I vote Classic, better that these people get their aggression out on the internet rather than real life. And if you're bothered by such aimless assholery then you're obviously too delicate for the internet and they're doing you a favor by giving you a thicker skin. Plus the minute things get too polite around here you might as well just fuck off to some wah-wah crybaby boo hoo my life is so terrible forum for emo teens or people supporting each other losing weight.

Adopt-a-Lamanite = adopt children of color into superior white homes
I don't want to seem overly harsh towards Mormons. A lot of their ideas and practices are retarded -- retarded in the sense that they held them/followed them long after they fell out of fashion with general Western thought. In Mormon theology there were Nephites (white people) and Lamanites (not-white people). It goes without saying that the Nephites were thought superior to the Lamanites. This seems pretty WTF now, but at the time the Americans and British were hard at work trying to scientifically prove their superiority to people of color, so it wasn't that outlandish a concept in the 1800s. However, the Mormons kept up this line of thinking well into the 70s.

xp grew up around a lot of them. My big highschool crush was a black sheep that later returned to the fold. My bf was raised Mormon but equated the Mormon teachings with the black & white B movies he watched Saturday afternoons - and the latter were more compelling than the former. Basically he called bullshit on it at a pretty early age.

Fromapamphlet they give to missionaries:
There are some men who entice young men to join them in these immoral acts. If you are ever approached to participate in anything like that, it is time to vigorously resist.
While I was in a mission on one occasion, a missionary said he had something to confess. I was very worried because he just could not get himself to tell me what he had done.
After patient encouragement he finally blurted out, "I hit my companion."
"Oh, is that all," I said in great relief.
"But I floored him," he said.
After learning a little more, my response was "Well, thanks. Somebody had to do it, and it wouldn't be well for a General Authority to solve the problem that way"
Fuck them.

I lived in upstate NY for a while not too far from Palmyra. There were missionaries everywhere and as a joke a friend gave them my name and number as someone interested in learning more/possibly converting. They called me all the fucking time. I had to leave a msg on my voicemail saying ". . . please leave a msg unless this is the Mormons again. If it is, stop calling me because I'm an atheist and not at all interested".

Ok if they show up don't shake their hands, according to Mormon scripture if you don't shake hands with someone it indicates you are a demon. It is like the meanest/best way to get them to go away forever.
