Those cites are exceptional and I’d like to take those to this weekend’s study.

You’ve convinced me even more to keep my children away from people like yourself, whose judgmental, sanctimonious, hyper-critical elitist opinions would make even the most loving child neurotic.

That lesson, and one more: boys like trains. Girls, not so much.

That's just an awesome kick-in-the-face. Well done!

They’re two, they’re four, they’re six, they’re eight.
Sexist pigs all spewing hate.

The one saving moment here is when you go to the original article in the Guardian and read the hundreds of comments, which are +98% from normal folks with a sense of humor.

My favorite: "Suppose the producers were to bring on board a new female engine, who mopes around the depot hardly ever pulling a train. but who harangues the other engines about their opinions whenever she encounters them? Would that satisfy?? "

Agreed but, how do we, as Christians, interpret that?

God’s authority is ubiquitous but, when a certian portion of His creation rejects that authority, how is the XPian respond? In this day and time, this is a ^really big^ concern/discussion.

I am considering that, as a XPian, I will contnue to present Jesus to my “neighbor” but I refuse to waste my time with non-XPians. I do not feel compelled to “convince” the unconvinceable outside of the actions of the Holy Spirit.

Sort of a “dust from my sandals” situation.

Romans 13 has always been used by tyrants to justify their tyranny.

However, in reading it, you can see that LEGITIMATE authority “punishes the wicked and rewards the righteous”.

Then it’s a matter of determining what is righteous, and that is ubiquitous throughout scripture.

It’s probably a “microaggression” that Emily is “curvier” than the “male” engines.

Well just look at your own “Microaggression”.

You write using letters that are BLACK on a WHITE background.

Clearly you make people look for the BLACK which is extremely small and insignificant compared to the WHITE.

People that can’t read English don’t even know what the BLACK on the page means, to you BLACK is that insignificant.

You obviously believe WHITE is superior to BLACK because you don’t need to be able to read English to understand the WHITE on the page.

You clearly are a racist.

I think all that crap come from “Critical Race Thinking” courses being taught in colleges.

It reads like a joke because they are trying to use logic to find racism in anything and everything.

Children are afraid of the dark because they are taught to be afraid of black popped up a few years ago.

Completely ridiculous unless you take it in the context it was intended. Some college professor used it as a thought exercise to get his students to find racism in anything and everything.

She’s seeing things that aren’t there and speaking in gibberish. That is a sign of a more serious problem.

I would guess she’s just that neurotic, but that’s just a guess. An educated guess.

What a maroon.

Sir Topham Hatt (also known as The Fat Controller), whose attire of a top hat, tuxedo

Tuxedo! Tuxedo!! No gentleman wears a tuxedo during the daytime (unless he's coming home from an evening out).

Wiki (In his iconic top hat and morning suit,) gets it closer, but not quite right.

What the Fat Contoller correctly wears (cutaway coat and non-matching trousers) is morning dress, the wear for daytime business activities. A morning suit would have matching trousers and be worn for daytime social functions.

That said, Sir Topham's yellow waistcoat marks him out as a bit of a bohemian, and implies some depth to the character.
