GOP says it's too soon to talk about terrorism

Following the San Bernardino shooting last week where 14 were killed and 21 others wounded, which the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism, President Barack Obama said it was time to pass stricter laws in order to make it more difficult for terrorists to perform acts of terror within this country. Republicans quickly shot back, saying, "It's too soon to talk about terrorism," as well as, "Don't listen to the Democrats trying to use this terrorist act to set forth a political agenda." When I caught up with some of the GOP's leading presidential candidates, here's what they had to say about the matter:

- "Bombs don't kill people; terrorists with bombs kill people." - Marco Rubio

- "The only way to stop a bad terrorist with a gun is a good terrorist with a gun." - Ted Cruz

- "No matter what terrorism laws we implement, terrorists are going to find a way to break those laws, so why harm the rights of law-abiding citizens with the passing of these laws if terrorists are going to break them anyway?" - Ben Carson

- "They have stricter terrorism laws in other countries, yet one time I heard from this guy somewhere out there, whose name I forget but I really trust, that these countries still get attacked once in a great while, so I mean, what's the point?" - Donald Trump

Shortly thereafter, I contacted the Republican National Committee and asked," Since you claim it's too soon to talk about acts of terrorism, which have been responsible for less than 100 deaths on our soil since 2005, is it finally time to talk about gun violence, which has been responsible for over 300,000 deaths on our soil since that same time?"

The RNC responded, "What, are you crazy? If we feel it's too soon to talk about acts of terrorism in this country, it's way too soon to talk about gun violence. As a matter of fact, if terrorists want guns in this country, they should be able to get them. After all, terrorists deserve 1st and 2nd Amendment rights just like the rest of us. Oh, and Hillary Clinton is still the weakest of all when it comes to terrorism! Four is greater than both fourteen and 300,000! Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi!"

    Okay again, I'm cracking up! Athough, I wanted to see Ben Carson tie it into the pyramids. Donald Trump was completely accurate! Haha. Actually, you nailed all their personalities. Haha. Dying. Side cramps!

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

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
