Mississippi is the sphincter of America. One should not be surprised when crap comes out of it.

Mississippi is why there needs to be better legislation against discrimination at the federal level, and the funds to enforce it.

Unenforceable with any amount of money. There are active chapters of the KKK in MS. Only thing that will change that place is generations of racists dying off and not having any children.

Eli Fennell Exactly. This should be a non issue because the couple should go to another church or a courthouse. Racist churches would die out if people would stop going to them.

Unfortunately Jonathan Moulton, you're almost certainly right.  Or maybe a large migration of non (or at least less) racists that can educate and outvote the racists, which also is exceedingly improbable.

It was all fun and games when we were bashing the gays, but I didn't think they would ever exclude me!
This feels awful!!!!

Emily Evans Human beings are predictable as the tides. It's not terribly hard to know what makes them tick.  Getting anyone to move to MS is definitely a big undertaking. First off it is full of racists. Secondly It is hot as the surface of the sun. Thirdly it is competing for highest obesity rate, lowest literacy, highest murder rate, lowest broadband internet penetration, highest postpartum infant and child below 12 mortality rate, and highest corruption of government officials. The only people who live there do so because they can't leave, due to poverty or apathy, or because for some insane reason they like it there. Oh also did I mention they have chiggers, around 4 or 5 types of deadly poisonous snake, and nothing but flat swamp for most of their terrain.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
