Right. The people who think that the US is a "Christian Nation" and support laws that are based on Christianity are exactly the same as the people who think that Sharia law is a good idea. There are a few parts that many Muslims ignore, just like most Christians ignore the bits of Leviticus that ban wearing clothes made of more than one type of fabric, or eating fish of Fridays.
Likewise, the Kama Sutra isn't just about sex. It's a how-to guide for living, but people assume that the whole thing is about sex. The bible was partially about local laws at the time it was written, and partially about "god's laws". The two get mixed up far too often. The Koran has the same sort of mixture, and the fundamentalists try to move the grey area around for the same reasons that Christian fundamentalists move the biblical lines around to shit on Harry Potter.

It's almost as if deep down inside feminists just want to be dominated by a patriarchy, Most of them complain about women not having the same jobs as men (even though they can but choose not to) but will actually be totally ok with a system that controls every aspect of their lives.
It's almost like a subliminal cry for help, "Please put us in our place"

I still don't understand why some people think it's a good idea to speak from their ass.
Whenever I start talking out my ass I quickly get embarrassed and usually hide and shame myself for hours.

Totally agree- but I know why people think it's a good idea: school. School favors guessing and lazy certainty over honest ignorance, because the latter begets critical and independent thinking, which doesn't fit into the system. Most people buy into it and by the time they are grown up they are still living out the teacher's pet archetype, where they get to pick a simple answer to a multiple choice question (e.g. dem or repub candidate) and then are rewarded and told that they are "right" and get a gold star from the media machine that is aligned to the answer they gave, and by all their friends. Nothing is shunned more throughout school than plain ignorance, and most carry this into adulthood and the workplace. Too bad, because openly admitting ignorance is the quickest way to learn, and also to not be made a fool of or manipulated like the broads in this video.

This is a joke, right? There isn't an actual program to introduce Sharia law in Muslim neighborhoods, right? I think we'd have heard about that.

Yes, I've read about it too.

Yea, it's just supposed to make Hillary supporters look stupid. He was suggesting the answer he wanted to some of them by nodding before they responded to the question.
