On the scale of 2g1c, to goatse, where would you rank the painfulness of this video?


Funny story: As the boss and the network guy, I have a catch-all email so any emails sent to our domain go to my inbox if they are addressed to an unavailable account. One of my mediocre employees decided to forward a link to 2G1C to another employee (on a company computer) but he mistyped the other employee's email address. So it got sent to my inbox. You should have seen the look on the poor guy's face when I explained what happened.

Canned his a**.


Awww...that's a bit harsh, isn't it??

I can't figure out why these women all sound so child-like. Is it prefered by the FLDS menfolk to have the women talk this way?

These women all seem to be "channeling" Warren Jeffs, their prophet. Their voice inflections remind me of his creepy speech where he was proclaiming Brigham Young's racist doctrine.
They seem to be trying to draw close to the spirit so their children will be returned. Follow the prophet.
The FLDS men are just dull!
A man's ethical behavior should be based on sympathy, education and social ties/needs. No religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a sorry state if he had to be restricted based on fear of punishment or hope of reward after death. - Albert Einstein

It makes them more sexually attractive to their husbands.

I think it's taken to be a visible signifier of "sweetness." You know, "Keep Sweet:" demure, shy, innocent, always smiling, eyes downcast, voice soft and "musical." And, maybe above all, childlike.

I like my women how I like my Chinese food: sweet and sour.

(just kidding, but I do like a mixture or sweetness, independance and intelligence--think Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast).

My wife just finished reading Carolyn Jessups book "Escape".

It was amazing to me how they twisted and misinterpreted/mistaught basic church doctrines to suit their own needs and desires. Jeffs was actually using the internet to "prophesy" the weather. This was a very sick and twisted group who purposely distorted Joseph Smiths teachings in an abusive fashion.

I hate to see these children taken from their mothers, but this group really does need to be broken up. All of the things peopel feared about polygamy were really going on in this case.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. - Plato

Just from the sound of it, my guess is that they are passive enough to go along with whatever the menfolk desire.
