Rhotic accents are the bane of our language, and a sign of amorality and disrespect towards tradition and God. New England and Charleston, South Carolina remain the sole bastions of real morality in our country today, which has been swallowed up by this sea of sin more and more each day since 1776.

Both r's in "partner" are silent. Get it right, or cry mightily unto God, so that your accursed tongue may be healed by divine grace, before it is too late. If your children are developing rhotic accents (test them if you must; "park the car in Harvard yard" is the standard litmus test), you OWE it to them to take them back to England, or Boston at the very least. Otherwise, don't be surprised to see them waving a large cucumber atop a float on their 18th birthdays. Don't say I didn't warn you.

*"sanitized" to comply with 2012's amoral lack of justice and accountability
I'm putting this in my own, personal HOF.

BTW OP: If your girlfriend wrote a report stating my 7-year old needed counseling for holding hands with a friend I'd be in the office demanding my child be pulled out of her class. And she wanted to pull their arms out of socket? For holding hands? Wow. Anger issues maybe?

p.s. We use the term "partner" a lot in my family. We stole it from John Wayne. Sometimes we're even "pilgrims" though the family genealogy doesn't exactly allow us to.

I had a partner in second grade. She was my bestest best friend and we partnered up for all the classroom activities that required partners. We would even *gasp* hold hands when going down the hall or getting on the bus so that nobody would separate us.

And there was nothing romantic or sexual about it. Why? Because we didn't know better. And guess what else? Nobody cared.

Two organizations that clearly encourage same-sex interactions where young children are often forced to have a "partner." Clearly, these organizations should be banned for eroding the moral fabric of Uh-merica. It's just disgusting how they have slowly infiltrated our society:

Girl Scouts of the USA: Official Web Site

Scouting

Clearly, some people on this forum have some rather serious issues. On the up side, it's good to see that the overwhelming majority of people on here seem to have their head on straight (no pun intended) and are seemingly able to maintain at least some degree of sanity.
