Spud's Rambling Rants

Well! We knew this would come up sooner or later.

A rant about Gay Marriage. Or more accurately, a rant against anti-gay marriage.

That's right, I support it. Anyone have a problem. No? Good.

I'm sick of the people quoting the bible to declare gay marriage a sin. As I said, religion screws up everything. People should be allowed to do this, and that's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. Gay people can't rewire their brain. They can't alter their anatomy. It's freedom. Get it right, people.

On the other hand, a note for supporters of gay marriage: You will never get rid of the gay stereotypes and awkward society. There's always going to be that limp handshake stereotype for gay men. There will always be that uncomfortable thought about peple. It's impossible to pass gay people off as exactly the same as us. My family knows a gay couple (lesbians, and they are legaly married) that are quite normal (to a certain extent), and very nice. But you still cannot shake that feeling. That feeling of "They are different from us".

If I had a lot of readers, I'd predict a flurry of comments. But I don't. So leave a comment if you like. Both sides of the issue are welcome.

That should be my final post for the day. Ciao.

I remember what it was now!

Any way,

I don't understand religion. I'm not a religious person, and I find religion screws up everything. It's an awkward topic, and it's uncomfortable being around people who are devout.

Down my street is a family whose father works at the local baptist church. They are devoutly baptist. I think it's OK to do what you want. People can have religious freedom. However, it's disturbing to talk to and be near people whose faith demands their followers to hire "recruits". More accurately, converts. It's quite scary. They have two sons around fourteen and sixteen, and twin daughters that are about 6, who are quite loud and very spoiled. Anyway, my little sister (five years old) plays with them occasionally. More than once the twins have told my sister (as well as bluntly "informing") my mom, that she will burn in hell if she isn't a Baptist. And guess what. The twins mother encourages that. Because it's her faith. I learned that the older boy's were even worse. Apparantly, thwy repeatedly went to their grandparent's house. There, they badgered their grandparents so much about their religous life that the grandparents (who are not religious) cut off all ties with the family. Ironically, the grandmother is actually a born-again Christian now. The grandfather is not pleased, supposedly.

Conclusion: Don't mess with the man upstairs.  

In my opinion, blog.com needs to put up a archive of its entire database of users and/or blogs so people don't just go to blogs via "recently posted". That makes people just post as many times as possible. Not everyone does. But some do.

Lol, I had something I wanted to complain about, but I forgot what it was. Maybe it wasn't important after all. =P

Clean up in Aisle 3!

Ewww....maggots! :P

And here's me getting me ass kicked...

Look at all those corpses...

Ooooo, I found out a way to post photos. Yay for me!

Anywho, here's me openign Tal Rasha's chamber...

With nothing else to complain about right now (gasp!), I'm just annoyed I died about thirty-seven times today fighting Duriel in Diablo II with a sorceress. Hey, here are some screenshots! ... Damn I can only take pictures from URL. Well, maybe I can put them into my photo album. Check it out! :P

One thing I loathe: Waitresses who give you the kids menu before asking your age. I am a teenager now, but because of my relatively smallish size and young face almost every time I sat down at a booth there would be a kids menu in front of me until I was twelve. It doesn't seem very annoying know, but I think that's because it hasn't happened for years.

Has this ever happened to you? Write a comment.

You know, I don't understand how some people can stand licorice. You know, the REAL licorice. Black. Smells like aniseed. That smell makes me almost gag. How do people eat it?

Red candy licorice is ok, tho'. =P

Lately there's been a lot of talk, coming mainly from parents, about slacking film age restrictions (You know, the PG, PG-13, R, that kid of stuff). People are saying that what was considered potential R material fifteen years ago can be in an adult PG movie now.

However, people need to get their priorities straightened. I am really sick of false assumptions on adult's parts. Example 1: A long, long way back, when I saw LOTR: The Return of the King for the second time, there the oddest combination of people behind me. There was a older woman, maybe in her sixties, with a boy who couldn't have been more than eight. At the most.

Now if there's one thing I can't stand (Actually, there are a lot :P), it's annoyances in movie theatres. Especially kids.

Anyway, the entire legth of the movie, this kid was loudly questioning the plot. "Why" this, and "What" that. And he covered his eyes during the entire Shelob scene. Typical elderly lady. I can just see it now. Grandma asking Mom and Dad if she can take Bobby on a trip to Lord of the Rings. His yuppie, 30-something parents are reluctant, but don't want to spoil Bobby's treat.

Don't people realize that a rating 14-A means "Content not suitable for children under 14". Just beacause somethings popular doesnt mean it's appropriate for everyone.

Another time, when I saw Shrek 2. Not only was the average age of the kids there about 4, but I counted no less than four babies. That's the thing I hate most. If a person brings a baby into a theater, Murphy's Law says IT WILL CRY. Wail, even. The maddening thing is, the parents of these infants are so arrogant that they HAVE to stay to watch the movie. So they stay there. While their baby cries. More often then not it's because they have a preschooler there as well. Stupid yuppie parents. Yes, those parents. The ones that have about 8 kids but no child older than 7. The ones who don't know what they're up against when those kids reach their teens. Like me *evil cackle*. Still, it's insanely annoying. JUST LEAVE. I don't give a damn about your movie. I give a damn about mine. Sometimes I really want to strangle these people. >:(

Well, that's my post for today. Leave a comment if you like. I have many more posts coming =)
