I lovehate that Caitlyn Jenner one. Is that her? I assume but I'm not sure. If it is her, she's on your side you dumb motherfucker. Also the fact that it's photoshopped to *hell*.

fundies don't believe that other religions are just made up of people who have different ideas and traditions about God, they believe all other religions were created by the devil and are some form of purposeful devil worship. Sharia law is "godless" because the devil made it up, and the people who say it's from God aren't just wrong, they're lying in order to trick other people into worshipping the devil too.

It's the same reason they get mad about poo poo like kids learning about other religions in school, if your kid write something like "There is no God but God and Mohammed is His prophet" on a test to answer a question, they've just invoked a magic spell that gives the devil power over them!

That was the document that said the government can make you a slave to be sold at auction right

quote:

In the past two months, the governments of the world have undertaken to divide the people they rule into two classes. Although their measures vary in a number of ways, all such divisions boil down to dividing the people into (A) those who deserve to live at minimal risk and (B) those who do not deserve to exercise their natural rights to life, liberty, and property, so that those in class A can live at minimal risk. The language is of course seemingly unobjectionable, distinguishing essential from nonessential services and businesses, but the hasty process of making this distinction -- a task undertaken by a handful of government flunkies and bureaucrats --- ensures that it is more or less arbitrary and in some cases wildly mistaken; in a vast, complex system of intricately interconnected properties, processes, and transactions, how could it possibly be otherwise?

In class B are all those people whose very survival, not to mention their plans, dreams, and aspirations, has been put at grave risk. It didn't have to be this way. Those who are especially vulnerable to the coronavirus might have been protected well enough, indeed, better than they were, without crushing hundreds of millions of innocent, productive individuals by virtue of the rulers' lack of imagination and intelligence. No one ought to have the power to do what these rulers have done to people. And as we step back and survey the enormous destruction they have already wrought, destruction which is sure to grow in the coming weeks and months as it ripplies outward through the global economy, we see clearly how little these ruling princes and princesses deserve our allegiance.

They and their ideological supporters will claim, of course, that what they have done has saved us all. Don't believe this implausible, fear-fed claim. There was a better way, a way that would have respected and employed the people's freedoms and knowledge, but that way would not have satisfied the rulers' lust for power. Indeed, it would have revealed that the less power they exercise, the better off is the general public.

They don't care, they hate LGBT people even if they are Republicans

Caitlyn Jenner is wayyy dumber than any of them, she supported Ted Cruz in the primary and whenever she was confronted with the fact that he hates her and people like her, she insisted he was just confused, and why with her there to advise him on trans issues he'll come around and realize _{rich, white} transwomen are okay!

"I get a trophy just like the guy who won except I didn’t have to work for it."

Eh, not really. Actual "participation trophies" do go to people who likely worked pretty hard. They just didn't take 1st place. And the "trophy" they get is more like a commemorative token you stash away in a box and forget about. The winners took the big Stanley Cup looking thing.

I was born in 85, and racked up a bunch of participation trophies from peewee football and the like.
The trophies sure as hell weren't my idea, as a fat kid I was more concerned with getting ice cream afterwards than adding another meaningless trophy to the pile.

who care, she makes fake outsider art with a small cadre of youtube successful theater kids. Jenner, unfortunately, has had massively more sway with cis people perceptions of transness than CP ever could. Internet poisoned twitter people with a cancellation fetish are not the world.

Fwd: Say the Prayer then send it on.

We were asked to be part of a 1 million Lord's Prayer chain to slow and stop the Coronavirus. The idea is you pray and then pass the message on to 8 other people. Let me know if you can't, so we don't break the prayer chain. It took me 30 secs to do it . (If you get it more than once pray again and keep it going! )

Here is a prepared prayer you can pray or use your own:



God our Father, please blanket our nation in protection from the Corona virus. Heal our land and protect those who are most vulnerable. Give peace to those who struggle with loneliness and isolation, and endurance to the many businesses that are affected by our feeble attempts to control Corona. Come to the bedside of those who are struggling with the effects of contracting the virus. Protect and give guidance to those healthcare workers who place themselves in danger caring for the sick. Hear our prayer oh Lord. We pray this in your sons name, Amen.



Thank you, Lord God!

I've pointed that out before, they immediately blame the "other parents."
The lousy straw-yuppies who suck at parenting are the ones who did that, not the Good Honest Boomer pointing out how bad and wrong it is.

Since most of the problems we are having in this country today are the direct result of women abusing power, I hope we never see a female President, a lot fewer women in Congress and no more female Governors. Yes, I know that a couple of them are OK, But something seems to go wrong in the female brain when it gets a whiff of power.
