10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

October 16th, 2005

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) 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.

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) 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.

(one of the saddest parts about our society is that…these arguements, before the humourous common sense, are the real reasons why people can’t accept gay marriages.)

(and they always go “straight”(haha) to No.10…which, funnily enough to me, is probably the last thing a gay couple is thinking about…while the “straight people,” who are arguing against gay marriage, seem to be all over it. how interesting.)

Please feel free repost this on blogs/forums if you belive gay marriages should be legal!

Got this from a friend, but I think it is great, so I’m posting it here.

Lost Econ Test was found

October 12th, 2005

It was lost or won’t scantron or something, all I know is my teacher knew there was a problem and just posted the scores of people who were missing their grades, and mine was there. I got a B which is decent, not amazing but I’m still pretty happy with it.

Not Much Exciting Going On.

October 11th, 2005

I just noticed I haven’t blogged in a couple of days except for random quizes. This is mainly because there isn’t that much that is interesting going on right now. Dan’s cyst is getting better, he needs to call and make an appointment with the surgeon to get it removed.

My Macro Economics test went fairly well I hope, there were a couple of questions I was iffy about, but I felt pretty good about it. My Micro Economics teacher lost my test, or some random something happened to it, he knows about it however, so it won’t affect my grade other then the fact it may not count and my other tests and such will be weighed higher.

Last night we had a nice 4 hour demonstration from a door to door vacuum saleswoman, that was kind of neat. Now all I need to meet is a door to door encyclopedia salesperson and I will be able to call my life complete ;) . We actually went and bought the vacuum, maybe we’ll use it too, it is nice and has a lot of neat features and the house could use some vacuuming, we need to get it reorganized now that the kitchen is almost done.

The inspector never came last week, hopefully he’ll show on Thursday since I am home for Yom Kipper, yay fasting or something. If he does come, then the contractor is planning on arriving that afternoon to start patching the holes in the walls. And he’ll only have to come back one more time post that yay!

I get my tooth filled today, nope not a cavity, I apparently broke a tooth and it needs to be filled so it doesn’t become a cavity. Fortunately it wasn’t a horrible break and they can fill it just like a cavity rather then doing scarier dentist things to it. Novicaine is fun I’m sure my face is going to be numb all afternoon and evening.

Nothing much else is up, should be a fairly quiet week. Though I’ll probably post about it anyways ;) .

Happy Birthday Siblings

October 7th, 2005

This is a general Happy Birthday post to my 3 sibs. My sister Laura’s Birthday was Monday, hope you had a good one. And the twins Nancy and Noah’s birthdays are today. Hope you have fun in Sweeden with Tim, Nan. And hope you have fun with whatever you are doing tonight Noah.

Anyways Happy Birthday all three of you.

More ramblings

October 5th, 2005

Dan has a Pilonidal Cyst which is kind of icky. He has to let it drain out today and go back to the doctor tomorrow for her to look at it and decide if he is going to need major surgery because of it. Or just minor surgery to remove the cyst. We’re kind of hoping on the minor surgery obviously.

The kitchen is almost complete, they came out today and finished up most everything. The scribing is up above the upper cabnets, and everything looks good. The inspector was suppose to arrive today but it is now 4pm and he isn’t here. So doubt he is actually making it today. There are like 4 things left for the contractors to do, they need to patch up the walls after the inspector arrives, calk above the scribing and well actually I think that is everything. Everything else is done yay!

We’ll have to paint the guest bedroom when they are done with the wall stuff and the back room as well. Plus we’ll have to touch up the painting in the kitchen. That leaves us with not to much left to do however, which is nice.

That is about it for the day I think. I have two tests on Monday which means this weekend is going to be major study time, but I don’t really have anything due for the rest of the week which is nice. Overall pretty quiet day.

What color is your blog?

October 5th, 2005

Your Blog Should Be Purple


You’re an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything.
You tend to set blogging trends, and you’re the most likely to write your own meme or survey.
You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you – not what anyone else has to say.
What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

Hey I like purple it is one of my favorite colors so I’m quite happy with the results.

Oh and I just have to say, well doh my blog is about me, who else would it be about it is my blog. Silly quiz.

New Glasses and other ramblings for a deranged mind!

October 5th, 2005

I now have new glasses which is nice. They are from 9 west, but I can’t find a picture of the frame I got anywhere. They are cool and retro, which kheldon says means nerdy, but what does he know. Anyways I like them and the lenses are progressive which means they work like sunglasses outside and regular glasses inside yay! It took a few hours to get use to them because my astigmatism changed which meant when I got them it felt like my eye was being pulled all out of place. Atty doesn’t like them either, but they are mine so it doesn’t really matter as long as I like them and I do.

It looks like if there is money in the budget I’ll get the job working part time for Atty which will be nice, I mean it is going to be mostly mindless tasks, but it will be nice money for mindless tasks, and I’ll get to see all the “interesting” ideas for stopping hurricanes, yay giant helicopter fans!

Otherwise not too much going on, didn’t go to class today thanks to Rosh Hashana, jewish holidays are nice, now all I need to do is find a temple so I can actually go to services on them.

K is getting his hair cut tomorrow (well today I guess since it is after midnight) because he is scragly, and has a mohawk I like to play with, so it is time to get him trimmed.

Otherwise besides for the fact that Atty can’t really sit, walk, stand or do much without being in pain from his back, there isn’t much else going on here. The kitchen is really pretty.

And tonights note, don’t put tupperware in the oven. This has been a public service announcement. (and if you want to know how I know this read the kitchen blog)

Grocery Game

October 4th, 2005

Well we tried the $1 one month trial of the Grocery Game, or at least the first 3 weeks or so of it, and have decided to cancel it. We just don’t buy the stuff on the list enough for it to be useful. We are pretty good about figuring out sales on our own, and we don’t buy many processed food and we buy almost no junk food (excluding icecream, mmm icecream). So it just wasn’t working for us or worth our money to continue with it.

We did learn, stockpile non-perishables while the price is cheap, and that the first sale might not always be the best sale so keep an eye out on sales just in case. Other then that though it was really a bust, oh well.
