Because Tim Poole is just as much of an alt-tight sleezebag as the rest of the alt-right conservatives. He’s such a fucking fReEtHiNkEr. Tim Poole can eat all of the bags of dicks. All of them.
Well, we should probably save a couple bags, there’s a lot more shitty people out there. I’ll agree that he can eat MOST of the bags of dicks

Bro, my kids literally can’t drive. If I don’t want them to go to senator story hour, I wouldn’t take them to senator story hour.
Truthfully I don’t give even 1/3 of a fuck what scumbags you juggalo idiots give access to your children, but just don’t be aw shucks palms up disingenuous about the influence the scumbags you choose have.
What makes drag queens scum bags?
You just told on yourself, bro.
Told on himself in what way?
Yep. What a way indeed.
If you could answer honestly, you would have answered. Instead, you deflected like a coward. Everything you say is a vacuous as your skull.
🙄
Thanks for proving my point. You’ve got nothing worth saying but you just can’t resist saying something. Get help, you really need it.
It sure does seem like you care. That’s like the only thing I know about you.
I don’t care if people fuck up their stupid kids by giving bad actors access to influence over them, I care about truthfully admitting that’s what’s happening.
What if they disagree with you? Will you mind your own business? Or are you a busybody?
I’m allowed to comment on any stupid shit that occurs.
Idk bruh you seem big mad about the whole thing, not sure I can take the claim at face value.
And for the record, I don’t give a shit if Republican senators want to read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” to some kids.
The thing is, there’s more disingenuousness there. Because story selection, performance, and editorial comments thrown in matter. Do you not know how to recognize manipulation techniques?
Is that what they do? You’re sure they don’t just read a story? Have you been to many?
You’re being glib so you don’t have to admit it’s possible to influence children by reading them a story carefully chosen, read in a specific way, and adding in specific comments.
I’m just asking about your experience with Drag Queen Story Hour.
The same could be said about Sunday school, right? A setting where a story is chosen to be read to children with the intention of influencing them?
We have those already; why do you think the teachers’ unions are a fascist target?
Keep calling everything fascism I think there might be a little further you can devalue that term with a few more wolf cries.
No, we call fascism fascism. The only ones who hate being called fascists are fascists. And if it looks like a fascist, acts like a fascist, walks like a fascist and quacks like a fascist, we can safely assume that it’s a fascist, much like this ‘penix’ guy
That sure is specious reasoning.
Clear, simple logic. Even a caveman can understand it.
Too bad you aren’t that erudite
Lol ok bbg. 😘
The last Republican story hour really didn’t end well
MY. FUCKING. PET. GOAT.
“Sir, men in dresses are demanding an audience of children to press their agenda on them.”
Ah yes, drag queen ≘ serial killer
Ooh that’s a deliberate misinterpretation. 🤔
You put Drag Queens in the same list as terrorists and serial killers, dude. I’d say they interpreted it just how you intended.
You did it again! The point you’re intentionally missing is that giving any shitty ideology an impressionable audience isn’t better because you agree with the ideology. Clearly you think serial killer story hour would be a negative influence, but if that serial killer was in a dress and prostitute makeup you would be perfectly fine with it.
What’s prostitute makeup?
You can just do a google image search for prostitute makeup and get 200000 examples to the point where you almost certainly are being intentionally obtuse.
I mean, sure I could Google it. I was asking you because I was wondering what you meant by it.
Also, fun fact: drag queen isnt an ideology. Children simply are more engaged with wild and colorful aesthetics than they would be with you buncha fucking droll-ass, bible-thumping prudes
Ooh bro, that’s a miss. You have to start asking yourself “if it doesn’t matter, then why does it matter so much?” 😉
No I dont. If it doesnt matter, what does it matter so much TO YOU?
And who the fuck are you to be telling everyone else how to live their fucking lives?
Imma need to to read your post again slowly and then explain clearly how you think that is a valid and logical point.
It’s pretty straightforward. You are just certain you are correct so no amount of logic or reason will have any effect on you. 😉
No it isn’t. It isn’t straightforward at all. That’s exactly why I asked.
My dude, you just described yourself.
No its not read what you wrote and stand by it
You are so far from reality that I’m not sure you could find your way back if you wanted to.
If you feel better thinking that then I hope you find the comfort you need there.
Reality is not comforting. That’s why you run from it. The rest of us just deal with reality as it is no matter how uncomfortable it is.
Oof that is not what you are doing at all. It’s weird and kind of crazy that you think that.
What’s “weird and crazy” about that?
Ooh you’ve really got your pussy lips in a knot over this. 😉
No answer?
We have those already; why do you think the teachers’ unions are a fascist target?
Because God said to rape, fuck, abuse the children by any means necessary and he will smite the fucking kids if they disrepect their parents who rape, fuck and abuse them.
Cunningham’s law? I’ll bite.
TLDR: Some American Christians don’t practice what they preach. Unfortunately they’re the ones with power / wealth.
he will smite … if they disrespect their parents …
"For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. "
- Jesus H. Christ, Matthew 10:35-37
God said to rape, fuck, abuse the children
“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
- Jesus H. Christ, Matthew 18:5-6
Edit: To the downvoters:
It’s not like modern American “Christians”(evangelical in particular) would give Jesus the time of fucking day. They’d call him a simp soyboi lib’rul
“only the new testament counts, the first half of the book is old news”
The quotes I just used were from the New Testament.
That’s the joke, because you’re cherry picking just from the new testament.
Probably one of my favorite bible passages is the one where God sends a couple female bears to murder 42 kids for calling Elisha bald. 2 Kings 2:23-24
Here’s another pretty good one, where God commands Saul to slaughter literally everyone (including children and animals),"3Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. " "9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. "
So God said he wasn’t king anymore because he didn’t slay absolutely everything and everyone in the city.
“11It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.”
Any rational human being should be able to see that murdering “infant and suckling” is abhorrent

You’re assuming that modern religious orthodoxy correlates their views and behavior to progressive cherry picked passages from their texts.
While Jesus does say those things, modern conservative religious figures bring up “spoil the rod spoil the child” from the OT to rationalize and justify their own world view.
For example, would you argue that the conservative Judaism in Israel today is likely to support eradication of any political division or disenfranchisement between Palestinians and Israelis given the following in the Torah:
When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the native-born among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
- Leviticus 19:33-34 (similar statement in Deuteronomy 10:19)
No, of course not. They are going to pick and choose from things like the ahistorical book of Joshua’s divine entitlement to seize territory from Canaanites (for which there’s zero evidence of it having even happened) to justify what they want to justify while ignoring passages that would force them to behave differently from how they would want to.
The tenets of a current religious movement is only tenuously connected to earlier source material and frequently involves multiple layers of reinterpretation and selective sourcing.
There’s even evidence that parts of the New Testament were literally rewritten to reverse inconvenient teachings of a historical Jesus, such as how at the last supper in Luke he reversed the prohibition on carrying a purse when ministering (making monetary collections impossible) - found unanimously across the Synoptics. That passage isn’t found in Marcion’s version of Luke, which may be the earliest extant form of it, but it is very convenient to set up things like the older couple struck dead for not giving Peter all their money in Acts 5.
Smorgasbord theology
Yeah, that’s what I was already pointing out in my original comment.
but it is very convenient to set up things like the older couple struck dead for not giving Peter all their money in Acts 5.
But they didn’t die because they didn’t give the money. They died because they said they gave all the money but hadn’t. They died because they lied, not because they didn’t give money.
I don’t know how you can read that passage and come away with the idea that they died because they didn’t give money to the church.
Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
Acts 5:1-10 [emphasis mine]
[Jesus] reversed the prohibition on carrying a purse when ministering
Why can’t things change across a narrative? That’s like saying “Harry Potter can’t be a wizard because at the start of the story he didn’t have magical powers. So he can’t go to wizarding school later on. This story makes no sense.”
Technically, no one actually died, the story is simply a narrative attempting to parallel the story of Achan keeping the spoils of Jericho for himself in the book of Joshua.
And yeah, sure, it was because they lied. Because if they only gave a dollar of the proceeds and kept the rest for themselves, that would have been fine, which was why the author was explicitly paralleling that one other time when someone kept goods for themselves and died for it.
Why can’t things change across a narrative.
They do - especially when the narrative is gradually constructed over centuries.
For example, early on in the narrative of Christian canon development you have 1 Cor 9 where Paul is debating with other Christians in Corinth who oppose the notion of people ministering being able to have monetary gain (in keeping with the no purse prohibition and sentiments found elsewhere in extra-canonical sayings attributed to Jesus).
A few decades later you have the Gospel of Mark written which contained a saying attributed to Jesus opposing carrying a purse when ministering with no exceptions.
Later on, this gets copied into Luke and Matthew who use Mark as a source.
Later on, Marcion’s version of Luke gets recorded by critics quoting it, so we know that version at that time has absolutely no last supper reversal of carrying a purse. So either Marcion was very selectively removing a ton of nuanced things from across the Epistles and Luke… or things were being added in later on (like when Paul swears to the Holy Spirit he’s telling the truth in Romans 9:1, an entire chapter absent from Marcion’s version).
Finally, the versions of Luke we have today have a special reversal of not carrying a purse that’s more in line with Paul’s side of the argument in 1 Cor 9 and the practices of the canonical church over the years after Jesus was dead. A reversal that was absent in the earliest version of Luke recorded.
So yeah, narratives do change. Just like there’s a first edition, then a second edition, etc.
So yeah, narratives do change. Just like there’s a first edition, then a second edition, etc.
That’s not an example of the internal narrative changing, that’s the external narrative. Retcons are not what I was talking about.
I know. But what you were talking about made no sense given the context and text’s history.
If there were internal narrative changes like that in Mark that migrated to Luke or were found in Marcion’s version, there’d be no questioning that an author was having that change take place in their original composition.
But what you have is a brief interpolated reversal of an earlier prohibition attributed to Jesus, a position both canonically and extra-canonically, suddenly inserted out of the blue in the narrative which doesn’t appear in the earlier source where the original prohibition comes from and isn’t even present in the earliest extant version of the story where the reversal is.
It’s not an internal narrative change like Harry Potter becoming a wizard.
it’s cuz no one wants to hear ppl quote the Bible
also those passages are extremely weak prohibitions of child abuse
It’s cuz no one wants to hear ppl quote the Bible
If you want any hope of fighting against these Christians, you need to use their text against them.
Know your enemy.
also those passages are extremely weak prohibitions of child brides
Wasn’t my intention. I wasn’t referring to the original post.
I guarantee you they will not change their mind based on Bible verses. They only use them to support their preconceived notions.
Irrelevant. Doesnt matter what the dead carpenter said; his dad was a violent, child-killing fuckwad.
They can all be bad
Even if by hypothesis this was true, why are they hard-campaigning on drag shows and absolutely ignoring pageants? They should definitely go after both if they “cared about the children”.
Nice. For once Louisiana isn’t on a bad list

There is no logic behind it. We do ourselves a disservice by treating their warped morality as anything other than bigotry that should be squelched.
Girls must be taught to be objectified and controlled. Not learn to be inclusive or to think for themselves from books.
Belle “Gaston, you are positively primeval.”
/s right?
Yes.
Because they think that if the kid gets pregnant they should get married. Meanwhile they fear that the child may be “corrupted”. They see marriage as holy or normal even if it happens too soon.

Cause a-dig-dig-diddlin kids is a-ok as long as you do it a straight way like God intended.
Edit:Please may nobody quote this comment out of context.
Drag queens teach people and especially kids how to look beyond initial appearances when forming judgments and reactions. This devastates the GOP.
Melanie used logic. That was Melanie’s first mistake.
Its not about protecting children from abuse and manipulation, its about protecting children from growing up into intelligent, compassionate people who won’t vote red.
It was about homosexuality only.
Because it never was about children, they’re just an excuse.
Right. It’s about forcing the types of people the backwards of society are most uncomfortable with into the shadows, in the name of “saving children,” the same children they don’t give two shits about
It bothers me how many different ways republicans are hypocrites, and yet none of them give a damn.
*an excuse to harm people who don’t think like them.
Their olive branches turned to spears.
They were never olive branches. They were grasping claws to try and make you act like them, not to understand a different perspective. Once they realized they couldn’t pull more people over, the spears come out. It’s what a desperate loser does when they become the minority: Try to restore majority control, even if that means literally changing the numbers of people who count.
This is it - violence was always the intent… They just lack the power to get away with the violence, so they work toward it.
If everyone they don’t like is raping kids (pay no attention to the projection to justify their own actions), what should we do about that? I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say this would escalate to death camps almost immediately.
Why would they bother with death camps? That implies they give a shit enough to keep it a secret.
What about a large institution that large numbers of people are ferried to before being slaughtered seems secretive to you?
It’s not as though there’s a number of historical examples of exactly this kind of thing, right?
I mean, there were a shitload of Germans that stated they didn’t know what was happening. Seems like they did a decent job of keeping it a secret from them.
Yeah - the SS were kicking in my neighbours’ doors and violently hauling them away, never to be seen again as they spout genocidal rhetoric… I’m sure they just took them to a farm upstate where they can run and play all day. Also, your family dog is still alive at 27 - he went to live with them too.
Any plausible deniability faded pretty quickly on that one given the overt rhetoric and actions of those involved. Gellately talks about this reasonably extensively.
