Do you want it to be "dammit" or "damn it"?

Either is correct. I prefer "dammit" by a slim margin. But I'm also the kind of person who says "I dunno."

Don't form some halfway bastardization like "damnit" though. The normal rules of English (hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHA OH GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT) would have the N be pronounced in that case (as in "damnation" or "autumnal") which just sounds silly.

"They've got it all wrong. Freedom of speech isn't the problem, religion is!" shouts May de Castro, at a local AA (Atheists Anonymous) meeting. "If religion were outlawed, this problem would solve itself. Just send them in for medical treatment. After all, anyone who believes in some big invisible dude who can do anything is clearly nuts."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

The issue and its other choices are:

Several musicians have recently produced songs in which "Violet" sings silly and offensive things, causing outcries of horror from the Order of Violet.

1. "THIS IS BLASPHEMY!" shouts Sophie Plath, Grand High Poobah of the Order of Violet. "Our holy scriptures specifically forbid any portrayal of our prophet's most holy voice. We cannot permit people to slander and mock our prophet and insult all of us. These people are simply doing this to see if we are extremists. Death to the blasphemers!"

2. Speaking anonymously and from hiding, one of the musicians says, "It was just meant to be a joke! I never thought that they'd take it so seriously. I just wanted to give them a little ribbing like I do the other major religions of Pastafarianism and Frisbeetarianism." Renee Bronte glances over their shoulder to see if anyone is watching, "Please don't try to figure out who I am. I'm scared for my safety. The government should protect my freedom to insult whomever I want. Freedom of speech should hold nothing sacred, not even God."

3. "Freedom of speech is important, but so is freedom of religion. Surely we can strike some sort of balance?" says Kathleen Goethe, chief spokesperson for the TSOC (the Tavono Society of Compromisers). "Freedom of speech comes with a responsibility. People must avoid anything that insults another's religion, and if they aren't willing to do it themselves, the government must enforce it."

4. "His Holiness, the Grand High Poobah of Violet, has the right idea, but the wrong religion," says Natalia Zhimo, the Prelate of Primary Public Relations for the fanatical organization Tavono's Concerned Citizens for Our God. "This nation needs an official religion, and not support the Godless heathens who worship the idolotrous Violet. Appoint me as your spiritual adviser an I'll ensure that all people worship God in the correct way."

Option 4 also seems p. rude.

Did it give you a boost to your economy when you did? 


And yes, I really don't care about those either, unless I can revoke some more civil 'rights'
