![]() I think you need some sleepytime tea or something. You need to calm down. That whole post is just bait and vitriol.

I'm serious. All the time. Everything is serious business, not "bait and vitriol", as that is for children and the unserious. Seriously.

![]() Yoggy, here's your problem:
You actually believe this. No hyperbole, right? You actually think this is mathematically true. |

I also meant it when I said a lot of christians would CHEERFULLY be stoning gays to death in the street if they could (and unlike Muslim funds THEY have a chance of getting their agenda passed). People like John Hagee, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum seem VERY keen on bringing back the old testament, and at least 57% of all republican voters are not opposed to a theocracy. Hell American Evangelicals helped create the current laws in uganda that allow the death penalty for homosexuality. THAT Is why people are more willing to go after christians. There's an atrocious double standard where Christian fundies are portrayed as harmless when given the power they would gleefully make America a theocracy. In fact, given that they actually have the ability to carry out their agenda (as opposed to a few isolated muslims who are generally dismissed as losers in their own community) Christian fundamentalists are FAR more dangerous. It's also why "regressive leftist" is a snarl world. It's basically used by people who want to act like christianity is a shining beacon of light and that muslims are a monolith who must become "house muslims" in order to fit in. |

![]() ^ Since you're saying things like "not mathematically" and "a lot of" (instead of "most" or "virtually all"), you've demonstrated that I was incorrect when I asserted you weren't using hyperbole.
So, fair enough. |

![]() So apparently Bill 89 was passed in the Ontario legislature.
Reading up on what people were saying I wasn't sure if the panic was proper or not. You have some arguing that since now the bill (which it is a long bill) has provisions saying that they will take into consideration certain elements it goes too far. Quote:
Some people fear that if their child is say of a particular religious persuasion or not and they were to send them to a Catholic school or something to that effect that this would be illegal. The other element would be the expansion of the "Best Interests of the Child" notion. Quote:
On the otherhand we've had Youth reform advocates arguing that the bill has too much loose wording. That it doesn't go far enough and doesn't have any teeth. |

![]() I feel like politics is more divisive than sex is. Someone hating feminism doesn't mean they are going to hate me. It is just what people of a specific political persuasion do. A person that takes politics really seriously is more likely to mistreat me or treat me unfairly than someone doing so because I am a woman.
I don't deny sexism exists. Both positive and negative. The vitriolic surrounding politics is really insane in the US though. Racism and sexism should have never been conflated with this because it means people think you can't be sexist if you vote Democrat and a word that means something very specific became a more generic negative insult. |

Eh, just calling the other side jewefied(is that a word?) would work just fine imo. Historical relevance and shit.

![]() Nah, they just ask (((((who)))) might be motivating them to act in such a way.
In other news, the right-wing response to Wolfenstein 2 has been fun to watch in a disgusting sort of way. ![]() ![]()

![]() It's almost like you can point out as many screaming lunatics on the Right as you can on the Left. Almost like pointing out screaming lunatics is a pointlessly polarizing thing to do.
