Stop comparing Western religious extremism to sharia law or the Taliban or other Muslim extremist groups. It's racist to do so, and abortion is legal under sharia law. Western extremism is WORSE. Western extremism is fascism. Compare them to Nazis if you must, since they literally ARE Nazis.
Also while I have your attention, abortion bans violate Jewish people's freedom of religion since the Jewish people actually READ their holy book, and under Jewish rules a fetus isn't a person until after it takes its first three breaths after birth.

Something that needs to be taught in schools, in TV PSAs, on billboards, etc., is that touching a person's wheelchair without their consent is, according to the law, an act of assault. You can go to PRISON for touching someone's wheelchair without their consent! And the sad fact of the matter is, while this is true, it isn't enforced nearly as much as it should be!
Just a note for LiveJournal users: If I don't reply to you, it's because I don't check my gmail account or my LJ notifications very often. Like, I can't remember how long ago before today I even thought about logging into LJ to check for comments from people who hadn't also ported over to DreamWidth. And I'm fairly sure it's been over a year since I checked my gmail account. Other than occasionally screaming into the void on DW and it automatically copying over to LJ, I'm usually on Facebook these days. Yeah, I know, Facebook? But eh. (Shrugs)
Honestly, more often than not, I forget LiveJournal even still exists.

If you’re a Nazi and you’re thinking about becoming a Satanist, do the whole world a favor and slit your own throat in sacrifice to Satan, and die. Because we Satanists don’t want pathetic loser wastes of space who hate people for stupid reasonless reasons like you in our religion. Satanism is about being your own god, and you can’t be your own god if you piss your pants in terror like a baby just because somebody has brown skin, likes kissing other men / other women, has a different nose from you, or in some other harmless way does not conform to your idea of non-scary people. If Satan is heavy metal, Nazism is baby talk sung to the rhythm of urine dribbling onto a sheet of paper.
I keep seeing people posting about how they wish water tasted good so they could stay hydrated, or posts about products to flavor water for the same reason, and I'm just like:
Y'all know you can just drink tea, coffee, or soda pop, right?
"Ermagerd, but caffeine dehydrates you!"
The amount of caffeine you'd have to ingest to get dehydrated from caffeine would kill you from an overdose first.
"Ermagerd, but I always pee a lot when I drink caffeinated drinks!"
Yes, and the same is true if you drink a lot of water. Pee is made up mostly of water, after all.
"Ermagerd, but soda pop is baaaad for you!"
Well okay, it's not as good as tea or coffee, but it still has water in it. The problem with soda pop is the sugar and the sodium, not the caffeine. But even soda pop is better than being dehydrated.
