Back in my day, we blamed pokemon for nuclear strikes.

So apparently some guys have made a bizarre connection between Threats of a nuclear strike by north Korea and gay marriage.

I am amazed they didn't find ways to include violent video games and rock and roll as possible culprits.

So basically what they're saying is that Kim Jong Un is a messenger sent by god to punish the US for their immoral ideas.

It always makes one feel sad when you realise that Too Dumb to Live is a trope that occurs in Real Life...

It makes me sadder to think that some people really believe that nuclear war is something that any benevolent god would wish upon their memories.

It would make me even sadder if it turns out they were right.

Reminds me of the "Obama? Osama? CO-INCIDENCE?!" thing from Fox News.

Rick Wiles, I am disappoint.

As long as you put it in the form of a question, you can keep up the illusion that the answer is anything other than "no".

...

I thought we were rid of this idiocy. I thought, this being 2013, that we were rid of "bad things happen because you're gay". I know some people don't agree with homosexuality, but I thought we'd made some advancements, and that horrible things weren't blamed on the LGBT society or gay marriage. What the actual fuck is wrong with this guy? To think that for even a second is depraved and wrong in so many ways I'd have locked him in an asylum by now. Dear god.

Some men like other men, some women like other women. Get over it.

I literally just banged my head against a wall.

I blame gay Pokèmon. :P God made Adam and Eve, Blastoise, not Adam and Steve. Ditch that sinful Sceptile and get yourself an Arceus-fearing Lopunny for a wife like a good 'Mon!

People never cease to amaze and disappoint me.

You haven't been out that much have you? The world is far from rid of these sorts of things. Very far.

Depending on which part of the world you're in, ideas like the above may not be the fringe. In a few places, they hold power.

So, evil Korea woke up one day, read the news, and decided to threaten nuclear strike because of gay Marriage discussions? I bet they threatened to nuke japan because of tentacle porn, and australia becuse of crocodile dundee. They are just not very tolerant.

But Lopunny can be male. And it's not in Sceptile's egg groups*

On-topic:

I thought hurricanes and earthquakes were our punishment for gays.

And have they forgotten that North Korea was doing this before the Supreme Court was discussing DOMA? North Korea just like to wave their nuclear penis around every chance they get.

Of course the guy is southern.

I...

I...

No, seriously.

How do I even belong to the same species as those guys?

Because the way their minds work is clearly, clearly alien to me.

What.

Do not tell Kim Jong Un some people over here think he's an envoy of God.

His ego need not grow further.

Honestly, people coming up with this crap doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Well, guess I make use of a certain meme: I don't wanna live on this planet anymore. But seriously though, why do some Christians act like dumbasses?

The first comment:

Man are we powerful!! We create floods and hurricanes and other natural disasters, the Nazi movement, and now starting a war with an entire country!! Too bad we weren't powerful enough to get our right to marry...

Logical conclusion: Become gay, develop ability to cause nuclear war. Perfect for an aspiring world conqueror.

Sounds like a book/movie worth writing/filming.

I'd buy it.
