Jesus these people are eagerly awaiting the apocalypse are they?

And what about that secret evacuation of the West coast? :ohdear:
Oh yes. They salivate over anything horrible that happens in the news. I keep an eye on the page for morbid comedy value (I like to be reminded of my upbringing), and the worse an event is, the happier they are over it. Especially if it involves people aren't white dying. I'm not even kidding. They want horrible thing to happen because A) it's a punishment for the non-whites and non-Christians, and B) they really want Jesus to come whisk them away from this world of homosexual Muslim atheist Mexicans.

EDIT! Here are selected comments from an article they posted on a bald eagle being shot, which was apparently Obama's fault and predicted by multiple preachers' dream visions. The picture wasn't gory, just an eagle lying on a table with a respirator, but I've covered it anyway.

When did these "your e-cards" become so drat popular for these types of macros? Why did these "your e-cards" become so drat popular for these types of macros?
Is your message of "I don't actually understand your argument nor the issue at hand" really that much more powerful when it's next to a picture of a bored looking woman?

Guys, I think one of my friends from high school has joined a cult.



For context; she's on some sort of trip with a group called "Crusade for Christ". Her family had to spend a good deal of money to send her on this. The trip entails going to the Jersey Shore and proselytizing to people on the beach (I'm sure that'll go over well) while also sometimes working... somewhere. I think they're going to work at a gift shop but her parents weren't positive on that. The part that weirds me out, though, is that this Facebook post is not like her at all. She has always been religious but has never been a "God is love, tee hee sisters in christ!" kind of person. It almost feels like someone has hacked her Facebook page to post that. :psyduck:

It boggles my mind that you can even like your own status. It probably speaks volumes about the people who designed facebook in an unnecessarily analytical way. When will I be able to Like my own liking of my own status, so I can begin my own self-approval fractal that is Likes all the way down.

1. This is just the simplest form of the argument we've been all hearing for ages, which is just "No, don't you get it? Feminism is about FEMALE SUPREMACY. I'm the one who actually wants equality (as long as women stay pure and chaste and don't try to run the household or the government or :words:)". It's a shame a group with a somewhat clever name is posting poo poo like this.

2. I like how both your SA avatar and your profile pic are Achewood. I'm not being sarcastic, I actually like it.

There's one guy on my Facebook who only has about 35 friends and who likes each and every one of his own statuses, photos, check ins, whatever. He's a nice guy in real life, but it's the loving saddest thing to see on Facebook. This has happened for months, the only other people who ever reply to his posts are his mom and his former roommate.

Who loving cares about his sex life? I think the main thing you need to remind him about the Amazing Atheist is that he is an angry piece of poo poo who gets unreasonably upset over the tiniest things, and is horribly misogynistic.

Yeah, it's one of those classic word problems that sort of screw with your perception of the numbers in play. Like 'I'm in a race and pass the guy in last place, what position am I in?' You take the facts presented to you as simply as possible, and produce the wrong result because you forgot the context.

Welp, here's something that has been blowing up in my Facebook feed for the last several hours. Sorry in advance about the length. Normally I would manually edit it myself rather than using Social Fixer, but there's no loving way I'm going through all of this manually.

It starts out civil enough, with the OP posting an article and a few people explaining their stance with just a few lovely jokes, but nothing too major. Then #8 gets into an argument with #9 (the only person I actually know personally), and the whole thing turns to pure, unbridled poo poo from start to finish.





This poo poo went on for 342 posts. :suicide:

This article was shared on my feed unironically. It explains that Obama could have been high on coke while Benghazi was going down--explaining everything! Except there isn't anything even remotely factual in the article.

When five or so people commented, calling him out for how the article literally reads like it belongs on The Onion but is totally serious and that he is dumb for sharing it, he deleted them all and kept the article posted. :allears:
