For people whom believe homosexuality is innate yet still wrong

I'm not sure why I just thought of this, but there seems to be a growing number of people whom will say the following when asked what their feelings are toward homosexuality:

"Yeah, I think people are born that way, but I still think they shouldn't do it, you know?"

These are typically members of the conservative evangelical movement whom now know someone that is openly gay.

Now when hearing or reading a person utter such words, I'd have to respond in the following manner:

Me: "So, you're saying people are born gay?"

Them: "Yup"

Me: "Yet they still shouldn't engage in any form of physical/sexual intimacy with people they're innately attracted to sexually?"

Them: "Nope"

Me: "Were you born the way you are? Meaning, have you always been sexually attracted to the opposite sex?"

Them: "Yup"

Me: "Would it be right of me and logically consistent from your vantage point to then say you shouldn't engage in sexual relations with members of the opposite sex?"

Them: "Uh..."

Me: "That's what I thought..."

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...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
