If the GOP truly feels Obamacare will fail...

I don't understand the Republican Party's hardcore efforts to repeal Obamacare for a number of reasons. First off, it's less likely to occur than Leonardo DiCaprio starring in a sequel to Titanic. Not only do Democrats control the Senate, but also the Oval Office with a guy by the name of Obama. 

Another reason why I don't understand Congressional Republicans' seeming obsession with repealing Obamacare is this. Even though the law has yet to be fully implemented, GOPers have declared that the law has failed. That would be like me saying that an expanded background check gun control law has failed even though it hasn't passed through Congress. If Republicans truly feel that Obamacare will fail, which would hurt the Democratic Party's chances in coming elections, why are they so bound and determined to repeal the law before it has been fully implemented? Is that because they're truly worried about people's healthcare or because they're worried that Obamacare, when fully implemented, will actually work and hurt their party's chances in coming elections? If the GOP truly feels Obamacare is going to be as awful as they say it is (even though it was originally a conservative idea and largely supported by the Republican Party), then they wouldn't be fighting this hard to repeal it.

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...
