Just as I finished my last posting, I found this article.
This is pretty funny because I have ALWAYS wondered how homosexuality, if hereditary, can survive.
Of course I am speaking strictly from an evolutionary scientist point of view.
Basically they are saying that if you are gay, you’re sister is a baby making machine!! Lolz…
Being a devout ( church going ) Catholic, I am perplexed by why so many of us Christians are against the idea of gay marriage. What’s wrong with gay people getting married?
1) It ruins the sanctity of marriage - The sanctity of marriage? Does that even exist? How about we protect the sanctity of marriage by reducing our divorce rates first. Or better yet, protect the sanctity of marriage by being good, financially responsible, and loving parents. Obviously as a country we are not doing that with all the foreclosures, childhood obesity, and school shooting we are living with everyday. Sorry, but gay people can’t ruin the sanctity of marriage anymore than straight people already have.
2) Marriage is a commitment between a man and woman - I think being a man, or a woman is about a lot more than having a penis or breasts. It’s about committing to the responsibility of either bringing home the bacon, nurturing the family, or both. In today’s society, there are numerous examples of role reversals in nuclear-type families. The “man” stays at home to take care of the kids, and the “woman” goes to work. So in practice, the definition of “man” and “woman” has been greatly redefined. Should we stop people from living happy, fulfilling lives because we are unable to update our vocabulary?
3) It’s a sin - Not washing your hands before dinner is a sin. Please……….. “Let those who have NOT sinned throw the first rock”. Jesus taught us to show love and compassion to a prostitute, a tax collector, and a thief. Gay people are not prostitutes, tax collectors, or thieves, yet so many of us are ready to stone them to death. I don’t know what version of the bible you are reading, but God has always taught me to have compassion for everyone.
To sum it all up, the simple fact is, this is a matter of Church and State. Religion, of any flavor, should not enforce rules and edicts on people of the State.
If your religion, like mine, doesn’t favor homosexuality, then you have the responsibility to your faith of choosing the right path. But don’t go around forcing your fellow neighbors to adopt your beliefs. If you want to live in a society where religion tells the government what to do, move to the Middle East.
Jesus said, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.” Marriage, outside of a church, is a property of the State. If gay people want to force you to let them marry inside your Church, then you can get mad all you want, but that’s not what they are asking. Most gay people are just asking for some respect.
Today I ran across a website that uses a pretty neat trick to hide its images. It has an IMG with an SRC that links to a blank image, but the IMG has a ID tag that calls on the actual image. So whenever you try to “view image”, you always get the blank image.
This kinda trick is very common on the web, but this one was neat in that even “view image information” in Firefox Web Developer Toolbar couldn’t find the image.
But regardless, with a little snooping around, I found the image and downloaded their logo through their CSS, like I wanted.
So basically I am writing to say that attempts to hide images on your websites are stupid. In order for people to see your images, it has to download to their computer, so why bother hiding your images at all??
Even if you flash up your image, I can still get a flash decompiler and rip your images from there. So my message is: don’t waste your time… Anyone who really wanted to steal your images will take it. Don’t be an image hog…
How the hell do you call something a festival, if you only got ONE booth selling crawfish?
What’s worst, the crawfish they sold there sucked ass. It was flavorless, expensive, and not fresh.
I am not one of those once-in-a-while crawfish people. I love crawfish. I eat crawfish almost once a week, ever since they opened one up in Sacramento. So I was extremely disappointed at how lame the Isleton Crawfish Festival was.
Let me repeat that again… The Isleton crawfish festival SUCKS!!! DO NOT GO TO IT.
Maybe Sacramento should have a Crawfish festival? I would love to try different styles of crawfish, or just have an all out blast of unless crawfish eating.
YUM!
The biggest mystery about the Santa Cruz Mystery Spot is why there were so many Indians there…
Indians from India, not Native Americans…
Seriously, the entire place was PACKED with Indians… I have never seen so many Indians in one place before.
Is there like a special buzz going around the Indian community about the Mystery Spot or something???
I got nothing against Indian people. In fact, I like Indian people, they are so multifaceted. They do all sorts of things, and they are smart. But it’s a mystery to me why they all wanted to congregate at the Mystery Spot.
Does anyone ever feel that what they write in their blog is too controversial and might get them in trouble?
I do… That’s why I don’t write in my blog that much anymore.
Almost every time I sit down to write something, I end up deleting it because I get scared that what I just wrote might cause undue retaliation.
On a slightly related note, I have been contacted twice by reporters from popular news outlets regarding my blog postings. I guess this means some of the things I write do get good traffic?
In fact, my post about how much I hated “sex in the city” got a ton of traffic leading up to the movie release. Until Google bumped me off the top… why???
Anyways, here are things that I like to write about, but don’t because I am scared:
1) The Bush Administration
2) The Chinese government
3) The Vietnamese government and just Vietnam in general
4) Anything against popular social networking sites such as Digg.
To be honest though, sometimes I don’t write because after reading what I write, I realize how uninformed and stupid I sound. This is the greatest gift blogging has given me. It is like a self-analysis session that helps me rationalize my thoughts and actions. Perhaps if everyone blogged, the world would be a better place??
Honestly, if people sat down and wrote out the reasons why they act the way they do, maybe they’ll realize how unrational and retarded they are…
This is a problem I have been running into a lot lately since I began using tables for tabular data.
Let’s say you have a table of data, but each ROW of data is actually editable ( a form ), like an excel spreadsheet.
Basic skeleton:
<table> <form> <tr> <td><input></td> <td><input></td> <tr> </form> <form> <tr> <td><input></td> <td><input></td> <tr> </form> </table>
This may look harmless, and to me, almost correct, because this IS technically tabular type data. But the problem is, if you try to put anything besides ROWS and COLS inside of a TABLE, you will get all sorts of weird errors. This is especially true if you try manipulating the tables using javascript. AJAX is almost out of the question…
I could try to mimic a “table” like layout using CSS, but that just seems kinda silly. Besides, tables have unique characteristics that make them better for storing tabular data anyways.
Here’s to hoping for a better solution…
