Yay America! Knew you could do it. ♥ Thank you for doing the right thing. And I know there's an argument that non-Americans should just keep their noses out, but honestly, what the US does affects the rest of us in very real ways, so we do have a stake in it. So, yeah. Thanks ( Read more... )

Gay marriage: Hopefully, Obama'll legalize it for the nation so, unless California decides to be the only state not letting them get married, I don't think it should be too much of an issue. We'll see.

Check out the PalinAsPresident website again (here). It's changed. I liked it a lot better before -- it was fucking hilarious -- but it's worth a look.

If you click on the shredder -- which was manufactured in North Koreastan, naturally -- three times, it shreds a rainbow. HOW COOL IS THAT.

I hope he will too - although it won't be for a while, given that he still has to win over a lot of people, and most people consider things like the economy more important. I can see it happening in a couple of years, though.

I ♥ Palin as President. The shredder is hilarious. MAVRICK!

I hate it so much when people consider the economy -- aka money -- more important than people, their rights... and also the environment and health care and education and art and war (or lack thereof, hopefully), and surely other things I forgot to mention.

Also, there was a discussion on the Intarwebz in which people were saying how if we legalize gay marriage, we should legalize incestuous marriage as well. Although I'm definitely for the former and against the latter -- because the former hurts no one while incest hurts the kids as they might be born with disabilities -- it was still an interesting point.

I don't get that argument at all. Truth is there's no logical, rational reason to deny gay people rights - all those "if we let gays marry then people will start marrying their kitchen tables" arguments are just nonsense. >:C Sorry, soapboxing again. Argh! I just get annoyed with it, you know?

You've been palinized.

And I agree. I don't even know if there are some people who want to have incest legalized hard enough to try to make it happen. It's very different for gay marriage, of course. Which makes this whole situation utterly ridiculous.
