Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

At the time, I didn't realize that day would be a portent for how the rest of my childhood would turn out.
I would like to go back in time and beat the snot out of your father, Tom.
Yeah, it's not so much "definition has taken hold" as "the liberals like it, so how can we make it sound satanic?"

Indeed.
Sorry Tom, that sounds awful.
Four legsDriving rides good. Spinny rides bad.
Although I'm fine with Scramblers. But they aren't as spinny as they look.
Good god, Tom, that's cruel.

Did he tell you that it didn't REALLY hurt, and/or that you had a good time?
Urrgh. Tom, that's awful.
Gee, so whoever chucked a tv and microwave in the rolloff instead of donating or recycling it was just striking a blow for god? Good to know. There is a substantial Creation Care movement in evangelism, but I am not surprised to find that FRC does not take part.
In related news, I am tired of pulling cardboard and metal and stuff out of dumpsters and just want to curl up on the couch with steak soft tacos, a bourbon and ginger, and Frankie, and watch new FNL. Not just yet, but soon.
My statement wasn't really fair. I don't think they are all pro-pollution. I think there is an ideology that the all government interference in the market is bad (IMO, government creates the market but that's a tangent) and it influences people to believe that environmentalists (hippies) are vastly overstating the dangers of pollution. Why do they have this irrational concern over the environment? The answer is either religious or they hate America and want it to become a third world country. In my circles, the reason given is just that they are idiots or haven't grown up yet.
