 

*Do what you think is best. 

I've written my last post to you, Cal.  I won't argue with children.

--Cindy

Good post Cindy.

I've been reading New Mars Forums off-register for a while now. I have a few comments. Cal, you are way out of line. No one here is calling you a sexist, KKK, racist, whatever. Soph's right-- you're doing that to yourself. You also deliberately lie about what a Mars Society member is saying, twisting things around, trying to put her in a bad light. I think it's time you straighten up your act or hit the road.

All Mars Society members here have been more than gracious & patient with you. The dues we M.S. members pay helps keep all this afloat; so show a little respect & grow up, or leave.

And here's one for you to chew on Cal:

One of the primary characteristics of Narcissism is an inability for ego differentiation; you just can't understand it when people aren't talking about you. 

Think that over.  And quit attacking people & casting aspersions on them because you either can't or won't understand where they're coming from, and why.
