Unbalanced

Am I the only one who gets frustrated that my right shoe is always a little more worn out than my left shoe because it’s my right foot that shuffles between the pedals in my car and gets all scraped up? I bought some boots a little over two weeks ago and the right boot already has a scuffed bald patch on the back! Bah, the perils of being a frequent driver. It’s the asymmetry of the shoes being different, asymmetry has always bothered me. Maybe one of these days I’ll show some pictorial evidence. It really is unacceptable!

Put Yourself In The Corner!

PEOPLE, we need to SIT DOWN and TALK. Why? Because this article exists: Anti-bullying bill a front for ‘sex education’ agenda, group says.

My first response: LOL. My second response: SIGH, where to begin? The crux of this article is a bunch of religious dweebs complaining that they don’t want kids to know that bullying their gay peers is wrong because learning about gay people will OMG TEACH THEM GAY PEOPLE EXIST or something? I don’t even know. But there was one particular quote that really got my beef.

There is a time and place for everything, said Rondo Thomas, of the Evangelical Association, but there is no “time and place” in an 8-year-old’s mind to try to make them conceptualize something beyond “tying their shoes.”

I can’t understand why someone would actually admit that they think kids are DUMB USELESS BABIES who CAN’T DO SHIT. It boggles the mind, especially when in fact children have a wonderful capacity to parse the world around them, much more than adults ever give them credit for. Of course they need guidance from parents and such but do people even realize how much an 8 year old understands about the world? It’s a lot yo. They’re pre-teens, not toddlers.
