Damn. Nobody answered my question. Oh well.
I think that George Carlin said it best when he said that we coddle kids too much, and there's too much protection for stupid kids nowadays.
You know, not to sound like a Nazi or anything, but all this protection for everybody and equality is driving us backwards as a society. You ever notice that the smart people who breed have two kids, when they want to, work hard, and put them through college to make them more or less productive citizens. The stupid people seem to breed in ridiculously large families, live on welfare (not that that's always a bad thing, been there, done it, and sometimes, it is unavoidable)and set an example for thier kids to do the same thing. If this continues, aren't we going to be overpopulated (even more so) with stupid people, all because they have all this protection?
Not that I want to line them up and shoot them. Just thinking out loud, making observations.

You know, after going over the last few pages of Post-erity, I see that Shrike and JMHX had some sort of ownage contest, am I correct? Did anybody ever see when I did it? Like on Feb. 26th?
Do I get any ownage credit? Of course not.

Ahh-
Very, very true. It's when you and your brother wait behind the bakery at 6:00 to steal the bag of day-old donuts that are being thrown out do you realize how shitty it can be.
Especially if the bakery owner calls the cops on you for loitering and tresspassing (It's a small town, that Rio Vista, folks. They got nothing better to do).
Or when you're elbow-deep in human waste cleaning god knows what from a sewer pipe for minimum wage because you have nowhere else to go besides your shitty, overpriced, roach-infested apartment, and goddammit, the rent has to be paid, or it's back to dodging knife-fights while trying to sleep in the parking lot for you (Boy, I sure do miss living in San Jose!).
Being homeless isn't always a parade, certainly, and people who always assume it is need to be shot, and have their places taken by the good people on the bottom rung of the latter.
However-
As I said before, there are plenty of people who prefer the life of not working and taking handouts and welfare who spit on all of the lower class' reputations, and they are the cause of such animosity to the homeless.
Two words: Social Capitalism. Even the distribution of wealth. Not everyone is into labor or has a desire for money. Some people's skills are not rewarded by society (such as artists, writers, political activists, etc.) these people are no less deserving of life, and neither are their families. To thrive as a society, we should specialize with those who have strengths in areas helping out those who have weaknesses in those areas.
Artists and writers aren't rewarded by society? Have you happened to see the figures that Hollywood pulls in each year? Or your favorite musician?
They may be no less deserving of life, but plenty of people who work harder than others are going to resent sharing their wealth with everybody. If I'm a strong inflence on the economy, I sure as hell don't want my hard work going to support Joe Welfare Recipient so that he's making as much as I am. Fuck THAT!
Not everybody has a desire for money, true, but everyone who works has a desire to keep what they've earned.

It's not about hot/not hot, or fake boobs/natural or any other combination of things. With guys like Kobe, it comes down to only two things-
Old vs. New.
For example-
Hugh Grant had Elizabeth Hurley at home, and he settled for some dude in a wig.
If he is a rapist, he deserves to go to prison, where he will also be raped. If not, then he cheated on his wife, and THAT shouldn't really affect his career. He gets paid to play fucking basketball, not be a model husband. Need I remind the public of the NBA's affinity for illegitimate children? Or should I just go to a Wilt the Stilt reference?

Ahh, I vividly remember my days of church-going. As an ex-catholic, I can proudly say that MY priest paid us to come to church.

Oh, man! That would just be stupendous. That would be something I'd need in a big way. I don't have medical insurance right now (What's that, PJ? Need your wisdom teeth out? Ha! Fuck off, freeloader!) and I have been homeless before.
Homelessness isn't caused by stupidity all the time. There are plenty of places and cases where you can be out of work, looking for a job, with no friends and no place to go. I won't deny that plenty of people prefer the street to work (from broken spirits to just laziness), but many homeless people are in fact denied oppurtunity. Homeless people in the big cities of the US probably would have it easy enough in several instances (Yes, park benches aren't all that bad), but people in rural areas don't have the luxury to subside on the excess of thousands. They lose their home, and have no family or friends to go to/can't afford to get to them because they're so far away/other family & friends can't support them/etc., they're fucked, and could be for quite some time.
Coming from the experience of it, a lot of homeless people are just looking for a handout. But, there are just as many who want not to be homeless or have lost hope in ending it.
Word.
Does anybody know if people are taking special precautions to protect this school from hate crimes and such? I live in a rather red-necky part of California, and there are people I've met who would be just itiching for an oppurtunity to "get 'em all at once" so to speak. New York State probably has it's fair share of homophobic hate-crime committers.
It took a brave (well, extremely stupid) group of people to kill that student because he was gay, and I just hope that because the oppurtunities are going to be more readily available to hatemongers, that the school is taking all the proper precautions.

So, anybody have any gay relatives who have gotten married? If so, how do you feel about it, and why?
My mom's gay, but she's not married. She's twice divorced from two different men, and now just dates women. It would bother me if she married again, but not because she's gay-
It's because she devours the souls of everybody (men and women) who are foolhardy enough to engage in any sort of relationship with her. She's a leech. A slutty leech. Who has a really good lawyer.
Anyhoo-
Anybody out there with gay married relatives?
Well, if he wants to end his life, then he has the right, I'd think. I mean, it is his life... But how old are these kids he leaves twisting in the wind? If they're still young, there's a lot of support he can give them that isn't monetary, and sapping children of their father just plain sucks.
Anybody ever, like, put cigarette butts in cans to try and make your basket weigh more? I did. Hee hee.
Anyway- I'm for recycling. Less trash is a good thing, and you usually get paid to do it!

Well, the difference is, they BOTH get paid by a third party to watch and film the act for proper distribution through the legal channels for the enjoyment of the masturbating public. Some stars get a percentage of the profits, as well. I certainly understand how one could constrew that as such, however.
A quote about prostitution from my ex-girlfriend-
"I don't get it; selling is legal, and fucking is legal, so why isn't selling fucking legal?"
So, one time, there was this guy, and his name was PJ, and he decided to move to rio vista for the summer where his access to the inter-web was limited, and to make a long story short, he decided he was going to try to log on more often, just in case everyone was finally starting to forget the cynical, smart-assed comments (with a touch of the truth) he was often privy to. So, in the words of Bummy-

As for wrasslin'-
Wrestling is nothing more than a homoerotic, phallocentric soap opera perpetuated by the intellectually lazy who get off by culturally slumming.
I missed you guys. Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Long dramatic story of personal triumph over adversity. The stuff they make after school specials about. I hope to see more of you, but there's less internet access than usual, so... blah. If anyone cares to hear a more detailed version, e-mail the shrike or myself.

So, is this some sort of admission to the DAG being inferior, or something? Like the DAG is so low that it's impossible to bow to them? Or that the DAG doesn't deserve the respect necessary to warrant bowing? After all this stuff you posted about bowing to you, and how you're superior, and then you saying this, well... It seems slightly contradictory, does it not?
After all...
You'd never make any sort of mistake with the punctuation, or anything, because, you know, a comma could change the entire meaning of that simple little almost Anti-DAG sentence.
Just food for thought.

-Drink. A lot.
-Finish the screenplays I'm working on, if possible.
-Film a touching, yet incredibly depressing video will for all of my friends to despair/enjoy.

I'm lonely. I'm going to try and drink a 12-pack in an hour. Hopefully I can add some more constructive comments tonight, but if not, then I'm passed out in a puddle of flat, warm beer.

Alright, alright, that's enough. Back to the topic at hand. I think that a lot of people just fall into the crowd mentality of "fear what you don't understand." Kids can turn into whackos by playing D & D no more or less then people who sit around playing "Bible Adventures" for the NES (Worst game ever...*shudder*).
