HuffPo – Tennessee Lawmaker Threatens Trans Women with Violence: On Jan. 12 Tennessee State Representative Richard Floyd (R-Chattanooga) said he would “stomp a mudhole” into any transgender woman he saw attempting to use a women’s restroom. That phrase means to sexually and violently assault someone to the point where they are unable to fight back. Padagon - Don’t think...

I love how it's snuck up on us - video games as...
I can’t even tell you when I became infatuated with video games, because quite honestly, I think I was born with it. I never remember anyone having to explain the concept of them to me, I just know that I was, to my Mother’s chagrin, obsessed with them. My allowance was always spent almost entirely at whatever video arcade I could get to, and once blown, I’d hang around moonily just staring...

Well, that was some excitement. About an hour ago, I got 3 e-mails in a row, thanking me for my purchase of this trilogy via my Kindle. I had a bit of a freakout, wondering if there was some way that people were able to clone Kindle’s the way they did with cell phones back in the day. I had a fun time with a very nice lady at Amazon who suggested that my credit card must be stolen or that...

"Holland's Nazi Lust Torturers!"
There are so many hilarious things about this picture: 1) I can accept that being strapped to a windmill and spun around is torture, but how is this lustful? 2) These are NAZI LUST TORTURERS. Really? That’s your uniform and insignia? 3) You have many objects of sexual lust at your artistic disposal, and you’re going with a windmill in HOLLAND. That’s your “Escape to an...

Addicting Info - Anti-Gay Pastor Claims Same-Sex Marriage Will Lead To Pedophilia And Bestiality: The blindingly obvious fallacy here is that a horse cannot consent. Neither can a child or a rock or a dog. Religious fanatics labor under the delusion that since they themselves would not consent (at least, not openly), no one else would either, so homosexuality must be coerced in some fashion....

He doesn’t understand that infidelity doesn’t mean that you have other sexual partners. It means that you’re not following the rules....
