In the south Jordan is pronounced jerdin.

I don’t know why, it’s just the accent.

I remember first hearing that with Hamilton Jordan, who worked for Jimmy Carter.

Dear Alabama, please show your up-turned middle finger to the Rat republicans in DC and the Washington Post, on election day.

Partner, you got that right big time!!!

They do not understand the south, . It sounds like it is Politico who does not understand as to why voters keep ignoring the media,and their attacks.

Let put it very simple for them in case they are trolling.
This attack on Moore was obvious, and these kind of attacks have been going on by the media, and the left for decades. It is only now that people are seeing the media are a bunch of lying, elitist socialists who lie for the Democrat media.

It was only when the destructive forces of alcohol, drugs and FDR's programs were unleashed that this begin to change into the sorry state of life on the Reservations that we have today. But a few tribes even got past that.

I have witnessed this with my own eyes as a boy going into the Indian reservations. It is really a sad picture, indeed!

My grandma was 13 when she married my grandpa who was 20. They were married for 45 years. She gave him 10 children.

“What Alabamians ARE TALKING about is: Auburn’s win over Georgia, Alabama’s squeaker over Miss State, and whether Auburn can knock-off Bama in two weeks in Jordan (pronounced JER-dan) Hare Stadium. It is football season after all. We have our priorities.”

i totally get it. i imagine most in Alabama could give two hoots what WaPo and NYT have to say ABOUT Alabama, and yes, those two games would be MAJOR news in Alabama.

Why do so many FReepers not attribute lyrics when they post them?

Let’s just be blunt about it. You obviously want to be able to screw children as young as thirteen years old. Any justification you try to come up with will ring hollow in the face of that putrid truth.

“”OMG, you can’t be serious!””

Never heard of it. Why so astounded?

That's like saying if you oppose prosecuting homosexuals for sodomy, you must be a homosexual. Or if you favor equal rights for blacks, you must be black yourself.

The age of consent has been puberty since biblical times. Bar and bat mitzvahs are testament to this reality. You don't like this? Take it up with God. Heck, take it up with history. If you're OK with calling our ancestors perverted creeps, that's certainly your prerogative.

The difference between me and you is I don't let anybody tell me what to think. My sweet spot has always been mid-20's* to mid-30's. Even in my teens, I was never attracted to teens, and I certainly am not attracted to them now. Not because I think it's some kind of perversion, but because I don't find them attractive. They're like green mangoes - not quite ready. But that's my personal taste.

It's not medieval that teachers are being prosecuted for messing around with post-puberty students - it's simply stupid, just like alcohol prohibition. If the Israelites, who were so religious that they killed idolaters, had no issues with the age of consent being set at puberty, and nobody up till the late 19th century had this issue, which coincided with them also banning alcohol, it's time to let the nuttiness go.

* Where were these horny teachers when I was a teen?
