That trick never works.
Yeah, it worked so well for South Carolina last time.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Because that always goes so well.
Maybe we should send them free passes to see Fort Sumter and a complete set of The Civil War DVDs.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm with Tep. Here's your hat, what's your hurry, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That Columbia Christian Campaign, or whatever it's called? Has now gotten far more attention than it's ever gotten or will get.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Jesus -- the dude this group allegedly worships -- loved the sinners, the whores and depraved sort. He didn't kick the shit out of them, and he certainly didn't destroy their homes.
More to the point, hello! Don't these people READ the Bible? I am an unbelieving reprobate and even I know about the rainbow sign, and how it means I promise that next time I totally destroy you it won't be with water.
Ipso facto, Q. E. D., and other Latin phrases. Some people just need my foot in their ass.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey, I'd be thrilled to have the whack-jobs out.
There are the millions of poor folk who'd be trapped in the theocracy, getting stoned to death in public squares, who were unable to leave due to not having anyplace else to go, I think.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I assume he meant South Korea unless there's been a unification in the last few days I didn't hear about. So why did he only say "Korea?"
What Juliana said, pretty much. I don't know any Koreans who say "South Korea" -- it's either just Korea, or Republic of Korea in official documents. (And ROK to the military.)

The Discovery Institute, the people who bring you Intellegent Design, has been adamant about schools not trying to teach this stuff.
dw, I looked at their website and they seem to be saying just the opposite: [link]
"Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture has long advocated the idea of teaching the strengths and weaknesses about Darwinian evolution."

After reading a friend's, er, former friend's blog yesterday, I'm kinda pissy about the attitude the coasts have towards Flyover-Jesusland. Former friend said, in effect, that the people in Mississippi deserved to die because they were stupid and didn't vote the right way in 2004.
I don't like what these morons are doing, and I'm hoping and praying it fails, but answering their contempt and vitriol with contempt and vitriol is counter-productive and the terrorists have already won and think of the children.
There. I've said my bit.
