Got any epicanthic folds on you?
No, but some of my friends here in Sweden with significant Finnish and/or Lapp ancestry do.
I can very possibly just fix that for ya...
It mostly depends on just how awesome the first generation of kids from gay marriages turn out to be.
See? I can do the "frame the question in such a way as to prejudice the response" thing, too.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Hey, what kinda Commie propaganda you tryin' to spread there, buddy? Isn't that from Das Kapital?

TFTFY.
That's nothing new, nor do they limit their targets to Christians. I know this because I've heard about it from my dentist--an Iraqi Jew who fled the country ~30 years ago.
I guess somebody needs to go back to madrassa and review the bits about showing respect for the Peoples of the Book, eh.
The first 3 terms of the agreement are:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty within its existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine in order to influence its politics.
I don't see anything in there specifying *nuclear* force, do you?

Spot. Fucking. On.
I would even mod this up, had I not already spent my points in another thread this morning.
Typical corporate behavior - lobby incessantly against regulation but when caught in blatant malfeasance shirk accountability with the excuse "it may be unethical but it is not illegal"
It's more like, "If we ask, we know that we'll be told it's illegal. Therefore, we won't ask."
Intruder is saying he already had the right to break into the house. No need to ask for permission.
That's right. He owns the house. And guess what. A landlord can go into your apartment without your permission also.
That's not quite how it has worked in in my experience as a renter in the US, Australia, and Sweden.

People who think they're being clever by overriding my font choices tend to get ignored by me unless it's to apply a -1, Pretentious and Self-Serving. And I've mod points today. Just sayin'...
Seriously, quit trying to do the I'm A Special Snowflake Pretending I'm Using A Retro-Trendy IBM Selectric And Everyone Else Must Participate In My Little Fantasy thing and let your message speak for itself.
