Donald Trump vs. a Crying Baby

The question of the day is, "How long can he go?" During his campaign, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has gone after the following demographics: Muslims, Mexicans, women, LGBTs, "the" blacks, the disabled, POWs, the press, immigrants, Jews, the other Republican candidates, Democratic candidates, fact-checkers, the current president and administration, former presidents and administrations, opponents' families, and now you can add babies to the seemingly never-ending list. At a recent rally in Ashburn, Virginia, Trump melt the need to comment about a crying baby in the audience, and started off in a pleasant tone, as he said the following:

"I love babies. I hear that baby cry, I like it. What a baby. What a beautiful baby. Don't worry, don't worry. The mom's running around, like, don't worry about it, you know. It's young and beautiful and healthy and that's what we want."

Not long after those comments, though, Trump changed his tune, saying, "Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here. I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I'm speaking. That's OK. People don't understand. That's OK."

So, once again, we have to ask the question, "How low can he go?" I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear him utter one of these quotes at future rallies:

- "Aw, isn't that a cute little puppy dog? Okay, someone snap him to me like in that football sport thing and I'll punt him. Who wants to be the returner?"

- "Look at this old dude up front here. How old are you? 96? Jesus... Hold on, let me bust out my list of you're-so-old jokes. You're so old, you remember when Obama started The Great Depression! Bam!"

- "How far along are you? Eight months? Hey, everybody, let's play a new game, called 'The Pregnant Punching Bag.' This is gonna be a lot of fun - good clean, family fun, folks - believe me."

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...
