People, please - these petty differences are tearing us apart. Surely we can all agree society will collapse if homos are allowed to get married. THEY CAN’T HAVE BABIES!
But… But… THEY WILL ADOPT! WHAT SHALL WE DO?! Taking kids out of the child welfare system.. OH NOES!!!
Yeah, I hear police routinely get called in to those physical altercations caused by narrow hallways.
The true injustice is that the walls never get arrested… only the people do.
I am 51 years old. My mother was born in 1935, the third of five children, to a farmer in Central Florida. All of the children finished high school while working the farm. As the children grew up and left for careers, Grandpa sold down the land.
The last acreage was sold upon his death in 1979.
I consider your ignorance fought.
Somebody just got punked or Rick Rolled or chez burgered ( I can’t keep all this kiddy internet lingo straight anymore).
They got mario-brothered, I think.
I was thinking Froggered but you may be right.

No one takes you seriously if you trudge around on foot all the time, and chariots are passe.
Oh it certainly is true. My Granmother who recently died at the age of 86 had nine siblings. They grew up in a small town in Oklahoma on a farm and she told me that was the exact reason why she has so many siblings because her parents could not afford to pay for farm helpers.
As Chairman Mao said, “Every mouth comes with two hands.”
I believe another issue is that god finds chariots too be a wee bit on the heavy side.
I don’t go to David’s church and have no intention of living by his ridiculous rules.
And what the hell does this planet need with more large families when there are more than 7 billion people NOW? I’m so OVER listening to crybaby religious whining about the War on Christmas and the nerve of some of us not wanting to partake in delusional tantrums about persecution because some other damn fool doesn’t have “in god we trust” smeared all over his house and clothes.
I don’t believe in the war on Christmas and it would have been WON by the people who start putting Christmas displays up in AUGUST. Since people like Dave are over civilization- get the fuck off the internet TO go live in a goddamned cave, and do PLEASE let the doors hit you on the way out. Pound sand, Dave!
You’re right, of course. I should have said, “or your grandparents were fucking sociopaths.” Nice to know that your mother was only brought into the world to put food in someone else’s mouth, though.
This works best if you imagine the HAL9000 saying it.
I am referring to America, and not the world. America’s birthrate is declining and that is a situation we need to address. When the actual population starts to drop, it will be cause for serious alarm.
Next you impute complaints on the war on christmas to me, when I said nothing even similar. My comment was about two people who agree on religious rules to govern their marriage so that the government is not imposing secular values on what many view to be a religious matter.
Of course this needs balanced. As one poster suggested, does this include Sharia Law? It would have to, but of course in balancing this we would have to ignore Sharia’s allowance of violence, for instance, as this country has always viewed that this country does not allow religious freedom to excuse violence against others. Religious freedom has always been limited to such.
I refer more to ideas like grounds for divorce. If two people knowingly and intelligently choose to govern themselves by Jesus’ views on divorce, why should you care, unless your motivation is to eliminate religion in marriage. It’s their choice and does not affect you.
So if you do not agree, you are not in danger.
perhaps you do not agree with my right to free speech being expressed on the internet, but your would be censorship is even less admirable in western culture tha the idea that two people agreeing in religion cannot exercise it in their marriage. In my view, that is imposing secular values on people who have religious values.
But if you wanna advocate that, go right ahead.
See what happens when we stop charging for membership?
There’s no such thing as free speech on a privately owned message board. Nor does free speech mean that other people don’t have the right to tell you what they think of your views.
Hell, I’m only 21 years old and it’s true. My parents were born to farm families in 1963 and 1964. My mother has 8 siblings, my father has 6.
ETA: Oh, I see I didn’t read all the way through the thread, and you’ve already preemptively insulted my grandparents. Thanks.
I’m impressed. David42 comes back on, manages to cleverly avoid the questions asked by several posters, and creates his very own freedom of speech strawman.
The weird is strong in this one.
