(2)The other one lays around smoking dope and drinking and having babies he doesn't support while drawing a check paid out of public funds...
1. Men don't have tails. *Some* primates do. But humans don't. And primates don't get checks from the government. Which is acceptable to me. My dog and cat don't get checks from the government, so why should a primate with a tail get one???

2. God created Tobacco and Marijuana and water, and according to the Bible, it was good. Did God create computers, or staplers of concrete? No? I thought so.

Having babies? Aren't babies the most precious, wonderful, and fantastic things on Earth? Don't many people want every single possible baby to be born because they are worth more than any currency humans could produce? Aren't they invaluable?



In conclusion, I don't think monkeys should be taking good, hard-working, American jobs... and the people that only consume what the good Lord put on this Earth, and make little miracles, should be compensated for their efforts in keeping this country Christian... just like Jesus intended.

Too bad that more of the people who produce them don't feel that way.

I'm pretty sure of that now, but I wasn't when I originally replied.

I was just going back and reading and realized that I made a typo...I meant to say that I don't think the owner is driving home in her Rolls. People who are making these arguments are not talking about small mom and pop shops.
