I want to commit suicide.
I think doctor assisted suicide should be legal and readily available to all, with safeguards to prevent impulsive acts.
I love Egg Nog & Fruit Cake.
Cats should become the mascot of choice of all teams & schools.
The Cat should replace the Bald Eagle as the symbol of this Great Nation.
Thisemblem should adorn all our money.
CAThedral of Fuzziness should become the State Religion.
Instant coffee is quite drinkable.
I do not generally believe or accept that our current troops are heroes deserving my respect. I lean more toward viewing them as victims and many are more deserving of compassion.
Tomato ketchup is an excellent condiment to put on hot dogs.
Cooking a hamburger any way other than well done is disgusting and dangerous and I can’t abide anyone who does it. If I’m cooking hamburgers for you, you’re getting it well done or you’re not getting one cooked by me at all.
That being said, I always order my steaks rare. But if you want yours well done, I’ll cook it for you that way.
The “corporate person” concept is what empowers Enron, Halliburton, and the Moral Majority.
But it is also what empowers the ACLU, the NAACP, and Amnesty International.
Things are getting better every day.
Voting actually doesn’t do jackshit, and people delude themselves into thinking it does. As long as Big Business is in bed with politics the average Joe can’t change anything.
On the other side of that token, this is the best of all eras to live, out of the eras that have happened so far. (There may be better ones in the future).
My blasphemous opinion is that our founding fathers didn’t design our government to be efficient or to help people. They designed it to pit ambitious men against one another to control the mischief one man can get up to. If a law gets passed that might be useful in some way, fine, but the important point is that the power hungry fill their time contending with one another and leave the rest of us alone. So, our government is horribly inefficient by design.
I argued this about the people of the Soviet Union with a friend, a provost at a major university no less, many years ago. He believed the people of the SU were fundamentally different from Americans and they all wanted to overpower and crush us. Not just the leaders but the guys sweeping the streets, working in the coal mines and farming the land. They were all somehow intent of getting rid of America, their sworn enemy. I had no way of proving otherwise. It was kind of sad.
Property is theft
You shouldn’t use violence even to save your own life.
Kids should get most of their schoolwork done in school, in normal hours, excessive homework and too many hours in school are signs of a broken schooling system, not something to be admired (e.g. Japan) Finland is a good model to use.
If you actually like reality TV, you’re certifiably an idiot.
If your child or children are on public assistance and you get pregnant again, you should be forced to have an abortion and/or sterilized.
I realise that, yes. I suppose I was just grumbling about all the “I won’t believe corporations are people until Texas executes one” guff that keeps showing up in my FB feed.
No-one is claiming corporations are people. It’s just useful (in some circumstances) to act as if they are. That, for example, is why the FBI can’t raid the offices of the ACLU whenever someone feels like doing so.
Really? What religion was Mao? What religion was Stalin?
Who got slavery abolished in England- Bible thumpers like Wilberforce, or intellectual skeptics like Hume? Who fought to get slavery abolished in the USA? Bible-thumpers like Henry Ward Beecher or cerebral free-thinkers like John C. Calhoun?
If Abraham were alive today he would have been diagnosed as schizophrenic, he and his wife would have been brought up on charges of child abuse, his sons removed from the home and his mistress would be on welfare.
If Andrea Yates had done what she did 2000 years ago, she would have been considered a great prophet and humanity would be bowing down to whatever voices she thought she heard.
True blasphemy!!
The Supreme Court disagrees. Since they get to decide how to interpret the constitution and you don’t…
You missed this one

None of that is actually blasphemous (except perhaps your desire to commit suicide).
Nutty, but not blasphemous. Liked the cat emblem.
You’re welcome to visit my house on hot dog nights!
What can I add…well-done steaks are an abomination. So are casseroles.
To be fair, it depends on the ingredients. Some people insist it ain’t casserole unless it includes cream of mushroom soup ( :barf: )
