They're Rethugs, they do not know how to communicate with women, they can only order them about, especially at sammich time and for coffee.

The parts that haven't been wrecked by stripmining are beautiful.

It's like employees washing their hands. Rethugs can talk about rape, but they have to install a sign. On their backs. Saying "Kick me".

Not to brag Mr Householder, but I figured that out that over <i>seven</i> months ago.

I'm OK with the advising on spiritual matters. But when they start pontificating about marriage and sex I laugh and cry.

You left out the beautiful moment when the sacred unborn innocent human life is born and transforms into a taker sucking at society's teat. Also, if Muslim, becomes a terrorist.

We have flexible laws about that. Typical example: <blockquote>Connecticut recognizes that minors who are at least 13 can consent to sexual activity if (and only if) there is less than a 3-year age difference.</blockquote>

The 13 year-old is presumed competent to consent to a 15 year-old, but incompetent when a 17 year-old is involved.
