Random Politics & Religion #19

You do have to admit that it takes some serious mental gymnastics to rectify Christian teachings and conservative fiscal/social policies!

So then I tell her I just got out of jail that is when the date ended...

"I said I was the cops, and your husband's in jail; the state looks down on sodomy!"

I'm not saying you're wrong in all cases, but a lot of times it goes something like this:

Person #1: "I'm opposed to bloated government programs that perpetuate poverty by creating a welfare culture of dependency."
Person #2: "YOU HATE THE POOR!"

Person #1: "I'm opposed to bloated government healthcare systems that create more problems than they solve."
Person #2: "YOU HATE THE SICK!"

If only person#1 was making valid arguments.

Not quite...

The fact that you focus on the arguments of person #1 (who is at least trying) more than the arguments of person #2 (who is jumping to extreme conclusions) says something.

Person#2 is irrelevant since you're just using that in a parodic manner.

Person 3 check please !

It's not that I hate the poor it's just how are they going to pay me ?

Your privilege?

"I'm Seha, professional pourer of gasoline. Oh look! Fire! Don't mind if I do."

I don't have a privilege if I did why would I be here. I'd be doing this:

Playing with words is just my favourite way of joking.

I'd be drinkin', shootin', fightin', smokin' and whoremongerin' round the world. On my yacht.

Indeed.

Just be careful. You know how easily triggered some of these righties get by lefty catchphrases!

I like this.

That only applies to the stupid catchphrases. Well, wait, that pretty much covers them all. Good point.

I don't have any privilege.

:(

It's more like:

Person 1: All lives matter

Person 2: Ok so you're for equality of all races and genders?

Person 1: No, acknowledging the LGBTQ community is a sin. They do not deserve equality.

Person 2: Ok what about accepting refugees trying escape war zones and situations they had no control or part in?

Person 1: We will not take those criminals and terrorists!

Person 2: So you said All Lives Matter. What's your opinion on the Black Lives Matter movement and it's attempt to achieve the equal treatment and value of black lives by criminal justice system?

Person 1: They're just a bunch of thugs who want special treatment and feel entitled to more than they deserve. Besides what about Blue Lives Mattering? Huh?

Person 2: Interesting. Well yes the life of police officers matter but the comparison is inaccurate since one can choose to be blue whereas you don't get to choose your skin color.

Person 1: They're still thugs looking for a handout. All lives matter not just black lives.

Person 2: Maybe you should look up the definition of that word.

Person 1: What word?

Person 2: "All"

Trump approves:

Yall so hyperbolic, I didn't sign up for this rollercoaster ride!

Let's be honest....it's been a long time since any of us has been allowed to use a pointy scissors...

/fingerknits a potholder

I scream this every other day, but as long as dummies are alive tribalism will overcome urban angst. We need to get into contact with an alien species so we can pit all the dipshits against them instead of the trival *** they choose now.

You literally did!

Yeah but it's like cats be living on the shores of a river running through Egypt when you point it out.

2copt4me.

Sounds OK to me.
