Really, they are totally in favor of most of the provisions. Stoning a young woman who has unmarried sex yet not touching the man, the tealiban would love that and really do it now in words if not using the actual rocks.

Do these assholes even know we have a costitution? This is unconstitutional on the face of it, establishing the christians as the only people allowed to actually be married?

OMG, how can so many have totally lost their minds? I'd love to see Scalia try to defend this one, the pompous ass.

If only atheists would stop questioning religion, we could fix this, right? trotsky Mar 2015 #17

Did she say that? No. Seems you feel the need to put words in her mouth. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #18

really justin? You can't recall another recent thread here that you gleefully participated in Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #24

Apparently I am not smart enough to figure these things out. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #25

no you stated that here last night and people agreed with you. Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #27

I said it jokingly. others not so much. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #28

others agreed with you jokingly and you had an upset. Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #29

No actually I did not alert. i went to bed early last night because my father had surgery today hrmjustin Mar 2015 #33

If you can recall any such post-- okasha Mar 2015 #35

sure. Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #36

Look I am sorry I posted that post in there. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #37

Nope. okasha Mar 2015 #38

right. what ever you say. Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #41

She is not a bro and I am rather suprised you did that. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #42

it is an expression that means a person has just uttered something that is obvious bullshit Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #43

I have to say I am shocked you said that. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #44

look Justin we are all adults here, so you can drop the act now. Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #45

Yes i understand that but I thought you would understand sensitivity about the issue. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #46

look Justin, we are all adults here and you know there is no issue Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #47

Okasha is a lesbian. have you thought that she might take offense at being called a bro? hrmjustin Mar 2015 #49

Look we are all adults here Justin, so I think you can figure out that Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #50

Way to go on trying to change the story. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #51

Look Justin, we are all adults here, and you know the story is Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #52

And my response to this post. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #53

Time for a little linguistic history here. okasha Mar 2015 #55

Not really. Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #56

You do understand how a woman might be offended when called a bro? hrmjustin Mar 2015 #58

Very not really. okasha Mar 2015 #60

Actually, the correct parry is "I hope they make a movie out of it". AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #77

I find it amusing you use the dictionary definition here, but when convenient, you go to urbandictio AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #84

"cool story bro" is a common internet meme. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #64

And okasha didn't appreciate being called bro. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #67

It's not *actually* calling someone 'brother'. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #69

But he still called her bro. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #70

Ugh.. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #71

You are missing the point. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #72

Is there a gender neutral alternative? AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #73

And it was carelessly used. Not all woman would be offended but many would. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #74

I'm at a loss for a substitute meme in this case. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #75

Just say I don't believe you. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #76

But then it's not funny. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #79

Well you take a risk. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #80

How about "Cool story"? okasha Mar 2015 #109

I suppose it works. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #110

People, or most liberal English speakers, at any rate, okasha Mar 2015 #111

Honestly, and without any bs or meta, just a question; AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #112

"Cool story" by itself is absolutely innofensive. okasha Mar 2015 #113

Hard for me to estimate. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #114

I have noticed your gender-neutral usage, okasha Mar 2015 #115

Wow give it up already. phil89 Mar 2015 #82

Too bad. If you can't stand hearing what I say put me on ignore. hrmjustin Mar 2015 #85

Well, thank you for acknowledging that I'm right, whatever I say. You're making progress. okasha Mar 2015 #54

So cbayer disavows that article? Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #57

Not even slightly. okasha Mar 2015 #59

So that would make your original assertion Warren Stupidity Mar 2015 #61

Uhm , no. okasha Mar 2015 #66

Poster made no such assumption. AtheistCrusader Mar 2015 #68

Why is it the people who are constantly defending religion skepticscott Mar 2015 #22

They are stupid. They think gays are atheists by definition n/t Beartracks Mar 2015 #88

Exactly. Of all the stupidity here, that has to be the stupidest assumption ever. cbayer Mar 2015 #90

It is not separate but equal. Common law is not equal. djean111 Mar 2015 #19
