Do people who browse Uproxx have such delicate sensibilities that they can't handle seeing the word "shit" in print?

Auburn woman files federal case against all homosexuals


An Auburn woman calling herself an ambassador for God and his son, Jesus Christ, filed a federal lawsuit Friday against all homosexuals.

Sylvia Driskell, 66, said in the suit that she is petitioning the U.S. District Court of Omaha to be heard "in the matter of homosexuality. Is homosexuality a sin, or not a sin?"

In a seven-page letter framed as a lawsuit, she cited Bible passages that described homosexuality as an abomination and against nature, and she said never before has the nation or the state been "besiege(d) by sin."

"Will all the judges of this nation judge God to be a lier [sic]?" Driskell asked.

She said she petitioned the court because she feels it imperative to stand up for the moral principles on which the nation was founded.

You should cross-post this to the politics thread, Carson or Huckabee may have found their VP.

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm completely partial to the female form in matters of sexual attraction, but I would actually pay $ for the opportunity to represent the defense if that thing ever went to court.

Actual African guy politely explains why he and his people don't particularly give a shit if a lion dies.
In my village in Zimbabwe, surrounded by wildlife conservation areas, no lion has ever been beloved, or granted an affectionate nickname. They are objects of terror.
The American tendency to romanticize animals that have been given actual names and to jump onto a hashtag train has turned an ordinary situation — there were 800 lions legally killed over a decade by well-heeled foreigners who shelled out serious money to prove their prowess — into what seems to my Zimbabwean eyes an absurdist circus.
PETA is calling for the hunter to be hanged. Zimbabwean politicians are accusing the United States of staging Cecil’s killing as a “ploy” to make our country look bad. And Americans who can’t find Zimbabwe on a map are applauding the nation’s demand for the extradition of the dentist, unaware that a baby elephant was reportedly slaughtered for our president’s most recent birthday banquet.

We Zimbabweans are left shaking our heads, wondering why Americans care more about African animals than about African people.

I wouldn't be remotely surprised if the Onion article was the source of the idea within Carson's camp. I would think refusing to let them into the US based on misguided racist beliefs would color their judgment of the US, but what do I know.
