I'll watch this episode again, was kind of tired Friday night.

Richard Dawkins cracked me up, "I'm pretty sure there are no fairies...I can't say that there are no pink unicorns..."

Then there's the shit about, "You gotta be this far from madness at all times" over the schoolgirl beating.

That and: "Bring'em Young" is a fuckin' riot! That's gotta be the most stinging play on words with Brigham Young's name [although we around here have heard it a lot].

And, yes, the original mormon theology from 1830 through to 1847 was in fact thinly veiled child rape. I'd agrue that even today's polygamist compounds are mild compared to what was once throughout the whole of their religion in that time. Marrying off girls as young as nine was far from unusual.

Just wondering if the beating incident involved a dog, or cat...


Would Bill think it was just "Kids being kids"?

Nope. His priorities are all f*#k'd up....cause he's all f'd up.

I'm so down on him lately, and he looked so handsome Friday night in his grey suit and pink tie...

BTW, did anyone notice his package when he stood up for the monologue? My lord, I think he was embarassed by it too because he kept putting his hand over it. As if we couldn't tell. tee hee.

Maybe the victim ate meat and that's why Bill's excusing it.

"Aw...it's just kids being kids"

Since when is it ok for kids to be that way? If they hit when they're three you teach them it's not ok.
Where's the line, at what age does it become not ok to beat the shit out of others? Five? Ten? Fifteen? Up until then it's just kids being kids, but now you're 17 and you have to put all those ways behind you.

And you're right, if it were a dog...

Yea...I couldn't take my eyes off of it...NOT! Actually, I didn't notice anything lower than the button on that suit that looked awfully tight around the midsection.


Yep...every so often Bill takes one of his stands that I can't necessarily agree with, and he comes off as an ass.

You can overlook it, cause you see him as a hottie...

Well, they're about to find out...being tried as adults.

Yes, I guess so. I mean, he's not handsome in the same way that the more macho men are, but he's got something going for him, sorta like a sexual vibe. Bill has a sexual vibe...that's it.

Gotta love his audience though, they made it clear they didn't agree with him.

Funny you mention that, I certainly noticed the package, too!! The suit looked fabulous on him and fit great. Too bad he ruined the show for me when he talked about the kids fighting and religion at the end. He pissed me off.
