The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it’s generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess
I did a spongebob thing and poured myself 400 glasses of lemonade with little umbrellas for breakfast. April Fools on me, I'm not even thirsty!! AH HA HA HA HA oh man, I'm going away with the nice men in white coats now.....
Hmm. Not sure how to feel because honestly, I feel this way also. I do love animals (ummm not in the physical way) and I believe all life is sacred. After all humans are animals also. But at the same time, I love the carnivorous side of being an omnivore - I couldn't imagine not being able to eat steaks, ribs, chicken wings and other meat with bones and veins in it.
But that doesn't mean I think animals deserve to die - just that I have to live with the un-resovable contradiction of being both an animal lover and a meat lover. It is yummy and there's nothing the first bite of a juicy steak or crispy chicken wing. Thank you for your sacrifice, clucky, bessie, and porky.
Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he can reasonably be described as evil. Yet, white “Christian” evangelicals are among his most loyal, stalwart, and enthusiastic supporters. Moreover, when his behavior and character are evaluated relative to the Christian mythological framework, Trump is actually much closer to being...
Many times I've explained to people that trump actually IS the anti-christ as described in the bible; hugely appealing to the gullible and the corrupt, able to build armies of immoral and indecent sycophants, proclaiming to be the "messiah of God." All of these and more point to his actually being the actual anti-christ in every possible way.
But hey, go ahead and re-elect him to office and watch how your own fortunes burn to a cinder as a result. It's the very people that are mentally ill enough to re-elect him that will the first to dragged into eternal hell by him.
Just changed my voter registration. Farewell GOP, you were great for a while but now you have lost your way. I'm pleased to now be a registered Democrat.
@BaldProphet Congrats BaldProphet, and welcome to the light. It takes a lot of growing and courage to come over to the good side. Plus we throw better parties. Welcome aboard!
With the same reasoning it's never logical to assume that things we can't always identify or put a label on are strange or foreign or from other planets.
The most logical, and most mentally healthy mind, would first try to explore the most plausible explanations and first assume there is no miraculous visitation involved.
If a mountain springs up in the middle of the Pacific and a comic sans message pops up saying LDS is the true religion," I can guarantee it's because the multi-billion dollar corporation called the LDS Church has put money into a new kind of marketing campaign.
And if you're stupid enough to give that corporation 10 percent of your income, maybe you're too stupid to be trying to solve UFO mysteries in the first place.
Well I'm sure it wasn't Israel's fault, he probably got in the way of their bullets. Of course killing humans at Easter is what the Jewish state is best at, so we should shove our easter eggs up our butt and thank jesus for this wonderful world of bloodshed and murder that israel helps make happen.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has delivered a blunt warning that Europe has entered a “pre-war era” and if Ukraine is defeated by Russia, nobody in Europe will be able to feel safe....
All of us are in the pre-world War III era and we're gearing up quickly for it. In many ways it's already underway, and we're just now starting to get ready go make it even more massive and global.
Welcome to the 21st century where men have evolved into nothing more than war mongering utter pieces of filthy shit. This is what will be all our legacy, a world scorched into oblivion and not a trace of humanity anywhere left on the planet. Perhaps that's for the best, really.
I've never understood exactly what makes the male sex supposedly so superior. From what I've seen they are decidedly mediocre as a sex, very egotistical, gun loving, hate-filled, quick to anger, slow witted and quite dirty minded, with brains that make war and other filth. Extraordinarily gutter-type people.
A Filipino villager has been nailed to a wooden cross for the 35th time to reenact Jesus Christ’s suffering in a brutal Good Friday tradition he said he would devote to pray for peace in Ukraine, Gaza and the disputed South China Sea....
What a sick idea that we should celebrate a human being nailed to a cross, yuck. Another example of how religious beliefs are grotesque in the extreme and I'd rather believe in humanity instead of some supernatural shit like this.
There was no such person as Jesus and there never has been and there never as any such thing as "god" either. Stop being ignorant blind fools, people. Leave your shackles of religious nut-jobbery behind, go out and enjoy life and have some fun. Turn this "good Friday" into a GREAT Friday.
Well it's sort of like Mohammed - I'm sure that a person with that name DID exist around that time at some point. And maybe they were a teacher and a self-proclaimed "speaker for god." But so was Charles Manson and David Koresh and Jim Jones and Joseph Smith and many other horrible cult leaders.
There never has been any "god" in the way we mean it, so there could never actually be such a thing as the son of God, nor any need for one. If we were smart as a species, we'd see why it's more important to support human beings than go around believing in religious nut jobbery.
The Brussels City Council unanimously passed a motion on Monday evening to block public procurement of products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, with the MR and N-VA parties abstaining....
All of our countries should be imposing bans on ANTYHING being imported from Israel ever again, and from anything they produce being brought overseas. Israel is a cesspool of murderous hate, and we cannot and should not support hem in any way, in any form, at any time.
The Taliban’s announcement that it is resuming publicly stoning women to death has been enabled by the international community’s silence, human rights groups have said....
Just because no one holds you accountable for doing it, how can you justify being sick and evil enough to want to flog or stone somebody. What is going on with these middle eastern assholes?? Is it something in the water they drink or the food they eat that turns these bigoted males into such flagrantly mentally abberant pieces of utter walking dog shit??
Well, my advice is, if you're a middle-eastern woman, arm yourself any way you can and strike first. Throw the first stone, you might just crush the worthless skull of one of these misogynistic women-hating anti-human pieces of maggot infested filth, and do the world an immense favor.
No I'm not saying the West is much better, but at least here we treat women with the same dignity as men. We spit on all of them, but at least we TRY to say we treat men and women equally.
No the situation is not much better anywhere in the world.
Here they want to force all schools to have the Ten Commandments posted on every wall. Because god knows, kids aren't already feeling puny and guilty enough, we need to show them just how much they don't measure up to god's standards at every turn.
If there is a human alive who has never broken a commandment I've yet to meet them. And I don't live my life by a fictitious set of rules anyway - let alone a list that no one, not even Jesus, could actually succesfully live up to. (and to my mind, no one with any intellect would want to anyway).
I don't think people think much about the actuality of what Darwin said or the truth of their own animalness and being part of the animal kingdom.
It always irks me to see an anti-evolutionist pointing to or making fun of a picture of an ape because, to them, being compared to great animals is some sort of smutty filth. I hate to think what kind of brutality they enact on cats and dogs around them, or even kids.
The idea that we're part of the Animal kingdom, to me, is such a fascinating and great concept. I just do not get people who are insulted or "turned off" by that idea at all.
“The Palestinian Authority is waging a war against us, and only action with the same force as we’re applying in Gaza will eliminate all threats throughout the West Bank,” he says in a statement cited by Hebrew media.
Settler leader should be stoned and beheaded for licking Nazi buttholes and savoring the taste. Israel has become worse than Nazi germany at its most utterly grotesque.
People in the U.S. are leaving and switching faith traditions in large numbers. The idea of “religious churning” is very common in America, according to a new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI)....
Yes my bigotry is well founded, I appreciate your understanding, and just a word of advice, you might try pulling your thumb out of your butthole once in awhile so your brain, tiny as it is, can get some air.
I appreciate that. I've had a lot of scorn heaped on my head for being a "Boomer," as if it was sacriligious of me to pick being born in the 50s - surprisingly, I had very little say in it.
And I personally don't see that I did anything to make the world worse, beyond just living my life the way every one else did. Did I support oil and gas extraction? Well I drove a car - as a kid I never even thought about such things.
Did I help pollute the earth? I came from a family of human consumers so I'm sure I did. I'm not saying we don't deserve our share of blame.
Yes I'm an older person but I worked hard and did my best in life, I don't know more I could do. I never engaged in fighting or war with other people or hurt anyone, if I could help it.
I have a spotless driving record, not even a citation. But no one says, "thank you for being a safe driver," all i get are scornful comments like, "whaddya want, a metal?" "Who cares."
You can be a good and contributing tax payer your whole life, and someone who has always treated others with respect and acted carefully, and yet still be the target of total scorn and unreasonable hate just because of the generation you came from.
And I'd add that banning books about LGBTQ people and pride flags and such actually will dramatically increase the probability of brain dead adults and pedophilic clergy, since ignorance is a large part of what drives such behaviors.
