these are about as boring as stories about thwarted terrorist attacks or changes to the threat level "CODE ORANGE!!!! omg!"

it IS possible to beat a dead horse to death a second time.

I like the Every Child series; not only does it take up the Last Days mantle of reporting horrible things that happen to, or around, children, I still think the point - that differently-sexed parents are not inherently better than same-sex ones - is valid, and something I don't mind being reminded of nearly every day.

Then skip 'em, some dude. They're pretty clearly labeled, and you have the power to scroll right past 'em.

Well, at least he didn't use a flint like in the bible story and fling the 4skin at his wives in front of God (the ultimate 'dis).

that's my point. it is a valid issue, like comment 2 said, but it gets so overdone it just gets skipped over and ignored. desensitizing people to this shit doesn't help make some kind of point, it just makes people tune it out.

This guy must have something going for him if he's got two wives who let him pull this kind of crap. No clue what, but must be something.

subwlf--You got a chapter and verse for that flint claim? Not that the bible is anything approaching historical in a modern sense, but even in 1900 BCE (the time of Abraham and Sarah) there were definitely knives around.

That second one just supports my theory that most dentists are evil.

And once again they bring up polygamy as if it is somehow the cause for an idiot's actions. That always annoys me to no end.
