A nice sentiment, but it's a repost of a repost of a repost from yesterday and these facequote things are getting hella old.

[–]JazJon 0 points1 point ago

If you controlled Reddit, what would you do to prevent re-posts? I never saw this post in the past, and can't expect to read every reddit post 365 days a year.

[–]Violettx321 0 points1 point ago

Every single time I see everyone cry repost, I haven't seen it before. Unless it was on the front page of a differnet sub the same day(that actually is annoying) then let it be.

[–]systmh 0 points1 point ago

I dunno, the karma decay bot does a pretty good job of it sometimes. It needs to be more prevalent.

Facequotes in general just bother me, really. It takes something that really only requires a self post and puts it in a macro along with a rather redundant photo of the person who said it... all for that sweet, karmalized goodness.

Susan B. Anthony looks like John Malkovich.

Well not necessarily, sometime it goes completely against the person desire, but its very aligned with God commandments in the bible...

[–]clutchperformer 7 points8 points ago

I've never once seen a religious person go against their personal desire.

Not. Once.

They will say things like "I'd love to live a life where I drink, party, lie, steal, murder and have sex all the time, but the Bible forbids it and I've chosen to submit to God's will."

It's like a person who's mad about not being invited to a party saying "I didn't want to go to that party anyway."

They want rules. They want to be ruled. They want everyone to have the same ruler. They want everyone to have the same rules. Because misery loves company.

Many of the most anti-gay people on the planet happen to be gay.

[–]clutchperformer 0 points1 point ago

Indeed. They want less gay permissiveness and liberty in the world because it makes it easier on them to avoid temptation.

[–]lazyanachronist -1 points0 points ago

A very small portion of the most anti-gay people on the planet happen to be gay.

FTFY.

Marcus Bachmann...... that's all that needs to be said

Hey thanks for posting this OP, I didn't see it the last fifty times it was posted this month.

[–]TheActualAWdeV -3 points-2 points ago

Butbutbutbutbutbutbutbut it doesn't even remotely work!

Not only does it get reposted a billion times a week, it is thoroughly flawed as well!

If you say this to a theist or whatever, what do you think the answer is? Well shucks you got me there? No, they'll just say "I desire it because God does. "
