 No One's Told Him There Are Liberals In The Army

The US should ship liberals to the mideast to die. I plan to join the military soon, will have my gun and my gear. Remember liberals, i am pledged to fight enemies both foreign and domestic. Keep up your shit, I don't need a justification from God to blow your traitorous, fucked-up heads off.

 Apparently someone's forgetting about those constitutional rights and stuff.  Thanks, the Army does not need any more stupid.

Degree in Marriage and Motherhood

I went to a wonderful consertive Christian college, Hyles-Anderson. They actually have a 4 year degree there that is called "Marriage and Motherhood". Its a mix of home eco.,counseling, and education classes. I think its perfect for the future housewife and homeschooling Mom and if for some reason I ever need to work outside the home I have a B.S. degree

I'd laugh but it just makes me sad.  I just hope she never needs to use it.

We Know Who Slept Through History Class

The Crusades weren't Christian. Christianity teaches salvation by faith, not by going on crusades. The Inquisition went after protestants and Bibles. They burnt Bibles. Salem witch trials were actually witches burning Christians.

I don't understand why people feel the need to act as if Christianity has not had its horrible moments.  Its mistakes.  (Especially since I detect the Catholic-blame in this one.)  The Church is made up of people, flawed creatures that we are.  It's not important that it be perfect (especially since all these things seemed like a good thing at the time to the people making the judgement call - morality does change over time), but more that we be able to acknowledge that mistakes were made, apologize, and go forth to do better.

Mike Pearl Rears His Ugly Head

If they go out to the bathroom, go with them. Never allow them to spend the night with friends or cousins. Slumber parties are sin parties. Never allow them to listen to music through headphones. Three-minute phone conversations, no chat rooms, no surfing the web for any reason. Parents should make it physically impossible for them to even access the web. We didn’t allow our children to spend time in their bedrooms unless they were working on a project or reading. Bedroom doors were always kept open, except for two minutes while dressing.

Sadly, his children are grown and the damage has been done.

More Creepy Pearls of "Wisdom"

Raising daughters is not a good business deal. You make a twenty-year investment and then just up and give the whole thing away to an inexperienced boy who doesn’t at all appreciate the value of what he is getting, and is probably not worthy of the gift, or “theft,” as it may be. To top it all off, he changes her name – takes her out of the family, and erases all traces of her lineage. Her children will not carry on your family name!

The 'inexperienced boy' bit is kind of creepy.  But the whole thing is. Beyond words.

That place can't be accredited. I can't see how requiring faculty to "win souls" is remotely legal. I can't find anything about accreditation on their website, either. I hope she realizes her degree isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

It's not accredited. In fact, according to the wiki entry on it, there's actually a sermon about why they don't seek accreditation.

Wow. What's worse are the pictures of their church and how full they are. I can't believe people would go for that.

- If he tries to enlist, I hope they turn him down!

- Re parenthood #1 - good way to raise kids with a huge "gotta rebel" reaction. Not to mention incapable of making decisions or able to support themselves.

- Re daughters - gotta hope he (gotta be a he) doesn't have any.

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, he has 1 (I think only 1).

He's a published author of parenting books, unfortunately.

RE parenthood #1, a lot of these people don't seem to consider your children being able to think as the end-state.

Urk. And how do they expect their kids to become independent productive adults? Or do they expect their kids to live at home forever, doing whatever Mummy or Daddy tell them to do? Oops, sorry, doing whatever Daddy tells them to do.

The first one reminds me of when I was on recruiter's assistance. There was a country mullet boy in the office, telling me about how happy he was to be joining the Air Force. One of his reasons included, and I quote, "No gays in the military!'

Needless to say, myself and the two recruiters were biting our lips to keep from laughing, and managed to refrain from comment. Sigh. <3

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

Yes, hear me laughing with you.

Of course, now, let's be fair, we had plenty of screw-up straights. Like SSgt "Heart Attack In The Strip Joint", for example.

Luckily, he'll probably never figure out the guy he's working next to is gay.

[raeyn.livejournal.com]

He was a SSgt at the time, then? He was a TSgt when I got to Medina, so... creepy mofo he was.

And yeah, probably not. But it's always amusing to hear which MOSes/AFSCs are more 'anti-gay' than others; the cops are a hoot when it comes to gay men vs. gay women :D

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

I thought he was a SSgt. Might have been a TSgt. Still creepy guy.

I remember when Tony and I were talking about going to Garmisch, and Man-salad started bringing up the spas and naked guys, and getting way too close to Tony... creepy.

But, gay girls are okay! Because Two Chicks is HOT, and maybe they won't mind if you join in/watch. And, they're not threatening, like the gay guys who will jump their bones because they're (the straight guys) are So Hot.

/extreme sarcasm, last paragraph

[raeyn.livejournal.com]

Amen on the sarcasm, even if that's exactly what some of those guys are thinking :)

And I thought Man-salad was the heart attack guy? It happened not too long before I got there, so I could've gotten my people mixed up. Not that it really matters in ye olde work place wtfery.

Geez, the military fanatic is in for a rude awakening and will probably annoy the shit out of everyone, including the more conservative-types...

And I will have to get a nice picture of Mike Pearl to post as a target. What a fucking sexist pig. Not that I mean to offend the innocent pigs.

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

Poor pigs. They're always being maligned.

Backtrack to Mike Pearl's site and read the full articles.

God, please save me from Your fan clubs.

JOBTW, the FLDS has a web site: www.fldstruth.org.

Because, you know, nothing's funnier in the saddest way than watching the rats try to defend themselves.

I have read some of his stuff (I had an anti-spanking website bookmarked that attacked a lot of it, but it got lost), and I don't have enough brain bleach in the house.

Note: the "anti-spanking" was not anti-giving your kids a swat now and then, but anti-beating your kids and calling it "spanking".

FLDS - the thing that makes me mad is that someone didn't do something sooner. Grrr.

I also didn't realize they had nutjobs outside San Angelo - although I don't think they were there when we were going to tech school there (2000).
