ETA: My mistake. This should be in unfunnybusiness. 


ETA2: To clarify: Homophobia is not funny. People who invoke Godwin's should be mocked mercilessly.

The CBC reports a story about a 66-year-old missionary, Eloise Bergen, and her husband who was assaulted in Kenya earlier this year, and recently testified against her assaulters. People feel the need to state their opinions in the comments: ( Read more... )

This story has been widely reported by Canadian media, so there are even more choice comments, including an opinion piece and replies on the Globe and Mail site. There are also articles from when the assault occurred, including a longer comment thread at the original CBC article.

ETA: Sorry, was a mispost (the comments I originally found were wanky rather than plain depressing, and I forgot to change the field). The recipes sound delicious, though.

A secret about prop 8 is posted to this post in Fandom secrets. And we get twofold wank for it, too!

Wank #1: FOMG HOW IS THIS NOT A 'NOT-SECRET' THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FANDOM WHATSOEVER! This one is small, though, because the modly type froze the comments.

Wank #2: Gay is wrong. No u! No u! NO U! NO U! And that's all within the first three pages.

Also, liking het means you hate gay marriage. Srsly. And there's macros. And people loling over all the wank this caused. And there's also a thread of d'awwww.

I chose to post it here instead of fandom wank because almost all of the arguments were not fandom related. And there was even an argument about that, too!

Poor cf_ioan is having a bad day. Over at the Childfreez, she posts about how an "idiot moo cunt" she is acquainted with "fortunately...miscarried". She does not receive acclaim for this viewpoint.

( Plenty of stereotypes and hate for everyone )

In booju_mooju, jessy1019 states that she is anti-adoption.

"I am anti-adoption. I got involved in the movement when I was still in high school, so it's been about nine years now -- began researching adoption for an American Law class and the summer after I graduated, I founded an organization called Adoption: Legalized Lies (www.antiadoption.org)."

She closes this post with:

"I will say that I'm honestly not looking to start anything here and have no desire to debate this in circles. I'm happy to answer questions, though."

Two pages as of this post. The comments keep on coming.

Holy cow my head's spinning. I'll give some highlights later as I find them. I need my bottle boobie and then my blanky and a nap.

Highlights as I find them or are tipped off to me. Not necessarily in order because I. Cannot. Wrap. My. Head. Around. This. I'm trying to refrain from wanking over there myself.

pradagirl: What do you propose we do with all the children given to the state or taken from abusive homes etc. Should we abort them or just leave them in the system?

jessymessybrain: This is answered many times above. Guardianship -- child gets a safe, loving home without having to endure all the losses of adoption.

queensugar gives jessy1019 props for not using the term "baby stealer". Turns out that jessynumbers does. When asked why, she says that she doesn't use it unless it "applies" and she doesn't mean to kidnappers either.

elizaveta weighs in on "against adoption". jessy-smarmy dishes out an I'mSoSorry and reads from her prepared file cards.

Sarcfest and minor furry reference here.

OMG dunBsew meen cawlin teh Opie n idot!!one!

Scarlett75 throws some logic and Jessy does the circle dance.
