Great insight, Pearl. It's so true ...Ummm, HOLLA!!! Great insight, Pearl. It's so true that the don't-say-no parenting and the overindulgence of parents who were too busy focusing on themselves to really parent (instead choosing to throw money and fun at their children), has led to this ridiculous, unfounded sense of entitlement that's causing all sorts of trouble.<BR/><BR/>Great commentary!!!Christa Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841320887356797524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480712880513420472.post-37849402973515414492008-12-07T10:31:00.000-08:002008-12-07T10:31:00.000-08:00After seeing this so-called "musical", I've decide...After seeing this so-called "musical", I've decided I will never get married to a member of the same sex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480712880513420472.post-20054706739584517762008-12-05T01:07:00.000-08:002008-12-05T01:07:00.000-08:00i can dig it:it doesn't work as an effective satir...i can dig it:<BR/><BR/>it doesn't work as an effective satire, because every single punchline is built on empty fallacies. <BR/><BR/>which is why it fails to be funny in any sort real way. maybe it's funny to people in high school who don't really know what is going on (you know, jack black is supposed to always be funny)<BR/><BR/>the good thing is that it's so refreshing to watch this and say to myself: i can take that musical apart line by line and calmly explain why it's errorneous or false.<BR/><BR/>that feels pretty good.H.ARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513222131924411286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480712880513420472.post-24737776043010135122008-12-04T18:35:00.000-08:002008-12-04T18:35:00.000-08:00There is a time to laugh and there is a time to be...There is a time to laugh and there is a time to be serious. There are things to laugh at and there are things that are to be held with respect. <BR/><BR/>Do you laugh when the "Star Spangled Banner" is played? Would you laugh at a muscial about the terrorists who hijacked airplanes and flew them into the buildings of a major US city? Of course not. <BR/><BR/>Just as those things are held in respect, so should be Jesus Christ and His teachings.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957801131518728125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480712880513420472.post-77441337167727731182008-12-04T13:30:00.000-08:002008-12-04T13:30:00.000-08:00I can dig it - I have a sense of humor, too. This...I can dig it - <BR/><BR/>I have a sense of humor, too. This is just not humorous. It's offensive and inappropriate, but very brilliantly disguised as "humor." Why? Because this message wouldn't work any other way. If it wasn't a comedy, people would be crying foul right and left. Instead, we're told that if we can't laugh, we're just as prudish as the marriage supporters depicted in the musical.Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13696307318838041605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480712880513420472.post-89254138738077252422008-12-04T13:05:00.000-08:002008-12-04T13:05:00.000-08:00Link it up baby! <----nice phraseology.

When did sacred things become so openly and brazenly subjected to mockery without so much as a "by your leave?" When were we taught to laugh at blasphemy and promote immorality? When did Jack Black, Margaret Cho, and John C. Reilly become authorities on the Bible? And when did their opinion take precedence over thousands of years worth of Biblical teachings from the Savior Himself and His prophets?"<BR/><BR/>My Jesus would find that entertaining. I think he even giggled about it.
