What common American phrase do you hate the most?

Mine is "It just happened." Tornadoes and hurricanes just happen. But when you choose bad behavior which results in something negative, such as:

You deliberately continue contact with a woman you know you're sexually attracted to; and you end up in an affair.

You drive to a bar, have too much to drink, and don't make any arrangements to get home safely; and you get picked up for DUI.

You have unprotected sex outside of marriage; and you end up pregnant and alone.

THESE THINGS DID NOT JUST HAPPEN! Your behavior caused them. I just wish people would take responsibility for their own behavior and think!

    There are a comprehensive of six short references contained in the Bible, 2 contained in the former testomony and four contained in the recent, which convey objection to gay sex. both the former testomony ones ensue in a unmarried 3-financial ruin span of Leviticus; even as the Westboro Baptist Church claims many more effective, the others are regularly linked with prostitution or gang rape, to which the Bible gadgets far more effective strongly no matter if that's similar-sex or not. Of the recent testomony ones, one appears deliberately mistranslated: the words used at the prompt are not between the wealth of Koine Greek words which % out homosexuality. yet another explicitly misinterprets between the former testomony circumstances of gang rape (and contradicts an previous Testaments prophet in doing so). even as the Catholic Catechism has the same opinion with this interpretation, no one's ever defined which of two achieveable conclusions they help: both they're holding gang rape is okay if that's opposite-sex, or they're holding that each individual homosexuals are gang rapists. I evaluate both interpretation insupportable. That leaves 2 genuine New testomony references (considered one of it quite is the basically Biblical objection to Lesbianism). each of the genuine circumstances are further difficulty to the statement that they deal with similar-sex kin only rather technique of sexual indulgence even as individuals of the option sex are unavailable. it quite is, they deal with them the way they deal with prostitution. this isn't the know-how of gay orientation we've in the present day. i love God. i do not hate gay human beings, nor do i imagine God hates gay human beings. i'm wondering if that connection with the "bum bum club" will mean gay human beings have a difficulty with you.

    these may not be "common american phrases", but the three that drive me nuts (and the person who says them):

    "i didn't mean for it to happen" - from my cheating wife

    "i didn't know" - from my 14 year old daughter

    "i forgot" - also from my 14 year old daughter

    i agree. sex outside of marriage and adultery don't just "happen". People just don't like to feel guilty so they rationalize everything instead of asking for forgiveness and bettering themselves.

    I'm sure this isn't strictly American but I hate when I hear "It's in God's hands".
