Because Haters Like Thematic Music, Too

At funerals of fallen soldiers, they hold signs "God Hates Your Tears," "Thank God For Dead Soldiers," "Fags Die, God Laughs." They sing songs of hate (like the one below). They're Jenna Bush's wedding. They even picketed Coretta Scott King's Funeral.

WTF? Seriously.

They go all these funerals and other events. Even their children are holding picket signs of hate. You'll notice whenever they have the American flag, it's upside down, or, you know, on the ground. They certainly never hesitate to walk all over it.

What posses these people? They've recently put out a c.d. I heard their song, the one listed below. It's horrifying, really.

"Because there are people who hate people --and some of those people like music, and they like their music to be thematic." -Friend at school.

They picket Billy Graham revivals because he doesn't propagate the "God hates fags" doctrine. After the events at Va Tech and Northern Illinois, they announced that they would be picketing the funerals of the victims.

No. Seriously. WTF?

The church is comprised almost wholly of members of the Phelps family. When Phelps, Sr. was voted out of his old congregations several other families followed to the new church, the Westboro Baptist Church. Pretty much all these families have married into the Phelps Family. Phelps, Sr. actually doesn't allow members of WBC to marry outside the church (oh, God, the inbreeding). The church preaches hate about not only homosexuals, but Roman Catholics, Muslims, Jews, and people who they believe support these groups: Swedes, Mexicans, Canadians, Irish, British, Americans.


Does it get more ridiculous? I'm sure it does.

On the lighter side, some parody websites have been made including "God Hates Figs" (do we all remember the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree?) and "God Hates Shrimp" (according to Leviticus, eating shellfish is a crime greater than homosexuality. Red Lobster is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord).

US Smarmy
By WestBoro Baptist Church
(to the tune of The Army Goes Marching Along)

First you fight
For the fags
Now you're coming home in bags
And your Army goes marching to hell
Proud of all your sins
No more battles you will win
And your Army goes marching to hell

Then it's IEDs
The Army's on its knees
Count off the body parts all gone (Two! Three!)
And where e'er they go
The dying soldiers show
That your Army keeps marching to hell.

Crimes you praise in your ranks
Getting blown up in your tanks
And your Army goes marching to hell
Hating God; coward’s hearts
Ziploc bags for body parts
And your Army goes marching to hell

Then it's IEDs
The Army's on its knees
Count off the body parts all gone (Two! Three!)
And where e'er they go
The dying soldiers show
That your Army keeps marching to hell.

Serve a rag, God’s hate grows
See the tags on all your toes?
And your Army goes marching to hell
For a tyrant you fight
God destroys you with His might
And your Army goes marching to hell

Then it's IEDs
The Army's on its knees
Count off the body parts all gone (Two! Three!)
And where e'er they go
The dying soldiers show
That your Army keeps marching to hell.

The Sun Is A Mass Of Incadescent Gas

Last night, I was tempted to stop studying for my Physical World final. After all, I'd studied all the old material very thoroughly; everything else had been on the last test, which I'd made a 94 on, or was really new material. I figured I could make a B.

So, I kept studying. I've just taken the final. It took me about 35 minutes. I totally aced it. It's a good thing I kept studying. I wouldn't have been able to properly describe the death of a star about the size of the sun (sm/med). I didn't make a 100, but I definitely made an A. It should be enough to boost my final grade from a B to an A.

Last night, a guy was asking me why I was studying. Tim and Kevin were playing video games (Runescape and GTA IV). "Because I want to make an A." "Why?" "So, I can make an A in the class." "Why?" "So, I can raise my GPA." "Why?" "So, I can graduate Cum Laude." (I think Manga Cum Laude may be out of my reach.) "Why?" It was kind of like talking to a 3-year-old. Graduating Cum Laude will make me more appealing to grad schools so they give me grants and research opportunities.

Also, here is a funny note I sent to my Trig professor (exam's on Friday).

I was studying for my phys world exam when I asked Tim when I would ever need to know the formation of a sedimentary rock. See, I thought trig had risen above something in usefulness. But he explained to me that I may be called upon at any time to use this so-called "useless information" to stave off tragedy/disaster. The MacGuyver Principle. And since Dr. Cote explained in class how MacGuyver was an ideal fit Sternberg's model for intelligence, I decided that learning all these things is really quite important, if not a necessity.

Sociology

This morning, during my incredibly short sociology class (it's the last day of class), my professor asked if anyone was taking any sociology classes next semester. I'll be taking demography. I'm actually the only student in the class taking anymore sociology classes. I guess everyone else just took it because it's required (you have the option of intro to: psych/soc/econ). I took it because I'm a psychology major and I have to take some sociology courses. I'd like to take more actually. One student asked him if he was teaching any courses next semester other than Intro to Sociology. Dumb question, really, because Dr. Lodge is the chair of the Sociology Dept. So, umm, yeah, he's teaching a couple upper-levels. Demography is a 400-level and he wanted to be sure I was going to be a junior or a senior next semester (I'll be a senior). He's also teaching deviance, which will probably focus on the medicalization of deviance. I wish I could take that course, but I'm already at 16 hours.

If I had the money, I'd do another semester and minor sociology (and spread my classes out a bit. It'd be nice to be less stressed). That would be awesome. I wish I could. After next semester, I'd need two more classes. I'd like to take Deviance, Cultural Anthropology, Social Inequality, Social Problems, Sociology of Medicine...

Maybe I will. Maybe some how I'll come into money.

Probably not! Lol.

Roles of Gynoid in Science Fiction

"The November 13, 1959 episode of The Twilight Zone was titled The Lonely and deals with James Corry, a convicted murderer sentenced to 50 years solitary life on a barren desert planet. Allenby, the captain of the rocket which delivers supplies once each year, takes pity on Corry, and leaves him with a gynoid named Alicia who is indistinguishable from a live woman. Corry eventually finds that she makes his life much more than bearable, and falls in love with her. Things go well until one day Allenby returns with news that Corry has been pardoned, however the rocket is already near full capacity, and Corry is only allowed to bring 15 pounds of gear. Corry protests when he realizes that Alicia exceeds this limit, and will be left behind. Allenby shoots Alicia in the face, revealing ruined, smoking wires and components, and tells Corry "The only thing you are leaving behind is loneliness"."

I cannot BELIEVE that no one has known the proper response to this previous post. I'm very disappointed in all of you. (Hint, click title!)

Importing notes

I was going to import my blog post to Facebook so people can read the posts there, too. I was looking over what I had imported and realized that I don't want to have to deal with people when they get pissy over what I write. So, I'll just leave them here. If they get pissy about it I'll just tell them to get the hell off of my blog. If you don't like what you're reading, click the little [x] in the upper right hand corner. It's not like I'm loosing your business or anything. And, if I was, I wouldn't care.

Lie Back and Think of England

I am happy now that George calls on my bedchamber less frequently than of old. As it is, I now endure but two calls a week, and when I hear his steps outside my door I lie down on my bed, close my eyes, open my legs and think of England

Geography of a World Without Stephen Colbert

-from Wikiality, the Truthness Encyclopedia. No facts. No reality. Just truthness!


Why does the geography matter? Isn't the fact that Stephen Colbert would be gone from the face of the earth slightly more important than the geography?

It is, but I'll tell you anyway. The world (and more importantly, America) would be covered in a thick blanket of evergreen forest. These "forests" would serve as refuge for the bears and squirrels that wish to harm us. Nothing would stop them and my gut tells me the Bear Uprising of 2012 would begin as early as 2007.

That's all you need to know about geography.
