I wanna live in Rhea County TN.

Sheesh.

I just went up to a gay coworker and said. Lets get your beemer and drive down to Rhea Co., go to the churches and ask them to marry us.
He almost fell over he was laughing so hard.

Dont wanna know any thing about that town. Something about religous monkeys who use scope

Sure you don't mean Rhea County, though? :)

PS that wasn't meant as an insult. Sorry.

3. s'cool....
I just can't believe the ignorance the council displays.

It was a funny thing to say to your co worker. I almost sprayed the monitor w/ Diet Rite when I read it . . .

4. Right back to 1925.
Where is Rhea anyway. On top of some mountain in the middle of the woods.

I will do one even better. Get Mrs. Demman, gay coworker, my lesbian sister and the wife plus the baby. And we will drive down and pretend to be an alternative style family.

Sorry that kind of ignorance gets me pretty hot under the collar

8. It's just a little southwest of Mrs. Venation's home county of
Anderson, Tennessee. It's not backwoods or even backwards in TN; it's merely that folks have different opinions there. Mrs. V.'s parents are Southern Baptists who accept her as she is, even as they're conservative in most things (they're Democrats).

And you're not the only one who gets hot under the collar about this ignorance.

draw your own conclusions

7. My Own Conclusions
There is a lot of "grade inflation" in Rhea County, TN schools.

Bachelor Degrees? That number may be from the guys who said they weren't married or didn't have a girlfriend.

9. I hate to say this, but maybe they just need a few thousand
people with different opinions to move there and take the county over!! Elect a new ruling elite and undo everything.
