I have never seen a christian nudist who should not be ashamed of his or her body.

He's never been to good old Blighty. He claims Blighty and Swedy suffer the same religious intolerance as the US. Clearly he knows little outside the states.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Well, they recently had a wannabe vice-president who thought herself qualified to approve or disprove the nation's foreign policy because from her kitchen door she had stared the mighty Russian Bear in the ass all her life...!

And she had good Xtian hands-on experience with them, of course.

Don't ask a question you don't want the answer to! Wink
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

No, only with a license. For which you qualify if you're female, between 16 and 36, and under 160 pounds.

Those licensed, yes of course. That's the whole point, isn't it?

Quote:I mean, if we shouldn't feel ashamed...right?

Ashamed? For what? For doing what the Lord ordered us to do? "Go forth and procreate". People who do that can be proud of themselves for following the Lord's orders and for providing the rest of us with kinky entertainment.

You identify a licensed female by her stamped license of course:

Pro tip: It's physically impossible to procreate with one's self. Cool Shades

Well, that may be Cthulu, but I'm going to keep trying just in case. Smile "What honey? Oh the pron...yeah..that's part of a scientific experiment."
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
