My newsfeed must be set for “shock.” Never does a day go by that there is no something outlandishly alarming featured as a story, somewhere, illustrating the insane march of modern culture. Much of me would like to think that the problem is in the newsfeed and not in the culture itself. However, on a basis that is frequent enough to be alarming in itself, I find something in my daily experience that confirms the insanity in my newsfeed.

All of them however, are in agreement that the rest of the animals are only beasts fit for consumption, be it as fodder for scientific experiments, or fodder used for scientific engineering via perverse sex education, propaganda, etc.
Definitely worth going to the site to read the whole article.
Heaven is indeed no democracy.
AAMOF, it’s like Venezuelan socialism.
1. Your money’s no good.
2. The administration expects unending praise.
3. It leads to nothing better.
Folks, you can't make this up.
I didn’t intend to turn this into an Orthodox Church bash fest. Happy Friday!
I didn't intend to start an Orthodox Church bash fest. I merely pointed out a truth that logically makes no sense.
