her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome;

I'm starting to truly detest the word 'right'.
The only 'right' I recognize is the opposite of left.
There are no absolute 'rights', no right to love, live, marriage, freedom or damn all anything else.
You want something? You want a right, then get off your fat lazy ass and fucking fight for it!

Apologies to all none-English posting persons.
I have no idea how to filter out none English posts and as I cannot read any other language (apart from a little French and German) the only method I have of filtering out such distractions is to block such posters.
It is NOT my intention to demean.

If anyone says atheists are good, moral, evil, MAGAs or anything else I will FUCKING OBJECT!
Because what you are doing is projecting YOUR biases onto us.
If you're a humanist, secularist or whatever fine post there, but do NOT take my acceptance of YOUR beliefs for granted.

It is now long past the time when #f1 should secede from the FIA and set up it's own governing body. Other motor sports can join (this new body) or stay with FIA, but F1 should secede.

Posting a prayer on the #atheist feed is about as effective as trying to pay your mortgage with unicorn horn!
And in my case will just get you blocked.

Proud fucking idiots! If you stick to your position when presented with proof you're wrong, you're a fucking idiot and I'll block you.
I don't have the time or energy to educate those who refuse to learn.

I'm an #atheist. However, that has no bearing on my morality. Atheism is a lack of belief in a god. My morality, comes mainly from my upbringing and life experiences.
