 You creep me out so you should definitely be illegal.mrussel1 said:
 Not to be a dick, but do you think that all things that creep you out should be illegal?tempo_n_groove said:
 I'm all for a nationwide ban actually. Those things creep me out... If your kids are in them I don't know how you do it.Merkin Baller said:
 Has the state of Florida banned children's beauty pageants yet?
 I forget that everyone takes everything literally on here. I don't care for them. Can you imagine a law trying to be passed to ban these things? Dude, you'd have mothers uniting with pitchforks and SUV's all over the country.
 No you don't creep me out and no I don't think everything should be banned...Wow.0

 It's really funny how so much blatant looking-the-other-way has gone on in so many areas (not the least of which you reference here), and they just want to focus on "drag shows." It's like telling your kids they can't have bananas because they have more sugar than other fruits but then giving them cake for three meals a day.mrussel1 said:Hey JB128716 do you think we should ban children from Christianity in total, or just Catholicism?

 If I didn't know any better (and I don't) I'd say they don't give a damn about "the children."Post edited by Sea on1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

            What is the question in this fun thread? Haven't seen it before. Maybe I can supply a correct answer."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0

 I'm not sure you want any part of this. This is a slur that the right wing has begun to marginalized communities, accusing them of trying to turn children transgender.Spiritual_Chaos said:What is the question in this fun thread? Haven't seen it before. Maybe I can supply a correct answer.
 Some of us believe that's silliness, particularly compared to religious and gun nuts who indoctrinate children into those toxic cultures.0

 It's pretty apparent to me that this is so much more about stoking homophobia than it is about protecting children.mrussel1 said:

 They're far less concerned about groomers in the church or anywhere else for that matter, which should tell you all you need to know.Post edited by Merkin Baller on0
