That is some sick shit right there. And I can't help feeling there's perhaps just a little bit of projection in there somewhere. I'd love to see his browser history. Actually I probably wouldn't.
In which case never having read one of his books – I tell a lie, there was something about a gunslinger and many many years ago – but not one of his horror books or whatever they are, I have no reference points to go on. 😑
Unfortunately, I had already read a hell of a lot of fantasy before LOTR came to my attention by way of my ex-wife. I started reading Lord of the rings when I probably should have started with the Hobbit, got halfway through it and gave up. It wasn't bad for something written in the 1930s, but I didn't think it was great. And I swear that the bit about Tom Bombadil contains some of the worst ever writing in the English language. I've seen the movies, on the insistence of the family, but I'm not a great fan of Jackson given his attitude towards unions. So I'll only watch pirated copies. 😁
Ah, yes, child brides. Let's be honest here, we know this guy doesn't mean that 12 year old boys should be allowed to get married. He just wants to open the freshness seal.
Seems to me that this guy makes a great argument for requiring chastity belts for men.
But, hey, never forget that it's gay men who groom children for sex with adults. We've learned that lesson time and again from good, pious, ever-so-holy christians. This creep is just the latest in a long, horrific line.
They are protecting children. They’re protecting children from being sexually abused by many men, by giving them to one man, who sexually abuses them. Never thinking they ought to do something about men sexually abusing children.
This is how the Taliban looks at it, and his mentality isn't far removed from theirs. Just a different magic book. I'm sickened by the way people like this can justify their complete lack of humanity in the name of religion, but it's an old story. No twelve year old of either sex is remotely ready for marriage.
And also the part with the "o." And also the part with the "n." And also the part with the "s." And also the part with the "e." And also the part with the other "n." And also the part with the "t."
The corruption scandal involving billionaire Nazi fanboy Harlan Crow and noted frown in a robe Uncle Thomas runs much deeper than just private-jet-setting and luxury yacht cruises- Crow bought a nice big chunk of real estate from Justice Jackoff, who then 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 forgot to include the deal on his disclosure forms. Just to make things spicier, Crow appears to have paid substantially more than market value for the properties he bought.
In contrast I remember when DM bought new tires for my best friend car and the tantrum from both sides who followed. I, not so gently, asked them to not implicate me in their "war".
Phenomenal. I have to wonder if this guy is a parent, and if so, if he'd approve of his daughter being married off at such an age. And that bit about his knowing about such a marriage is even worse, as though one supposedly positive example justifies the practice.
Moon SHOULD be thrown out of the Missouri Senate on his ass ... but it'll never happen.
Maybe in Seattle you can walk into the corner store and pick up a bottle, but not here and MIB won't loan me a neuralizer. (Just because I threatened to use it on Greg Abbott and make him forget words)
I was out on a project one time waiting for a line of truck drivers to drop off some large concrete slabs (maybe 4-5 semis, 12-15 slabs all roughly the length of the trailer). One of the drivers did come out in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops. All the rest of us had hardhats and steel toed boots. OSHA would have frowned.

I'd love for the 𝘍𝘉𝘐 to see his browser history.
That's a witch hunt. The FBI has no reason to be concerned that a man thinks it's fine for adult men to have sex with 12-year-old girls. None at all.
It's not like they have an entire division devoted to jailing adults who have sex with children.
Nothing wrong with a witch hunt when there's a real witch.
What do you hunt apart from witches?
More witches!
Willow Rosenberg?
That's a series I want to see again.
"He’s currently a member of High Street Baptist Church, “where he serves as a deacon, Sunday school teacher""
WOOP! WOOP! WOOP! PEDO ALERT! PEDO ALERT! HIDE YOUR CHILDREN NOW!!!
P-E-D-O-P-H-I-L-E! That spells Moon!
OutSTANDing.
"P-E-D-O-P-H-I-L-E! That spells Moon!"
ISWYDT :)
If this is a pun thread, I can't quite grasp it.
Naw. It's a Stephen King reference.
In which case never having read one of his books – I tell a lie, there was something about a gunslinger and many many years ago – but not one of his horror books or whatever they are, I have no reference points to go on. 😑
King's horror novels outsell mine by several parsecs. The hell with him.
Not a Stephen King's books fan. Are yours available in ebooks ?
Not a Apt Pupil are you. Must have a life of Misery.
I miss out on a lot of LoTR references, never having read the books nor seen the movies shot in NZ.
I have 9 rings to sell you
You 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐑!!!

What's LoTR? ; )
Even the Walking Dude is like, "that is some sick shit, right there"
Funny story, I live close enough to Missouri to spit on it. Maybe I should start.
I live north of Missouri. If I spit, eventually, it will end up in the Mississippi river and then on down to St. Louis.
Ah, yes, child brides. Let's be honest here, we know this guy doesn't mean that 12 year old boys should be allowed to get married. He just wants to open the freshness seal.

Bet he also thinks that child labor for boys is just fine.
And I am sure for him, Drag Queens are the ones dangerous for children.

It's just so valiant and christ-y for all those Republican christians to protect children from all the other sexual predators out there.
Christian A: My representatives want to save children.
Christian B: Will they save one for me?
I've just copied and pasted all those links for future reference. I think they're going to come in very, very handy in the near future. 😁

If you're not old enough to have a credit card, you're not old enough to get married. A failed marriage is much worse than a bankruptcy.
Never mind marriage, I'd say they aren't safe around most christians, period.
Hey, Sen. Goon...
What part of the concept of "consent" did you not understand?
The part with the "c."
And also the part with the "o." And also the part with the "n." And also the part with the "s." And also the part with the "e." And also the part with the other "n." And also the part with the "t."
Consent is for people, not girls.
The imaginary Mary sure never got the choice. She was TOLD she was going to be impregnated with her god's offspring by a halo-wearing pigeon.
Pedophilia, adultery and bestiality, all in one go.
You'd have preferred a pigeon without a halo? Ecchh, how unsanitary.
The part where the other person has a say in things.
He's a dumbfucking christian. What makes you think he understands anything at all?
OT- Oh look, what a shock, there was more to the story: https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-harlan-crow-real-estate-scotus

Will somebody PLEASE bring up the incredibly corrupt Thomas on charges of ethics violations?
No one is above the law. ESPECIALLY a freaking judge.
BUT they are just friends......
With benefits?
Not a threesome I would like to see.
just the thought of that is causing me to drink... just nooooo
Good thing you are enough here to collectively drink for me.
if you consider half a million dollar vacation benefits then sure.
In contrast I remember when DM bought new tires for my best friend car and the tantrum from both sides who followed. I, not so gently, asked them to not implicate me in their "war".
Defend the children!...From anyone who might try to save them from the pastors!
The depths of republican depravity has no bottom. So sick and disgusting.
For them, it's business as usual.
Yep, sad but true.
Phenomenal. I have to wonder if this guy is a parent, and if so, if he'd approve of his daughter being married off at such an age. And that bit about his knowing about such a marriage is even worse, as though one supposedly positive example justifies the practice.

Hmm, maybe if we dye his face black and dump him in the Tennessee legislature...
I'd rather dip his face in honey and drop him in a fire ant nest.
Either that or strip him naked, cover him entirely in honey and THEN drop him in a fire ant nest.
I was trying to avoid the need for brain bleach.
Sometimes, ya just gotta live dangerously.
Maybe in Seattle you can walk into the corner store and pick up a bottle, but not here and MIB won't loan me a neuralizer. (Just because I threatened to use it on Greg Abbott and make him forget words)
My thought precisely.
He totally would*, everyone is a sinner but the female variety is worse.
* I saw this mentality in my father's family.
Well, so much for giving my liver the day off.
Christians really do drive people to drink.
Drinking, if not suicide.
But then they'd be with Jesus. The guy who sat and watched little children being raped by their fathers.
Feature, not bug. Gun for sale. Used once.
Jesus take the wheel, I'm getting wasted.

Hope you drive an automatic. Jesus is shit on a clutch.
Never trust a driver wearing flip flops.

At least OSHA has a reason. What's my bosses excuse for making me wear jeans and sneakers in 105F weather?
Why those three redundant words at the end of your sentence?
I recommend Malibu Coconut Rum. Not Parrot-Bay.
Mary was 12 (or there abouts). Case closed.
