They have the original budweiser, and it tastes like beer, rather than the horrible thin weak liquid that americans call beer.

I love the irony. I’VE got more foreign policy experience than Obama does.

I like the argument that those who burn the flag respect it enough to use the burning of it as a symbol of their displeasure, versus those who fly a flag in the rain and elements, letting it fade and fall into disrepair.

Yeah, that’s probably whose to blame.

Badly.

Let’s take everyone’s favorite whipping boy, Exxon. Ex made 40.6 Billion last year, they paid, depending on who you believe, anywhere from 22 to 30 billion in taxes. Let’s say Exxon says screw it and leaves, that tax income has dropped to about 30% of whatever you believe.

Look at it like this….we grossed as a nation 13.7 trillion last year. Only 2.4 trill was taken in as taxes….that’s 7 percent. Now, before you Dems go “CORPORATE WELFARE!!! TAX CUTS TO THE RICH!!!” and you Reps go “WELFARE WELFARE!!! ENTITLEMENTS!!!”…..please consider, it’s probably due to both.

I also tossed a couple of 1′s in there for effect – but “McCainFTW” couldn’t manage it.

Does this mean I get to deduct a new Bowflex?
.. Does this mean that little flamer Richard Simmons doesn’t have to pay taxes at all?!?!?!

Yup! I see no problem with giving it the ol’ what for. I love the way that scripture has been so twisted, though. I blame stodgy Catholics.

Jilling off? Button-button-who’s-on-my-button? Roman fingers?

I was always bothered that the terms for male masturbation are all so violent, especially towards animals: spanking the money, flogging the dolphin, choking the chicken, shanking the sherman, bopping the bishop… (Though I do like “bringing mr. weasel back from the grave”)

And I take it that you agree with the interpretation that the smoteable crime of Onan was disobeying a direct order from the Almighty and not, as so often ascribed, rubbing one out?

By: froofrou

froofrou — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:56:06 +0000

I think the deal with that is that masturbation is such a nasty-sounding word ‘Double-clicking the mouse’ or ‘spanking it’ sounds so much better!

By: herb

… and yet they sacked Jocelyn Elders for wanting to discuss and promote masturbation as an alternative to sex.

“*gasp* But if we tell students about it, they might start doing it.”

If you ever have the misfortune to watch golf on TV, wait for the crowd around a hole when the ball goes in. It’s truly weird, hundreds of people clapping and it’s no louder than a quiet spring shower.

Texas does not teach abstinence only. In fact, I was horrified to learn that the teacher at my daughter’s babysitter’s school was giving them definitions of anal sex and why its better.

The shirt is what brought me to the comments…what does it say? I really hope it’s not a Missouri Miners shirt. Her support base is very small here, from what I have heard from the students and the rest of the community in general. I work with the public and every weekend tons of people come in with their Obama buttons and t-shirts. not to mention the facebook support, etc.

anyway, if it’s a Missouri S&T Miners shirt… and she’s eating with soldiers, I believe I know where she is. Can anyone confirm Fort Leonardwood?

Now as stated, Im from NC and its a bible belt state…. but we
have a “comprehensive” safe sex program. Meaning you take
one whole week out of the school year to sit in a classroom for
sex ed, and the one message hammered into our heads was,
“Condoms, diaphragms, contraceptives, etc. are effective forms
of birth control and preventing STDs, but the only 100% proven
way to avoid STDs and pregnancy is abstinence.”

So really… abstinence IS taught in schools… or at least it was in
my generation.

Yeah, I guess it’s not cool to like anything, at all. We have to act as if everything is beneath us. So we’ll scoff at the idea of a sticker for a prize, but we’ll go ahead and make sure we get that sticker!

Teaching little kids would be so much more fun, I would love that… I volunteered one summer to teach crafts classes to kids and I was scared of the teenagers! The little kids were way more fun. Actually the teenagers turned out to be ok too, it just took longer to get them to open up.

Last year when I worked with first grade we had a poetry slam and we instructed all the parents and visitors to snap their fingers, it was so fun. I miss elementary, I can’t wait until I am released from my current hell of teaching high school…

No, only if it killed them quickly which it won’t. So because of publicly funded health care, that stuff will be outlawed along with cigarettes. You will also be forced to exercise daily. *waits for flames*

Agreed. I like what Colin Powell wrote a while ago.
“If they are destroying a flag that belongs to someone else, that’s a prosecutable crime. If it is a flag they own, I really don’t want to amend the Constitution to prosecute someone for foolishly desecrating their own property. We should condemn them and pity them instead.”

I’m fairly sure they do it because they want to make noise but they don’t want to make it obvious that it is them.

One nation under God, worshipping a symbol. I smell idolatry. Then again, I also have nothing against a flag.

By: bootlegmarkchapman

bootlegmarkchapman — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:37:34 +0000

What I’m saying is that the correct response to flag-burning is a bored shrug and a “that’s nice, dear”. Burn the flag, rip the flag, take a dump on it, whatever – the ideals stay the same and surely that’s what matters?

If you want to go anywhere near Sarah Palin in any kind of sexual/romantic context you need psychological help. I’d rather get jiggy with John McCain.

Eh, it’s just a sheet with some colours on it. I don’t get why anyone thinks it’s a cool way to make a statement, but people make too big a deal out of flag-burning.

By: Darnity

I soooooo want to bang Sarah Palin. I would pay bailout package money just for one 12 hour period where I got to do anything non-life threatening to her naked succulent body.
