Guys! You have to put things into perspective and look at the bright side!
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 12:01 AM by sysoprock
Thousands feared dead in the south.
Gas is hitting $6.00 a gallon.
At the cost of billions, Iraq is becoming Iran Jr.
Our deficit is huge.
CEO's are making 435 times what they pay their average employee.
Housing prices are so high only 30% of the population can afford them.

However... we can rest easy because gay people can't get married.

I don't mind working 2 jobs to feed my kids while watching bodies float through the streets on TV. As long as I can go to sleep at night knowing there are no married gay couples living in my neighborhood.

/sarcasm

"Values Voters"

Thanks for putting it all in perspective. The fetuses are safe and no wedding bells for gay people. God bless America. "Let freedom reign" (sic).

11. It's my running "joke"...
It's my running "joke" (if you can call it that) with my conservative leaning co-workers.

Everytime we discuss a royal fuck up that can be attributed to * or his policies I bust out the, "Yeah, but when you stop to think about it, at least gay people can't get married."

10. "Always Look On the Briiiiiight Side of Life . . . "
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

14. Don't worry, they are harmless until they think they have "rights"
As long as we can corral them into a "separate but equal" mindset, our children will remain safe!

15. Reminds me of the line Mike Malloy likes to use.
I always chuckle a bit when he does, if only from the silliness of the situation.
