And what I remember from years of bible schooling are beware the Pharisees and their self righteousness- the men who will loudly preach to you that they know the word of God better than that of God himself but will not practice it's words or live it's truth. My aunt, who was a nun for many years, used to call the sidewalk counselors and preachers outside LGBTQI events Pharisees, the name stuck in my head.

At the risk of offending Christ here, the position seems to be a faulty one. If according to your beliefs life begins at conception, and abortion is murder- why is there any scenario you and your Mormon friend see fit to grant one? Unless you are saying God/fate/life does not intend or force every women to continue her pregnancy- how can you support "murder?"
Rape is a horrible thing, so is incest. So is having your IUD fail when you have four children you have trouble feeding already. So is being 14 and terrified. But all of these cases has an equally developed embryo- one is not different than the other.
If you agree that abortion is the right choice, and perhaps even the God Approved choice in some of these scenarios, that's an interesting cognitive dissonance you have.

Because of people like you who hide behind anonymity to dole out cruelty? I agree- it was much easier when things had to be worked out face to face- then spineless little cowards like you stayed curled up in your holes.
You and your false bravado is nothing more than a pale little child scared to be fearless in the real world. It's pathetic.

You don't have to deal with the gay bashers on here, especially ones like that guy who obviously have a profile specifically to seek out things he disagrees with and attack them. It wastes your energy- and there are much cooler people around to focus on :-)

Check out this article- it explains why the decision to do the makeover sparked a petition and a change: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/08/merida-brave-makeover_n_3238223.html

Or report him immediately- you wouldn't stand for someone saying those things to you (or your friend depending) offline, so why tolerate it on here? That is my thought on people like him, personally.

That awesome twin you see is the mirror :-)

Then you are awesome too by the power of transference lol :-) Thank you!!

Oh my God, guest, you can't just ask people why they are Rainbow.....

Lol, I am definitely the prankster in my family, but I think a jovial heart and a clever mind is a sign of a well developed wit. But you seem like a really kind and cool person- I consider it a great compliment to be the you of my family.

And I have no need for the Patron Saint Of Crippling currently, but that's fantastic to know I can summon you! What a great power!

Lol, can you imagine summoning Satan instead of Santa? "I can get you that sled for Christmas, Jenny, all for the low cost of your ETERNAL SOUL!!! MUHAHAHA!!!

No, I am sure your brother is far more mature than me. Like it was just my sister's birthday, and she thought she was too old for any silliness. So I put confetti on her ceiling fan blades while she slept (she has it on 24/7), noisemakers tied to her closet door, and a balloon wall that collapsed on her when she opened her door. She wasn't as happy as I thought she would be...

Thank you for that link! I had no idea Merida was based on the creator, Brenda's, daughter. I am glad she is taking a stand against the "makeover," Not every girl is sparkly and pink (even though some awesome girls and boys are) and it's nice to have diversity fought for.

Did you know ((cue random fact music)) if you have to write in a straight line across an unlined piece of paper or chalkboard you can do it better if you take your non writing hand, make a fist and put it behind your back while you are writing?
My fourth grade teacher taught me that and it's helped me ever since. That's my random unsolicited fact of the day lol- I know it works when you are standing!

Lol, my sister said that about me too. "This is exactly something you would do, thank God you didn't have laser printing access when I loved the Goo Goo Dolls."

I do that all the time too! My girlfriend loves Portman, and acts like I commit a holy sin every time I do it. I feel vindicated lol

A lot of the bullying that happens is through social media forms, so it's people who interact offline too- it's just another way to bully, another forum. Kids have been targeted and harassed- like gay kids, Muslim kids, victims of sexual assault, etc., to the point not even their own emails are safe. It's a real problem that I believe adults are just learning how to deal with.
