So will we gals have to wear burqas under the Christian Taliban, or
will the love of mammon win out and stick with the "sex sells" "principle"?

1. sadly yes and veils too
it should diminish any chances of skin cancers from the beach, of course. also, walk the requisite 6 feet behind your husbands or any companion males.

13. Pretty much

Either my body is to be objectified or abhored.

Why can't it just be respected as being MINE?

7. No but we will have to wear trailer park hair-dos and
baggy long dresses to cover up the constant pregnancies we will be enjoying. We will be barefoot because we had a choice between buying shoes or a sacks of beans and rice to feed our many kids, while our unemployed husbands take whatever cash is available to spend on booze and drugs.

8. Boy, we say the Repubs are cruel and harsh and ugly
THIS is pitiful. We are doing just as bad as they ever did. Bashing a group tghat had nothing to do with the failure of Kerry to win. Bush started a war without cause; this type talk starts a war without provocation as well. Sad. When we need to pull together, we blame Christians. Guess ya gotta blame someone.

fear and lies. Take that speech back to where you got it.

17. The fundies were to blame. They voted for bigotry.
Then, as a bonus, they voted for Bush. So yes, they get a large part of the blame.

Screw the "armies of compassion." They can fuck themselves with their "polearms of compassion."

22. No, I don't blame the Christians.
I just got a card in the mail from one of the "Prophetic Ministries."

Prophetic Ministry? What is that? That is the group that marks through all the passages of the Bible that they don't like, and pushes the parts that they do.

"Deuteronomy 2:24-25 declares, 'Set out now...take possession of it and engage him in battle. This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heave. They will hear reports of you and will tremble...because of you.' This is the time to take possession of it and ENGAGE the enemy! Our guest speakers will be imparting a rhema word in the nightly meetings."

And what might that be? Cross Burning, Crystal Night?

You cannot overly revile these groups.

15. Not long enough, is it? Gotta trip over it when you walk otherwise
your sexy ankles might stir up lust in some unwitting man's heart. *l*

19. Gonna have to stock up on
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 07:09 PM by Southpaw Bookworm
Ankle length denim skirts -- the uniform for women Shiite Christians.

I'll have to grow my hair too -- mine is too short so as to properly distinguish me from a man. How long will it take to get to my waist?
