Did you get out and vote?

I wasn't able to as I'm not currently living in NC...I encouraged all of my friends and family to get out and vote though!

                        The last time I was in Iowa, I took the opportunity to run through a field of corn like an idiot. The corn fought back.

                        NEVER AGAIN!

                        [–]abom420 9 points10 points ago

                        Also, don't look closely next time, but you were probably covered in thousands of really, really, tiny bugs.

                        [–]Craig_Ferguson 14 points15 points ago

                        In the fall when I was still young enough to be belted into a car seat, my parents decided to take me to a corn maze, and bought a decorative stalk of corn to bring home. They put the stalk inside the car literally inches away from my face, and 30 seconds down the road all hell broke loose. Earwigs, beetles, flying ants, spiders and an assortment of terrifying creatures poured out of this thing on to the floor and all over the back of the car, and poor little me was unable to unbelt myself. There were at least a hundred insects in that bundle of corn, which was not an exaggeration of a young mind because after the trauma my parents had to have the car professionally vacuumed and cleaned. The WORST thing to fly out of that cornstalk was a big green praying mantis, that sat itself on the top of my carseat inches away from my face & threatened to fly at me any second. Screamed my ass off every god damned second of that car ride and the parents still wouldn't pull the car over to help 6 year old me. Dickheads traumatized me forever.

                        [–]macogle 5 points6 points ago

                        Dude I was so cut up and covered in bugs, it was terrible. Ticks really like me apparently.

                        [–]runs-with-scissors 14 points15 points ago

                        The BEST way to scare the shit out of yourself is to stand in a corn field at night by yourself and listen to all the zombie's whispering to each other about COMING TO GET YOU.

                        Oh, and getting lost. It's very easy to get lost in a corn field.

                        [–]macogle 5 points6 points ago

                        No thanks. I've had enough corn-field-related experiences for one lifetime.

                                              Now they think I'm from a great state. Putting them gays in their place. I hate my life. :(

                                              North Carolina isn't north of Texas. The northern border of the Texas Panhandle is 36°30' north. The northern border of North Carolina is also at 36°30' north. The parallel 36°30' north was the result of the Missouri Compromise.

                                              I guess that you could go call Virginians Yankees, though.

                                              I'll be damned, never paid that much attention to the map. I stand corrected. North Carolinians are real Americans after all.

                                                                edit: progressive senate too, but "congress" is more encompassing.

                                                                That's gonna be my face too. The nasty truth is that the voting public has no obligation to be informed or think beyond their prejudices.

                                                                Can you imagine if a public vote went down like that for any other major civil rights movements?

                                                                The reason this is being approached this way is because the ignorance of the public is way more reliable than the actual legality of the discrimination this bill implies.

                                                                      Anyway, it's fifty shekels of silver, but you don't qualify under those circumstances. The silver is for cases where the woman is single and not engaged to anyone. If she's married, then it's the death penalty for both of you. Sorry.

                                                                      On a side note, it's really debatable that "rape" is at all the correct translation. According to this, there are two words used. Roughly speaking, one of them means "grab", "hold", or "seize" and the other means "lay". Just like in English, the word can be used for sex (like "get laid") or for burial (like "lay to rest").

                                                                      So the penalties here are for a grab-and-lay. So the sins described here could very well be just plain old premarital or extramarital sex. Or it could mean rape, but it's very debatable. If anything, I'd be more outraged for that the penalty for consensual premarital sex is death.

                                                                      [–]heavenlyhedgepig 64 points65 points ago

Still some politician figured they could get a 'victory' out of this bill and thus... my home state gets flamed like a scientologist on /b/.

This is a very religious state and most people who are against gay marriage are religious. Plain and simple fact. Anyone who voted for this amendment can't give you a valid reason as to why other than it's against gods will to be gay. It makes me sick at how happy and proud some people by stripping away other humans rights.

A lot of people don't understand our large population and geography is going to have an absurd variety of beliefs, and that they do vary quite drastically depending on region or even state. California laws should not be imposed in Texas, and visa versa. The people are way too different culturally speaking.

There is currently a petition to overturn this decision and we will hopefully see enough support for it to do something. What's fucked up for me is I moved from CA right after prop. 8 passed and now I live in NC just in time for this shit.
