Hi I'm cartoonist Bruce Tinsley, You may know me from places like the funnies in the newspaper and my DUI trial. I am legally obligated to warn you that I have multiple restraining orders.

The NASDAQ crashed because investors collectively realized that page views wasn't translating into actual revenue as much as they expected it would and that tech companies were massively overvalued as a result. Are you being sincere, or did my pooling hatred against the sociopathic rich make me say something stupid again?

The only sane outlook on abortion is that it's one of the most loving awful things in this entire planet, in a perfect world no one should have abortions, and yet this is far from a perfect world and people do and will. So that's why it's important that it be legal and safely regulated. I mean, if the NRA of all groups has taught me anything, banning something won't necessarily stop it!

Jurgan posted:That was ten years ago. No, I think it's just standard Tinsleyism of representing minorities as dangerous animals. The "Hollywood" reference no doubt means that the PC elite produce movies where dangerous dark-skinned people turn out to have hearts of gold. The only recent example I can think of is The Blind Side. I thought it was meant to be: "Hollywood, internationally renowned for their sympathetic portrayals of Muslims."

Cat Mattress posted:"Does having our economy based on rapid consumption of non-renewable and massively polluting resources ever bother you?" No, because either: 1. God will provide for all of us forever, or 2. God created the world as a test for us and we were all doomed to failure anyway. Y'all need to read through that comic, though, just to see how tortured the language is.

Seriously, you cannot possibly fail to grasp that this is his point unless it took you like twelve attempts to fill in the forums registration form correctly. You can only be intentionally misinterpreting his perfectly sane and reasonable post to create a derail, which this thread doesn't need. As in, you don't need to go to that kind of effort in this thread. Just post a Latuff comic.

Rorus Raz posted:Western fundamentalists seem really keen on spreading their brand of Christianity to other countries these days, I guess because they have pretty much failed to do so in their own countries. It wouldn't surprise me to see anti-gay sentiment rising if that stuff takes off. I hear in China Christianity is growing, but I'm not sure what type exactly. My understanding is that variations of Protestantism are growing (or in some cases have remained) very popular with China's ethnic minorities. Converting to Christianity is viewed as a way to preserve their ethnic identity among CCP pushes for homogeneity and Han immigration. So it's not some much about fundamentalism or anything like that being the draw, it's the ability to "claim" something to show that you've not been assimilated.

I dunno, if an island is teeming with poisonous snakes, I'd like to at least have it labeled as such. Sure, they probably only attack out of being stepped on or otherwise provoked, but that's still not very good odds of getting off that island without punctures.

South Korea is 1/3 Christian of various stripes, ranging from mainstream Catholic/Protestant to Mega-church wackies and Moonies. I haven't been following the news there enough to know if American fundamentalists are trying to export anti-gay sentiment, but it really wouldn't surprise me if they were.
