It really, really doesn't here in Texas. When I went through orientation for new teachers at a PUBLIC school district here.... The event closed with a Biblical quote. And lots of references to God, as though it is a given that everyone in the room feels this way. I happen to be Christian, but it makes me so incredibly…

*sigh* I live in Texas and this motherfucker... ARGH, I JUST HATE HIM SO MUCH!

Oh because theirs is the "one true religion" and that apparently gives them the right to impose it on all the rest of us. ._______________________________.

If Texas sterilized all its citizens there would be a huge decrease in the out-of-wedlock birth rate.

I am continually amazed that the phrase "Separation of church and state" does not compute with these people.

Shame the FLAG option isn't up and running on Jez yet. Can't wait for a mod to drop your comment, because it's hateful.

Pretty sure she's talking about the next time she gets pregnant, and also, fuck you for thinking she is grieving in the "wrong" way. Fuck you one million times forever.

Look, I'm an atheist. I don't doubt for a minute that there is no god. But what does it take away from you that another person believes that there IS a god? What is that belief helps them? The writer is not imposing her beliefs on you; she is expressing her own. Why does that bother you so much? You need to relax.

I agree. Also, the way that they undertake it on the Biggest Loser is not recommended by most professionals and certainly should not be undertaken on one's own.

A gay Republican is inherently self hating. Please look at the number of homeless GLBTQ youth (often kicked out of their houses). Please look at the number of uninsured GLBTQ people who frequently face uniquely difficult challenges in getting care. Coming out (for many people, especially the poor and those of…

So they've ... failed with the first three underrepresented groups they tried. And instead of looking at their approach, they thought they'd just ... move on to another one instead.

That shit confuses me as much as poor people voting GOP.

For the LGBTQ crowd, I think, "These people outwardly hate you. It's in their speeches, it's in their social media, it's in their proposed policy. Shit, they're warping religious statements as a half-assed excuse to fuck your life up."

And for poor people, I…

Ha. Ha. Ha.

The entire concept of "nature" is artificial and only exists in opposition to humans, as if we're not part of it. If human intelligence is "natural" (spoiler: I think it is), then so are all the things we do with it. That's not to say that all those things are necessarily ethical, and we can certainly have debate…

It's almost like they can't possibly acknowledge the existence of some sort of middle ground between "Murder tastes good!!!" and "Omg, all the animals are like little people that we must protect and love like our own children!!!".

What you said was racist.

So what you're saying is that you know that you're a complete and utter asshole, and instead of being inspired to change, you're proud of this?

Did you... just link to PETA? The hysterical originazation that kills adoptable household pets like cats and dogs? GTFO.
