Works for me.  strange.

OK. I’ll try it again later.

Well the picture was what the link was for, so trying again is not necessary.

Wow a bit off topic.  So have you front hugged anyone today yet?

So have you front hugged anyone today yet?

Ironically I haven’t done that for quite some time.

Just the wife and kids for me, occasionally Grandma and Grandpa when I see then.  They were in the process of moving to Idaho, when we decided to move back to Missouri then moved back too.  They love me, I am their favorite and they like to tell everyone that.  It gets my “sister” upset, but no one really likes a moocher such as herself, so what does she expect?  Anyway.

It seems to me that the folks promoting this are creating the exact oppoosite effect of what they had planned. After all, giving a hug (for most mormal people….. Acci ) is NOT thought of as a sexual act.  However, the people putting this concept forward are (inadvertently?)actually ENFORCING the idea that a normal hug is a sexual act.  Kinda self defeating.

On that note:

Why don’t Southern Baptists make love standing up?

So you’re not supposed to get all up in there and grind it out when you are hugging?  No wonder I don’t have any friends. 

Sorry, dude. I should have told you when we met up, but it felt so goooooooooood!

I like christian music from the 90’s and early 00’s.

I’ve found I really like Casting Crowns.

Some of their stuff is pretty edgy…..

Hmm.. Alex seems of the opinion it’s Poe’s Law in action.. which honestly doesn’t surprise me.

Still, I’d not be half surprised if there *were* folks out there who held that ‘normal’ hugs are evil, sexual acts.

Mormal people?  You mean Mormons?  What about other religious groups, though? 

And a hug can be a sexual act.  It all depends on the spirit in which the hug is given.  Sort of like kissing; in the Middle East and parts of the Mediterranean region, guys kissing guys is considered a normal greeting among acquaintances.  They just don’t kiss their friends in greeting in the same way in which they kiss their wives.

Accually Acci, they do in many cases.  I remember being pretty uncomfortable holding my boyfriend’s in public in some countries around the Mediterranean because we were often the oddity being a heterosexual couple.  It was more common in Beirut to see male couples than it was to see mixed sexual couples.  But a great part of that was because wives were (in some countries around the Med) for one specific purpose and young men didn’t marry until they were a lot older and could both afford a wife, were more sexually settled and were ready to make children.

I guess they smack their wives around a bit first to keep them in their place?
