Dude, it's a community college.  I make it my business to harass community college students by yelling things like, "Thanks for ruining America's educational system!" and "The world needs ditch-diggers, Danny!" as I drive by.  Some of those poor stupid fucks come out of community college with debt load equal to what got me through law school.  Suckers.

Yeah it'd be better if they didn't try to get any education...

Well although a decent amount of people came out to protest yesterday, it was rather uninspired.  We'd already expected the court's decision so there wasn't a lot of anger...more weariness than anything else.

Quote"I'm really happy that Prop. 8 was upheld, but I was just told by somebody that she's going to harass me until the day I die," Kulinich said. "Now I'm really concerned for my safety.

"I didn't expect that," she said. "I'm shaking right now."

Wait you went to San Francisco to oppose gays and you did not expect to be confronted with hostility?

I will go to your Klown Kristian Kollege and piss on Jesus not expecting any hostility at all and see where that gets me.

My sister is going to community college to learn how to be an X-Ray technician.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Oddly, Princesca's cousin is going to Morehead State in the fall for the same reason, but it's a four year B.S. program.  :huh:

You should be celebrating the fact this was put to the vote.  A few years ago there wouldn't even have been a referendum about it.  There's been progress.

And what do you object to now ?

Well we have a vote on it 8 years ago...and it was a proposition with the exact same text.  Seems to me that refutes your statement that a few years ago we wouldn't have even had a referendum about it.

The only sign of progress is that about 10% fewer people voted for the ban last year.  I suppose there is some solace that while still a majority, fewer people now hate gays.

I'm going to start publicizing Martinus.  Expect that to change.

If people can look upon Perez Hilton and not feel the urge to hate gays, they can handle Martinus.

Nobody knows who Perez Hilton is.  Soon, everyone will know who Martinus is.  And when that happens, gays will face the full force of persecution, like they've never felt it before.
