Is That Legal?

Non-nasty this time -

this can't be real. What I mean is, this level of unself-conscious parody is generally a trait of younger chldren. This truly reads like someone imitating The Onion. If so, they did a great job - if not.... Actually, I can't quite imagine the 'not' part.

I am shocked to see that only one young man gave a good Christian answer! The Plunger dude rocks doesn't he? Such a practical and down-to-earth tool to have attached to your wrist.

The rest of the guys need a little reflection and prayer time about their answers. Such worldly violent images pirates and Wolverine claws!

Then there are the computer nerds and their questionable responses. Now I did not think they even allowed computers on Bob's U but it appears that Bob's boys use them and the internets! Unfortunately, we all know where that will end up don't we - eventually to worldly gossip and fluff and unltimately to porn.

Tsk, Tsk

Such liberal bohemianism is shocking in such a Godly institution.

The self-indulgence of forced innocence among the cloistered must seem ironical to the sophisticate. It is an interpreted parody, if parody can ever be unintended.

I guess it's sport to gawk at the retarded social development of young adults made awkward and mawkish by a religious regime that prizes ignorance over engagement, that confuses cornball humor with the implicit charge in Titus to become a "peculiar people". I shake my head sadly at the parents who expose their children to ridicule and irrelevence by sheltering them from the universe of ideas and in its stead create filters that distort the information they do receive.

I am ashamed that I find myself among the ring of bullies. These social children deserve our pity, not our taunts.

David,

I beg to differ. These young men do not deserve our pity. After all our culture promotes the concept of maturation as a product of genetics and the environment of our upbringing. We all grow up through varying levels of familial dysfunction and upon the agreed upon age of majority we are graduated from high schools and cut loose on the world.

We are from that point forward responsible for our "self" It then becomes our responsibility to understand our "self" and if wanting in social or emotional awareness we are to "fix" ourselves or "get thee to the psychotherapist".
If we are wanting in social or emotional maturity we are to "fix" ourselves or "get thee to the psychotherapist".

If you are too fat, too skinny, too smart, too dumb, introverted, painfully shy, awkward, unfortunately ugly, too innocent and I suppose unfortunately too-good looking, you must deal with the angst it brings, muddle through just like you did as an adolescent.

Our Godly naifs will just have to struggle through to Christian manhood....that is I hope it still lies before them, with the help of their personal relationship with Jesus/Fundamentalist subculture.

Eric you are as obsessed with BJ as I. Did you used to check out the now-defunct nobojo.com? That guy was pretty cool.

I liked the answer by Kyle Donahue. Made me think of a "Get Smart!" episode: "Not craw, CRAW!"

I'd cut off my left hand for a plunger right now.

"Computers are the second most useful thing I can think of after your hand—and brain."
Faith-based math.

...like Captain Hook. Captain Cook had both hands AFAIK.

I ask myself if the one who likes pirates is actually a supporter of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Maybe they opened their Pastoral Studies for this religion???
