Heck yeah, this contest should be fun! I did try to get started on some stuff we discussed in PM but I think we'll wait a couple days before we officially do it, I've gotta get some last minute tasks done.
I was reading the news, started reading the comments and... just... people piss me off sometimes man, I swear! The intelligent people make up 1% of the conversation, but it is always a crowd of delusional monkeys that run things and... its almost like my computer screen is covered in poop when I read some of the crap they say.
I click on a story about CPS has 13,000 children and are in desperate need of foster parents.... no comments. Nobody cares? Hey, whatever...
I click on a story about a gay rights protest at Chick-Fil-A and it's a shit-storm of arguments between a bunch of bible-thumpers who supposedly know God's opinion because it is in a book authored by mortal men who supposedly talked to God (not to mention re-wrote by a king because he didn't like the original version) and the common mortals who actually use some of their brain power to form an intelligent argument.
I have my own opinions on gay people; most of them are alright people, there are a few I can't stand, then there are the ones that make me absolutely uncomfortable. Does it really affect my life much? Nah, not really. Do I think they should be allowed to marry? Sure, go for it! Do I think they really have control of who they like and should live in delusion of their attraction and be with the opposite sex because of popular opinion? Hell nah! As long as they're not attracted to our children, they should be accepted into our society and allowed to marry.
...But that's just my opinion.
