   Christian Extremist Parents Charged For Death of D…

   While we celebrate Mother’s Day today, I ask you to remember what can happen when a mother becomes lost to the grip of Christian extremism. Back in March, ……

   ^I feel these charges are a bit extreme, but certainly the family needs to be held legally accountable, as would be expected of anyone else in our society. I guess these charges are necessary, as we can expect them to likely be found guilty of lesser charges. Good to hear people are no longer being given a religious mulligan anymore–if society is to operate in an effective manner, accountability for all actions is necessary.

   Happy godless Mothers Day to Gifsters and lurkers alike!

   what?

   Fuck Gob! Fuck religion! Fuck every single one of those stupid plastic wrapped individual roses given out to fundie mothers for contributing to some mythological, globally irresponsible quiverful! (Ya know what my quiver is full of? Fucking arrows and it doesn’t look anything like a goddamned vagina!) Fuck them standing up in church to be recognized for doing something their bodies were designed to do, may as well congratulate elephants on their stature and girth or sloths on their fetching slimy coating! Which isn’t to say mothers aren’t great- though no more so than fathers. But fuck this stupid greeting card and florist industry creation of a holiday because, if you don’t love your mother year round and behave in such a way as she knows it, then a dozen roses, a smarmy card, and an all you can eat buffet- complete with omelet station- are not going to make up for it. There are just as many bad mothers as there are good and most of them are average at best. Motherhood as some abstract concept is teeth achingly saccharine sentimentalism. The biological ability to conceive, carry, and birth young is an accident of genetics and out of our hands unless and until science extends it’s reach. It’s chance, not an accomplishment and I refuse to participate until a day is set aside to acknowledge and fete those of us who have endured the years of the most acute growing pains involved with striving for such breathtaking highs as 76^1/2 inches above sea level. That’s right, motherfucking 6′-4^1/2” Day!

   /what?

   I hope all of you Mothers have a great day

   Killing your kids for any reason is no reason at all. I do not mean an abortion I mean exactly what I said. Terminating your pregnancy is not a killing. I hope you understand?. A zygote is not a baby.

   Hope all you Mom’s had a good day. My kids all gave me a call, which they do every day, but it’s nice they remembered today. Mom’s do a lot for their kids, much more than just birthing them…and it’s a job we never can retire from. It’s for life. (My middle son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law gave me a necklace of diamonds and sapphires this year. What a surprise! I couldn’t believe it. My kids are so good to me, not just on Mother’s Day, but every day.

   Yes, Jeff…the omelets are good…and the strawberry waffles I make for my bunch.

   RDZ
   There has been an email inquiry regarding you. I posted it in the thread from Feb. 20, 2008- Paging Governor Skink- as that was the post the email referenced.

    This sort of reflects what Raindogzilla was saying in his above comment about how people make one day a year for Mothers . . .

    LeBron yells at mom to sit down after hard foul

    LeBron’s mother came to his defense, (he was embarrassed to be mommied I am sure, and has a right to be a little pissed off about it…BUT…the language he used was pretty bad.)

    To the reporters he said

    “I told her to sit down with some language I shouldn’t have used. Thank God today wasn’t Mother’s Day, it was yesterday,” James said after Monday night’s 88-77 victory.

    So, you aren’t supposed to swear at your Mother on Mother’s Day but other days it’s ok…
