This should be interesting:



FYI, Giles County is on the Appalachian side of VA. Sorry, mason.

Oh sweet spreadable christ on a holy wafer wheat thin with jesus sauce.

So, they'd have no problem with posting sections of the Koran up? How 'bout tracts from the Book of Mormon? Or a treatise on how atheism is the way to go?

I want to be around when both Christianity and Caucasians are the minority just to see these same people see this bullshit swing back around on them.

Seriously, folks. If the evil secular public schools aren't to your liking, send your brats to a private christian school. Apply those flippin' free market rules you fat, pasty faced reactionaries are always going on about.

They have money for this but if the school wanted to build a new science lab or library it would be hell no.

Yeah, Virginia is great.

Some asshat state senator is fighting right now to have the requirement for girls to be vaccinated against HPV prior to entering the sixth grade overturned.

Easy access to guns doesn't lead to more gun crime in VA but Vaccinating against STD's does lead to kids having sex earlier?

Did I ever tell everyone how much I love living here. As long as Pat (closet homo) Robertson has his compound and moronic followers here we'll never get away from the holy rollers.

Yay, don't need tapatalk.

we haven't had a raise in three years, but they created an "academy" for those who want to apply for a head custodian position. Training on how to tell man or woman to clean that shit up. And don't mix ammonia with cocaine. What a bargain.

One reason out of <insert number too large to actually be counted> that I can't wait to get out of here. Final countdown....less than 6 months.

I'm not saying I want to leave this state, I love living here and the people are for the most part tolerable. I just hope in the future it gets a little more blue over time but I think with Allen throwing his hat back in the ring, the state takes a few steps back.

No, I know. I'm the one that said that.

I didn't mean it like that but I understand your reasoning. Hell, PA is on my top 3 of places to escape to

I'm definitely excited by the potential.

I could honestly care less about what color they are, but the day the christian right is a true minority will be a day of celebration for me. It's coming, at last count roughly 18% of Americans identified themselves as atheist, agnostic or non-religious; if you add Jews, Muslims, pagans and other minority religions into the mix and nearly a third of Americans are not Christians. Another third identify themselves as casual or non practicing Christians, that leaves only a third that truly see themselves as Christian and only half of them are the regular church going zealots that make up the formal religious right. This is a change from the early nineties when roughly half of all Americans identified themselves as practicing Christians and less than 10% identified themselves as atheist, agnostic or non-religious. That's nearly double the heathens and half the zealots in a mere twenty years.

Maybe in another twenty years all us heathens will have a large enough base to really have a voice in national politics (of course then we'll probably have to deal with Christian suicide bombers).

Somebody ought to tell them the Old Testament also bans cheeseburgers.

Look further north, bud. May I remind you that this state has been fairly accurately described as Pittsburgh and Philly with Alabama in between, that even in pittsburgh there are loons who shoot cops for irrational fear of jackbooted gun grabbing, that I myself have seen ritual burning sacrifice to jesus in my area, and in my opinion if you need to escape you'll find no welcome in philly as I expect them to actually enact strict curfews and such.

Yeah! I'm all for bible passages in the classroom for the kiddies to see. Let's start with one of my faves - Ezekiel 23:20

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses"

It's in the holy bible, so it has to be the word of God, right?

What's wrong with tapatalk? I like using it on my X.

tapatalk updated itself right off of my apple 3.1.2ish iphone.

Ahh. I've never had an issue. Could be because I'm running Android...

I don't recall droid being around when I got the iphone 2.5 years ago. And I'm not ready to accept the shackles in another contract yet.

Yeah, it's only been around for about 2 years (next month.)

Sorry for the AT&T though man... I finally switched over to Verizon this last fall. What a huge difference.

Actually, I've never had a problem with them. Not one dropped call ever, 3g signal good enough to stream hours of "America Left" or "Sirius Left" over the net for all but about 5 miles of my daily 150 mile slog. Never too much data traffic from others preventing me from connecting. Att's been fine for me.

As far as vzw, for all the 4g commercials I see, they have no 4g around me.

Lastly, there's the tech. I'll take tdma/gsm with the swappable sim cards over verizon's cdma dedicated equipment any day.
