I added an extra news story when I heard y’all had a bonus second to use today…

  1. social experiment
    If it wasn’t meant to be one it sure became one. There’s a guy on our office Facebook news feed that won’t shut up about it. Going on and on. Oh my god people! If you believe that homosexuals should be allowed to marry then great but you don’t have to make sure everyone else on earth knows that you care! I don’t care what people believe, all that matters is what I believe. And I believe that if you want to get married, then get married, I don’t care what your sexual preference is! Just be happy good people dammit!

      I’m not one who feels moved to indulge in the ‘support a cause’ thing, but I certainly don’t begrudge others doing it. Any individual in a community who has been denied a basic right through bigotry would no doubt need to ‘vent’ a certain degree, and even those who are straight but have supported gay marriage would also feel elation at this point after many battles against politicians bowing before religious pressure and general bigotry in the community and media.

      Let’s just say I’ll happily take rainbow-tinted profile pics over the hate that regularly gets spewed in Facebook and Youtube comment threads…

        I think most of that, sadly, is trolling and trying to get a rise out of people. That doesn’t make it any better or less bigoted. People like to hide behind their “jk” (just kidding) like it’s no big deal, especially the younger generation. I’m not against the rainbow overlay for the profile pics or celebrating this momentous occasion. The guy I’m talking about is trying to get a rise out of the group we belong to on Facebook (we are a group of local artists – most of which Democratic), and that’s what’s bothering me. People who are trying to stir the pot! If you read his comments they could easily be misconstrued as bigoted or even radical. Some pints he’s kind of rubbing it in the face of all the bigots, which is causing the bigots to fire back in this endless shit fit fight! I’m tired of having to hide them on my feed 😛

        I have many homosexual friends and I am very happy for all those who wished to get married now can. It’s about damn time.

    1. What are the odds that
      What are the odds that DARPA’s “mix and match” of DNA in organisms designed to terraform Mars will go through the same lame and unscientific vetting that Monsanto applied to GMO’s for human consumption with the result that many GMO’s cause illness in animals and humans? Can you see it? Mars finally becomes habitable by “something” but not by humans.
