Yeah, and mine planned on me being a Lutheran pastor.

40-odd years later, I'm an agnostic, and have been since 1983.

So what? That doesn't make me "technically Christian".

Grow up.

"expect to see this same joke again four years from now"

I looked up ACT test and college tests scores myself, all lower in the red states.
link please. did you account for interstate movement of these test takers? explain exactly how college test scores of 17 year olds can be used to precisely interpolate the intelligence of an entire voting population.

And red states take more of the tax money than the blue states do because they are poor with less jobs/lower paying ones.
what does that have to do with IQ? are you anxious to change the subject for some reason?

He's not a muslim because he said he wasn't and has attended a Christian Church his entire life. This just shows how un-smart you are. Let me ask you a question. What makes you think that you're not an idiot?

Yeah, I recall that Obama attended Reverend Wright's church for 20 years, but somehow didn't recall his [very] close friend's explosive racial and anti-American messages. Maybe that just shows how "un-smart" Obama is!

Oh wait is he Christian now? I thought you said he was technically a muslim?

In August, The New York Times Magazine did a story about trolls, some barely out of their teens, who antagonize others for the sake of "lulz": "Lulz is watching someone lose their mind at their computer 2,000 miles away while you chat with friends and laugh," one ex-troll told the publication.

Some people are just bitter and angry," said psychiatrist Dr. Terry Eagan, medical director of the Moonview Sanctuary in Santa Monica, California. "Sometimes, they're against everyone, other times against a specific group. That person can get really stimulated and can say all sorts of horrible things. But I don't think it's not like they didn't exist before."

No, I don't think he is either, but my guess is that he leans toward Islamic ideology.
