I don't know how you feel, but I'm pretty sick of church people. You know what they ought to do with churches? Tax them. If holy people are so interested in politics, government, and public policy, let them pay the price of admission like everybody else. The Catholic Church alone could wipe out the national debt if all you did was tax their real estate.
Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?
The things they don't tell you in schools these days, geez. Have a look at your owners. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice; you have owners. They own you. They own everything.
If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders.
If God had intended us not to masturbate, He would have made our arms shorter.
I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions.
People who see life as anything more than pure entertainment are missing the point.
Life is a series of dogs.
If you love someone set them free. If they come back, set them on fire.
There may or may not be atheists in foxholes, but I'm certain there are none in the Ku Klux Klan.
It's not in the mainstream media yet, but the biggest jump in skin cancer has occurred since the advent of sunscreens. That kind of thing makes me happy. The fact that people, in pursuit of a superficial look of health, give themselves a fatal disease. I love it when 'reasoning' human beings think they have figured out how to beat something and it comes right back and kicks them in the nuts. God bless the law of unintended consequences. And the irony is impressive: Healthy people, trying to look healthier, make themselves sick. Good!
Is there another word for synonym?
I don't like to think of laws as rules you have to follow, but more as suggestions.
Things I wonder about the FBI's list of the "Ten Most Wanted" criminals: When they catch a guy and he comes off the list, does number eleven automatically move up? And does he see it as a promotion? Does he call his criminal friends and say, "I made it, Bruno. I'm finally on the list"?
