"I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch!"
This past weekend I had a chance to watch the documentary Banking On Heaven, which is about a Polygamist community in our own backyard in Colorado City, Arizona. For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few years, the man pictured above is named Warren Jeffs, he is the so-called "prophet" for the FLDS (Fundamental Latter Day Saints) group. I mean, I'm no advocate of what the man is doing, but whatever he's doin, he's doin it real big. The documentary shows grown men handing their pay checks over to this man, along with their daughters because whatever pleases the prophet, pleases God. This is how the people of Colorado City are brainwashed and live their daily lives. This guy has paychecks coming in, women, and even adolescent girls. This scumbag is also into minors, which landed him in prison. Dude was arranging marriages between 40-50 year old men with 13-16 year old girls. C'mon dude. I joke about how I think he's a pimp and all, but in reality this is a true story that is far from fiction and is real to life. He takes hard earned money from the hands of men, their daughters, and also if a young man/boy challenges his authority, he exiles that person from the city to fend for their own with no resources. Better to exile males to better the ratio of girls to men.
The pictures above are typical polygamist families. It is also said in the documentary that it is common for a man to have over 30 offspring. Women and girls that can be stay pregnant in this city. Some children don't even know who their father is because there's so many damn kids to keep count of! Don't get it twisted, this is a incest bonanza. Whenever their offspring is born with a birth defect, then that baby is killed. When they feel as though the incest is becoming too much of a problem, they trade women with other men like boys trade baseball cards. This isn't just in Colorado City anymore either, Warren Jeffs is trying to expand. Here is the latest if you all are interested. If you get the time, read into this horrific tale. Feelin real emo cause its Monday. Feel free to discuss.
On a brighter note, the Spartans from Michigan State know how to throw a party.

I would definitely trust Jeffs with some checks. Dude just looks like an honest guy.
I haven't seen someone that creepy since the summer of '88 at Sunsplash.
And really though, your spelling game is super sloppy. "Talk to'em"? It's "Talk to 'em." It's short for Talk to Them.
You can't get your Pyrex stirs on being this sloppy mijo.
