Condoms For First Graders?

And even if the school board is predominantly liberal, or ick, even gay, from what do you conclude that their goofy school boarding represents some sort of larger political trend? This is what I term the outrage culture, in which the media spoon feeds people largely meaningless, completely symbolic stories about people in other towns doing crazy outrageous things, and tells these people that said stories somehow represent larger national trends, in this case the left's plan to turn your cute little first grader into a camel porn watching fornicating gay Muslim, meanwhile distracting from issues of actual substance. This is a non-issue. If you don't like the board's policy, don't move to that town. End of story.

Second, Buster, you should really see a therapist. So much anger! At least Firstdown seems like a nice guy.

Third, USA! I'm proud of our boys, hell of a world cup.

Holla!

Absolutely agree. I haven't wanted to post anything, I've just been reading this and it made me think of a number of our more controversial threads. Basically we'll have an extremely sensible post that basically neither side could argue against like this one.

Instead, both sides ignore and just want to continue to attacks back and forth...
