A new bar has opened in St. Francois County and it's seemingly the first to cater to its
specific audience.

Norma Jean’s Restaurant and Pub is the first openly gay bar in the county. The target
audience may be the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender folks in the area, but
straight people are just as welcome.

The new bar is located at 6100 Route Y in French Village. They are open Tuesday through
Saturday and offer a happy hour daily from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
....

For more information on Norma Jean’s contact Gore at 573-358-7780.

So people will be marrying their pets and marrying their children people will be marrying pedophiles and having multiple marriage partners, people do crazy things just to be what they want to be. The quagmire of is repugnant to say the least! Nobody can refute the civil rights of citizens! However shunning those businesses plummeting real estate values people taking their children and moving away school closures and basic disdain for those type of people have visible effects. are not in the book of life and I don't buy sell or have any knowing business or friendship with them and the government can't make me either. If a - was broke down on the hyw or in need of medical attention I would do the good Samaritan thing just pass them up and let them die.Because I can pass them up and I can let them die! I am an American and I have my civil rights too!

In case you need refreshing, here's the parable of the Good Samaritan:

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

2. It's possible that this is Poe's Law at work, and it went over my head.

Poe's law

History

The statement called Poe's law was formulated in 2005 by Nathan Poe on the website christianforums.com in a debate about creationism. The original sentence read:

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

Apparently it's for real, though, as his other comments aren't any better:

3. I hope you're right

But considering some of the comments I've seen that are even worse than this, they'd really have to go even farther if they're trying for parody.

4. I can see how some passages in the Bible are subject to interpretation.

The words were originally spoken in Aramaic. Someone much later tried to recall them. Then they went in to Greek, with a translation that was subject to debate. Then they went into middle English, again with a translation that didn't quite catch the original intent.

But this passage: how many ways can you read that and not get the message?
