10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Is Wrong


1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all: women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

I saw this on a facebook group, tried to find the original source, and then gave up when I came across WAY too many results.

But they're right. This needs to be printed on a t-shirt. I'm thinking white letters on black. With a snarky icon on the other side. Although I have no idea where or how I'd get these t-shirts printed... or how much it might cost. (not entirely serious, but if people express interest, and suggest t-shirt printers, I may be willing to be unlazy and arrange something.)

"ICANN HAS .TLDS?"

XD ::groan, indeed. With much laughing.::

(TLDs = Top Level Domains, like .com, .edu, .net. ICANN = Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is the organization that controls domain names. And if you're really unaware of what it's making fun of, or it's been six months and this fad has been forgotten, it's off the lolcats (wikipedia / cat macro internet... thing. See http://www.dropline.net/cats/ or http://icanhascheezburger.com/ or http://lolcats.com/.)

Rather spiffy. Although I wonder how well it balances - looks like you could quite easily fall backwards. Hm, official web says hard surfaces only. Still, if it's as convenient as it looks, it might be rather nice.

Speaking of folding bikes, I saw one parked at the Friendship Heights Metro (subway~) station friday. It was completely folded up into a small square of stuff - well, not that small. Not much longer or higher than a normal bike wheel though. Should have snapped a picture.

2. And this amused me greatly. Probably because it's late.

Haven't heard the song before, so... went and downloaded it. It's Straight Up by Paula Abdul. Not... an awesome song, but I suppose it is quite girly? Maybe? ::has no social knowledge in that area:: Rather upbeat, but dance-able to. At least when you're ABSOLUTELY sure you're alone, of course. ;) ::goes to close his bedroom door::

...And the furaffinity post reminded me of this from Better Days by Jay Naylor. =^^=

Oh buggers, Byousoku 5 Centimeter was licensed by ADV? Buggers, buggers, buggers. Why couldn't you guys wait until after it's been all released and fansubbed before licensing it? Although... It does looks like something I would have bought the DVD for anyways.

Apple Hardware Test promptly reports the error "2STF/8/3:ATA-100ata-6" with the mass storage test. Or something like that.

Or, occationally, the computer freezes on the select-boot-device screen. Or while booting.

Thankfully, I was able to boot once using my external firewire drive, run Data Rescue (God bless you guys) which recovered pretty-much everything.

The drive also refuses to format. Disk Utility reports that the SMART status is verified, but the "underlying task" throws errors.

So I'm not sure where the problem lies. Which bothers me. This is different from them annoying logic board failures.

"2.) Until that fetus springs forth, screaming, from my loins, its location within my body means that, under the concept of Bodily Domain, I, legally, can choose to remove it. Bodily Domain means that no one can touch my body without my consent, and only in ways that I consent to, because it is my body. I can kill a man who is raping me for ten minutes without my consent because he is violating my Bodily Domain, but I can't kill an non-sentient fetus which is using my uterus for nine MONTHS without my consent because it's doing the same?"

And... I lost my wallet. o.O I think it's in the CITES OnSites lab, 'cause that's where I took it out to swipe myself in today. On the bright side, not too many people have access to the lab, but on the down side, it's doubtful that anyone will actually go to the lab this weekend. Unless one of the other consultants decides to be nice and make an extra trip there to swipe me in.

Or, the other possibility is that my roommate took it and hid it, although that's rather unlikely. Still, he's been known to do stupid things given lack of sleep. >.> His denials weren't very convincing, I'm afraid, and he's moved my wallet in the past. Random immature stupidness. David, if you were lying to me, be prepared to get kicked out of the apartment for a few days. I'm not going to be happy at all.

citymgr@cityoftuttle.org [edit | whoops, wrong person, eh heh heh... ]

Yeah, there's his e-mail. Mostly because my journal is searchable by google, and I'd dearly love to poke this city manager person and see just how bad his reading comprehension skills are.

http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=127

Link via [livejournal.com profile] tytso.

Reading the story may require some technical knowledge:
Often, when you first install Apache, the server "program" that serves up webpages, there's a default test page to let you know that everything is working properly. It's usually a page that tells you that "Congrats, you have successfully installed Apache." In this case, it also included the operating system name and banner, notably, "CentOS", a free OS.

In this case, the city manager got something like this:
http://mirror.centos.org/mirrorscripts/noindex_new.html
when he tried to access "his" website. It's the default page for the CentOS Apache installation, more or less. But the city manager didn't understand this.... go read the story, you should be able to follow it now.

--
My comments on the stupidity:
a) Not "your" website. It's your city's website, I believe.
b) "...before I report it to government officials". I thought you're the city manager.. aren't you a government official?
c) The more "!" and "?" marks indicate increased stupidity on the side of the user. It's a law somewhere, look it up. XD
d) The fact that the city manager just isn't thinking or reading what's being written to him disgusts me. Granted, we all do that once in a while, but you'd think, that after three or four times, you'd re-read the words?

...so maybe it is true that them in the higher up positions like bullets and points. They can't handle sentences anymore.

"...If you will not let me help you, find someone you know who is computer
literate and has heard of Linux to look at your problem. I am trying
very, very hard to save you from great embarrassment.

You may certainly call the FBI if you want. I may call some law
enforcement agency or attorney myself if you don't stop throwing around
accusations and stop threatening me without just cause.

Please, for the love of God, either let me help you or talk to a
computer administrator who can help you with your problem..."
And he's even really, really nice. I need to try out CentOS.

And now, the beautiful line spoken only by those who really are morons, "I am computer literate! I have 22 years in computer systems engineering and operation."

Kinda like proclaiming, "I'm smart. I know everything."

:: sighs:: I would really have loved to see a report filed to the FBI. Then again, they probably won't do much anyhow...

sung to "That's from My Favorite Things"

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Weiners that wiggle and dildos that come in...
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things
Bimbos with breasts like two Rocks of Gibraltar
Priests who seduce me in front of the altar
Corsets that tie in the back with two strings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Women who yield up a plump Mount of Venus
Men who deliver a fifteen inch penis
Talk so explicit it virtually sings
These are a few of my favorite things.
When I'm horny
Needing porn, I
Have to scratch that itch....
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't need you, bitch.
