When was Texas taken over by Puritans? I know some Texans and I would assume rejecting the sight of a titty would upset them. They are usually the first ones to start yelling "Show us your tits!", or any other offensive thing.

Texas and Florida. Neck and neck for "states that should have been aborted".

They say it's the breast, but they're likely not fans of the motto either.

For those who are curious, Virginia’s motto is Sic semper tyrannis, which is a Latin phrase meaning "that’s my fuckin’ tit, bitch"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic_semper_tyrannis

Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase meaning "thus always to tyrants". In contemporary parlance, it means tyrannical leaders will inevitably be overthrown. The phrase also suggests that bad but justified outcomes should, or eventually will, befall tyrants.

Yeah, pretty much

Or the notion of a woman beating a man

For those of you unfamiliar with the flag and seal of the state of Virginia, here’s the Wikipedia page, including the image.

Should be tagged NSFW (/s, just in case it wasn't clear)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

History lessons must be really bad for you ( Well for people living there) if they change things like that.

The woman on the flag is supposed to be Virtus, which symbolises a bunch of masculine traits. But they wouldn't know that because the cunts behind the ban likely can't read.

In Texas it's mandatory to blindfold breast-feeding babies.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

Texas or not, the internet is full of stories where some 'murican gets outraged about a woman breastfeeding her baby in public. So weird. They definitely shouldn't come here!

Some even go so far to say that breastfeeding babies per se is somehow wrong.

Wait, this is really the flag? Now I’m imagining all sorts of femdom fanfic online

Then again we can certainly do worse, and have, than porn portraying liberty and justice dominating oppression

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Anyway, here's a censored version:

Stop dropping your phone on the fucking train

Every morning I clock into work, and 12 hours later I clock out covered in jizz because someone dropped their phone while looking at porn and turned the whole trip into a goddamn gangbang. I can’t take it anymore. I’m literally knee deep in spunk by the end of the day, because all you motherfuckers are apparently lubing up your hands and can’t get a grip. We’ve all had to start wearing blindfolds when we exit the front so we don’t accidentally get a peak and start furiously cranking our cocks to “thugposts” or “femboys” or whatever the newest horny fad is.

For the love of god, stop dropping your phone on the fucking train.

by the way heres an extra censored version

Softest fucking people on the planet.

They had 2 revolutioary wars.

Both were because they were part of a country that wasn't pro-slavery enough.

That motto, the lesson tells students, means "Thus Always to Tyrants."

Maybe it's not just about the nipple.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

That translates to 'sic semper tyrannus'

The quote attributed to Brutus when stabbing Caesar, and what John Wilkes booth said after shooting Lincoln.
