I have stated in the past that there are two types of people. There are the people who "get it" and those who don't. Furthermore it's the people who don't get it that usually think they do.
Case in point is the (arguably retarded) Delana Davis of Texas. Davis is the mother of a 9 year old son and 4 year old daughter, both of which attend the local elementary school. This elementary school has a traditional homecoming event each year called TWIRP Day.
TWIRP stands for The Women is Requested to Pay. Basically it's a day where the kids reverse roles so that they can see what it is like from the other side. On this day girls are suppose to act like boy in the tradition sense of opening doors, paying for sodas, and trying to get to second base. (Well two out of three anyway.) Another part of this tradition is that the girls dress like boys and vice versa.
As a casual onlooker I can see what the school* is trying to do. It's a noble thing to show people what its like on the other side of the fence and don't think anybody with a intact central nervous system will argue against it.
Now if a parent were to come forward and say they weren't going to let there children cross-dress because they thought it was weird, id be cool with it. I mean having you children dress up in clothing that is made for the other sex is somewhat strange in my mind. So its easy to see where a parent is coming from, especially if the children are so young like in this case.
However what puts Delana Davis in the "those who don't get it" category (ie. Fucking Disgraces to America) is her belief that this type of cross dressing will turn her children gay. Because we all knowing that wearing a dress immediately brings out some hidden urge to smoke pole that we all have. Here is her exact quote:
It's like experimenting with drugs," Davies said. "You just keep playing with it and it becomes customary. ... If it's OK to dress like a girl today, then why is it not OK in the future?"
It's truly a shame that I don't remember all the fallacies from logic class because I'm almost positive that there is more then just 'Slippery Slope' in that statement.
I mean for fucks sake people, are there truly parent's out there that think like this (?); that believe the gatekeeper to the world of gay is some 10 dollar dress from Wal-Mart?! Shit, in that case did that time I use my sister's brush in 6th grade mean I'm going to be bi or something?
Wait, even worse. I once tied up my brother with the dog's leash, IS HE GOING TO WANT TO FUCK ANIMALS! DID I TURN MY BROTHER INTO A DOG FUCKER?!
Brothers and sisters of Uber, I need your help. There are only so many of these idiots I can murder a year. Morons reproduce at a rate that would make rabbits flinch. Without your help America will be overrun. The apocalypse is near....
*The article didn't have a whole lot of information pertinent to whether the school is the one who came up the idea of cross-dressing, so I don't know whose idea is was.

We had that at my high school. We didn't really take it that far, the chicks just asked the guy out and paid for the date instead of the other way around.
You know, the women bitch that we aren't equal and they shouldn't have to wear "women" clothes, but all those soccer moms complain that dudes wearing women outfits are immoral and shit. That's a pretty big double standard.

You could just distribute poison in the form of diet drinks, that when combined with a supersized meal, or large meal, becomes active, and they die. Theres no dietary benefit of ordering a supersized or large meal, and a diet drink. Its just like saying Im gonna be straight, but take it in the ass from a guy when im banging a chick.

I think the reason RB is one of my favortites on the MVA list is because he is such an asshole( just read some reviews). Decent writing, decent topics, total dick to a lot of people. Don't ever change.

Actually the entire idea is pretty stupid. The only thing that TWIRP would illustrate to me as a guy is "Boy , this is bullshit. I do all this to get laid? Fuck it."

This is a letter to the editor that was in the paper today:
**Fairy tale of evolution has exacted high price
In response to "Evolution on trial" (Nov. 10 editorial):
The disclaimer sticker placed in science textbooks should read "This textbook contains material about evolution, an adult fairy tale that over time became a full-blown secular religion that is indirectly responsible for abortion, gay rights, rampant divorce, child abuse, failure of the public schools, depravity on TV and the lack of moral values and faulty thinking by the Observer's editorial staff."
Earl Killian **
I mean goddamn all that. I'd respond, but I'm too confused.
