      Can someone explain to me the punchline behind "Ted's a little haggard but he's thankful for the schism"? As a non native speaker I only get the literal translation.

      Jar Jar Banksy it took me a minute to figure out what he meant even as a native speaker, easiest way to say it without getting censored by UA-cam is he’s talking about someone’s cleft or split. Atleast I think that’s what he meant

      Always been fond of his improvised lines. There’s a great one in End of the Ship That’s Rising as well. It’s even on the album, although it doesn’t make any sense without the original audience reaction.

      @@shekhinah2185 When he says schism everyone laughs because they realize what he's going to rhyme it with. His next line is "you might find it hard to swallow the syllogism." Technically that line just means it's hard to accep the argument being made, but it's a double entendre for "swallowing jizz." A slang term for semen - it's a blowjob joke.

    Everyone can agree that incest is wrong, even with in-laws, step-parents, and step-siblings. So we can't just pick and choose what parts of Leviticus to ignore like trimming your beard or planting wheat and barley in the same furrow or eating pork or wearing polyester. ;)

    • @Neuromancerism
      @Neuromancerism 9 років тому +1

      "Everyone can agree that incest is wrong" Not everyone can agree on that. And while i have no particular interest, i have to ask, why is it wrong? If you use protection, its hard to make an argument against it.

    • @GarrisonHat
      @GarrisonHat 9 років тому

      Well, actually all those forms of incest outlined in Leviticus aren't as big a deal, but marrying brothers to sisters and fathers to daughters does produce super messed up children. I guess I mean the very idea of incest is creepy even to the most devout atheists.

    • @Arrakiz666
      @Arrakiz666 9 років тому +4

      What's a "devout atheist"? Atheists have no belief in a deity, they can't be devout in their lack of belief.
      And I never could understand the genetic disorders argument. It's not like relationships or marriage specifically is about children anyway. Even if it was, heteronormative couples face the same problems, down syndrome is not uncommon. There is also a lot of ways to have children without risks- adoption, surrogate motehrhood, sperm donation, just to name a few.
      I think you really should not assume that people share your contempt and your beliefs, in most cases they actually don't.
