What if Trump were a child?

Die-hard Trump supporters befuddle me to no end. Let's think about this for a moment here. Most of these individuals identify as "Christian," are big into "family values," and claim to vote Republican for their children's well-being and futures. It's also common to hear them berate celebrities for not being good role models to their kids. Yet here they are steadfast in their support for Donald Trump, a man who:

- Has been married three times

- Has cheated on all three of his wives

- Has a history of making lewd comments toward women

- Has allegedly sexually harassed/assaulted 20+ women

- According to Pulitzer Prize-winning site Politifact, lies approximately 69% of the time, while telling the truth just 17% of the time

- Has a history of making discriminatory remarks against minorities of all stripes

- Has a tendency to get angry

- Has trouble taking responsibility for his own actions, often casting blame elsewhere

- Seems to believe that money can buy anything, even the law

- Seems to collect lawsuits like unprotected nympho prostitutes collect herpes

So, let me get this straight, these die-hard Trump supporters, who want adults to be good role models for their kids, who support family values, and who call themselves Christian, love this man and want him to be the leader, to be the face of this country? What if their children acted like he did? What would their reaction be if their kids made discriminatory remarks towards minorities? What would their reaction be their sons viewed and talked about women like they were sexual objects? How would they react if they caught their children lying almost 3 out of 4 times they opened their mouths? What would they do if their kids often got angry or always blamed others for their mistakes? If their kids thought they could get away with anything, how would they handle that? My guess is they wouldn't support such behavior; they'd punish their kids to teach them a lesson; they may even go so far as to get their kids help either through medication or counseling. So, why on earth do these same individuals feel, while it's wrong for a young person to act like an angry spoiled hateful child, it's perfectly alright for an adult act in this manner? While, with help, many such kids can grow up to be fine young adults, there's less chance of a 70-year-old man similarly evolving as there is for Danny DeVito to wake up tomorrow as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just a word of advice for such die-hard Trumpsters, if you want your children to grow up to be mature, respectful adults, don't elect an angry spoiled hateful child as president.

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...
