According to Wikipedia there are between 12-14 million Jews in the world, the biggest piece of which (40% or 5-6 million) live in the United States. If the United States were to prohibit civil marriage to the Jews because they didn't follow the Christian moral code there would be a massive uproar in the world as we know it today. But if we take all this nation's non-heterosexual population, whose population following the idea of 2 in 20 would be around 30 million in the United States and 500-600 million in the world, and decide that prohibiting them from civil marriage is a good idea, far fewer would care.
Would someone please explain this to me? Is it residual from the Holocaust, because really that excuse is getting old? Non-heterosexuals have been discriminated against in very much the same way since the beginning too, even in the Holocaust. Any ideas?

RantingsofaMadManXVI:Rapidfire
It just goes to show that the human race is a complete intellectual failure that we cannot even agree to treat everyone as they want to be treated. We haven't the foresight to see that this will more than make up for itself.
What is all this about homosexuality being a choice. Sure that's an easy solution, providing we forget about all the countries that prohibit it at the penalty of death and still it remains. You can't get much harsher than that.
What's the worst thing to grab while fumbling around in the dark for a bath towel? Well, based on my experience I'd say my teenage sister's lace bra. But, hey my mom's would come in a close second.
Have you ever noticed that the things in life that we can't live without cost the most. Houses, cars, children, refrigerators, washers, dryers, you name it.
Milk prices are going up this week because of the cost of fuel. Some are also blaming the cost of corn feed for cows. With increased ethanol production, corn prices are allegedly skyrocketing. Shoot, can we tear down the wall and have Mexican workers bring corn over the boarder with them? We could even make a game show out of it. The person who gets around security first wins citizenship. For the sake of reality TV, call it The Bored Maize.
Did you know that the people on survivor actually lived in hotels after the cameras turned off.
A man is a person, not an island. Well, except for Prince Edward Island, that's both apparently.
Are there any cutthroat vocalists?
I've sworn off eating out. Last week I ordered the Peking Duck at a Chinese restaurant and was mortified by the bill.
Is anyone else mad at those "Get Zwinky" commercials? I don't even know what it is and I won't buy it.
Here's a free tip: If you want to cool off on a hot summer day, take a hot shower not a cold one. When you get out of the shower you will feel refreshed for almost an hour rather than feeling oppressive immediately.
What ever happened to the mullet? I think someone should bring it back. Paris Hilton anyone?
Look this up Mitt Romney's first name. It's Willard! I'm not joking!
Imagine if all the fetuses that were aborted actually weren't. Talk about overcrowding. Nevermind the financial implications. I wonder how heavy that drain would be on our social services. That settles it, get an abortion; it makes economical sense; it's patriotic.
Why are zoos legal? Honestly, it's just this side of San Quentin to really get me going. At least in jail you get reamed in the ass every now and then.
Why do baseball pitchers like old gloves but need new balls every couple of minutes?
I wonder how many people actually know where the name Deepthroat came from.
In the summer we make it cooler; in the winter we make it warmer. What a waste of energy. If we could all just do the opposite it would save us a hell of a lot of money.
Honestly what did the world do before plastics? It's frightening!
If I could have one wish I'd like to have football players and soccer players switch jobs for one week. It would be enlightening.
You want the surest investment that you can possibly get? Here it is... When the next big video game console comes out, buy as many as you can right up front, no matter the cost. Then sell them on EBay immediately. You'll make at least double, maybe triple your money back.
Ron Jeremy's new bestiality porn: Sex, Pugs & Lies.
Shower before you go to bed and your sheets will last twice as long.
How pointless is it to wash laundry every day? Well how many times a year do you wash your winter coat? Your comforter? Your dress work shoes? Your toothbrush? The chairs at your dinner table? The couch? Or better yet... Your mattress?
Why was the cartoon "Doug" so popular?
Why is true love so rare if everyone wants it?
Tone deaf? Bullshit! That's just an excuse for bad vocal performance.
I used to believe that everything has to have a purpose. But what could possibly be the purpose of stage fright?
What is the big deal with authority and things that make us feel good? They've been trying to stamp them out since ancient times. We even have an organization solely devoted to the stamping out of life's pleasures: The Catholic Church.
Oprah spends millions of dollars building an all-girls school in South Africa, while the boys starve.
Why do the bands that appear on late night television profoundly suck?
Does every golf ball have the same number of dimples. You'd think they'd have to coming from the same mold. Maybe now and then they add or subtract a few just to mess with our game.
If you'd like to be a successful poker player by all means watch as much poker on TV as you can. It makes you easier to beat.
Guys can walk around without shirts on why can women? I sense a conspiracy.
If there's one look that I'm certain will never be attractive, it's got to be the redneck mustache.
And one last one...
I've never seen a one-legged dog. Now I have a reason to live.

A Joke
Alright, I heard a great joke today, so I'm going to share:
Q. Why do girls like Jesus?
A. Because he's hung like this (extends arms) and promises a second coming.
Hehe.
FLYFREEFOREVER!

Rantings of a Mad Man Part XV
Here are a few things to think about. I mean it, really think about them.
1. It's commencement season yet again and I found something rather interesting regarding high school graduations. The people who get the most applause are those who, for whatever reason, were very unlikely to graduate while those who actually did a lot of work and earned their diploma. The applause is gauged on how unlikely it was for them to stand there rather than as a measure of the quality of their work. Doesn't anyone find this slightly odd?
2. The Democratic and Republican Parties first primary debates have occurred. Both were extensively and exhaustively covered on cable, but barely at all on broadcast television. What kind of message does this send America's voters? If you're poor you aren't important?
3. If Paris Hilton was anyone else, not famous that is, then should would have been seen as the drunk driving maniac that she is. But, no, because she is Paris Hilton, people have decried the sub-standard sentence she had been given, commuted as much as it has been, even so far as to petitioning Governor Schwarzenegger to pardon her! She's a danger to the public. AND, because of her public renown, a weak sentence only serves to PROMOTE DRUNK DRIVING!
4. Why can certain government officials (governors, presidents, etc.) pardon criminals? Where's the logic in allowing them to bypass the Judicial Branch altogether? Can they do the opposite and CONVICT people without trial? Well Bush can apparently, but that's besides the point. Why don't people have a bigger problem with this obstruction of justice? All it is is political meandering.
5. People are moaning about the sanctity of life a lot lately. And no, this time I'm not talking about abortion. I mean this new reality TV show where a terminally ill woman volunteers one of her kidneys to one of three people in need of a donor. The audience votes to decide who gets the organ. First, I'd like to help you realize that if everyone thinks this is in poor taste, then no one will watch the show or vote for a benefactor. However, more importantly I'd like to point out that not only is this woman helping save the life of one person, but the TV show will also give the other two (the losers) a spectacular chance of receiving a kidney in their own right just because of compassion by the viewing audience. And moreover, this show will raise awareness for the necessity of vital organ donor programs.
6. Imperialism is the reason for the spread of so-called "terrorism". Think of the regions that these terrorists come from: Africa, South-East Asia, and the Middle East. They all have it in for the U.S. and its allies (or those who remain) or the Western World in general because they feel they have somehow been wronged by the party in question. Many then choose the Muslim faith, because there is no dominant Muslim nation in the West. Therefore it is seen as an act of defiance, and just as neo-cons twist Christianity for their uses so do these groups twist Islam. The reality is that they have been wronged and they have every right to be angry. But, just as in the West (rather debatable as of late), violence should not be an acceptable outlet.
And lastly... just a question to think about...
7. Would you rather twenty acquaintances or two really good friends?
That's all for tonight. As always, FLYFREEFOREVER!
