Earlier today, another member referenced (in a different topic) how a French cartoonist was murdered by Islamic terrorists because he dared to make an illustration of Allah that was published in a French newspaper he worked at. The building housing the Paper was also attacked. So, yeah; after the pause comes remembering that these individuals have chosen murderous violence as their way of Life. I don't feel sorry for any of them.

Upon seeing that meme, my first reaction was a smile. Then came the pause.

I believe Capital Punishment is God-ordained. I've believed that as far back as I can remember. I had never given the idea much critical thought (it's not my forte) until experiencing the film Dead Man Walking, which I think was very evenhanded.

I believe Capital Punishment is God-ordained. I also think taking a human life is a terrible thing.

I had to remind myself of that when I first smiled at that meme. I, also, don't feel sorry for any of them.

Are some things too serious to make light of? Or, is dark humor a coping mechanism?

Some company years ago did a study. Apparently girls who are into competitive team sports were the least likely to get unintentionally pregnant before graduating High School.

So for all the dads out there, if your wife is pregnant, go ahead and buy all of that sporting gear and equipment you want. Since, regardless of gender, you're going to want your soon-to-be-arriving child to develop an interest in team sports, immediately!
