Fucking God I Hate This Crap, Make It Stop

Whaaaat?! :eek:

If a stem cell’s wasted - God gets quite irate.

(And now I have a Monty Python song running through my head.)

I solve the problem of receiving whackjob emails by just not reading them. I skim the forwarded emails for cat pictures and if there aren’t any I don’t read it.

Since we already have a similar plan here in Massachusetts, I took a look at my income tax instruction booklet (hmmm, I can probably throw that away). It seems as if Massachusetts just lets you check off the box for a religious exemption if you have a sincerely held religious belief against having insurance. There are penalties if you get medical care anyway.

Looking online, I saw that around 9000 people claimed a religious exemption, accounting for 5.5% of the uninsured. This link may work.

I got an even better one for ya. This one came yesterday:

Okay, you win the crazyoff.

Just tell him you converted to Islam. He’ll never talk to you again.

Years ago I knew this guy who really did think of himself as this Great and Powerful Occult Magician, ultimately so powerful that he called himself variously a Dragon or a Titan. He kept claiming credit for various disasters after the fact, claiming to have created them in order to “punish” nations for this or that. He would cite biblical and other religion ‘wrath of god’ type things as his model for doing such things.

As I told him then and I would say to the people creating these emails: What does one thing have to do with the other? How would a people afflicted by oppresive heat or an oil refinery accident have CLUE ONE that this was “God” punishing them for their involvement in Iraq, or giving equal rights to gays, or any number of other alleged sins? Where’s the connection between these two things? If we’re pulling shit out of our asses to ASSUME that God is punishing us for something, why not assume that it’s because we’re dumbasses who are NOT giving equal love and rights to gays and muslims? Or because we’re polluting the Earth and killing his creatures, or any number of other stupid things we do every day of the week? Because seriously, if I thought God was punishing us for anything at all with this shit and that he randomly punished us in ways that had NO CONNECTION AT ALL to the original crime or sin, then my only conclusion would be that God is a fucking moron. Is that truly your vision of God?

As for what happened to Delusion Boy, he became convinced that the mini-strokes and periodic memory losses he was experiencing were signs that he was physically transforming into something greater, and died of a heart attack in his early 30’s. Unfortunately, the people who cast their delusions upon their image of God will do us no such favors.

That’s kinda true. If you are (for example) a Quaker of long standing, you can get out of the draft. You’ll probably be harassed a great deal and then spend your “army time” emptying bed pans in some hospital, but religious pacifists can avoid some types of military service.

A sib used to forward chain emails to me with all of the cc addresses. I gave a negative retort to one and sent it to all of his addresses. He no longer includes their addresses, and it’s mostly animal pix, etc.

I can haz non Marskist Soshulis Musselman Prezident ?

I forbid my mom from sending political emails (actually, I did add the priviso that she could send ones that were TRUE… but I guess none of them were, because they stopped altogether). But I do let her send Cute Baby Animal Photi.

Well, thanks – now I’m going to sleep with one eye open, just waiting for sneaky LOLcat Tea Party emails…

I is in your Inbox, messin wit Yer Prezdident…

Serves you right for using “photi” as a plural of “photo”.

Actually, everyone is exempt from the draft. Because we don’t have a, you know, draft.

And if we did have a draft it would have to be enacted by congress, and the rules by which people were exempt or excluded from the draft would depend on whatever congress legislated, not on what the rules were back in the 70s.

Ooh, sorry – vocational drawback due to being a teacher, a grammar nazi, a photographer, a designer (I also say logi)…

… and a smartass.

Apologii accepted

I forgot about this thread, and when I clicked on the new post button, this was the first one I saw. I thought we were going to be having a “I hate people who deliberately use English improperly” thread.

And I was going to point out that on YouTube of all places, I’ve gotten exactly one reply like that. So maybe you guys are winning.

But alas, if I posted that now, I’d look stupid.
