Skill-testing questions

How are those not discriminatory? You win a contest and you have to answer a "skill-testing question". Why?

What if a developmentally challenged individual won? Maybe a guy who could barely count to 20. He has to answer a 4 part skill-testing math question? He has no skills in math. He's a retarded guy eating a fucking bag of potato chips. What more do you want from the guy? What was the point of the promo? To boost the nation's math skills or to sell more chips?

Huzzah for Teddy Bare!

Haggard convinced he's 'completely heterosexual,' minister says - CNN.com

Haggert also recently announced that he's 90% sure he's Japanese.

Another free pass for religion

Religion has been given a free pass again. If I wilfully failed to provide my babies the necessities of life, be it water or medical attention, I'd be lynched by a mob. But if I'm a Jehovah's Witness, I'm the one who deserves an apology. That's right. Keeping my children alive is infringing on my rights (the babies don't have rights, right?)

If I wanted to end the pain and suffering of my wife, who had been semi-comatose for quite awhile, I'd need body guards after I pulled the plug. Religious zealots and other opportunistic nuts would ensure that there'd be few other stories on the evening news. Religious leaders would release statements and the topic would be discussed in a session of parliament.

Where those groups of organized insanity are now, I have no idea. Where's the "right-to-life" groups with their signs? I guess some people simply feel that one's rights begin at conception and end at birth.
