"...that also tells people that if you rape a woman you should marry her"
this is actually based on good moral grounding and I would have no problem with it being made into law. The problem is that this country puts a limit on the number of wives you can have...one, I think it is. Ridiculous.
Hey... I've been meaning to ask you... You ever hear of Dr. Bart Erhman? Turns out, He's a professor at UNC Chapel Hill for many years now. I flunked-out before he came. I happened to get steered-into some of his lectures and debates on You Tube.
He's a New Testament scholar and historian. He was an evangelical fundamentalist Christian until he found inherent flaws in Scripture and realized that agnostic was the only way to be without intellectually-compromising himself. He's a pretty interesting guy and his lectures and seminars, and debates, are really great. For a while, I never knew he wasn't a Christian, technically. Then, he openly said "I'm no longer a 'Christian', I'm agnostic."
You might really enjoy listening to him. And, he's a huge UNC basketball fan!
classic debate here. i'm very familiar with Ehrman ... i've seen him in person several times. i'm an open-minded Christian and enjoy reading/studying folks like Ehrman bc they challenge my faith in Christ/the Bible and keep me focused and balanced. he's a very smart guy but i disagree with his overall view of Christianity, the importance of Jesus Christ and the validity of the Bible.
I dunno if he thinks it's cool, or what he considers to be cool, for that matter. It looks like Jib-Jab made it. They make parodies.
Have you heard the oft-told story about his first-day pop quiz to the students, and if they get all the answers right, he buys them a dinner at the Armadillo in Carrboro?
this isn't hard. Suppose you go to a really good party and as it turns out, you end up raping somebody. If a rape>marry law was in effect, the one spouse law would, in effect, dictate that you could only ever go to one really good party. How is that fair? Government ruins everything. There should be no limit on the number of spouses one can have, or on the number of really good parties you go to...
I need a draft of the "Rape>Marry Law."
no i didnt know that. funny! wonder how many times he's had to buy dinner.
Yeah, but what if I rape someone at a bad party? Do I still have to marry them?
Or is that like, "oh well, the party sucked so I had to rape someone to pass the time." I feel like that's a pretty solid reason.
People who just want to rape without the burden of marriage.
Somehow we've made joking about rape an improvement on the direction of this thread. Well done?
no, you're not following. First of all, the 'really good party' is what leads to the rape. Conversely, how can a party culminating in rape be considered a bad party? Second of all, the rape>marry law would hardly distinguish between the various circumstances surrounding the rape.
currently, there is no such law. Draft your own and submit for approval..
Then just rape someone in a parking deck or something, silly.
well sure, but you might still be caught...and now you're married without benefit of reminiscing about that really great party where you met.
sticky situation. You're in danger of becoming a bigamist under our current set of nonsensical and invasive laws...unless of course the spouse of the rapee does the right thing and kicks the rapee out of the marriage (after administering a sound beating).
No wait, I think I'm getting this mixed up with with a different set of laws.
well sure, you can always reminisce about that really great parking deck where you first forced yourself on your wife...if parking decks are something that speak romance to you.
The shit that comes out of his mouth never ceases to amaze me.
Okay so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt thinking he was using voice recognition and said something besides potatoes. Question is what sounds like potatoes that he coulda meant to say?
mosquitoes?
Boleros?
Heck, that's probably what the Prez has in mind.
The dude ain't above it. No way. Skin that thin combined with unlimited funds can be a dangerous thing, I would imagine. I wonder just how many bodies are buried at the bottom of Mr. Trump's checkbook.
