7. I am rarely flame worthy, my posts get little notice...
but thanks for the warning. :hug: and kudos for finding and posting earlier, sorry I missed it then!

Here is my stock reply to all flames:

from the site, of course...

Despite the statements of some of our more Bitter Heartless Bitches, Heartless Bitches International is NOT about Man-Hating. We don't discriminate against stupidity, arrogance, irresponsibility, bloated egos, or immaturity on the basis of gender.


Has HBI got you all hot under the collar? Before you run off in a snit, ready to send email detailing the extent of your ire, look up the words "irony", "satire" and "caricature" in the dictionary....

9. satire?
The use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.

The vice I would denounce is heartlessness. Is that the vice they are denouncing? I do not think so.

11. it's not okay to me
How can a decent person love that?

"wail on the losers of either gender."

This is supposed to be funny? How?

12. because it's an exaggeration.

I don't take it literally. There are those among us that piss us off, irritate, disappoint, and generally need some ribbing. I am sometimes among that group, I think everyone is sometimes- and we are not beyond ridicule when that happens.

I think it's funny. if you think that makes me a bad person, then I guess I am a heartless bitch.

how could anyone not love this heartless bitch?

Dorothy Day - tireless activist and worker for social change, women's right to vote, and pacifism, she founded the Catholic Workers Movement, and fed and housed thousands of homeless and needy during the depression and beyond. Jailed on more than one occasion for her "acts of conscience" she lived her life with purpose until the day she died. Though some want her cannonized, her most memorable words on the subject were, "Don't call me a saint. I don't want to be dismissed so easily."

5. I know you mean well, but...
..I can't read this thread's title without the melody to Eddie Rabbitt's "I Love a Rainy Night" getting stuck in my head.

Of course, I like the lyrics of this new updated version better.
