I didn't read the article, but the "prosti-tot" thing just makes me roll my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI've found that when these "amazing" controversial articles are written and begin making things extreme with "clever" puns such as the one mentioned, they're usually hogwash.
Then again, I guess my ears and mind are still alert and hurting from listening to the ramblings of an extremely conservative Christian woman, so perhaps I'm being just a little irrational.
Here's the article I mentioned today:

If you have time, please read as many of the comments as you possibly can, they're great. There is one about half-way down the page that is simply perfect, too.
I'm interested in what you think about this.
By the way, if you get a chance, check out my blog, too! Just click on my SN ("modestmr.green") in this comment, and you'll be sent there. Leave me a comment or something if you're up to it.
Thanks!
