Life
Optimism, Pessimism, and the ever forgotten Realism
Those who have followed my ramblings over the years know that I am not a fan of either/or, black/white type of thinking. I believe that one of the great things about life is the shades of grey which makes up the bulk of the human experience. It seems to be a natural process [...]
Sports for Short Attentions
Between yesterday and today, every team in the NHL played. While my favorite team, The Anaheim Ducks, are not doing so well, I cannot complain too much because hockey is hockey. I was never a “sports” person and I think that affects how I watch hockey. I love to watch any game, [...]
If you really want to be good..
…just be good?
Even though I’ve studied it quite a bit, I have never understood why people argue that morals cannot be exclusive from a god / religion / whatever. The same-old “atheists have no morals” rhetoric.
Perhaps it is because those who express these feelings cannot control themselves?
I have to admit that the idea of [...]
Store Owners Burn Books In Protest
I am going to file this under “What the hell?”
http://www.kctv5.com/news/14034556/detail.html
A small bookstore in Kansas City burned thousands of books. The primary reason for this seems to be that they simply have too many books and people will not take them. However, the owner has been quoted as saying the wants to talk about [...]
A refresher on labels
This may be a repeat, but I want to rant a little about labels in general. I hinted at some thoughts yesterday, but it’s been a while since I’ve talked about it, so perhaps it is time for a refresher.
I hate labels. I hate stereotypes. I had anything that predispositions a person [...]
Marriage? What Marriage?
I’ve written a couple of times in the past about marriage in general and about gay marriage. I’m going to revisit this subject. Please give some feedback on this as I’m not here to crusade for or against… just a moral crusade for thought.
I want to remind everyone of something very important about our heated [...]
Valentine’s Day
And no, you jackass, I do not mean I am convinced they do not exist.
I mean, I do not think you need a day to make something special which SHOULD be special all the time. Celebration is one thing, but so many people take the spirit of the “holidays” (whichever one it may be) [...]
You can’t argue with that…
I really believe that when people become stagnant and rigid in their thoughts and beliefs, one of the best ways to open an eye is to be controversal and/or strong in your approach.
Ayn Rand comes to mind when I think about this. Her writing has changed a LOT of people, myself included, and her [...]
If it bleeds for TWO MINUTES..
Another response piece. I am just tired of the taboo and unrealistic understanding of menstruation.
So, in my normal course of staying up to date with news, politics, technology, and the like, I read many different portal and such sites. I often, depending on the site and subject read the comments by users.
On this particular [...]
I’m drawin’ the line, yo!
Dear Kelly,
As a dedicated reader of “Fark” (among many other news portals) I am actually pretty surprised to see I missed your original article, or you may have had one more email last time.
However, I am not writing to discuss the “tough act to repeat” piece. Rather, I’d like to draw a couple [...]
