    What futuristic job would you be willing to do?

    Would you work...

    Probably not any of those since it'd be a waste of my talent, training and interests. The porn one is the most realistic as I could at least work on the back end of their websites or something. That said, if I were suddenly in dire enough straits to be looking for a job and any of those would...

    The one night stand culture

    As long as we're talking about "hope for intellectually honest discussion", I think it may become prudent for you to say what could convince you. We can safely conclude that "public actions", "laws", "ended careers", "rape victims being driven out of their towns", "culture that errs on the side...

    Clothing styles or items you wish would come back

    As someone that can't stand wrist watches, I picked up a pocket watch when I was working in a windowless building for a few months. As for what I'd like to see come back/ever happen... Vests and waist coats for men need to come back. Bushy and extravagant cravats (as opposed to relatively...

    I never kid about nipples.

    The one night stand culture

    Hell, in some states you have to air brush men's nipples out of advertisements. There are literally billboards for wrestling where the bare-chested men are nipple-free.

    Facebook's "new" 58 genders

    You're the one that suggested Facebook was involved in "moving" anyone anywhere. I am stating that is a curious assumption, that facebook is a reflection of the path we're on, not a window to the path of the future.

    The one night stand culture

    Ken Cuccinelli, then-Attorney General of Virginia, fought as long as he could in favor of the state's sodomy ban. Last year. He was also in the Virginia state legislature in 2003 when, after the Supreme Court struck down sodomy bans nationwide, he voted against amending the state's sodomy ban...

    The one night stand culture

    Lots of rebuttals already out there, but here's my two cents. The thing with Hollywood/media is an interesting one, but should be taken with a grain of salt. There's the whole Madonna/whore thing. There's that men and women both lie about how many people they've had sex with, men overstating...

    Facebook's "new" 58 genders

    That's an interesting assumption. While I'm sure some people would be happy with that and prefer to not identify as any gender, I think that's the minority view. That Facebook added so many is, if it's going to be taken as evidence of anything (a risky proposition), would probably support the...

    Wolves trailer

    You know, say what you will about Twilight, but at least their werewolves turned into wolves and not rubber suits.

    [February] What are you reading?

    Recently finished Shadow Ops: Control Point by Myke Cole, described as "Black Hawk Down meets the X-Men". It was okay, but I'm not sure that kind of military-heavy jargon is a good fit for me. Currently reading Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan. It's... as advertised by the title. It's...

    ... you know the thing that really irks me about this viewpoint? Kids used to (and some still do) grow up on farms. With animals. Breeding animals. They weren't sheltered from sex, vulgar animal nudity, and so-on. Kids used to have a pretty good idea of the mechanics of sex, having watched...

    Prior to the Supreme Court striking down Prop 8 and DOMA last year, Google was already extending family coverage in their health insurance policy to the spouses/civil unions/domestic partners of their gay employees. They were also comping those gay employees the extra tax burden the IRS levied...

    War on Sugar?

    Yes, increased taxes and costs of smoking can drastically reduce the incidence of smoking (and thus longterm smoking-related health problems). Whatever you may think of Bloomberg's "nanny state", his war on nicotine in New York City has drastically reduced smoking.

    That entirely depends on you. If you're a good father, then the monogamous approach is probably better for you. If you're a :):):):):):) father, then going for as many spawn in as many places is probably better for you. The same reason you'll get women settling down with the "nice guy" but...

    Do you also apply this to Intel's decision to go for "conflict free minerals"? That's a political statement to. One that probably had an impact on the bottom line. What about every advertisement ever? Remember that big ol' flap because Cheerio's had a commercial with a bi-racial girl? Or...

    If that's what you truly believe, then you should probably wonder why our society pushes everyone towards marriage. Expecting everyone to be worthy of glory is a silly expectation. And if you don't have that expectation? Then you're pushing people towards what you expect they'll fail at...

    I really don't understand the idea that a company should ever have an obligation to "stay neutral". Neutrality in a power-imbalance situation always favors the oppressor, never the oppressed. It's complicit complacency. As such, I find pleas that any company should just "stay neutral" to be...

    Pretty sure that if everyone who's ever had an affair was divorced our divorce rate would skyrocket higher then it already has. Which just proves that the reason queers like me are destructive to marriage is that after you see how fabulous we are at it while flaunting your rules (or at least as...
