"Alabama Pastor Holds 'Whites Only' Conference"

Yeah, that's right. I love what the pastor said when approached about this. Reverend William Collier said that he wasn't a racist, but that "the white race is God's chosen people."

The founder of the church, Mel Lewis, complained that the uproars this year shows a disrespect for religious liberty. ...and yes, the KKK will be attending this year...

Yeah, Jesus was Jewish. If there were a chosen people, wouldn't it be Jews? If we don't want to look at it that way, wouldn't everyone be God's "chosen people"? People amaze me with such idiotic comments and then they hide behind their distorted version of their religion to say they're not a racist and then attempt to turn the tables and say it's the people calling them out that are against free speech/religion/diversity.

According to Collier and the like, the hymn goes something like this:

"Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world,
White and white, white and white,
They are precious in his sight..."

Well, I guess if God had a chosen person to showcase stupidity, it's Reverend William Collier.

    That's ridiculous. I'm not suprised to hear of the KKK being there. Bunch of racist jerkoffs anyway. I hate racism, I hate people who are racist. People who believe that white is powerful or white is the dominant people need to have their head examined. I hate racism, discrimination. As far as my opinion goes, we're all the same on the inside; we just come in different packages is all. God did it that way to make us all unique in our own ways, to add a little splash of variety on the earth, to add a splash of diversity here. I love it when there are people of other races and nationalities here. It'd be boring if it was all white here.

    I've been in situations where people say bad things, like making a big deal I'm hugging a black person or an Asian person. There are people my dad work with that are of other ethnicities. One time, a friend of my dad's, who happens to be black, was at her store at this local flea market. So me, my sis and dad went out there to see her and we started hugging her because we knew her for so long and this white guy was giving us dirty looks; like he thought we should not be hugging a person darker than us! WTF?

    Thanks for your comment. It really amazes me that, in this day and age, there are still people whom judge others not by their character, but by the color of their skin (or in other cases, their gender, sexual orientation, creed, etc.). I'll never understand such a person's thinking. When I talk to and get along with someone, why in the world should it make a difference if that person is white, black, brown, purple, periwinkle, male, female, a bit of both, gay, straight, asexual, Hindu, Christian, Scientologist, etc.? I have a feeling that often times, such people are quite insecure and ignorant. Some of them need to feel like there's a person or group of people beneath them in some manner. I also find that often times they're not the brightest crayons in the box. When we limit our diversity in people/culture, we limit our diversity in knowledge.

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...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
