Before we get another dozen posts of people saying whether or not they'd heard of cattle guards, it really doesn't matter because: 1) The first half of the facebook post is dedicated to explaining what a cattle guard is, so even the people mocking Obama for not knowing what they are don't actually expect people to have heard of them. 2) It didn't even happen in the first place because firing private ranch-hands is not Obama's job. It's actually kind of a clever image because, by making the "cattle guards" thing the ostensible point of the story, it's designed to try to get you to tacitly accept "Obama tried to fire 50000 private workers without even trying to understand the situation" as a completely plausible thing that happened if you only argue with it on the "there's no reason for most people to have heard of cattle guards" front and get derailed by that. Have this instead:

The enemy? Do they think Satan is literally putting evil thoughts in people's heads to destroy their marriages?

EDIT: ^^^^  Screenshot from a film called "The ABCs of Death" which is a horror anthology of 26 films each with a theme, alphabetized, by a bunch of international B-movie directors. SA did a review on it last month, I think. "F" is literally called "F is for Fart" and it is Japanese, and it is about farting. This is a thing. There's like 3-4 okay shorts, 20 awful ones, and a couple that are like a Serbian film.

Bertrand Hustle posted:The enemy? Do they think Satan is literally putting evil thoughts in people's heads to destroy their marriages? Probably. I've run into a few people who think their day to day is basically just Satan popping in to gently caress up their lives somehow all the time. I'd imagine "the enemy" could also be be stuff like counselors, advice books, TV shows etc. that might tempt you to consider divorce an option.

Noooo my mentally unstable libertarian facebook basket case seems to have deactivated his facebook account; Pretty much right on schedule for his bi-annual self hating pity parade. It'll probably be back up in a month. In the meantime though he is still infrequently posting on his other facebook account which is named after his d&d character. Here's an oldie but a goodie

Yeah, that's not even a super uncommon fundy belief really as a lot of moderate christians believe all temptation comes from the devil. Any time they have a bad day it's always satan loving with them, any time they have a good day they need to comment about how blessed they are. It's impossible to convince them that random chance has a part in anything they do. SheepNameKiller has a new favorite as of 16:17 on Jul 25, 2013 |

Are Christians who post things like this even aware that Pride is one of the seven deadly sins? Or does it just... not apply to them somehow?

What I've heard is once they got a poo poo load of likes they can turn around and sell the page (and account I guess) to an actual company who will change to sell their product. The idea is that there is an already an established audience. Seems pretty shady overall. Edit: Beaten

It's 2013 and he's on television flat out telling a black man to stop being uppity. Racism is dead!

The first half of the "piece" clearly indicates that, but it's been chopped off for the Facebook reposting. Also, gently caress Pat Buchanan forever.

Well it's about time that somebody came and spoke up for the poor white people, who have never been allowed to have a voice in conversations about race. Maybe one day we'll get to live in a world where any racially-charged national issue is dominated by white people wondering out loud why everything has to be about race and kindly letting everyone else know what is and isn't racist. Then we'll have true equality. I can't find it online, but I remember reading a study that consisted of men watching staged discussions on TV and then being asked about the gender makeup of the discussion. When the discussion was scripted so that men and women each had 50% of the dialogue, men interpreted the discussion as being dominated by women. They continued to interpret it as female-dominated until the percentage of women's dialogue dropped to below 10%, at which point it was proclaimed equal. I wonder if there is a racial analogue to this, as I've met a ton of white people who interpret every instance of a black person speaking on any serious topic as affirmative action gone mad, or as them dominating the discussion and making it all about race, or something similar. While we're on the topic of racism, my friend has some things to say about the plucky Irish!  Obviously the Irish have historically been dealt a lovely hand, particularly in their home country but also in the United States. Difference being that, unlike the black and Native American peoples who supposedly feel like they are "owed" something, they came here voluntarily, were not the subjects of organized, nationwide atrocities, and were fully assimilated into mainstream white American culture within two generations. But what do I know about the struggles of generic whiteys who think they probably had a half-Irish great-great grandmother? I didn't bother saying anything because she's one of those morons who thinks that anyone disagreeing with her opinion is infringing on her free speech, but what an rear end in a top hat.

Azrael Alexander posted:"Straight and Unashamed" would be a good username. I would also like to meet a straight person who was legitimately ashamed to be straight. Cause, you know, life is so hard for straight folks, right? Well, someone in my ethnic literature class frequently begins her comments with "of course, I'm ashamed to be a straight, white woman..." like it's basically a given. We all just kind of stare at her.

The seven deadly sins are not biblical in origin and are from the writings of a Christian monk, though they're loosely related to an old testament list of poo poo that God don't like. Bam, checkmate, drinks pure molasses in victory.

I wish I was still facebook friends with one of the ones I knew, his posts were the most mind-boggling array of 13-year-old girls in their underwear from anime fan pages, complaints about his terrible life, and conservative political memes even my redneck grandma would shake her head at. Basically if you can name a horrible fandom there are conservatives involved. Ahem.  Better suited for the awkward fanart thread but hey, I'm proving a point here

This was posted by some conservative girl I went to school with. She also had a post a month or so ago whining about how lonely she was at university because she was surrounded by liberals.  I'm a little shocked that it doesn't outright say "REVERSE RACISM"  somewhere in there.

Are these people literally so dense they don't see the difference between "horrible crime was committed, everyone was horrified and the perpetrators were caught, charged and sentenced" and "horrible crime was committed, a bunch of people say the innocent victim deserved to be killed and the perpetrator got of scot free"? Or is this deliberate misrepresentation where they are perfectly aware there's a difference but post it anyway to rile people up? Stupid or willfully manipulative?
