Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, they believe it for themselves too... they just believe the other stuff makes you a nasty, bad, naughty boy.
Basically, if we make it legal we ruin their kink. Now why we gotta go an' do that? Can't we just be ashamed and keep gay sex fun and in men's rooms where it belongs?
If the Presidential lineup for 2008 is any indication, they are losing power. None of the realistic possibilities are going to thrill the ultraconservative religious right. Of course if Hillary is nominated then they are still going to come out in force since they think Hillary eats babies grilled over burning bibles.
I think it's their ideal. That sex is not for pleasure at all. Only for procreation and that's what it should be. Masterbation is cheating on your current (or future) spouse.
And it's all the people who don't think of sex as evil and bad that have corrupted all the "upstanding" people into cheating/whoring around/etc. It's the ungodly masses fault. But if there's no temptation then everyone will fall in line, so they are are thinking.
It reminds me of what I've read about the Purtains, and how they'd take away more and more things and try and legistlate piety more and more and it all back fired.
On a completely different note, Stephen King was spotted reading between innings at an ALCS game: [link]
"King told reporter Chris Myers on-air that he 'could read 18 pages between innings normally. But now that Fox is doing the games, I can read 27 pages between commercial breaks.' Not a bad idea for home viewers."
I sometimes read at the ballpark if I get there before DH and Annabel, but so far I've saved my between-inning reading for home viewing.
I think I read somewhere that more than half of all fundamentalist are in favor of contraceptives - it's just the lunatic fringe who consider them evil. But I could be misremembering....
Then there are those who consider "the pill" to be an abortificant.
Of course if Hillary is nominated then they are still going to come out in force since they think Hillary eats babies grilled over burning bibles.
And is pimping out Satan.
That's why I hate that Hillary is running.
Masterbation is cheating on your current (or future) spouse.
My high-school girlfriend considered masturbation to be cheating. i.e. if I masturbated, she would then be justified to sleep with other men, because women can't masturbate.
Yeah, she was a bit... weird.
I hope she has figured out some of the crucial flaws in her reasoning.
How is it not FRIDAY YET!?!?!
It is if you take Friday off like I am.
I have to work on Friday AND Saturday. And I have to be at work on Saturday at 5:30am.
