Honestly, a lot of the wedding traditions are stupid and this is kind of great because it's just so dumb and memorable. My fiance and I are not having a wedding cake either, but instead are going to have a wheel of Ossau-Iraty cheese, with a smaller wheel of fourme d'ambert on top of that, with an even smaller wheel of Gevrik on top of that. This couple may have a cake as well or they may just be going with a cheap joke thing because who really cares about wedding cake. I find this one hilarious because it's just so dumb; a god drat ketchup fountain, it's so incredible.

Nah, my fundie grandpa used to recycle 40 years ago. Not for the environment though, heavens no, he was no hippy. He would bundle up all the family's newspapers and tin cans and sell them, because having lived through the great depression that seemed like a good use of his time.

There are some Christians that believe god made the world for us to use and exploit, and that the notion that we could destroy the world through neglect and wasteful practices means He made a mistake and we lowly humans are powerful enough to ruin His plans. It's heretical to want to recycle soda cans or use lower-emission cars or ask companies to not dump toxic chemicals into lakes and poo poo because that means we're showing God we think he hosed up. Some people are really loving stupid.

Recycling is unchristian because it's liberal. If you want to do one bad thing, you want to do all bad things, and all the things you do are bad. Look at one of the Conservapedia

Look, liberalism is the opposite of conservatism. Conservatives are Christians and believe in the concept of a moral good, therefore liberals don't believe in moral goodness and are evil.

Gay rights are generally believed in by liberals. Liberals are people who want the government to do a thing, just like Communists. Since the Holocaust was carried out by the German government, this means they were also liberals, and every government program, from the FDA to Medicaid to paved roads, is a possible precursor to a new Holocaust. Since environmentalists often advocate for regulations, they're just like Nazis and Communists seizing the property of rich people. Not only that, culture in Nazi Germany involved a lot of rhetoric about returning to some idyllic pastoral life. This demonstrates that modern hippies are direct descendents of Nazis.

Now, since we've demonstrated that environmentalism is a position held by evil liberals, it follows that conservatives (who are obviously all Christians) must oppose it.

It's so simple, even an insane idiot can understand.

Whoa, seriously? Is this a Bible Belt thing? Because it sounds insane. I have a good friend who's deep into some kind of version of Christianity. He once told me I'm not really a Christian (because I'm Catholic :shrug:), but he recycles, so I dunno.

In America right now, being a Republican is primarily about money for rich oil tycoon types. So you have to justify to yourself and your primarily Christian voters that gluttonous consumption of fossil fuels isn't wrong. The Republican Party and conservative Christians have been intertwined for so long that not only have the Christian contempt for gays and women who have sex become policy, but also Republican positions on big government and the environment and the social safety net have wormed their way into church dogma.

Not a rumor. Razors in apples and poisoned candy is/was a real thing.

It's just that kids weren't getting these things from strangers. They were getting them people in their neighborhood. From parents.

Their own parents, usually.

Errr...it has happened a few times (almost always from someone the child knew, never from random strangers), but it's definitely not worth mentioning as "a thing". The public knowledge that you should scour your child's candy and throw away anything unwrapped, lest they be poisoned, is a pretty dumb cultural meme.

Nope!

quote:

In a 1974 case, Timothy O'Bryan, an 8-year-old boy from Deer Park, Texas, died after eating a cyanide-laced package of Pixy Stix. A subsequent police investigation eventually determined that the poisoned candy had been planted in his trick-or-treat pile by the boy's father, Ronald Clark O'Bryan, who also gave out poisoned candy to other children in an attempt to cover up the murder. The murderer, who had wanted to claim life insurance money, was executed in 1984

A lot of more liberal areas recycle so it gets lumped into leftist policy. Which is odd since socialist and communist countries are some of the worst polluters.

There's also this idea that no one should tell a red blooded American man what to do. I remember back in, I think 2004, talk show host Sean Hannity went on multiple rants about his right to drive really big trucks. Conservative politics are often focused on the individual, so the idea of consuming less for a collective good is likened to wiping your rear end on Old Glory.

It's not that way everywhere though. I live in a red part of a red state and we've got a great recycling program (they even take steel!).

There may have been a scrap place that would BUY your paper and aluminum (not glass though, glass is worse than worthless). The catch being that you have to haul it there yourself and it is pennies per pound, so you need a whole car full of stuff to make it worth the trip. Right wingers aren't actually opposed to scrap recycling, they just think it should be voluntary and for profit, not something imposed by government.
