In Utah women are primarily vessels for incubating children, and they will be punished if they act otherwise.

In Arizona, thinly veiled racism is alive and well. (bonus fun fact: Arizona was one of the last 3 states to make Martin Luther King day a holiday; the others

Ah, but don't forget that in Virginia, birth defects are God's punishment for previous abortions.

[urbpan]

Well done, 45 more states to go!

[dosboof]

You're like a Sufjan Stevens of hate and intollerance!

Ooh! Ooh! My turn! In my state, disabled children are God's punishment to the mom for having abortions!

[elizaeffect]

Dammit beaten to the punch

[urbpan]

Oh, nuts. Surely there must be a something in one of the neighboring states as batshit as that! Does West Virginia still have little kids working in coal mines?

I've said it before and I'll say it again; for such an otherwise advanced nation, "mainstream" America has a bizarrely Victorian attitude to anything remotely connected with sex and/or religion...

I don't think that dude from Massachusetts was so far off the mark. When Muslims crashed planes into buildings (albeit killing a lot more people), it traumatized the nation. This guy in Texas crashes a plane into a building, and it's second-page news

I love how that story ends with "what do you think, did he go too far?" As if it was going to get a discussion going with some people who think that branding students with a hot wire is acceptable.

(Abuse which is above and beyond the already fireable offense of being a science teacher who doesn't believe in science)

Admit it, you're just jealous that people in Arizona get to live in a place called Skull Valley.
