By the same token, if you wanted to build one based on Mohmmad's flight to Medina, you shouldn't have a problem. Not if they are being honest about it being based on a theme park.

Because the tax money is for a theme park. The theme being religiously oriented doesn't enter into the equation.

I realize I'm only picking that last point of your discussion and ignoring the rest, but I teach my kids not to hit each other because it's WRONG. It has nothing to do with reciprocity.
A masochist may like it if I walk up and punch him/her in the face. Doesn't mean I should do it. I'd still think it was wrong.

And if the legislation just says that funding goes to a Theme Park, then there's not a problem. Wanna build a FSM theme park and get tax payer money? Go for it. My bigger complaint would be the government giving tax money to a theme park period, but that's just me.
Also, I've always been confused how an amendment that limits the US Congress stops the State legislature from doing things.

Yeah, I'd say they did offer the non-citizen argument. Are you saying that you have 100% proof that he is a natural born citizen?
There's also the question of him becoming an Indonesian citizen while living there. Did he file as a non-US citizen for college? We just don't know.

I'm failing to see where Beardo claims his kids decided. Of course he decided for them. As you state, neither of them has the ability.
As a parent, he has made the decision for them, it's what parents do.
Hopefully he discussed this with his wife. Possibly he discussed it with his kids, but maybe not.

Website Sells Pubic Lice 319
A British website called crabrevenge.com will help you prove that there is literally nothing you can't find online by selling you pubic lice. A disclaimer on the site says the creators "do not endorse giving people lice," and the lice are for "novelty purposes only." The company also boasts about a facility "where we do all of our parasite husbandry and carefully considered selective breeding." Three different packages are available: "Green package - One colony that can lay as many as 30 eggs for about $20. Blue package - Three colonies to share with your friends or freeze a batch or two for about $35. Red package - A vial of 'shampoo-resistant F-strain crabs' which can take up to two weeks to kill for about $52."
