TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I'm sure someone will be right along to explain how this is consistent with "family values"

http://gawker.com/5873138/teen-girl-mistakenly-deported-now-trapped-in-foreign-prison-and-pregnant

QuoteDistraught over the loss of her grandfather and her parents' divorce," 14-year-old Jakadrien Turner ran away from home, WFAA Dallas reports. Arrested for shoplifting in Houston, she used a fake name that actually belonged to a 22-year-old undocumented immigrant wanted for arrest. What follows is a nightmarish series of mistaken identities and institutional failures, culminating in a teen girl trapped alone and pregnant in a third-world prison.

Related to the issue of US immigration... they mentioned some figures on the morning news today, that the average illegal immigrants from Mexico to USA was about 1.6 million from 2000-2010, and 2011 turned up 1.1 million...

they didnt mention the variance of immigrants from year to year in 00-10, but if we assume the variance was slight, then thats about a 30% decrease... they interviewed some of them which said that there isnt much work anymore as before and that they are treated badly, even with raids in clubs when they close for the night...

: asplode : doesn't seem to be working either.

Most likely because it isn't in the pop-up window of available emotes.

I approve of the re-introduction of  :mind ray: however.

Ah, the problem might be that you are using a different theme than I am. I am using the Curve theme.

Funnily enough, on this theme  :craig: works, and I had never seen it before. It is lulz.

Seeing what it is, I totally get the joke.  :lol:

Anyway, as not to derail too much. I am eager to see what kind of response this incident garners if any, in the primary race.
