The Peasants are Revolting. And whatnot.

Ok, maybe not. But I have been pestered as of late to update this thing, so here I am.

I haven't had much to write about lately. Perhaps that's due to it being finals week, during which time my brain is on overload.

Anyway, here's a bit of amusement for everyone: So here is an article about religious groups trying to get a gay marriage ban passed in California. Which I think is pretty dumb, but that's beside the point. In fact, most of the article is beside the point. The real gem of this article is actually the picture. The picture shows a man holding a sign that reads: "Jesus Forgives Sin. He does not Except it!" If you are a grammar/spelling nazi as I am, you will have caught the reason why I was so amused by this. But if not, let's delve into it a bit:

Except:
To leave out; exclude

vs.

Accept: To receive (something offered), especially with gladness or approval

Well, as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that Jesus does except sin. But he probably doesn't accept it. I mean, I'm just saying. I have a hard time taking seriously the arguments of anyone who can't even make a proper protest sign. Seriously, get a brain, morans.

you know most of the world did not have mrs. eisenberg for 5th grade english, as did we. hmm. i wonder if that makes us part of "the elect?"

also. i like that guy holding up the "get a brain, morans" sign. especially, because he's holding a "Go USA" sign. oddly, amusing. i wonder if he's at a nascar race. . .

okay, i really should be studying.
