In my previous post I suggested the fervor of ex-gay evangelists probably had more to do with the need to convince themselves of the correctness of their course than it does to convert others to their cause. This wasn’t a random or mean-spirited accusation. It seems those with the most to hide are often the [...]
I’ve been thinking about the letter(s) to which Jason responded. It’s easy to dismiss such people as loony and I must apologize for using that word. If you missed the reference in the title of my previous post, I do understand his words were well intended, though I’m not sure if he was trying to [...]
Jason Kuznicki posts an absolutely poetic response to an ex-gay loony.
Definately worth a look. Also be sure not to miss the essay mentioned in his post.
Apparently a 28 year old man has died in South Korea after neglecting his nutritional requirements in favor of playing video games on-line. This, of course, has authorities worried about Internet addiction and will, I’m sure, add more fuel to the fire burning over the deleterious effects of video games.

Meandering through the blogosphere today I came across this little gem:
In grad school, when I was around 26 or so, my friend V. was dating a guy in his mid-30’s. I made the same kind of jokes about how he was dating a senior citizen. Again, these jokes were not appreciated by the mid-30’s boyfriend.

I occasionally joke with my Trekker friends about waiting for someone to invent the transporter. I can’t imagine any one thing that would more radically alter our economy. Admittedly, I don’t try very hard, but think about it. If you want to live in B.F.E. Montana and work in Los Angeles, New York or even [...]
I got on-line this morning to make a credit card payment only to discover that my checking account was in the red by $233. I’m the sort of person who usually knows to within $100 what my checking account balance is. Since I was expecting a number closer to a positive $1400, it goes with [...]
In many British cities, there are now demands for sexual segregation in schools and for separate sharia courts to try Muslim defendants. The electoral strength of Muslims is great enough to encourage pandering from all three parties.
I do not understand this. Can I ask one simple question? Why did you move to Britain? [...]
David Parker is back in the news as he gets ready to go to trial for is arrest for criminal trespassing. Honestly, this whole thing has entered the realm of the ridiculous. Parker’s “simple” request to be notified of anything he deems inappropriate for his child is just inane. Yeah, there’s a law, but it’s [...]
