You know, I'm not actually opposed to a good spanking once in a while, but beating your children with sticks and metal rods is NOT ok. Ever.

Seriously.

Now, To Train Up A Child sounds like an awful awful book to parent by and the systematic way it educates parents on how to beat their kids at every stage of development is horrifying. But, you ( Read more... )

So I'm going back to working on NaNoWriMo as soon as I get this off my chest. I know this woman's going to be getting a lot of shit for speaking out mainly because she's morbidly obese. People look at fat fetishists like they're sick perverts but really, is it all that much more bazaar than those people who date runway models? Because come on. What ( Read more... )

Wussap bitches?! So I think I've finally managed to condense my experiences thus far into a cohesive journal entry so here goes ( Read more... )

Is Herman Cain completely insane or just an idiot? I can't comprehend how he could possibly imagine someone building a mosque would be an "infringement and an abuse of our freedom of religion." How is someone building a place of worship for themselves an infringement on someone else's ability to worship? Are the muslims of this mosque going over ( Read more... )

This article pleases me a great deal.I'm guessing with a trend like this we'll have a pretty spread out demographic of people by the time I'm retired. I'm wondering, with odds like this happening amongst the 2-year-olds, will our senates and government still be run by rich old men? How long before the first Hispanic president?

I didn't want it to BE American Gods though, which can happen if you're trying to write something fresh off of reading someone else's work. At first it was researching Native ( Read more... )

Not that people needed another reason to thinking Christians (specifically Baptists) are idiots but here's an article that does just that. Seriously, they just fall short of accusing yoga of being satanic ( Read more... )

Really? I mean just really?Hundreds? HUNDREDS?! I mean it's just - how the hell do you rape DEAF CHILDREN?! Not that raping children by itself isn't bad already but bringing in handicaps like that is even worse. Why doesn't he just go and strangle autistic babies and mutilate puppies while he's at it. And maybe he can bath in the blood of a million ( Read more... )

So I know this is kind of late but have you guys been keeping up with the dramaz over at Comedy Central? Apparently Matt Stone and Trey Parker were making episodes criticizing Islam and Muslims and some guy got so pissed he threatened their lives, saying they might just end up like Theo van Gogh, who as you know was killed by Muslim extremists for ( Read more... )

I read this article today about the uproar Buddhists in Sri Lanka are causing over Akon's "Sexy Girl" video. There are reports of violence, "we hate Akon" signs, etc... Typical behavior for your average monotheistic religion but you know, I expected more from Buddhists. This kind of behavior is actually distinctly un-Buddhist ( Read more... )
