Here Ajax, are the signs of physical abuse as described by the Texas Department of Family and Protective services, you slow leaking bucket of slime.


You'll relive these moments once you leave this world Jersey Girl. I hope you repent. Karma will not be kind.

Why? Did I refer to a child's parent inflicted lacerations as a "spanking"?

If there really is such a thing as an afterlife and divine judgement and punishment or reward for what we said and did during mortality, you have much, much more cause to worry than Jersey Girl!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I'm pretty sure that my God doesn't mind my defending a member of one of the most vulnerable populations of our society to a person who would marginalize them by minimizing their abuse by calling lacerations on some of the most sensitive parts of a child's body, a "spanking".

In my mind, that's second only to the hand on the switch in terms of heinous behavior.

Hey Gunnar, how could I have forgotten about you. Do you pretty much agree with Brandon Marshall that the NFL took it easy on Brady because he's white and a quarterback?

You guys should go easy on Tom, he has real white people problems:

Tom Brady lives next to one of the top golf courses in the country. And now, following a two-year wait, he can finally play it.

The Patriots star became a member of The Country Club in Brookline recently, according to the Boston Globe, allowing both he and his wife, Gisele Bundchen, access to host of amenities provided by the club, including both the 18-hole and 9-hole golf courses adjacent to the couples' mansion.

Brady "quietly" became a member in recent weeks and has been seen playing golf with Bundchen by several members, according to the Globe.

The notoriously close-to-the-vest Country Club denied an application Brady/Bundchen two years ago per the Globe, fearing their membership would bring unwanted attention.

I'd beat my kid right now if I thought he would become a pro-bowl running back in the NFL.

I couldn't care less about that issue or Brandon Marshall's views on it. I am not that avid a sports fan, and I think that what professional athletes and sports teams get paid is way out of proportion to their intrinsic value to society. Nevertheless, I do admire great athletic ability and the value to both society and individuals of promoting physical as well as mental fitness.
