OK, Just One Thing

I won't be able to follow up, so I will direct you to AMERICAblog...

The shortest version of this story ever: After having meetings with some annoying church dude who threatened to have his flock boycott them, Microsoft has gone from supporting gay rights to what they call a "neutral" stand. As if Microsoft doesn't have enough people pissed off at it for their crappy software...

John Aravosis is all over the story like white on rice.

Man, I just don't get it. What is it about homosexuality that sets people off? I get so f'in pissed when I hear about cases like this. Where do these religious zealots get the cojones? Obviously, there are quite enough of them to influence such policies. I am surely misquoting stats, but I believe about 10% of any given population (human, or otherwise) is homosexual (I can't be bothered with checking my facts, I'm never wrong anyway). I guess majority rules. Especially when determining the amount of intolerance a society dishes out. Can anyone tell me why I should just let it go and treat gays as inferiors?

Fuck the majority rule. How about a little humanitarian support and compassion? Like in Spain where they're about to approve pro gay marriage legislation. I'll refer you to my post about the same.

It's very simple. We're humans. And since the day when Zug cracked Thug over the head with a mastodon leg bone for having different colored nostril hair, we have always hated what is different from us. Always will, most likely. Which is why this planet needs a good old-fashioned alien invasion. Then we'll have someone we can all hate together.

Strider - I smite you for your horrific grammar & spelling. There, feel better?

KidB - Alien invasion, huh? Have you been dipping into Moxie's happy pills? Humor aside, you make a good point.

long long ago... they came here...and tried a simple cross breeding...

ALIEN + MONKEY = HUMAN

one day they will come back to see what happened with their experiment

hopefully they are nice.

...or maybe our planet will be scheduled for demolition in order to make way for the new hyperspace express route. (who will get the reference first?)

And then back again:

HUMAN + MONKEY = George Bush
