    Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Microsoft Employees wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word "Metro" is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag.
    Man: You sit here, dear.
    Wife: All right.
    Man: Morning!
    Waitress: Morning!
    Man: Well, what do you got?
    Waitress: Well, there's XP; Linux Red hat; Windows 7; Windows 8 with Metro; Windows 8.1 with Metro; Metro Threshhold 9 and Metro; Metro RT Metro Metro 9 and Metro; Metro threshhold Metro Metro 9 Metro tomato and Metro;
    Microsoft Employees: Metro Metro Metro Metro...

    Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top besides Windows 8.1 Metro.
    Wife: Have you got anything without Metro?
    Waitress: Well, there's Metro Windows RT threshhold and Metro, that's not got much Metro in it.
    Wife: I don't want ANY Metro!
    Man: Why can't she have Windows RT 9 Metro and threshhold?
    Wife: THAT'S got Metro in it!
    Man: Hasn't got as much Metro in it as Metro Windows RT threshhold and Metro, has it?
    Microsoft Employees: Metro Metro Metro Metro... (Crescendo through next few lines...)
    Wife: Could you do the Windows RT 9 Metro and threshhold without the Metro then?
    Waitress: Urgghh!
    Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like Metro!
    Microsoft Employees: Lovely Metro! Wonderful Metro!
    Waitress: Shut up!
    Microsoft Employees: Lovely Metro! Wonderful Metro!
    Waitress: Shut up! (Microsoft Employees stop) Bloody Microsoft Employees! You can't have Windows RT 9 Metro and threshhold without the Metro.
    Wife: I don't like Metro!

    Right. Because none of us know that movies like totally aren't real and shit.

    If people actually believed the bulk of movies weren't real they would realize that the actors were just people doing a job. They wouldn't be magazines, channels and whole industries revolving around their employees venerating them as the elite, special people. NO, most people do believe they are with the exception of the so obvious fakes like disaster flicks. I think the expectation is that the people picked will be the best and the fittest like the old west wagon trains. Lots of people died getting there but those that survived created the California that we now watch.

    At this point, I think people secretly like being outraged. Look at Phil Robertson. Everyone knew who he was for years on A&E with all the things he said. Then suddenly he admits to something everyone should have known in GQ and its pickforks and torchs time with GLAAD. It makes me wish for a 9.0 Earthquake in LA so I can laugh at their misery just because they do this deliberately. Mean? Yes. Wrong? Very much. Still maybe if they are so busy fixing their own house they will ignore the rest and quit stirring the pot.

    Ahh yes the old 'separate of church and state' chestnut. OK simply, it doesn't exist in the Constitution. Its a part of a handwritten letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury church in 1802. http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9806/danpre.html All Jefferson meant was that govt couldn't pick favorites. That wall was the prevention of that. Considering he wrote the first amendment, I think he would know. He was a deist. So yes he believed in God. But he didn't want Catholicism crammed down peoples throat. Its like if Obama wrote a letter on Obamacare and stated that his dog should have been covered, and centries later this letter is being used to justify petcare in the ACA behemeth.

    which is why the majority supports this. What the Satanists don't realize is that if they build a monument another can be built beside it mocking it. Thats the fun when you don't pick a religion. This garbage that the first amendment says you can't have any religion is bs. The govt is not sponsoring anything. Never has. There are no favorites.

    Actually. I live in Tulsa. I supported the monument because I think it should be in the public.

We are suppose to have freedom of Religion here that. means everyone any where and believe anything. The govt can't pick a favorite religion. That's it. So to get the ACLU to shut up, yes I will agree with joy. That's what real tolerance is. Hell, I will even support a life sized Buddy Jesus Pointing at him too.
