Thinking about the stupid World of Warcraft fliers here...

For me only #4 and possibly #9 depending on the bands.

I'm surprised at how many people are such prudes about strip clubs and arthouse theaters, seriously you would be inclined to not vote for someone because they owned a theater that showed Shame (80% on Rotten Tomatoes) or Killer Joe (76% on Rotten Tomatoes)?

And what if the person baptized as an adult was still liberal on all issues? Because you know that applies to me.

So seriously curious, would the people who are saying they would be less likely for someone baptized as an adult say the same for any candidate who was a Christian?

Some of these are things that I find a bit silly to make a fuss over but do apply to me and I have privately expressed concern about interfering with where I could go in local politics.


Even you'd be bugged by an adult baptism? Again I ask to anyone voting that what is the big difference between that and a candidate simply being a Christian.

Really, 3 is the most offensive to me. 2 is somewhat offensive, but I suppose they could placate me by spinning it off as small business entrepreneurship or something.

What is offensive about 3?

OK this is showing some ridiculous double standards I've always suspected. The fact that even conservatives are listing #5 is proof of that. If I had included "is a Catholic" or "is a Mormon" I'm sure it wouldn't be anywhere near that number, which kind of kills the excuse that it's just because they believe that person would have to be socially conservative (which as I prove, is not true.)

Also the strip club and indie theater results show that this forum is actually quite prudish.

Maybe.  But to me, charismatics are more full of sh**t about their religion than your average Mormon or Catholic.  It's the speaking in tongues.  You seriously want us to believe you're not consciously mumbling random sounds and that it's the spirit of the Lord coming through you?   Please, sounds ridiculous to me.

Hmmm? I don't speak in tongues.

I've got no problem with stripclubs, but the kind of guy who would go into that business (of all businesses) skeeves me out.  If that makes me a prude, so be it.

Well some are kind of crazy yes, I once heard a stripper tell me she was fired from another club because the owner believed she was an assassin out to kill him and that the CIA was actually out for him. She pointed out he used to do tons of LSD and probably fried his brain or something. But not all. There's a town in southern Minnesota that elected a strip club owner to their city council. And what if it was a woman?
