Guns in churches? Arkansas Senate says Hallelujah to that!

Let's be honest - Jesus loved guns. For in the book of NotActually, chapter 6, verses 66-68, Jesus said:

"Only pussies turn the other cheek. I say shoot those no good motherf***ers down, yo. Amen."

I only say this because this past Monday, the Arkansas state Senate passed a bill which will allow people to carry concealed guns in churches.

The bill is called the Church Protection Act of 2013 (SB-71) and passed by a very convincing 28-4 margin. It'll need to pass the state House of Representatives and be signed by Governor Mike Beebe to become law.

Part of the bill reads as follows:

"It is found and determined by the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas that personal security is increasingly important; that the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States ensures a person's right to bear arms; and that this act is immediately necessary because a person should be allowed to carry a firearm in a church that permits the carrying of a firearm for personal security."

If this bill should pass, I'm thinking churches around the state of Arkansas may need to alter some of their hymns to the following titles:

"When the Saints Come Shooting In"

"Jesus Loves Me and My Gun"

"God and Guns Are So Good"

"Oh Come All Ye Shooters"

"Jesus Loves the Little Pistols"

At the closing of a prayer, it will soon become mandatory for people to fire their guns in the air after they say, "Amen." Amen, indeed.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
