Ohh, hope you enjoy it. We did.

Use of satire to ridicule religion. Are all religions fair game or some more than others?

I know the Mormons gave a measured response to the show but this should not be allowed.

It's one of the most common rational responses, yes.

Sounds like MrsGM is a keeper GarrettM. My other son wanted to go too but apparently a life like photo in a chair at work won't cut it.
So you two can go and watch a game I don't really enjoy watching.

It's one of the most common rational responses, yes.

Which one? All religions or some more than others? The fairest would be all religions but some would say don't provoke that one.

The fairest would be all religions

I haven't noticed your own criticisms of religion to be especially well-balanced.

It's called freedom of speech. And pretty much all religions have been ridiculed - just not in this show.

Nice wicket for Lyon in the 10th over of the match.

Four plumb LBWs to Lyon now.

Maybe you need to ask some Mormons as consensus seems to disagree with you.

That is sad to read. I am sure you will miss her though she sounded like she had a wonderful life with you.

Thank you and yes we miss here already. Our house sitter says that our one year old puppy will not let her out of her sight now and is obviously missing her the most.

"Pretty much" sort of answers my question.

Episode 200 of South Park, among others.

DID COMEDY CENTRAL WUSS OUT? 'South Park' Defies Muslim Extremists But Prophet Muhammad Gets Censored; UPDATE: Matt & Trey Say “Can't Stand Behind” Show | Deadline

Parker and Stone have built a brand of crossing all kinds of lines and being equal offenders to celebrities, politicians and religious leaders.

Sorry to hear the news. I am glad I got to give her a scritch a couple of weeks ago.

She was quite the character.

Actually I believe you have answered your own question to your satisfaction as you expected.

 

[Pushka]

"Pretty much" sort of answers my question.

Well. I didn't want to list them all or say 'All' just in case someone from the ' Jesstafarian freedom and cultural group' put up their hand and said "Not us"

But I think I know where you are heading with this and if I'm right then you are on the wrong track.

Welease Woderwick!

You definitely need to experience being behind a Victorian towing a caravan in QLD.A sloth would go faster.

Oh I get stuck behind them as I drive around VIC for work. They drive about the same speed as a QLD driver without a caravan in VIC

 

[Flashback]

Ahh, I forgot that red traffic lights were merely a suggestion in India. Fun!

Yep. ER opens up tomorrow. Son's partner who is a Dr has suggested that due to issues for the next couple of weeks we should go to Flinders Hospital. It's been an awful day for their transport but they seem to have carried it off today.

When? Tonight or in the morning? Or do we have to wait on the High Court decision on his NZ citizenship?
