PLEASE PRESANAL EMAIL ME

You want them to do WHAT to you? Presanal? That's sick.

Where's Heidi Klum or Maria Sharipova? Also, I heard that all of Pam's close friends have a special nickname for her: "Over rated."

I've not read Oedipus, but I don't have to now thanks to this splendidly put together essay. Very well done. My favorite line is "None of this makes much sense. Again, don't worry about it. This is a folk tale not a god damn Oxy Clean Commercial."

Why's that? The graph took 5 minutes to make if that's what you mean.  I could've sworn your posting privileges were revoked... you wouldn't know anything about that would u?

It's not Valentine's anymore, but I thought you'd enjoy these Valentine's Greetings:

I dunno about him hating the "real" Jesus. I mean, who is the real Jesus? That answer's going to be different to everyone. If this guy was complaining that there are preachers preaching about a Jesus that hates gays and people of different faiths or nationalities, then sure I'd see his reasoning. Any religious leader shouldn't be glorifying hate. That IS complete bull shit.

But he doesn't stop there. He says that the US government is preaching about a God that hates those people and that's what doesn't rub me right about this article. He says that Sicily has the right idea. But the Sicilian government isn't putting up those images of Jesus! The Sicilian people are! He's taking the two and treating them as one. That's a problem that too many people confuse.

If he had half a brain, he'd know better than to even think of telling his family that the government is bashing the name of Jesus. If anything, he should be the one telling them who Jesus is instead of critiquing what others say and take some responsibilty for his own family. Man up. That's why we have a seperation between the church and state; to leave religion to the individual and keep the government out of it. Christ... this is basic shit!!!

Oh, and the whole "the US is supporting Israel because they're Jewish" is a little speculatory. I'm not saying we don't favor Israel over other Middle Eastern states, but it's not because they're Jewish. It's a pro-US state in the middle of anti-US states and if we can get them to be the dominating local power then hell yeah! Cheaper oil! I think this war was fought more over oil than it was over religion. It's a more sensible answer that agrees with the realist world view that the US gov't chooses to persue.

*Sigh...* Another Democrat bitching about the Neo-Con Right... if he just said "Fuck you, Ann Coulter," then I would have gotten the jist of the article, been saved the two minutes I spent reading this poorly constructed argument, and he would have saved dozens from experiencing this feable attempt at establishing a sense of personal relationship with the reader.

Several times during the week, I thought about telling my family what's happened to Jesus in the United States - how he's been kidnapped by politicians and preachers who decide what he does and doesn't think. They speak for him, and it doesn't always make sense.

They say Jesus is "pro life," but he doesn't seem to have a problem with the death penalty. And he thinks stem cell research - something that would save lives - is no different from murdering babies. They say he's the embodiment of kindness, love, decency and compassion. But he hates gays, lesbians and Muslims. And he's not too crazy about Buddhists, Hindus and the rest. Jews? He can put up with them if he has to.

Hahahahaha! He can go ahead and tell his family that. That's his business. But I've never heard a politician (who is taken seriously) say that God hates gays, lesbians, etc. And Jews? I wonder if he knows how much money we pump into Israel to keep the Jewish homeland's head above water.

Fucking disgusting... who fucking thinks of doing that? I'll rep it anyways, lmao
