Why should faith be respected?
Why should faith be respected?
I am bisexual and somewhat poly. With some of my friends I have a more publicly physical/intimate relationship. We may hold hands, hug, or kiss. In private, we cuddle and… do other things as well. I imagine the straights of Lemmy will largely tell you they don’t cuddle their male friends while the queer folk will give a different answer.
Why is this a survey? A survey is a tool used to approximate the distribution of opinions held among a population. What this survey is attempting to measure is a detectable fact, though. It would be more appropriate to do a statistical analysis of actual grocery costs over time.
Back in the day, the plant cannabis was referred to as “marihuana” to associate its use with Mexicans, who were (are?) often maligned as migrants, itinerants, etc. Those people could then be made the subject of racist laws and wind up arrested or deported.
This article goes into a couple explanations and offers a different one that’s maybe less racist. https://www.sacurrent.com/cannabis/why-some-people-believe-marijuana-is-a-racist-word-and-why-it-doesnt-offend-me-31654627
Embarrassingly late, as usual.
That’s because him shutting up for three consecutive seconds would be the smartest thing they ever heard.
How do you like my balls to your foot style?
Biden needs campaign ads calling Trump out for passing unconstitutional anti-gun legislation.
Didn’t legalization in Colorado lead to less youth usage?
Tori Amos’s Silent All These Years. That mercurial little piano riff. The painful lyrics. The liberation of the middle eight. It’s a perfect song.
“Filmed on a canoe” is how I put it.
The sequel was worse: a hackneyed “elements” magic system and a plot that would only work on a much longer time scale. Too much stuff crammed into too little movie.
I get it. I love the slow pace, the beautiful cinematography, the careful dialog. But it’s not for everyone.
Gavin McInnes stuck a plug up his ass to own the libs. Anytime you think you’re inventing something so ridiculous the right can’t possibly have done it, you’re probably wrong.
Dolly Parton is the kind of saint the Catholic Church will never canonize.
We have One Particular Family who ran Trump and Tina Peters campaign yard signs for months back in the day, but who have conspicuously shut the fuck up since all the convictions and such. Their back yard butts up to public space where I plan on dropping at least one. I won’t mess with their private property, but I will put a flag down behind their house.
Yeesh. Colorado has a lot of rural space with a lot of folks who think like that. The borders between the liberal city/college types and the MAGA country types can be pretty thin.
I bought a bunch of little pride flags to stick in the ground around the neighborhood and a banner for my front yard when I saw this a couple days ago. Fortunately I live in a great city for queer folk, but you go just a mile north or east of here and it gets ugly pretty fast.
First, I didn’t say the people shouldn’t be respected. I said faith shouldn’t be. It’s the worst, least reliable way to draw conclusions about the world. A method that only ever produces falsehoods is not respectable. Why should I respect it?
