Oh, the irony.

It's supposed to be anti both, but I worded it a little ambiguously!

Have you read any holy books? They're filled with god-ordained killings.

I guess if we want to be respectful to religion, we should stone him and the preacher can get as close as he wants. I bet he wouldn't have a problem standing at a distance in that scenario.

I wouldn't have any questions, just immediate concern.

I'd start looking for the nearest mental health facility and check myself in due to having visual and auditory hallucinations.

There is no devil.

My dad died in his late 80s of Parkinson's. For at least a decade before his diagnosis he'd tell me that everyday when he woke up, he'd lost another piece of himself. He went from an active man in his early to mid 70s--he rode his bike 25 miles a day and weight lifted--to a shadow of himself very quickly.

It was tough to watch, and so much tougher for him facing loss after loss of his abilities. He spoke several times of "releasing" himself, but ultimately decided not to do it.

We are living longer, but that isn't always to our benefit.

In a cruel example of irony, this happened at Freedom Elementary School.

The deputy broke every rule he could find, strong armed and bloodied an 8 year old IEP student, deleted cam footage, accessed the child's private school records...and despite all this, the sheriff’s department didn’t discipline or retrain the deputy.

So he's still out there, endangering society and little kids.

My great great grandfather fought in the civil war, my great grandfathers and great uncles fought in the World Wars, one of them in the Battle of the Bulge; my dad was a medic in Korea, my brother was in Afghanistan...there is absolutely nothing about the inhumanity of war that I would not believe.

To disbelieve any of them is to disbelieve reality.

I'm in Louisiana, and I think the number CAN be that high.

My initial reaction is "What the fuck?" but then it kind of settles into "what the fuck?"

Jesus Pete, Murica, WHAT THE FUCK??

Are you on any meds? I was once taking a medication (an NSAID) that caused excessive sweating, and it took me longer than I'd like to admit that my new med and my sweaty head were related.

My momma used to say that if you can smell yourself, other people have been smelling you for days.

Don't know what your issues are, but I have aquagenic urticaria. There are waterless, alcohol based 'soaps' that I rely on heavily.
