Quote:As I've wallowed in Christmas music the last couple of weeks, I've pondered the traditions of the Christmas story; and I've come to a conclusion.
Mary was shafted.
There she is, 8+ months pregnant, having been dragged all over Israel on the back of a fucking donkey. I know that when I was 8 months pregnant, I had a hard time riding for two hours in a car to attend my father-in-law's funeral.
And men just do not understand how often one has to pee when there's a baby sitting on one's bladder, especially when one is being jiggled by travel. Do you think Joseph cheerfully stopped every 15 minutes for a potty break, heaving Mary on and off the donkey with nary a complaint? I mean, he didn't even get the fun of the conception. That had to have had an effect on his equanimity during the pregnancy.
Here's the thing; people are much softer now than they were then, Let's using boxing as an example.
It used to be that people fought bare-knuckled for upwards of 180+ rounds, a knock down signaled the end of a round.... so basically a person would be knocked down many, many times with out ever being knocked out.
Compare that to today's fighters...
I've always told you guys that we devolve, not evolve.
