Stangmar FTW.

I plan on printing this, and posting it at my job.

sigh.

Heh, nice.

I'm quite interested in public health care thank you.

Hey, it isn't my responsibility to pay for anybody's health care but my own. If you want something, you need to go out, kill it, and drag it home yourself. Do I think health care should be as expensive as it is today? Hell no, and we need to go after this despicable mentality that enables a hospital to charge $200 for an aspirin. But I'll pay for my own insurance, and you pay for yours.

EDIT: As a bonus, not only is it the fact that I don't want to subsidize that, but it takes more independence away from the people. We need to stand on our own feet as best as we can, and not rely on the government, lest we become slaves to the government. Public health care will be just another thing for some corrupt president down the line to hold over our heads.

Can I paint this on the curb and make you bite it while I curbstomp you, Mr. My Religion Defines People's Rights?

Most of this is full of dumb. Especially article X. Article X makes Americans look like dumbasses. In almost every other country it is not uncommon for people to know several different languages. The fact that we do not encourage learning more languages in this country is embarrassing. The fact that we actually have people who refuse to even want to learn, or even disagree with teaching it in schools is something that makes me cringe. We look stupid when we spout crap like that.

I'm not entirely sure about the truth of article XI, either. Wasn't "IN GOD WE TRUST" (thank you for the caps?) declared the national motto much later?

Article X is not talking about not learning other languages. Article X is about places like in California where most places have to legally have a Spanish translator because quite a few people refuse to learn English. In fact, most signs in stores are in both English and Spanish because so many people have completely refused to learn English. I'm all for keeping your heritage and your language, but when a large part of the country is forced to change the way things work simply because people won't learn the national language, there is something seriously wrong.

I don't think it's so much that we don't advocate the learning of other languages, but rather we'd like for English to be the primary language for all of our citizens. We'd like to be able to carry on a conversation in English and hold a reasonable expectation that we'll be understood by everyone present.

If I move to Mexico, I'll learn spanish. I expect the same courtesy from them.

Um.. do you realize that pretty much the best known of the Founding Fathers hoped religion would never be a major component of our national identity?

And beyond that, I agree with Ialie, that list is just filled, in general, with massive amounts of dumb.

Only in that it states what should be obvious. I mean, clearly, if you stab yourself in the face with a screwdriver, its your own fault

My religion's opposition to same-sex marriage is more than just the fact that we consider homosexuality to be wrong. It is also because we encourage a strong family unit where there is a mother and a father(This one offends people because it sounds like we're unconditionally attacking families affected by divorce as well. For clarification, we encourage people to try to work it out, but understand that sometimes there are issues that just can't be worked out), so that children receive the nurturing that only a mother can truly give, and the strong father figure that only a father can give, a situation in which children generally tend to do the best(assuming the parents married for the right reason and work together well).

We're not trying to say, BAD SINNER! BAD!
We're trying to protect the family.

So relax and take a chill pill, Mr. I must bring down religion(I can be a 2nd grader too!)

That is such utter bull. There is nothing that only a mother or father can provide. That is a stereotype that is so insanely full of holes it isn't even funny. Since when can only a mother be nurturing? I was closest to my grandmother growing up. My mother was completely incapable of being nurturing. My father and then step father were both horrible father figures.

What the hell do you even consider a "strong father figure"? Is that taking care of your family? Cause why can't a mother support the family money-wise? Is it being able to do "manly" things like work on cars? Hell, I don't know jack about cars, where as my friend's fiance, a girl, is a mechanic where he's a nurse.

Your whole concept of the roles of a man and woman in a relationship is so outdated that it's kind of disgusting. I take offense to the idea that I can't care for my kids on an emotional level to match what their mother could, and I take offense to the idea that a mother couldn't show a son how to be a good, decent, honest, hard-working person.

Just ugh at every idea you just projected there.

Ah, gay marriage. One of the few subjects I won't touch

Wasn't added until 1954. It's only 54 year's history. Sorry to disappoint you. Please try again later. Thank you.

man I just realized i got trolled by stangmar

well played, sir

Yeah, that last one is kind of an awkward one. I don't understand why people get so upset about words on money though. I don't have strong feelings either way when it comes to religion, but it annoys me when people have a fit about dumb stuff like that.
