In The News
- Supreme Court rules that it is legal to be gay. Gay people across the country rejoice. Not like sodomy laws ever prevented anyone from being gay, but hey, if you're gonna be gay, I bet it's kind of nice to be legally gay instead of illegally gay. Some straight people are pissed. I think the term "sodomy" was named after the city of Sodom in the Bible, which was destroyed by God because they were too sinful. Glad to see our nation desires to be more like them.
- Government launches "Do Not Call" list for people to avoid telemarketers. It's about freaking time they did something. Although, I think everyone should start out defaulted to the "Do Not Call" list, and people who actually want telemarketers to call them should have to sign up for a "I'm A Dumbass Loser" list.
- A porch collapses in Lincoln Park, killing a lot of partiers in their early 20s. Hey, I'm in my early 20s, and I'm not a "partier" but I've been at parties in Lincoln Park. Scary thought.
- Miami and Virginia Tech leave Big East, join ACC. More sign of declining loyalty in sports. But to me, it's a big "who really cares" story in the news.
- Palestinians propose a truce with Israel. Sounds like a good thing, but I think they are just running out of bombs and trying to regroup, after all their leaders got assassinated by missile strikes. I say screw all these "militant" Muslim jihad groups, why negotiate with people who blow themselves up? If they don't want to live, their death can be arranged by the civilized world - and innocent lives they would've killed could be spared.
A question to ponder. "Extreme" Buddhists go off to a mountain somewhere, live by themselves, meditate all day, and give up sex. "Extreme" Hindus just avoid eating cows and stuff. "Extreme" Christians dedicate their lives to missions, serving the hungry in Africa or speading the gospel in China. And I don't know any Shinto-ists, but I'd imagine since they love nature so much, "Extreme" Shinto-ists would just hump trees or something. Why is it that "Extreme" Muslims are always violent? Go anywhere in the world - Israel/Palestine, Bosnia, Pakistan/India, Russia/Chechnya, on and on. It's pretty clear that they don't get along with others. In kindergarten, the kids that didn't "play well with others" would be sent home. Well, these guys not only don't play well with others, they suicide bomb others, hijack others planes and take others hostage. Then they brainwash their kids into hate-filled killing machines so a new generation of extremists will take their place. Well, instead of punishing these people, the rest of the world just offers them more land. A policy of appeasement. Awesome...
- US soldiers continue to be attacked by local Iraqis because the people are pissed that the troops haven't done enough to help the Iraqi people. Well, other than risking their lives to take out their brutal dictator Saddam Hussein, I guess they're right, Americans are chumps. Oh, and if I ever want some American soldiers to help me, I also think it's an excellent idea to launch rocket propelled grenades at them and shoot them in the head when they're trying to be friendly. That'll make them want to help out my people for sure.
