Louie Gohmert proposes nun-space-colony bill

In an attempt to prove that homosexuals are worthless components to a functioning society, Texas Representative Louie Gohmert proposed what he termed "The Nun Space Colony" bill earlier this week, elaborating on the matter by saying this on the House floor:

"You know that Matt Damon movie, The Bourne Martian Identity Theory? That was possibly based on a future true story. So what if that future true story becomes, you know, true? Are we gonna send a bunch of the gays to a space colony to save mankind? If that happened, we'd all go extinct, am I right or am I right? So, what I'm going to do today, so we never get ourselves in that kind of situation, is propose a bill which will prevent the gays from trying to save mankind because they can't save mankind. With this bill, if that Good Martian Hunting movie comes to life, what we're going to do is send 40 nuns to a space colony to save everyone. Sure, these nuns may not be able to reproduce or whatever, but unlike the gays, God will be on their side, so we'll have nothing to worry about. Come on, people! Vote for my 'Nun Space Colony' bill, so that, in case of that Martian Supremacy movie becoming a reality, we wind up with Saving Private Martian and not Martian Under Fire!"

In response, Matt Damon has started the send-Louie-Gohmert-to-space petition, which has already received 250 million signatures in its first 24 hours. Yes, his wife Kathy and their three daughters Sarah, Katy, and Caroline are among the 250 million.

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...
