You should tell him not to use iframes on their website (or at least not to use stupidly tiny iframes) and learn to make a form fillable PDF instead of distributing word docs.

Dear Mr Cave, if you do not release the bats we will be forced to take legal action

quote:

These (wrong) things have become 'normal' and 'acceptable' in our society today: abortion, euthanasia ('mercy' killings), other murder and violence, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, prostitution, drunkenness, 'recreational' drug-using, gambling, marriage/family break-ups, adultery, premarital sex, sex without commitment, pornography, greed, theft, lying, false news (media) - the list goes on!

I'm really curious what this is referring to since they already said abortion and euthanasia

Yeah, it's an idea that popped up in medieval Europe due to theologians putting together the ballsacks event ending in Ham receiving a curse, Genesis happening to detail where Noah's sons and their descendants dispersed to in order to repopulate the world with Ham going to the African continent, and the people there being black. It popped up a lot to justify African slavery as the specific curse (of Ham's son Canaan) was "a servant of servants he shall be unto his brethren", and survived long enough to be enshrined as canon in the Book of Mormon due almost certainly in no small part to the relevancy of the slave trade to the American colonists at the time.

9:20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
9:21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
