You hand these out without including a actual tip you are a terrible person and Jesus is disappointed in you.

I would like whoever makes these to find a SINGLE person brought to faith by one of these. Find me ONE.

These things reinforce every negative stereotype about Christians and push people away from Christianity. They’re not clever, they’re not loving.

We need to be better representatives of Christ than this.

Leave a tip and then feel free to write a Bible verse on the receipt. Better yet, talk to the people in your life who you actually have a relationship with and invite them to church before you try any of these cheap tricks to “reach” strangers.

Significantly more blunt than I put it to anon, but ya what they said.

Seeing as I am seeing tons of racists go on and on about the new Lord of the Rings Magic set they never have to interact with but love to because it’s the new tissue paper veil they use to try to get away with open racism you need to remember two things.  1. *Points to the image* 2. The Tolkien Estate approved all the art so…*points to the image again*

Tolkien gives this description of Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings: lean, dark, tall, with “a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, and in a pale stern face a pair of keen grey eyes.”

The Tolkien Estate is not Tolkien and has not been representative of what Tolkien wanted since Christopher Tokien died.

The one thing Tolkien hated above all else was how corporations, like Disney, were nothing more than glorified salesmen, who would water down, edit and change mythology to sell a lie to the public, to act like he would ever approve of this is beyond asinine.

The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings were conceived as the original stories behind an ancient but long lost English mythology, to call people racist for opposing obvious race grifting is not only dishonest but an act of disrespect to what Tolkien has crafted.

Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.” - JRR Tokien.

Fandom Problem #4071

You know what I hate? When a completely harmless or well-meaning action by one character somehow sets in motion a long, complicated chain of events, including multiple factors that they in no way would have ever been able to predict, and eventually leads to something very bad happening--and the fandom holds that character as being solely and directly responsible for the bad thing, just because they already didn't like them. (Bonus if these same people also dismiss direct, intentional wrongdoing when their fave does it.)

Jarjar Binks.

Yeah, I said it.

The evolution functions like with pigs and boars meaning if a modern cat girl is left in the wild she will start to develop the traits of the 1980’s version so unless you want a crazy razor clawed chick kidnapping every pretty boy (and the occasional girl) in your town keep your cat girls inside

gentle reminder that if u feel like time is flying by, note down all the good things that happened to you in the previous month. it might not seem like much but it really does ground you and make you realise just how many things you got to experience. in a day and age where we lose most of our time to technology, we sometimes unintentionally merge days together. sit down, reflect. you’ll be surprised at how much you remember and how warm and fuzzy those memories make you feel.

I absolutely hate the bs excuse for remaking old movies and replacing the white characters with POC that’s like, “But look at this picture of how excited this non-white little girl is to see a princess who looks like her!!! We have to do this because representation matters!!! ”. It’s like, the problem isn’t that the character isn’t white, it’s that you are replacing a character that already existed in yet another useless and unnecessary remake for nothing but the sake of “diversity”. JUST MAKE UP NEW CHARACTERS AND IT WOULDN’T BE AN ISSUE. No one had an issue with Disney inventing the new character of Tiana in Princess and the Frog because she was an original character. Disney had never made a version of Princess and the Frog before. Same thing with Moana or Mulan. That is not the same as, for example, taking the character of Ariel and making her black in the live action remake, because Disney had already made that movie and established that character as white. They could have simply made a different movie about an original black mermaid character and it would have been fine, but no, they have to lazily remake the same story and replace Ariel. It is so annoying and I refuse to watch any of these wokeified remakes on principle.

Having a black Ariel is barely representation, because now when someone says Princess Ariel people have to specify the black one or the white one. Black girls need a character that is entirely theirs, not a black version of a white princess.

Making white characters poc is even worse.

It means they can't even be bothered to care about any poc issues.

You can't just slap a coat of pigment on a character and say "Well they're black now." when their *entire fucking backstory* is still utterly and completely White.

It's why Miles works, but just making Peter black wouldn't.

Clark Kent growing up as an adopted white kid to white parents in po' dunk Kansas is going to have a different experience growing up then a Black Clark growing up with white step parents in po' dunk fucking Kansas.

And if we're not going to tackle those differences, there's no fucking point to swapping their race in the first place outside of "Look at the jangling keys, see how shiny they are? Look over here" baby pandering bullshit.

I had some issues with Falcon and Winter Solider, but they damned well got the "What if a black man got Steve's powerset" right.

American Headline News, more like Daily Mass-Shooting Report.

Yeah... Have you noticed the most violent places are democrat run cities with the most gun control and the most vulnerable are places democrats have banned guns, making the people there completely defenseless? I've noticed this. It makes me realize gun controllers are evil. 

Well yeah if you ignore all facts and truth and just say stupid shit, sure, anything is possible!

...I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

No sarcasm. Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, New York, LA and the list goes on. All democrat run with democrat gun control and violent as all hell. And 94% of public mass murders take place in gun free zones. 

Gun control doesn't work. It just enables criminals and mass murderers. 

Gun controllers are evil.

It's one of those interestingly fucky things where large urban centers are, in fact, the place where a majority of gun violence and bad policing happens. One could very easily argue that it's a factor of population density and that can be a factor, but it doesn't erase that fact.

The next interesting point is that almost all large urban centers favor democrats, and have had a majority of democrats winning both local and federal positions.

This leads to the very interesting correlary that the places with the most attention to major crimes and police misconduct (as well as those places with the largest amount of violent street crime) always have democrat run leadership.

This isn't even some kind of strange kind of bullshit, this is actively true and actually real.

And when anyone brings it up, the immediate response is, well...

"Well yeah if you ignore all facts and truth and just say stupid shit, sure, anything is possible!

...I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not."

Sorry OP, but this is just how things actually are, and part of the reason it is this bad is BECAUSE how often people aggressively work to ignore the problems that exist.

Evidence? At all? For any of this?

Give me a Murdoch rag article at least.

Try. Please.

Go look for yourself. Organize by murder, see the statistics. Top five.

Your refusal to accept how things are is not a rebuttal. The world is not as you expect, nobody's surprised at that, you respond to the truth with outright denials. Hell, I even expect your next response to come with a block.

Gish Galloping! THAT'S what this is called! When you spam virtually meaningless / garbage "evidence" in a debate in an attempt to overwhelm your opponent with nonsense and distract from the fact that you are bad at arguing.

Ben Shapiro does it all the time.

Like here. These statistics literally do not matter, because the gun problem in these cities is a problem with the number of guns in existence and lax regulation of them, and has nothing whatsoever to do with who is running the city.

You dipshits.

"Statistics literally do not matter"

Get a load of this guy.

A MONTH later, this is the reply. Even more fun because they're claiming my GIVING THEM THE PROOF THEY ASKED FOR is Gish Galloping.

Also, this isn't what gish galloping is!

"During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of many specious arguments, half-truths, misrepresentations, and outright lies in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate.[3][4] Each point raised by the Gish galloper takes considerably more time to refute or fact-check than it did to state in the first place, which is known online as Brandolini's law.[5] The technique wastes an opponent's time and may cast doubt on the opponent's debating ability for an audience unfamiliar with the technique, especially if no independent fact-checking is involved or if the audience has limited knowledge of the topics.[6]"

This isn't a verbal debate, there is no time limit, nothing stated is untrue, everything stated is in support of the argument already presented.

This isn't a series of fake arguments, it's one simple argument presented that this asshat can't refute. That there are issues outside of guns in large urban centers, and violence unrelated to guns as well, both of which contribute to the issues of gun violence in america.

But none of that is something this idiot can deal with, so they remember about gish galloping a month later and throw it out as if some random bad debate tactic is an actual response to what I said.

They really just wanted me to throw out some news article that they could claim is fake, they were not prepared for me having the sources to support my position.

How dare you use more then one Wikipedia article! Did you even donate to their last fundraiser?!

Take a moment to appreciate that more time, effort, and detail went into creating a set piece for this one stupid little bit that was only going to be seen onscreen not only for the briefest of moments but on a low-res late 1980's television onscreen, than went into the entirety of one of the Disney live-action remakes.

by the way i'm the reason why they send weathermen into hurricanes and shit. "it's needless and dangerous!!!!!" i don't care. every day i call into CNN and demand they send their most pathetic newscaster into a storm to watch them be knocked down by wave and wind and they sigh and say yes ma'am. and i do this all for nasty, sexual purposes, if you were wondering.

my favorite part of this post is people started tagging it with names of characters i've never heard of so i got curious and googled them and like a third are just tagging it as their local weatherman. very funny.
