I heard the MOST annoying thing about Corns....

Ha, thats a funny story...I also went to VBS...my mom is still a teacher. I actually liked it, but I have been raised in church and live in the middle of the bible belt. But I like the thing about the staff turning into a snake :) thats a good one.

I wax philosophical about all of the subjects he himself never touched upon. Like anything about sex.

And your wrong about that one...he touches on that subject quite a bit. I can give you the scriptures in about 2 minutes, I beleive I have all of them marked. But thats not on subject....

Anyway, I agree with MinLynn says about the trashy thing bothers her more than anything. I put pictures of Erricca on my MySpace and I had numerous people comment and say "So, when will you be moving to Barlow?" (Barlow IS the trash part of our town.)

I have three dogs, four cows, a few lizards and Erricca and I am NO WHERE close to being trashy...

I think the White Trash thing gets to me more than the religion thing. I mean,if that were all true then I'm the whitest trashiest mess there is! With all my snakes and reptiles AND 7 cats and 4 dogs! And can you just picture Eric as white trash? LOL! I'm trying to! I really am!
Anyway, those have met me in person should know that I'm the farthest from white trash. In fact,if you wanna know the truth,I'm just a teensy bit stuck up. People can throw their bible at me all they want and I don't care but don't call me white trash! LOL!

And I can't picture Eric as white trash either, as hard as I try. That particular man is walkin' talkin' class!

same here!
6 snakes, 1 dog, tons of outside cats, a 1918 farm house thats starting to get a little rotted on the outside, 2 ATV's, a farmer, living out in the middle of nowhere, setting off fireworks from missouri, etc etc etc..... I am the whitest trash ever if all of that counts. Which for the record, DOESN'T.
 
oh and i forgot the cows and pigs and our large garden in the back yard, crawdad fishing off of the crick bridge, heck, calling a creek a crick!!!

You know it's funny. In the Deep South, I was raised that using the "N" word was just absolutely not done. But on an even deeper level "white trash" was even more of an insult. One might speak in generalities, but calling anyone that was just below the belt, cruel, mean, hateful, and just not done.
It's funny the regional significances that certain prejudicial words or phrases take on.

Incidentally, Mindy, as a caucasian, I am far far more embarrassed by the white guests on Jerry Springer than ANY of my fellow snake-keepers. :laugh:

You MUST watch this to the very end :

 
If owning a snake means I am going to hell and trashy so be it. We enjoy the hobby, and if others dont like it they dont have to engage in it.

COerriccaRN, this just opens the doors to some great pranks lol. Those rubber snakes can look pretty realistic...

Russell, thanks for the post at the beginning, I loved that.
 
It is my firm belief that God never intended for us to shove our beliefs down people's throats.
Every time we tried to act "in his name" we unleashed a new catastrophe... The Crusades for instance were far from being holy, the inquisition.... same.

I don't quite understand why every religion tried to label God as "it's own"... isn't that a bit presumptuous?
Also, since when were we taught not to allow others to tread their own paths as long as they do not hurt others or themselves?

COerriccaRN, I have nothing against your family. I simply can't fathom why people waste so much energy on enforcing their beliefs on others... and that goes for your family too if they are willing to subject you to unkind sayings.

It doesn't mean they are bad, or evil... I simply disagree with the way they operate. I am voicing a personal opinion that is no less or more correct than that of anyone else
 
I agree A10Airknight! People can call us trashy all they want...I get called it plenty here in Texas. With all our dogs, hogs, cows, quail and snakes...Plus the fact that every winter I turn into a one-girl deer hunting machine LOL if that means I am white trash, then I am white trash and PROUD :)
 
I think it really is a southern thing,Eric! Being called White Trash is like being called the "N" word. It's just not done! And don't get me started on Jerry Springer! Why is it that they always make people who are "supposed" to be trashy speak with a southern accent? Grrr! Makes no sense whatsoever. I've met some pretty trashy people and guess what? None of them had an accent,none of them owned nary a reptile and lots of them lived in nice houses,too!

I loved the video!
 
Well, its not like they are enforcing their beleifs on me. I beleive the same thing as them...they just like giving me a hard time all in good fun, although they don't understand how I feel about it. My family are great people and love me and would nevr hurt me on purpose.

I wasn't starting this thread to start a religious discussion or talk about different beleifs...just talking about annoying things in general people say about corns. Not to talk bad or say bad about anyone or any religion or just religion in general.
 
Dean, that is hilarious. Alright kids, "put away your Hitlers", it's time for bed. LOL.
Reminded me of "The Boys From Brazil" (1978).
The ultimate punishment---to be cloned and humiliated for eternity.

( And I did watch the rest of the clip. )

I learned that much in the Bible is metaphorical and figurative, (not so simple as literal). A clever and brilliant way to teach higher thoughts and ideas and principles. Jesus was a brilliant teacher, but his audience just wasn't that bright. But he did his best. I wax philosophical about all of the subjects he himself never touched upon. Like anything about sex. I even went on to study philosophy. But again, I digress.

Let's just pretend that I'm from Missouri, The Show Me State.
Indulge me, and elucidate line by red-highlighted line where Jesus, from his own mouth, delivers his new testament message,...scheme, platform, whatever you want to call it,...on sex for his time and the future of the evolving world.

Or at least detail for me where exactly, and in what context he "touches on that subject quite a bit"........

I graciously extended your 2 minutes to 6 hours. Do you need more time?

Oh Emily, sweetie, don't be silly. And definitely don't feel bad.
But you do get the prize for kindly whipping everyone back "On Topic". We may need you down the line. ;)
Lordy, lordy here's one for you. And it is true.

Well every summer growing up.............. But I digress.

Well low and behold, .......... But again, I digress.

Well, before, between, and after .............

Still not feeling satanic, I graduated high school.

Well I was ethically torn. But I digress.

Anywaayyy,....
Now, you have my story.

I always find it entertaining when people refer to any particular area as trashy. As a person from an area of Baltimore county that is often called trashy by people from other areas (seriously, google "Dundalk, MD" and find out) I feel compelled to ask... what do the folks in Barlow think of said statement? ;)

I like you :laugh: You have touched one of my biggest issues with organized religion.

As far as my snakes... I got told they are gross, disgusting, etc... all the time. Water off a ducks back.
