Just another reason to let them leave the US…go out on their own in the wild world.

Although you have to admit, getting the armed crazy Texans to go face to face with the armed crazy Muslim extremists has a certain… appeal. Two birds, one stone?

Hopefully they use CHRISTIAN pigs or the jokes on them!
As I understand it, only people born there – and preferably of parents also born there – are real Texans.

However, if the cycle goes back too far (perhaps before 1836), then you are not a real Texan.

From the BBC article on it:
“Critics say they have concerns over Muslim burial procedures and fear it could lead to a mosque being built”
If they think step one to building a place of worship is burying corpses maybe someone start looking under the foundations of the local churches.

Since their proposed plan of action against this pathogen risk is to spread raw pig blood on the surface of the earth, I’m guessing you’re wrong.
It’s called foundation sacrifice, and it’s associated with major construction projects, including monasteries. The difficult thing is figuring out how much truth is in legends and reports of foundation sacrifice
Here’s a story of St Oran who is alleged to have sacrificed himself for the construction of cemetery walls

Do you seriously think discussing this argument with them will get you any further on the issue?
It’s an embarrassingly plain excuse for ignorant xenophobia/hate.

It’s an extremely old phenomenon. Earliest examples are found in neolithic earthworks. Somewhat famous recent discovery: Herxheim LBK

Yeah- I get that a lot myself and hear that myself working a blue collar job to pay the bills by day
as a machinist, but being a guy with a progressive/centrist position.
Common thing to hear “well if you don’t like X, that’s America, and you can/they can leave any time you/they want”.
I wish I was making it up. There is nothing more in this world, including winning the lottery, that I wouldn’t give to have a permanent magic stick that I could beat this particular stupidity/arrogance out of people with.
This fundamentalist view of America scares and saddens me. America is made of nothing BUT immigrants. We’re all different, and pretty recently different too. The idea of the country is supposed to be inclusive, not exclusive. We’re supposed to be better than that kind of mindset- that’s what America is to me.
Side note- is it too late to let Texas secede? I have no problem letting them do so. It would honestly be interesting to see what kind of country they become. Maybe it would attract these "Merica people and America could move on without them- and both groups are happy.

In Arabic, or pasted into a graphic from Zelda from NES where the old sage guy is saying “dodongo hates smoke” or something like that- but someone shops it so he says this.
Or combine the two. That would confuse the hell out of the TSA and everyone.

I dunno, a five year old unembalmed cemetary over-planted with vetch and a few willows would probably be perfect onion tilth. Embalming fluid can’t be good for the land.

In my mind I think of foundation sacrifices and Texas as not overlapping in time… I am probably wrong.
