Of this and that
Jul. 15th, 2004 11:19 amWe went and watched the fireworks last night after all - and not from our garden I mean *g* I told you we didn't care much about morons, didn't I? We weren't in Choisy though (the fireworks were on the 13th here) but in Thiais. It was really enjoyable, they had a great show. And I liked the theme : a musical retrospective from the 40's to now. Nice *g* The theme for the one in Choisy was D-Day with songs like La Chanson des Partisans, Le Jour le Plus long, stuff like that - it was more formal and more moving in a way. Yesterday night was pure fun. Not that one was better than the other, mind - they just gave a different feel *g* We also had a very good view on other fireworks in the closest cities so we saw four different ones - only, from afar for those ones, you know? Very nice too *g*
Now, concerning the amendment to ban gay marriage they tried to pass in the US --where else, really?-- it appears that the Senate handed President George W. Bush a humiliating defeat Wednesday by rejecting a bid to amend the US Constitution to ban gay marriage. Though the debate isn't dead yet, far from it, so the threat is still there.
And I know that even some gays and lesbians are against this whole same-sex marriage issue because they don't believe in marriage anyway, but like I always say, lots of straight people are against or don't believe in it either, it never was a valid point to ban straight marriage, right? The point is, straights have a choice, we don't.
Also, hearing all those people always rant about how same-sex union is a threat to the heterosexual world and family, you would think straight couples aren't that stable or solid, really. Note to self : never introduce future girlfriend to straight people, it could destroy their own happiness and eventually their whole relationship [/sarcasm]
Oh and since I'm on the subject *eg*
crystalskull and I created the Ten Commandments for our brand new Church of Kinky Gay Sex. Since some people were curious to know about them, we didn't want to let them down *eg*
Thou Shalt have kinky gay sex
Thou Shalt not limite thyself to twosomes
Thou Shalt use toys
Thou Shalt love to punish or/and be punished
Thou Shalt screw like minxs
Thou Shalt know how to beg for mercy
Thou Shalt try new positions all the time
Thou Shalt enjoy thyself
Thou Shalt respect thy partner
Thou Shalt never be ashamed of thy desires

crystalskull on MSN can give birth to scary things - what can we say, we have too much fun together lol

Amendments are normally made to further rights, not take them away -- I wonder if the US would still be as proud of their constitution if half the amendments are taking away people's rights?

How many of those Republican men are screwing around on their wives, anyway? (Ewwww, who would even think of having sex with a Republican?)(I guess that makes me a bigot in a sense, too.)

Considering the kind of morons we're talking about right now, am wondering if this kind of bigotry wouldn't be accepted - which is, of course, a twisted reasoning, but whatever lol It would almost make me feel sorry for any tolerant Republican over the US since those bigots make their side look so fucking ugly.
You know, I can understand people's reservations about gay couples adopting kids - I don't agree at all, but eventually I can understand, but the marriage issue? No, just no, I can't, sorry. And when they try to shove those stupid reasonings down our throats? Even less. Sure I'm a lesbian and people will say I'm biased, well I happen to also be a human being with a working brain, thank you very much.

Yeah, almost. Except that if they are moderate, then they should speak up, and not let the lunatic fringe speak for their party. They've been kissing the ass of far right for as long I can remember.

See, that's your problem right there. In order to understand, you have to turn your brain off completely. And don't try thinking with your heart, either. They don't have those.
Bah. Sorry for the ranting. I'm just so fed up with the current administration. They scare me.
