i didn't wanna go to my family reunion yesterday, either - but it went very well. hopefully yours will, too.

damn, too bad candyman went off when he did - he'd finally have a DGNer in his area! man, i actually miss that crazy guy a bit, but anyway... XstompXstompX we have a few vets here, btw, so you're definitely not alone.

such hate expressed for our Constitution in this thread, phee. someone asked "what's Obama think he's doing?" he's LIVING UP TO HIS OATH OF OFFICE. as for the remarks about not being to build a church in Muslim countries: what - is that the level of behaviour we have to measure up to in your eyes? We're obligated to treat religious minorities in our land the same way they do in theirs? Really? Well, fuck that - I'll take freedom and tolerance any day.

1st Amendment ftw!! :animier: :animier: I love living on a land where an intolerant majority can't strongarm and cow a beleaguered minority into not pursuing their happiness. If I were a religious man, I'd say, "bless you, Mr. President," but since I'm not, I'll just go like this: :jamin :jamin

if I can ever bring myself to eat at a Denny's again, I'll definitely order one. not too likely to happen, though.

love 'em! :D I'll never go see them again, though. they're as bad live as they are good on record.

a big heaping platter of fried tarantulas: they're popular in Cambodia. they don't look deep fried, so I didn't put this in the deep fried thread.

according to this guy, it is. The people pushing it are trying to make other people stop reading the Bible. http://gawker.com/5608853/emc2-is-a-liberal-conspiracy
