Its almost to the point, where we can only eat, breathe and sleep, because any other activity might offend someone. Ugh!!

Sad...but unfortunatley very true.

PS - MERRY CHRISTMAS (if you're offended...sorry!)

The things you posted have nothing to do with his "satire" of the manger scenario. His posting is exactly the type of person that is keeping manger scenes off of government property, god out of the pledge of allegiance and other stuff like that. The two things are seperate.

Not satire blasphemy comes to mind. But I guess I'll be the one on the board that is labeled a religious freak.

okay, I missed the mention of drugs (even after reading it 3 times), nice catch rooster, however I believe still that is an extension of satire. There were "unidentified chemicals" found at the scene, so immediately social services, and media are going to jump to worst case scenario. Just like when a kid legitimately falls and bruises him/herself, and the parents get treated like abusive parents at the hospital.

It is a satire about how they would be treated should this occur in modern day USA. It's a sad but poignant truth.

What are you eating? Is it pork? What if I'm muslim? Is it even an animal? That's cruel. Don't you know what horrible lives livestock animals go through?

What are you sleeping on? Is it comfortable? Is it maybe a little TOO comfortable? Maybe you should be giving some of your money to someone less fortunate so they can at least HAVE A bed, instead of you and your overly luxurious hoity-toity rich racist bed. In fact, maybe I should just TAKE some money from you, you insensitive cow. Not that cows are insensitive. They're actually quite intelligent, much like your pet dog or cat.
