          The paradox of Conservativism

          "We believe in Jesus and that everyone has to pull their own weight or else they are valueless chaff that should die unmourned on the streets! And those sissy bleeding heart woke communist snowflakes can suck the end of our guns! "

          Sooooo… You believe in the guy who hung out with theives, beggars, lepers and sex workers and the other outcasts of society and said " The meek shall inherit" but you are anti-outcast and think the meek should just shut the hell up and take the misery they have earned by being meek…

          Hmm.

    My conservative friend went on a whole tirade about some children’s picture book with cartoon gay felacio depicted in it, that had been in some Middle School library. Something something liberal agenda.

    I was very confused why he cared so much. I remember seeing real pictures of sex, boobs, vags, dicks, balls, etc in my school library under different educational contexts. Big deal. Teenage boys would show the diamond in the rough from the encyclopedias or anatomy books, giggle, and move on with their lives. I know I certainly did.

    A cartoon gay bj isn’t going to turn your kid gay. Particularly when it wasnt even in your State. And the school removed it from their shelves anyway. Why do you need to spend your energy being outraged by it?

      Wo wo wo, you didn’t mention the part about pictoral sex until the end. Regardless of gay or straight, that shouldn’t be allowed in a school.

    Republicans are literally illiterate. They’re the ones misusing they, their, they’re on the internet. Burning books is ok to them because they can’t read anything more than 140 characters.

    Only someone who cares so much about children learning sexual acts would be against this

      You know that children are supposed to learn how sex works? So they know how to avoid getting STDs or unwanted pregnancies. If not learning about sex would stop People from having sex, Humankind would have died out Millions of years ago.
