​@amanda4313 I mean technically Taylor Swift is not the first to say that. Mark Twain said "Familiarity breeds contempt and children" in his time and it goes as far back as A.D times and that saying was "Familiarity breeds contempt, while rarity wins admiration" -Lucius Apulesis. However, we all know he would not have been aware of any of the other times those words have been spoken, and the context in which they were used. The irony is completely lost on him.

He is butthurt that a lot of people referred to Kelcey as "Taylor`s boyfriend" because they didn`t know him as a player. A lot of men had never experienced that they, or some man they find important, is referred to as "the partner of woman X" instead of being appricciated for their own accomplishments. It happens to women on a daily basis and these men find it perfectly normal and acceptable but they got really angry when it was done to one of their own.

[@wolfofthewest8019]

No, it's not. That's absurd. Was he insulting Travis Kelce by referring to him as "my teammate" rather than by name? No, of course not, and none of you fools has ever tried to claim as much. When referring to a third party unknown to the person you are speaking to, it is standard practice to refer to that person by their relationship. For example, if I said "Mike taught me everything I know about cars." that would be confusing to you, because you have no idea who Mike is. If I say "My step-dad taught me everything I know about cars," this will make more sense and feel more natural to you. Butker has 10+ teammates, many of whom have girlfriends. If he was going to quote one of them, it would not make sense for him to use their name. You wouldn't know who he was referring to. So instead, he would say "my teammate's girlfriend." What makes this a joke and makes it work is that everyone instantly knows who Butker means when he says "my teammate's girlfriend" because he only has one teammate whose relationship is major news in pop culture. He doesn't actually have any reason to mention Taylor Swift or to quote her, but many people in that crowd (especially the women) probably only know him as "that guy who is Taylor Swift's boyfriend's teammate" and are wondering if he's going to address the elephant in the room. By making a clever aside to her, he both gives the crowd what they want (acknowledgement of the elephant) without engaging in obnoxious name dropping. Getting offended by this joke and trying to spin it into some kind of insult against Taylor Swift is pathetic. Get a grip on reality. You have achieved "Look at that [expletive] eating those crackers" levels of saltiness.

You are absolutely butchering scripture to serve your own malignant ends.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest *to send out laborers( into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:36-38) The laborers are we Christians, the harvest is you, the heathen. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, *and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.* And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20) A more clear command to evangelize and preach the faith could not be given. "[Jesus] said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'" (Mark 16:15) Okay, well maybe that's even more clear. "Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness." (Matthew 9:35:) Jesus was sent by God to be a teacher, proclaiming the good news. "Again Jesus said, 'Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.'" (John 20:21) And Jesus sends us to do as his Father sent him, to be teachers. Here's a nonbiblical quote for you too: "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose./An evil soul producing holy witness/ Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,/A goodly apple rotten at the heart:/O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!"

@@441MsVanillaRose Wow, you're so close to actually understanding. It's amazing. Women in the modern age can expect to live to 100, and remain vital well into their 80s. They can't expect to have kids after 35, and they're most likely to be able to conceive in their twenties. So maybe, just maybe, instead of putting career first and waiting until your 30s to start a family, women should start a family, and put off a career until they're in the 30s and done having kids. Oh wow, if women did that, then maybe our population wouldn't be crashing and our entire civilization wouldn't be two generations away from complete collapse. But naw, progressives are too busy caring about the world to care about the world.

Both my bachelor's and master's commencements had speeches about things like embracing the change that comes with life and using your education to improve the world around you. As a queer person who was raised Catholic, the homophobia he espouses feels antithetical to the messages of love and acceptance I was told, especially considering that many of the stories I heard growing up involved Jesus showing love and acceptance towards people who were marginalized by society. Also if Harrison Butker is going to quote Taylor Swift, the quote he should probably be using is "It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me."

[@wolfofthewest8019]

Remember the part in the Bible where Jesus goes up to a bunch of sinners and tells them "I totally approve of you sinning. Keep sinning, enjoy sinning, it's all good." No? That's because that never happened. There is a part where Jesus _forgives_ a sinner and tells others not to judge (i.e. punish), but that part ends with Jesus telling them to "go and sin no more." The marginalized people Jesus ministered to were marginalized unfairly, not because they embraced lives of sin without repentance.

The "Well, that was an utter waste of my time." comment was my response to Q-Kiwi, because the video is trash. My other comments are engaging with actual people in the hopes of provoking an interesting conversation than challenges my thinking and expands my worldview. Not everyone understands that kind of motive. Not everyone has intellectual curiosity. Many people are happy to remain in an echo chamber, surrounded by people who agree with them, and cannot comprehend why someone would talk to people they _disagree_ with. Some people find the idea of being exposed to different points of view quite terrifying. You know, _stupid_ people. Sadly, I mostly just get NPCs who say trite, cliché and anti-intellectual garbage like "touch grass" while being a condescending jackass, because all morons think blustering condescension is the same thing as confidence in your argument, when really it's just a sign of deep insecurity and an inability to defend one's own thinking.

[@wolfofthewest8019]

Jesus didn't love unrepentant sinners. That's what you people always forget. You always remember that Jesus forgives sins, you always forget he then says "Now go and sin no more." You are prideful. That's why you're so angry, you don't like being called out for what you're actually doing. You don't want to repent and be forgiven, you want to be told that you aren't sinful at all. Also, bi/ace? So you have no sexual interest in both sex? What does that even mean? It's such nonsense. You can't be both bisexual (attracted to both sexes) and asexual (not interested in sex). It's absurd. You're just glomming labels onto yourself in a pathetic effort to pretend you're an interesting person, but you're not. You're boring and silly. What's even more absurd is that Jesus, who was asexual, specifically praised the asexual and said it would be easier for those who were "eunuchs by birth" (i.e. asexuals). And you've managed to screw that up by being prideful about it. It's hilarious.
