PROPOSTION 8

SAME-SEX MARRIAGES

PROPOSTION 8

There are only three types or groups of people in the world! 

You can choose which party you do ascribe your loyalties to, right now. These three group are firstly, the righteous (believers / religious), secondly the perverse (non-believers / irreligious) and thirdly the hypocrites (the fence sitters / mentally uncertain / ship jumpers). 

But can we blame this lot? They seem to have a  problem to stick to their sense of morals, ethics, values and beliefs nor stand firm in their conviction, are easily influenced by others normally with dissenting view points, to end up doing things they probably would never have done whilst in their normal frame/s of mind. This is certainly not the character of a leader, thus I think such is the case with "Arnie the terminator" and so many others at the helm of power today.

FRANCISCO, California is in an upheaval because its high court recently upheld the ban resulting from Proposition 8 on same-sex marriages. But, the court will permit the approximate 18,000 unions already in existence to remain valid. That's so mucked-up, with a capital F. Yet, Arnie praises this decision, as if he cant think for himself? ... that is rather a grey area or perhaps a gay area. 

I always say "to each his own", since each will bears the consequences of their own action. For some, the consequences seem too far away in the distant future. Not phased, even if these consequences will ruin their lives, their children's future, their society, their nation and and even mankind. Marriage between a husband and a wife gives stability to the child both physically, mentally and spiritually. Husband and wife parents are role models for their children of either sex. Remove that, and you start creating a society of misfits.

America has the most sodomites, gays and lesbians in the world, the most serial killers in the world, the highest divorce rate in the world, the most single parents raising kids in the world and the country with the most religious and moral freedoms in contradiction to those of the Bible, Quran, Bagvat Gita and the Iching. And it all started with being gay.

Proposition 8 overturned same-sex marriages 4:1 yet some 1,000 advocates, supporters of same-sex marriage took to the streets to protest whilst America burns. Laws are guides for society, which can be changed at anytime due to an unforeseen problem but it appears at least 1,000 advocates are oblivious of this. However, proposition 8 is the remedy to the problem of same-sex marriages upheld by the court about a years ago. Many may find it virtually impossible to reconcile with the court's ruling that they had made a mistake to grant permission for same-sex marriages in the first place.

Pastor Miles McPherson, of the Rock Church in San Diego, hailed the court's decision for overturning their initial decision of same sex marriages in support of Proposition 8. Also stating that God didn't create the family to have two mother or two fathers, because children needs both a female mother and a male father in order to nurture their personality and their character. 

Yet some court judge sees Proposition 8 not only as a evil against same-sex couples, but as precedent set against minority groups who seeks the protection under the equal protection clause of the California Constitution. Even though Proposition 8 is the brainchild of California a number other states still allow same-sex marriages, yet others recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, but do not itself grant marriage licenses to couples of the same-sex. But numerous other states have approved constitutional bans on same-sex marriages.

Demonstrations for Proposition 8 against same-sex marriages will probably go on for a long time. Likewise demonstrations for same-sex marriages will probably never stop. But nobody ever wins, people are arrested by police, some killed in the violence, some are maimed, some are severely injured yet these very tax payers are paying for the upkeep of both the police force and hospitals. That's like shooting yourself in the foot. How about live and let live? The debacle Proposition 8 and same-sex marriages has sparked yet another, Yes on Equality, an initiative on the 2010 ballot to repeal Proposition 8.

Jimmy Swaggart the mighty televangelist said "AMERICA - GOD WILL JUDGE YOU; FOR IF HE DOES NOT JUDGE YOU, HE (God) MIGHT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH FOR WHAT HE DID TO THEM." This was directed at California the "Gay Capital of the World" because of their practices of homosexuality and lewdness with all its innovations like same-sex marriages.

Three cheers for the court's ruling to uphold the sanctity of marriage by legislating Proposition 8 and over-turning same sex-marriages.

WHERE'S THE ROMANCE?

WHERE'S THE ROMANCE?

The weekend past, I went to view the Premier of "Night at the Museum 2" and my first impression prior to entering the cinema, was that its a "Love Story" with lots of romance, purely based on the amount of couples attending, however to my dismay, it was a really crappy movie and it sucked, with a capital S. 

Thank goodness they don't make movies with taxpayers money, the country would be bankrupt in no-time. Anyway, the cinema was packed with young lovers and married couples each holding a large soda and a box of complimentary popcorn.

I was oblivious about "Night at the Museum 1" and the only reason I attended was because I was invited and that it was absolutely free. I would never have paid good money to watch such an insipid and crappy movie. 

The movie started OK until Ben S started talking and interacting with inanimate museum pieces all of which came alive through the presence of an ancient Egyptian tablet with apparent magic powers. What a lot off crock with absolutely no entertainment value.

Night at the Museum 2

All I could think of, is that this movie should have been in animation, which would in fact have given it that necessary fictional flair. Many found the movie relatively funny, there was much laughter mostly because of the Pharaohs lisp. He just sounded funny. 

Other than that, it had no entertainment value. It was really an advert for the Smithsonian, showing off its exhibits and for historical characters, most famous of which were absent anyway. There was no Hitler, but Einstein was there. There was no Caesar, but Ivan the Terrible was there, even Al Capone was there. The movie couldn't even do justice from a fictional, historical point of view.

I just think some retard movie makers have run out of themes for making movies and end up wasting hoards of investors money on crap that doesn't even have escapism value, yet they get a whopping return on investment. I'd hate to think what the quality of entertainment will become in the next 10 years, seeing they have already run out of ideas. 

It certainly wasn't made for adult viewing and certainly not for kids so I wonder who their demographic really is or was  intended to be. However, the popcorn and soda wasn't bad at all other than for the soda's sugar content that added another inch to my waist. 

SALUD, DINERO, AMOR (Health, Money, Love)

SALUD, DINERO, AMOR

Just last week, I overheard a conversation between two Spaniards, viz. Conchita and Manolito. But before I continue, I need to say I have a great affection for the Spanish language and in my opinion, it is "The Language of Love". Many may dispute this fact and echo that French is, but love will always be expressed between lover regardless of language. 

So judge for yourself which sounds best, Je t'aime or Te Quiero or Je vous aime or Te amo? This certainly does not prejudice any other world language nor its lovers. Have a look at the following love professions and judge for yourself, I love you (English) Ek het ju lief (Afrikaans) Ich liebe dich (German) Ik hou van jou (Dutch) Wo ai ni (Mandarin Chineese) Hum tumhe pyar karte hae (Hindi) Aishiteru (Japanese) etc, etc, etc... Bueno no?

However, Manolito sneezed and Chonchita said Salud (health) then Manolita sneezed a second time in quick succession and she said Dinero (money). By which time Manolita had his handkerchief out covering his nose whilst saying Gracias (thank you) which caused her to look at him very strangely and said said "estornuda una vez, mas falta la amor" (sneeze once more or you loose-out on love) Manolita replies "no mas" (no more - I can't) causing her to be quite annoyed at him. 

I think that's so cool, to wish someone health when they sneeze, much like the Germans with their "Gesundheit" or the Afrikaaners with their "Gesondheid" or the Dutch with their "Gezondheid", all of whom, essentially wish you health after you've sneezed but the Spaniards do so after each individual sneeze.

To me, health certainly is more important than money because I'd really hate the sort of life with oodles and oodles of money but with ill health. Perhaps like walking about with a colostomy bag in your hand or a tube up your nose. No, health, definitely comes before money, or rather, let me re phrase that, health first, then love love, then money. Lo siento Chonchita!
