Global Prayer To End Atheism

[Brian37]

Um, if you are forcing everyone to listen to ABBA, then you are on the right side of history. But if you stand apposed to ABBA, this is me.

So, you’re continuing to affirm that other people should only be allowed to say what you want them to say?

It's called sarcasm. Now while I will defend ABBA tooth and nail, it will never be to the point of feeling like anyone who objects to their music deserves to be stuck in GITMO. I defend ABBA for reasons long before I even was an atheist. Long before I met you. I defend them because they were one of the first bands I got into.  But long term, I also defend Benny and Bjorn for many of their songs that were deep, and they didn't get enough credit. 

But considering to this day, ABBA still has movies made about them, and all sorts of bands from all walks of music have sampled/covered them.

Watching that iconic scene late in that movie, it reminds me at my own attempt at joining the military and then ending up knowing I was in over my head.

I will never fault anyone for joining and fighting. It is sad that we are a tribal species. But the idea that a penis is the only metric to defending a nation is bullshit. I will always be thankful that there were those who defeated the Nazis. But the best I could have done, being honest, would have been to peal potatos in KP stateside. I do not understand why gender matters in conflict. For every soldier in the trenches, for every soldier in the air, there were thousands more that produced the resources to make their victory possible.
