Hot Pockets should be called Devil's Snot Strombolis.
Same here, although I usually get Lean Pockets. I think the regular pepperoni pizza ones are too greasy.Quote:

Neither have I.Quote:

Great little op-ed:

This looks to be a generational thing, doesn't it? Once the men and women currently 50+ are out of the voting populace, that's when the paradigm shift is going to happen when it comes to public policy.Quote:

This is from August 14, 2009, so it's a little out-of-date, but it very clearly illustrates the generational differences of opinion. (Page 51 has a nice graph)
I hope it's a generational thing, but I have a feeling that spiritual influences will continue to be a strong deterrent to many people's happiness, and spirituality seems to be one of those things that traditionalists hold on to most fiercely and try most desperately to pass on because it is often assumed that morality is born, perhaps only so, from spirituality. But with each generation becoming notably less spiritual, perhaps that, too, will lessen in time.
I liked the article's brief but pointed allusion to the physical act being more of an obstacle than the idea. Anatomy, psychology, and history. If people understood a bit more of any one of those areas re: this whole sea change, I have a feeling there would be less of a visceral reaction to the image. I can't help but laugh at the surging relevance and, ahem, "appreciation" of anal sex in het pornography, leading to a tidal wave of increased desire in men to engage in it with their female SOs in real life. The topic is only broached more and more in stand-up comedy and talk shows and FML and message boards and Savage Love and etc. etc. It's hot when a man does it to a woman but disgusting when a man does it to a man? It's all lazy, juvenile, penetration-as-power bullshit. This is one of the reasons why I'm continually stunned and pleased as punch to see Ron White tackle the issue head on with each of his stand-ups.
Wish Laura would have said something earlier.
That's precisely why the prohibitions against anal sex among men (and that's literally all it's talking about) in the Hebrew Bible exist. It was considered a threat to patriarchal society, because it disrupted the social order. Sex was something that men did to women. Shoehorning the will of Yahweh into the prohibition ensured its adherence in a society whose morality was entirely dictated by clergy.Quote:

Yes, I share the same belief.Quote:

Leaders of right-wing Christian political organizations continue to prove this repeatedly. While on that topic, Ted Haggard is opening a gay-friendly church, but won't be performing gay marriages because it's not "God's ideal". Well, maybe it will be a stepping stone for entirely self-loathing gay Christians to begin to stop hating themselves, and they'll move onto a more progressive church later.Quote:

Ok. Speaking as a former fundamentalist who went to a fundamentalist church every week for about 15 years, with fundamentalists, the only things they consider worse than being gay are committing murder and being an atheist, so you can see how psychologically and emotionally damaging it is for gay people to be raised in a home with those beliefs.Quote:
