Blood is thicker than water

Original quote: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb"
Original meaning: Today it means basically ,"family over everything and everyone". Originally it meant the opposite "the bond you have with true friends is stronger than any family relation.
Original: I will have a stronger bond with the men and women I served with at war than I could have with any family member . The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Today: blah blah family is all we have. Ya know blood is thicker than water.

Paint Thinner

Really cheap hootch usually sold in enormous glass or plastic jugs. Because of it's high alcohol content and bad taste it could be compared to paint thinner.
Damn, I only have 10 bucks. It'll be enough for some paint thinner though.

child: will i ever be able to walk?

tinkerbell: yes! yes! dreams CAN come true.

Black and white thinkers

Conservatives. They tend to think largely in terms of absolutes. Now don't get me wrong, absolute values are important - by no means do I support moral relativism - but it's necessary to recognize the many shades of grey involved in individual cases too. That is, after all, what situational ethics is all about.
I suspect that many of the conservatives I've met don't recognize these gray areas largely because of their absolutist religious upbringing.

A few scenarios:
A nine year old girl, tragically, is raped and impregnated by her stepfather. What to do? According to the religious absolutist, abortion is, under all circumstances, 100% wrong. Unless the birth is life-threatening, she can't abort.

Moderate: I don't normally support abortion, but here it's necessary.
Liberal: I think abortion is a right that belongs to the mother. I would support her right to choose if this girl was nine or twenty nine, raped or non-raped. (although i would personally disapprove of it in the latter).
Conservative: Fucking baby killers! It's an innocent fucking BABY we're talking about!
(as opposed to a non-sentient cluster of cells, lacking a nervous system and the ability to feel pain)

I had a much better example but the stupid character limit fucked me over.

See my future definition, Conservative Black and White Thinking Disorder for that one.
I blame religion for turning so many conservatives into black and white thinkers.

And this is why I dislike religion - it so often stops people from thinking. If people were encouraged to think in terms of individual cases as opposed to coming to each and every unique situation with a preconceived bias (abortion is MURDER!)...well, I don't know. We might have a better world. Just maybe.
