How is this meaningless and how is it religious?

Might as well forget about any Christian holiday, for fear of it becoming "religious poppycock", or we could just forget about Christ altogether.

I think there is a religious adherence to being anti-religious these days, and the irony seems to escape them.

Actually, I was making a joke as much as anything.
But here is my actual position on the matter.
If an individual feels that setting aside a time to give something up brings them closer to Christ, then I say, Amen! Let him be convinced in his own mind.
However, when religious systems implement these traditions as having any value in their corporate adherance, then I say religious poppycock.

Of course Neo. He got his start on America's Got Talent. Google "Prince Poppycock America's Got Talent".

You might have to sneak a YouTube video to see him though.

America's Got Freaks. What do you think that model of masculinity does during Lent?

I see now, I agree with your position. :ebiggrin:

Actually FL, he's a really good performer. When he performed Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, one of the judges said he out-Mercury'd Freddie Mercury.

He's talented therefore he's OK? You almost sound like Ivellious!

I don't doubt that he's got talent; what I don't like is the image projected. Drag Queens are not wholesome entertainment, and their popularity on mainstream TV is another indication that society is on its way down.

Hey! why not produce a Bazi boy in the USA?! You know, intercultural exchange...open-mindedness...and he could be on stage with a 38DD stripper! and your Poppycock clown!

FL, you don't think it's wholesome entertainment because you're a conservative old coot! You need to get into the 21st century! This is THE future. You need to adapt to this changing world.
Get with the times, or be left behind. Polygamy is the new monogamy. :wave:

While I'm certainly no fan of the current occupant of the White House, I don't think he can change the USA into a Norway or a Canada, two countries where Socialism* seems to work well. It just isn't in the American mindset. But don't read me wrong! you guys are going perverted in your own inimitable way!

*the word ''Socialism'' when used by Americans, is actually social democracy, a form of government which considers that the rights of society will trickle down to the benefit of the individual. In the USA, the rights of the individual - first and foremost - are seen to benefit society at large.
