Yep. That's about it. The pastor probably couldn't be reached for comment, or didn't have the potential to be quits as iconic as this woman. For an news-tainment network pandering to the masses with limited capacity for independent critical thought, I think this interview was the right choice. If it had been NPR or the CBC, I would've been disappointed.>> ^hpqp:

Of course, it's not pastor Worley's statements that are stupid and homophobic beyond belief, it is just that the evil manipulators at CNN trawled through all the intelligent and ethical defenders of the pastor's stance to find the one pearl who would misrepresent him and his ideas the most. Nothing to do with the content of what she's defending, nuh-uh.

She was probably hand-picked for her stupidity and accent so Cooper could humiliate her and make her the poster child for homophobes. This is CNN, remember, not an actual news organization.>> ^bobknight33:
What a poor interview. This should have been with someone who had the intellectual capability to have this discussion. Where was the Pastor, Deacon or such who could have properly defended, justified the statements from the sermon.

If she was to represent any one else on any other topic she would have been just as bad.

She was railroaded for the pleasure of CNN and its audience.
That's not news that abuse.

Nah. The wilfully ignorant deserve to be mocked.

@bobknight33 You HAVE to be kidding... any interest in defending those statements yourself?... Devil's advocate even?... i mean ANY defense/excuse/rationalization/explination... anything? I'd really love to hear it. Or just consider for a moment the possibility that the comments made by this bigot and the folks who support him, reflect VERY well on the intelligence level of the person in this video. I suspect you'd have an incredibly hard time finding someone who isn't this stupid to go on camera and actually support them...

he won't answer, because we're all part of the liberal conspiracy! He'd just be walking into a trap!

It wouldn't matter even if he did. You can't rationally explain that sort of irrational hate. People like that are long gone from the realm of reason.

They're ultimately cowards anyway. Only a few psychopaths would have the stomach to actually commit the kind of cold blooded murder that the pastor describes. You actually hand them a gun and tell them to shoot a bound up gay person and most, if not all, won't actually do it. They're trained to be subservient to their god, but when their god fails to deliver them to their straight's only heaven on earth, they'll eventually submit to the social authority that declares that all citizens get equal rights and they'll be subservient to that too and they'll die quietly as closeted bigots right alongside all the other closeted bigots that think blacks are inferior and women shouldn't have the right to vote.

He asked her some pretty basic questions.

She hung herself. You saw for yourself how she was so completely flustered she was and changed her answer multiple times. You've sunk to new lows @bobknight33 for defending this piece of shit.

It's slightly sad seeing tracks in that state, knowing how much hard work went into laying them.
On that same token, nice to see people still find ways to appreciate them.


I used to walk down a railroad near me once every few weeks. Went on for absolutely miles and miles, i joined it from the village nearby and followed it for 8 miles or so then turned back, didn't reach the end. It weaved through all the busy areas around here and ended up being one of the most serene and enjoyable nature walks i've had, on a deserted railroad overgrown with plants and stuff.

They barricaded it a few months ago, no one's allowed on it anymore.

I was gonna say the same thing about your mother.>> ^Mammaltron:

You'd be shocked to find how many places have railroad tracks buried beneath them or in their parking lots.

They are a PITA to remove, so people just build right over them and you'll never guess they were there until you hit one and find out it's going to cost you a lot more to do the work because they are such a pain to remove.

And if you decide you want to hook up to the railroad system, they charge you an outrageous amount to come and repair/certify the tracks you want to start using.


I am not sure if they have restrictions on removing them and that's why people just bury them or if it's because it's just easy to bury them than try to remove and take them to be melted/landfilled/whatever.



But yes it's depressing to see railroad tracks all over the place like that and in disrepair. Just like it bugs me to see old and architecturally interesting or unique buildings left to rot or sitting empty because the whole neighborhood around it slowly turned into a ghost town or shit hole high crime spot. While the building that's no more than a tin shed is being used and sitting right next to it making the older building look even more out of time.
