Didn't they have to basically keep a guard with Franklin when he went out for fun during the constitutional convention because the dude couldn't keep his mouth shut when he drank and like many people back then he drank like the apocalypse was coming.

So I've been getting this all over facebook: And I quite like it, not because of the message of course, but because it makes it so much easier to purge all the homophobes from my friends list.

This made me laugh pretty hard considering the woman that posted it works as a CNA and makes probably $8-$10 an hour. Or at least she used to a few years ago. She's literally part of the 50% of lazy bad Americans who don't pay any income taxes at all.

Lookit these socialist kids, trying to get the government to protect daddy's job. Obama ain't taking daddy's job little girl, the glorious free market and the natural gas boom is. Stop asking for government handouts. That's the appropriate response if you don't want to bring up coal is disgusting.

It's not the free market's fault, it's Obama and his damned EPA regulations!!!! That's how she'll reply if I comment. Either that or she'll just ignore me like she did the last time I tried to call her out on these dumb memes.

I can't decide which of those is more ridiculous. I mean - the toys (Obama steals blocks!).. what's the moral here? Go take (not build, just claim) all the toys while everyone is napping, and then they're yours forever? How would you suspend that thought long enough to hit forward on this e-mail (or whatever)? But the other one (little girl letter fantasy) makes a pretty good case too - it's just so pathetic. I mean, how much effort would it have been to actually write a letter with a crayon instead of using a crayon font? Or find an actual six year old to help you clumsily childify your banal talking point? According to the text at the bottom, someone paid to make this... I suppose they had to pay for the stock photo (http://www.fotosearch.com/FSD040/x17911988/). Or maybe that's why they desaturated and shrunk it, so that they could hide how they edited out the watermark. Stupid fake letter obviously - but they could at least put in a token effort on the delivery you'd think.

It's the same poo poo as those "The humane society spends too much money on lawyers and not on poor dogs and cats  " ads that were all over youtube and tv a while back. Paid for by a lobbying group that includes meat companies and industries that get sued because they try and get around regulations they are supposed to be following.

My uncle just discovered memes and its driving me up the wall, so I'm just going to post here so I don't post on Facebook. "Please hurt my neighbor who disagrees with me politically." "Thank you for respecting my desire to protect my family from gun violence by not starting a shootout on my front lawn."  "It's sad that there's so much hate and violence in this world that a person can't even drive to work without indirectly supporting the deaths of innocents."  "Get rid of all the stop signs because criminals are just going to ignore them anyway."

I like the second one because it assumes that buying fast food is the same as buying a product required for me to get to my job so that I can feed my family. Or that I buy gasoline because its something I want to do. Or that I can pick and choose where the oil I buy comes from, as opposed to it all getting mixed together.

So the other side DOES have them after all: A 50- something year old white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to a black man. Disgusted, the woman immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The woman said "I cannot sit here next to this black man." The fight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another seat." After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated "Ma'am, there are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class." About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated "The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make the switch to first class." Before the woman could say anything, the attendant gestured to the black man and said, "Therefore sir, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn't want you to sit next to an unpleasant person." Passengers in the seats nearby began to applause while some gave a standing ovation. And that black guy was Albert Einstein. And that flight attendant was ALSO Albert Einstein. And all of the passengers were... Albert... Oh God what is h a p p e n i n g... いおういおおいうい Tomahawk fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Jul 28, 2012 |

My uncle, who's currently in an interracial marriage, which would have been illegal in much of the US less than 50 years ago. Hell, the supreme court ruled anti-interracial marriage laws unconstitutional only 6 months before he was born. I considered pointing out the similarity between his situation and gay marriage, but learned long ago he's not worth the effort.

For the record, it is hard to grab just one ridiculous quote from Deuteronomy. I almost threw in some stuff about stoning your son if he doesn't listen to you, and one about how you should handle inheritance if you hate one of your two wives, but she bears your first son. (traditional marriage!!) Deuteronomy posted:22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Wives submitting verses

Well, yeah. They may be listed in a religious book, but they're still civil laws, and you have to know someone committed a crime to punish them for it. Deuteronomy has some loving horrible laws in it, including that one, but that's a really silly thing to criticize.

If you want to argue with people who know their poo poo you need to find stuff in the New Testament as most Christians (AFAIK) aren't expected to follow all the rules in the Old Testament. Does anyone know of any crazy rules in the NT?

There's some stuff in the epistles about how women must always cover their heads/hair when worshipping God, that sort of thing which gets mostly ignored except by certain sects, but aside from some prohibitions of 'sexual immorality' (a godsend to the anti-equal-marriage lobby) it's fairly free of crazy rules as far as I remember.
