[quote]I would love to know what he thinks about the "truth" behind 9/11.[/quote]I'm going to go out and a limb and say he is not part of the radical group of nut jobs that think the government blew up the towers.

It is a sad state of affairs and very disrespectful to those that died on 9/11.
I'm as liberal and open minded as they come, yet I personally consider "inside job" people the lowest common denominator in our society. They have just enough knowledge to be dangerous but not enough to carry on a conversation once facts are presented and a logical progression of events is entered into evidence.
Basically they pick and choose whatever sounds most ominous and completely remove context from reality while at the same time plugging their ears and jumping up and down screaming, to block out the sounds of coherent thought.
With that cleared up, I think it is time to move on to episode 6! :D
[quote]I can't wait to see next week's episode and I really hope that no one is mean to Katelynn. It's 2009 already and people need to just live and let live. She's transgendered, so what?[/quote]Exactly. But there are so many people that have a lot of growing up to do. I see so many hateful comments about Katelynn being transgendered on the Dailies site it's disgusting. A person on another site I go to wonders why people who make those hateful comments haven't been banned. I speculated that it's because most of those comments are coming from kids in MTV's viewing demographic, and MTV doesn't want to disappoint its fans by preventing them from posting.
I'm sure people say "They're just kids, they don't know what they're talking about" but I don't think their being kids is any excuse for hateful behavior and comments.

Does anyone know if Katelynn tells the men she talks to if she used to be a man or not? Specifically that guy she went out on a day date with in the last episode I think.[/QUOTE]
Moot point; they certainly know now. Personally, I can't see that it makes a difference. Of course, bigotry knows not gender, race nor age. Sometimes I wonder how we can see ourselves as being a civilized society.

That's your opinion and I respect that but I disagree 100%. I would point you to numerous fact videos and readings but im sure your mind is made up already. It's kool tho.

Of course it makes a difference. You wouldn't want to be kissing up on someone who you're thinking is a girl (born a girl) only to find out on TV that the person used to be a man. I would like to believe that she tells them and not being shady with it because she seems cool.

She is who she is and it's up to Katelynn who knows about it. End of that story.

Gifted1, you are full of shi t. There is not a single actual "fact" supporting any assertion that "9-11" was an "inside" job. You do incredibly serious dishonor to my friends who died at The Windows on the World at the top of the World Trade Center and those in 4th corridor of the Pentagon. I spent most of my adult life in the classified operations and intelligence world until 1999. If there were something venal to be uncovered, I would have seen it. There was plenty of stupidity prior to 9-11, but that's the fuel Washington runs on.
