Homophobia = bigotry, end of story. But don't expect me to attack the republicans on this one, because they have a more reasonable view on gay marriage than democrats do. Republicans point to the Bible's saying that homosexuality is immoral. For someone who reveres the Bible as the literal, perfect, all-relevant word of God, such a belief makes sense. (Discussing all the other beliefs that this implies is beyond the scope of this entry.)
Democrats now like to talk about civil unions. All the benefits of a marriage. But not really a marriage. It's almost like they want straight people and gay people to be... separate, in a way. But still... almost, I don't know. Equal? Separate but equal? That's never caused a problem before, right?
Talk about political convenience.

People need to cool it with the whole "I'm overworked" away messages. We're in college. You're not unique. Get a grip.

linux sucks
That's right, Linux sucks.
Linux has one explainable demographic: the computer geek whose life sucks so bad that he or she (okay, he) needs to have constant problems to fix in order to validate his self-worth.
It's more stable! It's more stable! You'll never want to go back to Windows. By the way, we don't have drivers for your wireless card. Use this program to emulate the Windows version of the driver. Oh, and you know how you never have to restart Linux? Well, you have to restart it now. And then it's never going to successfully boot up again.
Because aside from requiring two different installer discs, throwing errors that no one has any conclusive idea about, and freezing upon startup or shutdown, Ubuntu Linux makes my computer run hot. 90ยบ C hot. Plastic-tablecloth-melted-to-the-table hot.
Maybe my computer sucks. I guess I won't argue that. But if it sucks, it sure is good enough for an (apparently inferior) operating system, isn't it?
The only good thing I can say about Ubuntu is that I never thought I'd be relieved to go back to Vista. The Microsoft Sound is going to be music to my ears after this disaster.

If you've ever taken an elevator down one floor, and you're not physically handicapped, you deserve to be.
