Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
grr, the board ate a post
I doubt any public school teacher in the US has told her class that Christians are horrible people, or going to hell, or ignorant fools, BUT the same most certainly has been said about other religions or atheists.
ION - My stand on the "Every child deserves a mom and a dad" thing probably does not need to be stated. I Hate Some People!
Oh dear, didn't mean to start a coffee panic here on the board. Sorry, my bad.
Can anyone explain this to me?
I think msbelle is pretty on target WRT the not recognizing what persecution means. It's probably all the little accommodations made for people who aren't Christian in this country, like singing "Dredel dredel dredel" in the school Christmasholiday pageant.
What's fascinating to me about that Last Father's Day ad is that it clearly articulates a fear that if marriage changes men would become useless and unnecessary. I mean seriously, what do they think? That given their druthers all women would rather marry another woman?
It (the persecution thing) seems to be the same old thing, that when you're used to being in a privileged position, anything that takes away a part of that privilege, or even shares it, is seen as an injury. bah! silly people!
Oh, Todd. Next you're going to be saying that rich white men have it hard.
the "Robplane" is a thing of beauty, Daisy Jane. i love that you guys drew a face on it and left him notes. hilarious!!
well that and the timing with Father's Day. Wife is coming off the license too, and mother/father SHOULD come off birth certificates. parent parent parent.
hi there soapbox, how I've missed you.
amych, of course rich white men have it hard! why, they're a minority! and they pay more in taxes than, than, some people make in a year! why, they're talking about making it illegal to buy your own Member of Congress!
They want to give me a laptop at work. DO NOT WANT.
Especially since it'll most likely be a mac, making my current, ancient laptop at home seem all the more dated.
and mother/father SHOULD come off birth certificates. parent parent parent.
Your point is valid. I hadn't thought of it that way, that the fear was equality. Didn't Kat make a similar point a few days ago?
