Institutionalized religion always works to protect itself. Christianity is no exception.

Remember Todd Akin’s comment on sexual assault?

"It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”

Not that it matters if an abortion is requested due to rape or any other reason, but this quote really drives home that it isn’t really about protecting children despite that last line: they think all women who get abortions should be punished for being murderous sluts despite all evidence to the contrary.

We need to get Tucker back in to a studio with him to get roasted over his slack-jaw stare and fascist tendencies.

Hadrian’s Wall marked the boundary between Roman Britannia and unconquered Caledonia to the north.

It’s pretty shocking, but I can fit 2 Ds in my mouth.

And his throw pillows, too.

I feel like you should every now and then…

According to Hill, Clarence Thomas asked her out socially many times during her two years of employment as his assistant, and after she declined his requests, he used work situations to discuss sexual subjects and push advances. “He spoke about… such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes,” she said, adding that on several occasions Thomas graphically described “his own sexual prowess” and the details of his anatomy. Hill also recounted an instance in which Thomas examined a can of Coke on his desk and asked, “Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?”

Even Murphy’s law has exceptions!

Never watched AVE, I used to be an auto tech.

The Wikipedia article has an interesting summary.

Looks like it wasn’t intended by the initial patent, but was discovered as a useful property.

Yeah, they’re literally made to cam out.

Useful for automation, but terrible for repairs.

No, my logic is that we have a self-selecting population of highly motivated and ambitious people who want to be Americans.

To turn them away is foolish if you care about the economic and cultural wealth of the nation.

And you still haven’t clarified what “traditional values” are opposed to immigrants; even the fucking Romans welcomed people into their citizenry.

Oh, I see.

You don’t care about the truth.

It all makes sense now.

So when you said the UK isn’t a nation of migrants you knew you were wrong?

Some people actually aren’t afraid of history, to the despair of conservatives worldwide.

Also, what a fun admission that Europeans invaded the Americas. I’m sure you’ll be logically consistent there.

Someone tell the 1066 Normans they were actually born in England.

Oh, and the Romans.

Oh, and the Saxons.

What “traditional values” are you talking about?

We’re a nation of migrants; you don’t get to rewrite history because it makes you mad.

The first immigration law passed in this country was a process for naturalization; it doesn’t get more traditional than that.
