For all those who recognize that the power of love makes many people do things that make no sense whatsoever... It must now also be understood that the power of hate make some people do even more nonsensical things.

What would make a person buy a pair of shoes just because it was like the ones thrown at a person they hate?

I feel that many of the people who detest Bush and his party are being hypocritical in that they display even less allowance for diverse beliefs than they accuse others of having -- Before responding, please note that I said many... I did not say all or even most.


Does anyone know the type shoes the police and fire rescue personnel wore during 9/11 and other times? I want to go and order the same shoes as they wore... And I don't care how comfortable they feel on my feet.


... Sorry for the rant; I just don't understand people's minds at times.

I agree with most of what you have to say, but in the arab world throwing your shoes at someone is the ultimate insult. Even showing the soles of your feet is an insult. Its basically saying you're no better than the poop I walk on. Its about showing disgust. Yes the journalist was being unprofessional, but I liked it because Bush has done so much to cluster-(frank) everything, its a small measure of accountability. He deserves impeachment, but all he'll get is a shoe thrown at him and a roasting from mediocre comedians.

I realize the insult made towards Bush... My comment was mostly based on the question of 'why buy that particular shoe?'.

Is the insult not having a shoe tossed at him rather than the actual shoe? People who would buy and wear the shoe merely because of that, and not the comfort and style, are just dwelling on the hate they have.

I also find it sad that people detest Bush and the Republican Party claiming that the party is not tolerant of the beliefs of others... Yet these same people will not allow the opposition party to have their beliefs without being hated for it by them.

I find my country being slapped in the face, and my fellow citizens enjoying it because it was directed at an unpopular president... I would feel exactly the same no matter the US envoy or leader. But, hey, that's just me.

Ah... the playoffs.
