What is Horse Shit - Post Your Feelings
It is horse shit that you have to worry about being politically correct by keeping your political affiliation to yourself at gatherings, meetings. I am a "democratic socialist." If people don't agree with that, they can argue about it and I enjoy a good debate.

I'm also a "Gun loving Idaho Liberal." I hate fundamentalism and the far right but I'm not anti religion.

I think anyone who is still a republican and in favor of Bush must be delusional or stupid and I will listen to all opposing points of view. But, I will never keep my feelings to myself. That is Horse Shit.

Regardless of who is in the white house and who is in control of congress I have a right to speak my mind even of some people are offended. All others have the right to speak their mind even if I think they are full of it.

Political correctness is horse shit. What is your version of horse shit.

2. In my experience, horse shit is the BEST natural fertilizer.
If you don't believe me, put out some horse shit in a spot where you can never get grass to grow. Go back the next spring or early summer, put down plenty of grass seed and water it down. You'll be amazed at the lush grass that will grow there.

4. Horseshit is a little more subtle and nuanced than bullshit.
"Oh, come on now, that's horseshit and you ought to know that." versus "That's bullshit you fucker, and you know it."

13. Those quotes weren't directed at you.
They were just supposed to be (humorous) examples how the words could be used. Just having fun, no harm meant. :)

10. Religion is Horse Shit
Unless it is my religion
Politics is horse shit
Narcissism is horse shit
Potatoes are horse shit.

I am the God of horseshit.
"Do not attempt to adjust your computer"
I can change the focus to a soft blur.
Or sharpen it to christal clarity"

All things are good - Horse shit is sacred and divine.

Oh I think I might be changing into Carl Rove

12. My recent thinking about "tolerance"

The notion of "I don't agree with you but I respect your opinion" doesn't seem all that workable, since there are opinions that I don't respect.

"I don't agree with you, and I don't respect your opinion, but I'm not going to yell, scream, shout, become violent, or violate your rights" seems like it might be a better standard.

Not all opinions are equally valuable, and the "I respect your opinion" thing seems to artificial inflate opinions that are not worth horse shit.

So, I think we agree on the "even if some people are offended" part. I'm sure that some of my opinions are offensive to some set of others as well.

We don't have to like each other in order to get along on some basic level.

19. Equidae - Horses, Asses, Zebras - AKA Conservatives
Return Home Family Equidae
Horses, asses, and zebras

The equids are the most numerous and widely-distributed group of modern perissodactyls, although only one genus and seven species survive to the present day (an eighth, Equus quagga, was lost to extinction in 1883). The current distribution of the Equidae - open habitats of Eastern and Southern Africa and regions of Asia - is significantly reduced from former times, a pattern seen amongst all perissodactyls. Modern horses are well adapted to the grasslands, steppes, and deserts that they inhabit; their teeth are high-crowned to cope with coarse vegetation and their limbs are long and slender, with just a single toe, for increased running efficiency.
The first equid - Hyracotherium from the early Eocene - was a small, unspecialized, forest-dwelling ungulate. As grasses evolved and began dominating open territory, some equids moved from forests to grasslands to take advantage of this new food source, upon which they would become highly successful. The principal radiation of the Equidae occurred in the New World during the Miocene; fossils show a distinct trend towards a cursorial existence (longer legs with fewer digits) and increased adaptations to grazing. However, the diversity of Miocene horses (up to 20 genera have been described) did not continue into the Pliocene, potentially due to the rise of the ruminants. The modern genus Equus first appeared around 2 million years ago in North America, and is now the last remnant of this family. Due to the completeness of the fossil record and the presence of many intermediate forms, horses are frequently used to demonstrate the principles of evolution.

With just a single hoofed toe on each foot, horses represent an extreme in cursorial adaptation. The general form of equids - including a large, blockish head, sturdy neck, and long legs - is easily recognizable. A characteristic bristly mane is found on the nape of the neck, and the tail has a long tassle. The orbit and temporal fossa of the skull are completely separated by a post-orbital plate. The teeth are high-crowned and have complex enamel grinding surfaces, enabling horses to consume the coarsest vegetation. The dental formula is I 3/3, C 0-1/0-1, P 3-4/3, M 3/3 x 2 = 36-42. The canines, usually present only in males, are small and spade-shaped.

21. Some work related horseshit...
Edited on Wed May-21-08 03:12 PM by primate1
People who don't want to do their jobs so they pawn the work off onto people in other departments.

Customers who can't follow instructions.

Customers who get indignant when their problem requires some legwork from them for the problem to be resolved.

Customers.

A bus system in the city that shuts down after 12:30AM forcing me to get cabs home from work every night.
