Tolerance is a monster trying to kill our children. The bear is just because the boy scouts are known for going into the woods.

I dont know if they still do it, but podcast Skeptics Guide to the Universe has a regular segment called Fact or Fiction, but they occasionally have a now atheistic Jewish man who comes on and does "Jewey or Screwy" where he goes over these and the hosts have to guess which one is an actual Jewish rules lawyering tradition.

I'm several pages behind, but Amish will also do similar things in regards to technology. For example, they won't drive, but they will pay people to drive them around. Rules are also very localized. We have an amish community ~30 minutes away from my house can use self-propelled lawn mowers. The other amish community ~30 minutes in the opposite direction cannot use self-propelled lawn mowers, but it's been a hotly debated topic in the church for the last few years.

Obviously, local Amish are rather liberal when it comes to co-mingling with 'the English' and also do not shun people.

Facebook post about the possible new law in Alabama that requires the father/family of the woman who wants an abortion to give permission, even in the cases of rape and incest. I called it Craster's Law. And promptly got a few angry posts from some FB friends of friends about how it's not fair how a woman can force a man to give his HARD EARNED MONEY FOR 18 YEARS FOR A BABY HE DOESNT EVEN WANT so this is totally levelling the playing field.

Even when I explained who Craster was, they didn't think it was funny, only that "feminism brought this on you."

I get the complaint, but this is basically just the classic Keynesian dilemma about how private virtue becomes public vice. Saving your money seems good, but it means it's not in the economy. Of course, in 2010 we were still feeling very strong effects from the recession. I would tell your coworker that that's the best possible explanation for why economic stimulus and borrowing money is good during a downturn. Obama's stimulus gave people money to spend in Vegas, while Republicans called for a spending freeze at the time, which would have made things so much worse.

You mean Betsy Devos, right? It's really amazing how a rich, out-of-touch woman assumes every school in Wyoming is surrounded by roaming grizzly bears. If an urban Democrat ever made that gaffe, they'd be mocked endlessly for not knowing anything about "the heartland" and stereotyping middle America.

So a liberal girl I know from work made a Facebook post about how much she respects John McCain and Glenn Beck (for being anti-Trump) and is now following their twitters. Such shameful behavior. Trump has successfully managed to push the Overton Window so far to the right that dumb liberals are praising any Republicans who condemn him. Like, what is the point of that even supposed to be?

(Hint: it's because liberals have a "finding common ground with those you disagree with" fetish; I'm not even joking, I think they derive sexual pleasure from it.)

Man, from reading your various posts in this thread and (I think) some PYF threads like IOSM, you really need to meet new people. Like, it's to the point where I recognize you as "that poster who knows a bunch of terrible people", which is kinda sad.

and then d) their twins wind up defeating the both of them 20+ years later, with the boy child redeeming Jay Z at the last moment thus "bringing balance" ?

or maybe i'm thinking too much
