What is the definition of marriage?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I think my favorite part is the part about the American Indian [sic] president. "Minorities are scary because they'll treat us as crappy as we treated them, given half the chance!"

isn't this just perfect? Homophobic, xenophobic and of course dumb as hell.

Romney's neighbor should get into car's elevator and get stuck.

That would have been a lot more awesome drawn out as a Jack Chick tract.

Nabisco put up a picture on the Oreo™ facebook page of an Oreo with rainbow cream for gay pride.

You wanna see some crazy, check out some of the comments on that page.

(And who the hell even knew Oreo™ had a FB page?!)

I feel bad for the grandson. He's clearly against the changes made to the definition of marriage, yet he as five wives. Is polygamy compulsory in this scenario? I'm surprised he wasn't forced to have an equal number of wives and husbands.

[tazber]

Well the future is a scary place, phyl.

You're missing the scariest undertone of that tale...if Chester Allman (who, btw, obviously is an FTM transexual descendant of Gregg, because the Cher curse somehow passed down) just returned from the Moon Colony...that means somehow, Newt Gingrich was elected president.

[tazber]

Lol! Score.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Well, that would explain why polygamy was legal.

[tazber]

Score for you too!

Poor Patricia is just sad that nobody followed her suggestion for a block-long square-dancing day.


The Virginia Reel? Jeez, how old is this lady?

The real tragedy is the fact these brave lunar pioneers were denied any communication with Earth. I bet their absentee moon ballots weren't even counted!

[Mister Matt]

I bet their absentee moon ballots weren't even counted!

Not if the moon was colonized by Florida.

[Kad]

That makes sense. The moon is apparently going to full of crotchety old people.

Damn, that's crazy. (Weber woman's letter.)

I was sitting here thinking that there was a comic book back in the 60s that had a Native American US President, but apparently I was thinking of PREZ in which the first teen President (white) appoints Native American "Eagle Free" as head of the FBI. (Comic was 70s not 60s btw.)

The Oreo rainbow cookie thing ... people (all the negative comments) are ridiculous. I am working on losing weight and trying to stay away from most sweets, but this is really tempting me to go buy some Oreos and hope I can control myself.

[Mister Matt]

At least on the actual Oreo Facebook page, the supportive and positive comments seem to outnumber the homophobic wackos a great deal.

[Jay Lerner-Z]

At least Patricia Weber will be long dead by then.

Patricia Weber also hates La Jolla's diversity. Damn those veterans, diversifying such a quaint, happy (READ: white) town.

The one poster on the Oreos page (The one who posted something about smashing fags skulls with a hammer) got a nasty PM me on Facebook:

Just saw your post on the Oreos page about bashing skulls of gay people...
You are one sick ****.
I dare you to come at me, I will ruin your life.

I'd appreciate it if you did not make threatening statements towards others. That is harassment and I will not hesitate to report you.

Oh, so saying you want to bash my skull in with a hammer is NOT a threat? How stupid are you?

I never made a direct threat towards you. You on the other hand have.

What threat? You are ruining your own life, all on your own. You are delusional.



And then I blocked him... But it made me feel really good!

[JbaraFan1]

Thanks, Matt. I hadn't seen the actual facebook page. (Just looked it up. I'm not on fb and forget that companies have pages that can be viewed publicly.)

I think the haters are finding themselves more and more in the minority with each passing day.

"I didn't threaten YOU... I just threatened everyone who is LIKE you."

[tazber]

It's probably wrong, but BRAVO!!!! Diva.

[GavestonPS]

I realize there is so much stupidity in Weber's letter that it hardly deserves a response.

But could we once and for all stop with the bull$hit about how marriage has had the same "definition" for 200 or 2,000 years (depending on who is making up the nonsense).

A century ago, a wife was a virtual ward of her husband in most states, unable to transact business without his consent (and, of course, unable to vote). As recently as the 1950s, a wife who did anything but stay home and keep house was the object of considerable social scorn. (Not that there's anything wrong with being a housewife; it's damn hard work. The point is it is no longer compulsory for married women.)

When I was a kid, marriage was such an inviolable contract that even in a reasonably progressive state like New York, adultery was more or less the only justification for divorce. That's a very different "definition" of marriage than today's contract, which can be terminated at any time fairly easily by mutual agreement.

The "definition" of marriage has changed enormously even in my lifetime (legally and socially), so this nonsense about violating centuries-old traditions needs to stop.

These people also forget all the crazy marriage-related stuff in the Bible.
