Troubletown.


EVER SINCE THE ELECTION WAS DECIDED ON MORAL VALUES, WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND WHO WE REALLY ARE AS A PEOPLE.

ARE WE PURE, PIOUS, PRIM, AND LUST-FREE?

I NEVER THINK ANYTHING PUERILE puerile /pu·er·ile/ (pu´er-il) pertaining to childhood or to children; childish.  OR PRURIENT!

OR IS THE BILLION DOLLAR PORNO INDUSTRY THE ONLY THING PROPPING-UP OUR ECONOMY?

ARE WE SHOCKED AND DISGUSTED BY TV?

I COULD'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS WITH MY KID RIGHT NOW!

OR DO THE NIELSEN RATINGS SHOW THAT WE'RE OBSESSED WITH WIFE-SWAPPING REALITY SLEAZE?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL TODAY.

DOES GAY MARRIAGE HARM THE SACRED BOND AND THREATEN THE VERY CORE OF OUR CIVILIZATION?

OR DO WE MANAGE TO SCREW IT UP ON OUR OWN 99% OF THE TIME WITHOUT HELP FROM ANYONE?

ARE YOU DRINK AGAIN?

DO WE ADHERE STRICTLY TO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?

ABSOLUTELY!

OR IS HAVING THEM POSTED NEARBY WHILE WE TASER Ta·ser  

A trademark used for a high-voltage stun gun.
 OUR CHILDREN GOOD ENOUGH?

THOU SHALT NOT Thou Shalt Not is the initial phrase of most of the Ten Commandments brought forth by Moshe the prophet. It can also mean:
  • ThouShaltNot is the name of a band whose style blends post-punk, industrial music, and synthpop.
 TASE TASE Tel Aviv Stock Exchange
TASE The All Seeing Eye
TASE Tactical Air Support Element
TASE Thrust Assessment Support Environment
TASE Telecontrol Application Service Elements (IEC communications protocol) 
 IS NOT A COMMANDMENT!

ARE WE LEAN, BOWFLEX CHRISTIAN WHOSE BODIES ARE OUR TEMPLES?

INSTANT RESULTS WITH NO CREMES!

OR ARE WE GROSSLY OBESE, GLUTTONOUS glut·ton·ous  
adj.
1. Given to or marked by gluttony.

2. Indulging in something, such as an activity, to excess; voracious. See Synonyms at voracious.
, & ILL FROM TOO MUCH JUNK FOOD?

GOD SAYS THAT BEING GAY IS WORSE.

IT MAY SEEM CONFUSING, EVEN IRONIC, BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE:

THE LORD WORKS IN SATIRICLA WAYS.
