As someone with actual firearms training my advice is leave your firearm at home. You probably don’t have enough experience, scenario or actual, in using a firearm to make it an effective self defense. Get a cane. Nobody can fuck a cane up.

Even church weddings are secular. Your marriage is not valid until the Marriage Certificate (a government form) is filed with the county.

Look, I’m as liberal as they come. Hell, I’m borderline democratic socialist, in that I think the U.S. should run a lot of its systems more akin to Canada and Western Europe in order to achieve a better quality of of life for our citizens in the long run.

I just couldn’t get on board with Hillary’s pant suits, but then I don’t like pant suits, so it’s my problem. I know a lot of younger women think that dresses and skirts are a nod to patriarchy, but I love being able to move and sit without my butt and crotch getting all pinched and such. Also cooler. I’ll bet men are…

Both these things are not true.

People who say “Judeo-Christian” really just mean “Christian.” They add the meaningless “Judeo-” because they like to pretend that they’re not anti-Semites.

My wedding ceremony included a quote from The Who. Music to take acid to is closest thing we have to religion in my house. :)

As my father said years ago*, “they’re making it legal; they’re not making it fucking obligatory…”

I’m sorry, you are simply mistaken. That a crazy woman in I-forget-what-shitty-state did that was against the law. No one can reject your legal marriage license, and that kind of thing doesn’t happen to 99% of people trying to get married. If I get married again, no one will ask me my religion. That information does…

You don’t have to have religion involved to get married, at all. Atheists and agnostics get married all the time. I understand that it is common for people to involve their religion when they get married, but no one is obligated to. You can go to the courthouse. You can have a secular party and be married by anyone…

But marriage is already a legally binding contract with no religious implications. You don’t have to have any religious implications to it if you don’t want to.

These activists teach other people’s children that homoeroticism and biological-sex rejection (i.e., “transgenderism”) are phenomena to be celebrated.

I speak English, have highly specialized just job skills, and have financial means to support myself BECAUSE my great-grandparents were allowed to immigrate to the US. They were penniless peasants who were driven off the shtetl.

Man, I just can’t WAIT to see my in-laws this weekend; they’re going to absolutely adore this development. My mother in law LOVES to complain about all the immigrants who “can’t bother to learn English” and bemoans things like bilingual church services.

Why don’t people just talk to an immigrant and find out that immigrants (except permanent residents) are not eligible for welfare anyways. My BIL was an English speaking highly skilled engineer who immigrated to the county on a work visa. He paid social security taxes the whoe time he was here, but he knew those were…

If we had enacted this legislation 100 years ago, most of the people championing it wouldn’t be Americans.

This is a goddamn idiotic bill for a billion reasons.

A couple things I’d like to bring up / share:

I immigrated from South Vietnam in the closing days of what, over there, is known as “The American War” when I was 4 years old. I left on a CIA plane (my mom worked for the CIA and my dad was a South Vietnamese officer) on April 19, 1975. In a week and a half, South Vietnam ceased to exist as a nation. I literally…

I was reading an interesting article the other day about how businesses not really training people well and not mentoring is going to utterly screw us once the Baby Boomers finish retiring in a decade or so. Like, now everyone exoects you to come in knowing everything and it’s hard to get mentoring to move up the…
