I agree with @1, avoid using gender-negative insults... if you do use it, it mildly implies that you hate/disrespect the body part in question

I totally agree.
Can us dog-haters come out of the closet now?

@6 It's overcompensation designed people who secretly are afraid that lady parts might be ugly and so need to constantly be doused in flowers and chocolate and froofyness. Contrast that with man parts, where ugliness or beautyness isn't even a thing. Eventually, we'll get there with lady parts too. (Full disclosure, I think L.P.'s are wonderfully awesome and super attractive in all their detail and variety).

@1: Great cause in principle, but watch out, it's founded by the No.2 of the Raelian Cult: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigitte_Bo…

Damn, I wish I could edit my posts. People can also be poor because they have a super cool and awesome job that just so happens to not be rewarded by the vagaries of capitalism.

@9: I have as well. It depends on the reason why local people are poor. If they are poor because they are students, or just bad luck, then it's awesome and fine. If, on the other hand, they are poor because they have multiple compounded issues and problems, it's not quite as good to be right next to them.

While I am a card carrying democrat, and while I do not live anywhere near Seattle, and do not necessarily have the faintest idea what I am talking about, I will say this:
I am a cheapskate and I live in a very cheap place in an otherwise wealthy neighborhood. I am happy with it, on balance. Everything is crammed very tightly together. And so, I am often woken up from sleep or distracted from my relaxation by my neighbors' very loud yelling arguments: ambiguous bdsm scene/domestic violence/arguing about drugs or money or paying the rent/unending stream of profanity. And it feels as though if I were in a more expensive place where the houses were spaced farther apart, this wouldn't happen. These annoy me, but I like saving money, and I am kind of poor myself, so I tolerate it.
So, from that point of view, I can understand the idea that if you have plenty of money to spend, having sudden new cheap, cramped-together housing in your already-paid-for neighborhood might legitimately not be something that you want.
However, I'm still very new to the whole housing/zone debate so I'm sure I've made some thought-errors, feel free to correct me.

o_o I'm starting to find it hard to believe that we live in the same country as people. It's like they have no critical thinking skills at all.
They value arbitrary traditional rules more than simple bodily & mental health...how do you even think that way?

@3, in one of your articles, a bookshelf fell on a child. A bookshelf is a tool designed to hold books. A gun is a tool designed to murder. Which makes more sense to ban?
