I have been watching the American GOP kerfuffle.

The religious nuts are out there shining with all their brilliance......

I am really worried for my American neighbours ...... there is quite a divide growing there.

I am looking to the upcoming presidential election to get a sense of where they are at.

This stuff is creeping across our border as well and we do need to be aware of it.

As soon as I see family, values, or marriage anywhere in a political name I am on alert.

I have watched as these nut groups that wield political influence arm wrestle and bully candidates into signing these so called pledges.    If you don't sign ... oh my! ... now you are the enemy!

We do love our enemies don't we ......

Cynical here today as well I suppose .... and scared......

Hi DaisyJane,

With time I am becoming more disciplined.  I can hold hands now without it triggering anything even remotely sexual.

There was a time though.  When I was 18.  Where the gateway was much less than holding hands.  My engine would start revving the minute opposite gender showed up.

That said, it appears that the Tennessee Senate needs some more work to do. 

But then, while I was typing out Tennessee, I wondered if they might have a point.  Look what happens to all those letters when you let them sit that close together.  They multiply like rabbits!

Grace and peace to you.

John

Thanks  John.  You provided my morning laugh!

There must be many kids on leashes in Tennessee, since parents wouldn't want to be seen holding their child's hand when crossing the street.

Have they banned blinking?  It could be used to attract sexual attention if someone dared to bat their eyes.

Now come on, what do they hope to accomplish?

I mean if a big ol'chew with brown dribble don't even slow down the urge for french kissing, this ain't got much hope.

What is next ---- banning family reunions?

Hi SG,

Well don't that bring back chunky memories of breakfast.  And heck, it kills all desire at the same time.  Two birds with one stone.

Maybe that should have been first.

Grace and peace to you.

John

Having been a teenage boy at one time, I can assure them that breathing is a gateway to sexual activity.

Why don't we just take a lesson out of "The Giver" by Lois Lowry?  We'll give the kids pills to eliminate all sexual desire when they reach puberty.  We don't have to go as far as they did in the book and never allow sexual desire, though.  We could just let them stop taking the pills when they get married.

LOL!

Aptly put :)
 

ahh, I'm glad you're back and in fine form, Witch :3

Hmmm. So my company supplies oxygen to help people breath. Does that mean we're in the sex trade?

I will have you know that I can hold my breath and think of sex at the same time.

Only a quickie though, anything ele would kill me.

I thought math made everyone horny as hell. Trigonometry was so hot it hurt. And creationism! I hope they don't try teaching creationism in Tennesse — athat's a gateway activity if ever there was one —  there'd be orgies in the classroom at the mention of Genesis… just say if five times slowly and see if you're not turned on!!

"ACUTE!  OH, HYPOTENUSE ME!"

Triangles turned you on, eh, InannaWhimsey?

It was parabolas for me.....

Sex therapy, perhaps...

Enabler of a sex addiction?

Is there something else they would rather we hold????

Witch.  You have no idea how hard your comment made me laugh.

This thread explains why my wife calls me "one track"

Well, if you don't believe in teaching your teens about condoms, birth control, imtimacy with self-respect....I guess you have no choice to monitor every other little thing that pops up!  NOTE to the boyos...little is just a term of endearment in this case. 

Arm-wrestlin'.... It's another gateway to sexual activity.

Blinkin'... that's a gateway.

Chewin' on old brown dribble... that's a gateway.

Bein' in fine form... that's a gateway.

Holdin' things... that's a gateway.

ahhh nothing like snorting with laughter at 11:30 at night and family member gives you a funny look.

snortin' with laughter... that's a gateway.

there is a good reason for this ruling, as this piccy of a teacher in Tennis shows (the artist is now in an asylum)
