I guess Phelps and company are slow learners.

I truly regret typing Shirley Phelps into Youtube after reading this thread. I can actually feel my blood boiling.

That the world is filled with such homophobic cretons makes me terribly sad. Alleged people of faith who clearly don't give a shit about faith. The only good news is that these jerks are so way over the top that they discredit themselves.

America is full of that (Alleged people of faith).

Who was that Republican politician that was getting his jollies with his young male aides ?

I would say the more interesting health issue is, how did a young guy making decent money end up isolating himself and taking multiple drugs, kind of like Elvis ? I don't mean to get into a "durgs are abd" meme. I just mean it would be interesting to talk to his friends, to see what he was taking, and why wasn't he satisfied just going to In n Out Burger or cruising down to Santa Monica (unless he lived in New York) ?

There must be a secret prize they hand out to stupid people who do stupid things. I just can't, for the life of me figure out how these morons can even exist in this world thinking the way they do.

Then I have to stop and think about myself and how difficult it can be for me to take the high road and not get down in the muck and wrestle with the oinkers.

Then I get all depressed and think "the world just isn't going to change, why the fuck do I bother trying to be a better person?"

Then I think "maybe I should go to church"

Then I log on to babble and I thank Bruce Almighty for having a place to visit where I can get back to reality. (just kidding about the church bit).

Please don't knock cretons; they're wonderful on toast on a cold Sunday morning...
