Five Stupid Things for January 2, 2012

This list leans very heavily toward religious leaders and organizations behaving badly: the brazen hypocrisy of the Pope, the lazy abusive parenting of some Lutherans in California, the petulance of Catholic Charities being forced to end their homophobic discrimination. It might strike some as a bit biased, but then again, isn't trashing religious bullshit what the holidays are for?

soooo.. gotta ask; the outro, are you just passed out, or is that a 'god struck you dead' kinda thing?

[stevelikes2curse]

@gr8z0mbiejesus Passed out.

Now do you want 93 year old people voting?

[stevelikes2curse]

@hnbbs Yes!

@hnbbs Or maybe limited the franchise to only young attractive women. It'll be a hot-ocracy, and we men will entrust our fates to their sexy, sexy hands.

@xxa455xx If you have been to vote you will find long lines of old people in the line. I think we should just let young good looking people vote. Or we could make it so if you are 18 to 30 you get a full vote, 30 to 50 you get half a vote and over 50 you get 1/4 of a vote. That might be good for America. Or we could allow only women to vote and that would make major changes and improvements to our system of government.

@hnbbs why would you not want them to vote?

[MaybeFactor]

@hnbbs Only in countries where they have a right to vote.

@Gliese581f ikr smacking a teen for smoking is just wrong hell smacking a kid is just wrong in general

Most of the "charity money" doesn't even go to those that need it. Just fills the church's coffers.

When you have to choose between helping and discriminating - and you choose discrimination to be the more important factor... one really has to wonder how important the helping part was all along.
