So... the commandments are SO IMPORTANT that they would break a commandment to enforce their display? How does one's brain not explode from the hypocrisy in that? That's like saying "All fetuses have the right to live, and I would gladly kill a fetus to enforce this!" Just wow.

Edit: I now realize that complaining about fundamentalists and hypocrisy is shooting fish in a barrel, and that the real nuttiness comes from suggesting the owner would shoot someone for even asking to take it down (which the owner is under no obligation to do).

I'm the idiot. At least I caught myself before taking my case to social media.

Sorry, but I have to agree with them. If I payed money to see a play, I'd be pretty miffed if that happened. You have to figured the entire rest of the show is going to be lovely, the two leads aren't going to be even slightly in character. It's really unproffesional.

Christmas dinner with my girlfriend's family there were about six kids and every parent around the table gave their kid a phone to watch a movie on (without headphones, too :argh:) as naturally as they sat down to eat. I was stuck somewhere between complete disbelief and "well poo poo I get bored too, if I'd known it was socially acceptable I'd have brought my PSP."

They're the kind of people who actually encourage the kids to run around and scream, too, though to their credit, we were in a separate room and when the kids entered the common area they got called back right quick. But still. Trying to have dinner here, folks.

I agree, but apparently he actually did do it at the curtain call or at least during the last song. That strikes me as fair enough, really. Would have been twice as awkward if she had said no, though.

Yeah they conveniently ignore the part where eagles were actually heading towards extinction until the laws were enacted, while to my knowledge humans won't go extinct because of abortions. :v:

In the end it's not so much about the sanctity of life as it is about punishing women. Because in their mind women shouldn't be having sex for pleasure without consequences, then if you do get pregnant "Well should have kept your legs closed WELFARE QUEEN you're not getting any of my money. :smug: "

Same reason they cry about tax dollars if any of it is spent funding sex ed or low-income birth control. Because sex is bad and only bad people like it, so they need to be punished.

I think the fact that fun marriage proposals get millions of views on YouTube an indication that the majority of people there were impressed. At a job I did recently we had a Skyping Santa for kids to talk to, and there were 4 proposals there. No one complained about these assholes taking up kids' time with Santa, and each one made local news.

Plus listen to the cheers from the audience. A lot of them were thrilled to be part of a special moment. Peter Pan and Wendy are getting married!

The thing that always gets me about these kinds of proposals is that it seems the proposer is forcing the proposee to say 'yes'. Since they risk public humiliation if they say no. There was a clip I watched where at a sports even the girl said no and she had to run out of the entire stadium while being booed. It just reminds me of the episode of It's always Sunny in Philadelphia where the dude is telling people how great it is to have a boat because 'the implication' they have to say yes, because of 'the implication'.

I do assume that most people agree to the proposal before the dude actually asks the question. But super public proposals still skeeve me out.

Okay, but it wasn't. During the last song, at the end, sources differ, but it's not like he proposed to her instead of saving Tinkerbell.

I mean during the last song is still pretty drat unprofessional but if you really feel you have to do it during the performance there's a lot worse spots. I'm pretty sure there's a bit where Wendy straight up asks Peter Pan how he feels about her and doing it then would have been both really sweet and holy poo poo there goes the evening and his stage career.

On the other hand he probably cleared it with the company head beforehand. I mean, what kind of ticket sales was the Glasgow production of a Peter Pan musical getting before someone did something to blow it up on YouTube? I imagine whoever is in charge felt like the exposure would only help their sales.

I'm with you on this (unless marriage has been discussed by both parties beforehand and the proposal is just making it official). Spectators want to see a "yes," but they don't really know anything about the couple's relationship. Wasn't there one failed public proposal where it turned out they'd only been on a few dates prior to that? Or was that one staged for awkwardness?

I debated posting this, because I wasn't sure it was "thick enough", but after looking this morning and seeing just how much my sister-in-law wrote on a topic the initial post wasn't even about, I figured it would entertain.

I'm sure by now you've all heard about the story at Alinea in Chicago and the fact that they are considering banning children after an incident over the weekend with a crying infant. My Brother and Sister-in-Law (Al Toesacks and Sam Owen) used to live in Chicago, and ate at a lot of fancy places, so my wife (Zack Lee) just innocently asked if they had been there and what it was like, not looking in the least to start a conversation about kids in restaurants.

My OTHER Sister-in-Law (Beau Tie), however (on my wife's side) decides to immediately start taking offense and getting psycho about things no one is saying and situations that are not happening to her.



Beau Tie is bananas on FB. As you can see she posted almost twice as many comments about a subject no one wanted to talk about than all the other commenters combined. (I counted the other day, and between links and status updates, she made 22 wall posts between 8am and noon, not even counting comments.)

Are her kids little assholes or something? She seems to be taking this personally.
Edit: Sorry, you kind of answered me.

Brocktoon posted:

I find her constant assurances that her kids would behave in a place like that hilarious, because we go out to dinner with them just about every weekend, and I absolutely adore my niece and nephew, but they're certainly no angels, which is mainly a result of the parent's complete lack of discipline with them. They're squirmy, often loud, demanding the phone/tablet and will usually eat nothing but chicken fingers or mac and cheese (and god help you if the mac and cheese is something other than Kraft). I mean, that's fine, they're kids and we never go anywhere fancy, but they wouldn't last 5 minutes in a place like Alinea without the entire restaurant wanting to murder them.

Sounds like over the years her circle of friends has slowly shrunk. Fewer and fewer people invite her and her husband out to dinner and parties every year. She finds her number of facebook friends slowly decreasing. She pretends she doesn't know why that is but deep inside she knows. Oh, she knows.

I'm not saying people don't like hanging out with folks who have kids. But she sounds like one of these people who just can't shut up about "TOMMY LEARNING HIS ABCs TODAY!", "ANNIE making GBS threads ALL OVER THE WALLPAPER", "THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD", "LOOK AT THIS PIC OF MY UGLY KID" and "OH I CAN ONLY STAY FOR 15 MINUTES I DONT TRUST MY BABYSITTER WITH WIPING TOMMY'S rear end CAN WE MAKE YOUR BIRTHDAY/ENGAGEMENT/WEDDING/RANDOM CELEBRATION ALL ABOUT ME AND TOAST ALREADY SO I CAN GET HOME PLEASEEE."
