  1. The cause of The Gay

    So I'm stuck at the law school for another 90 minutes until my next class and I'm procrastinating finishing my reading for it. So here's a little rant I promised in my last entry about the "choice vs. genetics" dichotomy as to what causes people to be gay.

    The religious nutjobs say it is entirely a choice. But not only is this entirely baseless (well, based on the mindless bigotry that being gay is "ew"), but what the smurf does that even matter? Even IF being ...
  2. It Gets Better... for Christian bigots who get called out for their harassment

    Mind-numbing article about the It Gets Better campaign, focusing on the suicides of Christians who have been "harassed by homosexual activists." It is pointedly mentioned that these incidents were not covered by the mainstream media -- obviously because of that homo agenda which permeates the entire country.

    Except... the reason the media didn't cover any of these stories is revealed at the end, where it's admitted none of these kids committed suicide. Then wtf was the ...

  3. Skepticism

    Yes, I know I posted this xkcd comic on Facebook, but it deserves to be spread around.



    This reminds me of the old truth: What do you call alternative medicine that works? "Medicine." Tim Minchin has also addressed this issue quite humorously in "Storm" and "If you open your mind too much, your brain will fall out."

    Skepticism, which is basically a critical ...
  4. It all makes sense now

    A while ago, the Insane Clown Posse released a song called "Miracles," which, as far as anyone could tell, was a tribute to being a complete smurfing retard. But now ICP is explaining the song, and also their views of religion and science. No surprise that they are staunch god-believers.

    When asked whether they anticipated the negative reaction to "Miracles":

    "No," sighs Violent J. "I figured most people would say, 'Wow, I didn't know

  5. Constitutional healthcare

    Argh, I need sleep, but I just found this so now I need to post/rant about it.

    After the Obama-supported healthcare bill (obnoxiously referred to as "Obamacare") was passed, immediately organizations across the nation filed suit. Their main complaint is one portion of the bill's is regarding the law's requirement that if you don't get healthcare, you have to pay the government. The government said this penalty/tax/whatever power is justified under the Commerce Clause. ...

  6. Moral dilemma scenario

    You’re the captain of a small yacht. A group of media elites has rented your yacht for a private party. Mid-cruise, Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann get into a heated argument. Pushing and shoving ensues. Both fall overboard. The sea around them is rough and infested with sharks. Without quick action they’ll surely drown or be eaten. You only have one life preserver.

    Hence, the conundrum.

    Do you (a) open a nice bottle of wine, or (b) slip below deck to take in a movie? ...
