Jerry Falwell says.....

[buffettbride]

I'm so glad I didn't invite such a closed-minded, retard such as yourself to my wedding.

I'm extremely offended on behalf of the above-mentioned group (which includes myself)!!!! Although it IS getting difficult for me to keep track of the various groups and causes on whose behalf I AM offended, I will continue to devote inordinate amounts of my personal time to this and other causes on my list.

Thank you and good day!

It's a great joy to offend you. Any time.

I'm extremely offended that you find great joy in my taking offence on behalf of the above-mentioned group!!! And while it IS becoming almost too much for me to handle (ie keeping track of . . . etc etc), I will continue to make the effort to devote inordinate amounts of my personal time . . . etc etc.

Once again,
Thank you and Good Day!!


ps I'm glad all the mods seem to have taken the day off so that nobody can see me being extremely offended on behalf of the above-mentioned group.

i think i've achieved the offensive trifecta; retards, whores, and the obtuse.

[buffettbride]

ok. this was fun.

i'm gonna walk my whore-self over to my illegitimate child's acting performance.

I'm extremely offended that you find great joy in my taking offence

Reminded me of Blazing Saddles ; "Howard Johnson is right about Gabby Johnson being right!"

As a person who enjoys offending people and you to cry to the mod when you get offended that cracks me up!

Yes people with developmental disabilities should not be made fun of, but I am positive that was not her intent.

[RinglingRingling]

thank you for demonstrating why discussing anything with you is a lost cause.

did I use the word "whore"? no. that was your insertion. thank you for putting words in my mouth. And since you have now fixated on it, it is necessary for you to start name-calling.

If you like.. I can certainly toss some adjectives your way. I guarantee they will be as endearing and as charming as you have been.

I think I'm the one who started the name calling. It was fun and felt good and you deserve it for your antiquated way of thinking and insulting overall demeanor. I think she makes a very good point, and didn't even need to use the word "whore" because most of us knew that is what you were insinuating.

again.. whatever. There are some things that I am probably antiquated on. I doubt you are absolutely progressive in all your ways of thinking either.

And, you really have no idea what I was saying. I wasn't calling anyone a whore. Immodest, yes. A whore, no.

Now you're just being obtuse.

I know exactly what you were saying. You were saying it was insulting to be a guest at a wedding, and expected to bring a gift to a couple who had a child together before they were married, especially if the bride wore white as a supposed symbol of purity. Obviously, in your mind, a bride wearing white who had a child out of wedlock is not pure.

How or when I (or anyone) became a mother and the sanctity of my marriage have little or nothing to do with the gifts I may have received at my wedding.

well, it does kinda throw the whole concept of chastity, even the illusion of it, out the window...

but you make it seem like being invited to such a wedding is truly insulting to your intelligence, as if the bride is personally trying to offend and "dupe" you with white-dress wearing.

i'm so sad for the person who considers you friend enough to invite you to their wedding.

let me say this: I don't expect that there was no "test-driving" prior to the wedding. That aspect of marriage is as important as the mental/emotional and spiritual sides. For there not having been at least once together, when a couple hopefully spends 1/3 of their lives together in the same bed, would be scary. It might have worked for my parents, who have been together since March of 1962, but those were different times.

If you want the illusion of chastity, fine. Even a bride who is 7-8 months along, fine. I don't care. I'll write that off as weight-gain or a gown that has an unflattering cut. I'll buy into the illusion. I really don't care. I'll go, I'll be happy for the couple.

Where I feel annoyance is the point where the illusion fails. Pure white with all it entails, falls apart when you have to take the baby out in mid-ceremony to change a diaper. In that respect, I am probably backward. But, like I said before... I don't claim to be perfectly progressive.

Are you referring to me? If you are, I have to say that I'm extremely offended that you consider me the type of person who enjoys offending people!! Although it IS becoming a huge burden for me to keep track of . . . etc etc, I will nevertheless persevere in devoting . . . etc etc!!

Not for the last time,
Thank you and Good Day!!


ps I'm glad I finally cracked somebody up - I'm almost getting too tired to type!! Almost but not quite . . .

[live2ski]

bite me R2.

I was going to tell R2 that I was sure that he had insulted some women on this board....but didn't expect it would come up so fast!

You were way nicer then needed.

i think a lot of our christian friend folk forget to remember that according to their beliefs, only one person is supposed to pass judgement, and it ain't them.

Exactly. While I do hold the belief that I am indeed divine.....It is still not my place to judge people for their beliefs.

[live2ski]

I wore red to my wedding...and not a child in sight. What does that make me?

Sexy??

Faithfully yours,
Thank you and Good Day!!

Wow!

[Bubbaphan]

Well, this certainly offends me in the most offensive way.
Wait, I'm confused. Nevermind.

me wearing white had nothing to do with creating any ideas about chastity, which is what you seem to assume when any bride wears white. i picked the dress i liked because it was "the" dress. any bride understands where that is coming from.

as a guest at someone's wedding you should not go with hopes of not being illusioned, offended, or whatever. you should go to the wedding because at least one of the people up there is someone you care about and want to support them in matrimony, whether they are wearing white, green, or pink with purple polka dots.

you seem far more concerned with the tradition and impression of the wedding than you are the commitment the two being married are making, whether they have children or not.

you do all the test driving you want. it doesn't make me or your bride-to-be any less screwed, i mean, unpure.

Be equally offended for them all. God bless them.

Should Jerry Falwell ( I will not use any term of reverence or station) and I ever chance to meet in person, there would be very little other than our human condition that we share in common. He would feel that my lifestlye and beliefs would suit me perfectly for the fires of his hell. Am I donning an asbestos suit? What do you think?

[RinglingRingling]

fine. obviously there are nuances here that are not coming out in flat text. 65 million colours out there, one that has a certain traditional signficance, and there are a lot of facets. I don't know how to explain it in the full depth, width, and breadth.

I would hope that if they got to this point (standing in front of God and two families), they understand the enormity of the promise they are making when they take their vows.

Does that mean that I am going to wish them ill or hope that it doesn't last if the bride just popped out quintuplets and decides to claim they were an immaculate conception? no. I hope they are happy and together for the rest of their lives. I just don't understand the need for the pretense. One could even say it sets a precedent for other events in the marriage.

Even that doesn't really come close to explaining it. But I've spent enough time on this one. I don't see the need to change my position any more than you probably do; I honestly thought you had been married, never called you a whore; and we should probably just let it drop with an agreement to disagree on the tradition and its continuation.

[ragtopW]

that answer everything?

No. Do you hold men to the same standard? So you let men who have had children before marriage have weddings? Do you demand clothing that makes them as whores as well?

Men can have babies now????

maybe that's what my problem is...










folks.. I am sooooo just kidding.

[jonesbeach10]

Would Jesus wear a rolex on his television show?

Would he wear a pinky ring?
Would he drive a fancy car?
Would his wife wear furs and diamonds?
Would his dressing room have a star?

Would he come in a box?
Would he be smart like a fox?
Would he like to buy a new house?
Would he speak like a mouse?
Would he make sense here or there
Would he be popular anywhere?
Would he like green eggs & hame?
Would he like them, Sam-I-Am?

[ragtopW]

Somewhere along the way, some religious nut probably decided a white dress was a symbol of purity.

White wedding dresses were actually symbols of wealth because in the old, old, olden days (even before Larry was born), few people could afford to clean a "light" colored dress and most wedding dresses for common folk were brown or black.

I wore a white dress at my wedding and I was the out-of-wedlock mother of two.

So there.

I still want to kick Jerry Falwell in the nuts.

there is a slight difference in that you had been married previously.

In my book, wearing a pure white dress on your first wedding day with your infant son sitting in the front row says, "I think you're a moron, gimme presents".

not so.. in my Book worse yet is someone coming onto BN and Inviting
everyone to Her Key West Wedding.... Gettting Presents
and even Lodging given and....

Well you know the rest..

[finz42]

What color do you suppose would be most appropriate if there were two brides? or two grooms? Just checking in to see if that makes a difference. And I know what Falwell would say to that one....
