@Kanga:
My parents don't agree with gay marriage (they were ranting about it earlier), they say it's because it's a typographical oxymoron, it's like allowing "funerals for the living". They state marriage is matrimony in the sense of wedding, mater means mother (parent) and -monium means to be engaged as a parent, therefore matrimony is a parent-child bond and naturally same-sex couples cannot have children so it is an oxymoron. Non-matrimonial marriage, or should we say "other kind" of civil partnerships would work with same-sex couples but matrimony means absolutely nothing to them as they cannot be bonded as natural parents.
I see their point, the legalization of gay matrimony does seem to destroy the original religious concept (also, it seems the founding religions were anti-homosexual). I don't know what to think about it, personally, tbh, I do think it should may be called something else, though, seeing it affects the feelings of those religious (as it violates their terminologies, morals and traditions).


What gets me is that people go out of their way to care for unnecessary things to spark unnecessary hatred, although it's not so much opinions that makes a bad person as their negativity towards making and largely pushing such opinions for things that really need not concern them (since it doesn't affect them directly). Society's various needs are shared, compromises need to be made, of course, the majority is a weight to give more favor, too (that's political) but the minorities should be respected if they're not affecting the majority's core needs (especially on level of survival; safety, health; and comfort).

if you did your research, you would know that marriage does not have a religious base. It was used by societies in the past for economic and cultural reasons. Marriage has never been a religious concept, that is a relatively new idea perpetrated by churches.

Not as the ceremony of matrimony, though, and that's not my opinion, also my dad is a 60(something) year old history enthusiast, non-biased and my mom is a witch so she knows all about witch, pagan, etc, traditions by esoteric teachings.
But even in tribal ceremonies like that by pagans, it was a symbol of maternity to be binded in what was called a knot.
Marriage is only one type of ceremony and that is a Christian-invented ceremony based on the Judaist tradition, and the word is from Medieval CofE English, a man would pay to be wedded to a wife (this was transitioned to giving rings, eventually) as to invest for their children's future and that became a legal lock which is known as "wedlock". Try not to confuse civil partnerships in general those may have very different words and meanings, marriage is a very specific cultural thing, even if people use the word loosely to suit their own interests these days. You could say if you're not religious full stop, you should obtain a non-Christian civil partnership, because if there's nothing spiritual in it for you, why'd you do it in the name of Christian tradition? It only spoils things for Christians, and to admit, that is unfair.

This is a place for venting, not debating. Please stay on topic.

Enough snow already!!! We just got one of the biggest blizzards in history, there is no need for any more of that awful cold stuff!!! I hate driving in it, removing it, generally being outside in it, especially now that most of it is covered in ice!

now I'm pretty sure that I was just a "hit it and quit it". I don't even know why I expect people to have genuine feelings for me

It's one thing to have studied and still fail, and another to have studied but didn't get to do the exam.

  For the past 2 weeks I've been studying my tail off for a exam that would allow me to enter into a bilingual school. This would've been my first time in a bilingual school, all the othwrs have been only spanish. Today after coming back home from jogging with some friends, I see my mother on the table looking all upset. Before I could even ask she opens her mouth saying that they not accepted me, just because of one low grade in spanish. **censor** hell! Spanish isn't my first **censor** language! Also, how the **censor** can they send a letter SIX FREAKING DAYS EARLY SAYING THAT I'VE NOT BEEN ACCEPTED!?!? I HAVEN'T EVEN TAKEN THE F/ING EXAM! COULDN'T THEY'VE SENT IT TO ME LAST WEEK? Damn it! It's not easy trying to handle school work, their projects and exams, at the same time trying to study for that test and attend to boxing practice. Cause GOD!, who dafuq would like to get mashed-up in the ring during a sparring session, not me!

But don't worry, I'll have a little chat with them this Monday.

I'm really fed up with people who think the verb "to judge" is all negative. Ever heard of bad criticism and discrimination? Yeah, those are the negative forms of the word judgment, whereas praise and commendation are the positive. "To judge" sits right there in the middle. Judgments can be good or bad in nature.

So the next time I feel someone is annoying, I'm not going to just suffer being around them because it would be seen as "judging." I'm going to go by that and leave them alone. Is it wrong? Does that make me a bad person? No, I don't think it does. Go ahead, vilify me if I'm wrong. I don't care.

I fail but I could be so much better at what I did if I actually put my mind to it, if only I put my energy into improvement instead of getting depressed and angry with myself.

I decided to be open about being a fur on facebook and left a link on wikifur on what the furry fandom was. This was the biggest mistake of my life because now i realize my friends like me more and accept me more than my family. And not only that but my sister, whom is open minded in every aspect and help the LGBTQ community, is a bigot against furries.
