It shouldn’t be controversial

This post is in response to Chirp’s post about homosexuality in Kuwait

‘The gays’. That term encompasses it all. I think the term is derogatory. It demonstrates how all homosexual people are clumped into this almost substandard category. Being homosexual is not all that somebody is, its part of them. Its not who they are, its part of what they are.

It’s like saying ‘the blacks’ in the ‘separate but equal’ era of the US. It’s the exact same thing. In fact, the whole situation is the same. There is this group of people that is different. The general population not only refuses to accept these people but also decides to persecute them just because they are different.

Now, some people may argue that homosexuality is a choice (as opposed to race). The whole choice of homosexuality debate is never-ending. I won’t even bother getting into it. But I will say that even if a person decides to participate in homosexual relations behind closed doors, what’s the harm in it? As long as it’s adult and consensual, who cares?

‘It’s a sin’. Well, seeing as homosexuality is a ‘victimless sin’ why not let God handle it? Why arrest them? Who’s going to benefit from that?

Retarded Islamists walk around and blame homosexuality on ‘Westernization’ (as usual). Jeez, those ‘Islamists’ should really pick up a Quran sometime. There’s a little story there in there about two cities called Sodom and Gomorrah. Those cities were in the Middle East (maybe they misread it as Middle America). If anything, the whole Sodom and Gomorrah story shows us how long homosexuality has been around here and still hasn’t gone away. If God didn’t get rid of homosexuality by decimating whole cities, what makes bigoted lawmakers think anything they do is going to?

Now, let’s discuss Kuwaiti homosexuality. Here’s what I think:

True homosexuality is the intrinsic feeling of preferring to have sexual relations with someone of the same sex. I think that a lot of guys and girls participate in homosexual acts not because they prefer it but because it is what’s available (just like in prison).

Kuwaiti society strongly discourages the mixing of males and females (as is demonstrated by our segregated schools and segregated everything).

What do you expect a developing male/female to do to release they’re sexual energy and they’re growing need for physical affection?

Once a boy/girl has committed their first homosexual act that’s where it gets psychologically complicated. They just did something that was physically and sexually pleasurable but, being raised with certain social morals, mentally unacceptable. They will either:

· Compartmentalize and go into denial: Like guys who deny having homosexual tendencies because they were ‘on top’.

· Rationalize their behavior and seek validation: I would think a lot of ‘boya’ girls do that. They decide that they are gay and dress and act a certain way in order to fit in with the ‘lesbian’ community (which is the only place where what they did is considered acceptable and normal).

Another unfortunate factor that contributes to a person’s homosexuality is sexual abuse. When children are sexually abused they often become sexually confused. Let’s say a little boy is sexually abused by his father. Now, sexual abuse can mess a kid up in any which way: He could go into shock and completely shut down, he could rationalize the event and decide that it’s acceptable (even wanted), or: The child recognizes the event as abuse but can help but associate the homosexual act with a father’s love. He grows up, and he wants to be with men because deep within his mind he is seeking those feelings of paternal affection (because Daddy told him ‘this is how I show you that I love you’).

Messed up to the 11^th degree, I know. But that’s how it is. So in my opinion people who were sexually abused as children are not necessarily homosexual but probably sexually confused.

Banning homosexual gatherings isn’t going to do shit. If they really want to get together they will.

What the government should do is allow and encourage free mingling of the sexes at an early age. Put the kids in a healthy, respectful co-ed environment. Don’t make the opposite sex such a mystery. And don’t assume that you can do nothing and that society and school will mold your child into a well-rounded individual (or a mini-you).

Also, counseling for people who have sexual identity issues. I’m not talking about the ‘conversion’ crap that seeks to whip the gay out of you. I mean a safe place where people can get professional help and discuss their sexuality (if it bothers them) without fear of retribution or judgment.

Last of all, and most importantly: Learn to live and let live. Learn some tolerance. So you don’t like what gay people do. You don’t have to like it or agree with it, you just have to accept it. They’re not going away. They’re here. They’re queer. Get used to it.

I don’t particularly care if someone is homo or hetero. I draw the line at non-consensual sex (children and animals).

I don’t think I could ever be attracted to a girl. I just don’t see the appeal.

But just because I don’t feel it, it doesn’t mean others can’t or shouldn’t.

What amazes me is when ‘religious’ people say:

“Homosexuality is wrong. It’s wrong because it…. its… its just wrong! I don’t understand it. It doesn’t make sense! It’s unnatural as designated by God.”

I would think that if anybody could accept things that they don’t understand it would be religious people. Isn’t that what basis of religion is? There is no way you could understand God or even fathom his existence, and yet you accept Him.

And c’mon people, if God wanted you to think that homosexuality was so unnatural then he wouldn’t have made so many animals behave homosexually. Most every animal species has incidence of homosexuality. Some species (ex. Bonobos –wiki it!) even have homosexuality engraved in their societies.

What’s more natural than nature? Or do you want to believe that animals too been watching too much Orbit and have become ‘Westernized’?

Common Sense, dead? Never!!!!

So I’m checking Chirp’s blog and there is this email forward she got:

Obituary
Common Sense

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn’t always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I’m a Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

I don’t agree with most of that forward.

Six-year old charged with sexual harassment: He wasn’t charged legally, he was suspended from school. They probably should have given him detention, not suspension. but so what? His parents should have taught him what was appropriate touching and what wasn’t. I doubt anything would have happened to him if it didn’t bother the kid that was kissed (that’s what defines sexual harrassment- its unwanted). So its okay to suspended a kid for hitting another kid and making them cry but not okay to suspend them for kissing a kid and making them cry?Suspension so he’ll learn his lesson sounds pretty fair to me… Sounds like common sense to me. Protect the children = common sense.
I dunno about the mouthwash thing. But I’m guessing that it contained alcohol – usually not tolerated at schools. The teens should have known better. If I was caught with half empty bottle of ‘cologneyat jackson’ and said I was just perfuming up after gym, I think its plausible that they’d assume I was getting trashed on it.

Teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student. You mean the teacher that ductaped a chatty girl’s mouth? I doubt the teacher just said “Your being very disruptive. Please be quite”. We send our kids to school to be educated not ‘disciplined’. Its a parents job to discipline children, not teachers- even if the parents don’t, teachers still shouldn’t. If parents want teachers to have that power they should sign a waiver at the beginning of every school year. Teachers teaching and parents parenting = common sense

Parental consent to administer chemicals that could have potential side effects makes sense to me. Alot of people are allergic to Asprin – my brother is. Aspirin can also cause a serious and sometimes fatal condition called Reye’s syndrome in children. Also, all SPFs are essentially chemicals. And alot of people have latex allergies that can be triggered by plasters. I think I should have the right to decide what drugs and chemicals are put into my children – they are my spawn. Making medical decisions for your children makes sense to me. As long as your decision doesn’t endanger your child’s health that is.

As for not telling parents if their children are pregnant – Now here is where you need to use real common sense. Let’s say Jassim (AKA daddy) is told that his 13 year old daughter Sabeecha is pregnant. What does common sense tell you will happen? Let’s take a second to think…. hmmmmmm……. Just a wild guess: he’s going to beat her within a millimeter of her life. And then eat the fetus alive (yummy!). Don’t believe me? Ask your brother/father/guyfriend what he would do. It might not result in murder or cannibalism but I guarantee its going to involve violence. If the girl isn’t beaten, then the baby daddy who knocked her up is going to get knocked out. Its common sense.

“Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband”

This line is just plain insulting. It infers that sense and decency come from relegion. I don’t need some etchings from Moses to know what’s good and sensible. Common sense, as its name reveals, is common- most everybody has it. Jew or otherwise. Just because I don’t want some religious script thrown in my face every which way I go doesn’t mean I’ve no common sense.

And what do you mean “as churches became businesses”? They’ve always been businesses. Even worse, they’ve always been centers of political agendas. The true base of spirituality is not a church, it is the heart. (Wow, that’s some deep Hallmark shit I just came up with – Lifetime Channel here I come!)

The burglar thing: Anbody can file a civil suit against you for anything in the US. The ridiculous suits – like the burglar one – end up getting dropped. Its good that they don’t limit the complaints of the people (burglars are people too!). If they did then the judicial system and precedents would never progress. The fact that people can make legal cases that are not mainstream is one of the reasons why the US has one of the most developed and continually progressing legal systems in the world. You make a case, if its stupid it’ll get dropped. If you have a case it can ago all the way up to the supreme court and possibly change the law. Awesome!

Hot coffee: You could look at it as the woman ‘failed to realized that a cup of coffee was hot’ and was awarded a huge settlement. I look at it as a woman spilled hot coffee on herself and noticed that there was a deficiency in beverage labeling laws. As a result of her discovery and her pursuit to improve labeling laws, she was awarded a large sum of money. If I ever meet that woman I wouldn’t go “Stupid bitch with no common sense!” I’d say “You go girl! All this time, nobody has had enough sense to make beverage companies warn us that their products could be dangerously hot, and you made money offa it! Lucky bitch!” Coffee’s hot? That’s hot!

And what’s wrong with knowing my rights? You want to strip me of them? And sometimes, I am a victim, but I’m a victim who wants to become a survivor. And without laws and right set to protect me I’m always going to be just a victim.

And so: I’m not going to attend Common Sense’s funeral because he’s not dead. I’m afraid you’ve misidentified the corpse. A time when sexual harassment was fine, when you couldn’t speak up for fear of being ridiculed for having no sense: That’s Retardation. Common Sense and Retardation aren’t even related.

Rejoice! Common Sense isn’t dead, he’s alive and well. He’s just had a facelift and some lipo that’s why you may have had some trouble recognizing him. See, just like everything else in this world Common Sense has progressed with the times, you should too.

All the weird kids know

I have 15 minutes to type up an entertaining post for you. There’s a meeting that just started- thank God I wasn’t invited. Now I have some time to kill until the end of the work day unfortunately they just blocked Facebook here- evil bastards. Or are they? According to this maybe they’re trying to save me….

Oh well, there are a ton of other things to keep me occupied on the internet. For example, I just found a website who’s aim is much like mine. Take a look at Absolute Random. Man, talk about zero tolerance…. Poor guy.

How to survive a day at the office

Unusual uses for ordinary things

 ——————————

Okay, times up….

 

 

Would you like me to lick your balls with that?

Aaaaaaghhhh!!! I’ve been back at work for less than a week and already I’m going to start killing people.

Ahem, okay, deep breath *deep breath*, first of all welcome to the first post of my new blog. Now, my rant:

I haven’t had time to post these past few days because I’ve been busy with retarded shit at work. So my boss (just to clarify I have a unit head then, above him, a boss) has a meeting to attend. And he needs a powerpoint, which me and my unit head are to create. Ofcourse that means I am going to be making it because my unit head is not the most computer saavy person on Earth. Whatever, fine. I spend most of the day creating the presentation and integrating shit from various places. And my unit head comes and suggests some irrelevant changes like “make the logo a centimeter smaller”. Again, thats fine.

Time passes, I’m still working on this presentation, and my unit head starts getting annoying. He stands right behind me, the whole time, just standing. Waiting. It’s so annoying and actually distracting. So I tell him “You can wait in your office if you want, I’ll email it to you when I’m done”. I say it nicely, but still I convey the message: leave me.

But he doesn’t leave, he just says “Yeah, its just that the boss is coming soon and I know he’s going to want it the minute he comes in”.

And then whats worse is that he starts giving me tips on how to do things. He can’t even friggin’ change slide design and he’s telling me ways to go about PowerPoint. I don’t say anything to him because I know he’s just nervous. My unit head is nice and gentle but he is a coward when it comes to dealing with our boss.

Anyway, I get the presentation done. And its really nice. I created a nice simple slide design, it had our logo, I used our 2 corporate colors. It was everything a powerpoint should be: Nice, clean, simple, and consistent. Consistent except for the part where they made me add some slides that our boss created. They were really bad. They were made of all different colors. What was worse than the colors was sudden inexplicable font size changes. It was like I was having a bad acid trip: Crazy colors, things changing sizes. It was really really bad. Anyway, I’m told to add them as they are. So I do.

Now, our boss is a slithery little fellow. He knows that he can’t just say anything to me and get away with it (like he can to our mouse-like unit head). So he gets other people to do his dirty work. My boss tells my unit head to tell me that “the presentation is really ugly. Let *name here* print out a copy of the presentation that she made and a copy my presentation and compare them and learn what her mistakes are”.

Really? Really? Okay, lets take a looksy then. I was expecting that I’d be walking through the looking glass back into crazyland. But I should know better than to think our boss would actually take the time to change a whole presentation. It was the exact same presentation, all he did was make some fonts a little bigger. I wish he’d made them all bigger. But some were bigger. Some were ALOT bigger. And he didn’t even bother to change the font color to match the presentation. He just basically left some randomly sized black text on every other slide.

I’ve learned that I can’t take anything my boss says seriously. But I was none the less slightly offended. I mean even if you are going to call my work ugly atleast make some significant changes before calling it your beautiful presentation.

Whatever, I got over it. There is no pleasing that man anyway. One day he likes red the next flourescent yellow with a hint of blueberry crush covered in doo-doo. I take it one day at a time, as long as he knows that he can’t say shit to me, let him be schtizo. My unit head gets all the verbal lashing – because he takes it. Unlike him, if the boss says’ jump’, I say ‘you first motherfucker’.

So that was yesterday. As for today…

This fine establishment had decided to give its employees hyperthermia. The retards have turned on the heating so high that I feel the urge to twirl around on the spot and call myself a shawerma.

Anyway….

My unit head tells me that he’s going to be emailing me a couple of documents pertaining to the projects we were talking about yesterday and that I should read them and in the process print out 4 copies (on for each member of the unit) to use in our meeting.

I don’t mind doing that, I’m not exactly going out of my way, I need to read them anyway. But when I actually get the email. There are 14 documents attached. A bunch of which I’d written (therefore I don’t have to read them). And some of them were long.

What the fuck? Are you serious? Do I look like your flipping secretary? You can’t just email me hundreds of pages and ask me to print them out and staple them so you can distribute them to people. And that’s what I told him – but nicely. He said that he only asked me to do it because he was busy and that he does similar things alot and that each person needs a hard copy at the meeting. So I told him, if each person needs a hard copy, you email them the files and say print out a copy for the meeting. You don’t tell me to print out copies and give them to people. And then I turned around and left.

Sheesh. Print them out and distribute them. Would you like me to lick your balls with that? Because that’s what a bitch does. And I refuse to be the bitch of the unit! I’m nobody’s bitch! NOBODY’S!!!!!!!

Anyway, I know that the poor guy meant nothing by it. And I decided to print out the documents and when he came in and asked me if I did the other work I was supposed to do (which is actually meaningful) I said “No. I’ve been printing the things you told me to print!”. Grrrrrr…..

And that’s when he apologized.

And so I got what I wanted in the end: He now knows that I’m not the bitch. And I got to print some papers, sit here, eat my honey, surf the net, and blog. I’ll get to stapling the papers on Sunday. I’ve gotta milk this cow for all its worth you know.

Until Stapling Sunday!
