To be quite honest, while I understand the sign was meant more to make a statement than as an enforced rule, it can very easily come across as bigoted itself. Racism's generally pretty cut-and-dried, but what qualifies as "sexist" and "homophobic" is vague at best, and in my personal experience (which I understand doesn't necessarily reflect on the entire pro-LGBT or feminist community) most of the people who accuse others of being sexist or homophobic primarily make such accusations of anyone whose opinion they find the least bit unpleasant to them personally. To use two purely made-up and admittedly extreme examples, 1. Jim gets accused of being sexist when he says he thinks men and women, though equal in value, are general better suited to different things. 2. Sally gets accused of being homophobic when she calmly points to passages in the Bible that make it clear that the Bible regards homosexual intercourse as sinful. These are not uncommon notions of what is meant by "sexist" and "homophobic," as they're often used more as insults than legitimate accusations. So the message the sign sends to people who don't support gay marriage or who do believe men and women are different (whether the shopkeeper intended this message or not) is, "You have an opinion that is different than mine, so you're an asshole and I don't want your business." It's not somehow less bigoted when it's the majority opinion that's doing it. Of course, I also realize that message may not have been the shopkeeper's intent, but in that case, the sign is merely rude and inconsiderate. Sure, it may have come about because of someone else's rudeness and inconsiderateness, but I've personally never felt that rudeness justifies rudeness.

Everyone where you live is at least two couches? Man, I'm super confused now.... I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Personality and appearance are nice, but ultimately, I'm more about theology. That's how I met my bride-to-be, and why we get along so well!

So I've been trying to teach myself to tongue-whistle, largely due to it's practical usefulness, and I was just wondering: how many different ways can all y'all whistle? (Using your own body, so no grass or acorn whistling.) And for that matter, what other cool sounds can you make?

All it would take to disappoint Bill Nye is for me to tell him I'm a creationist. So yeah, him.

Much as I hate to say it, I sometimes get the feeling that Rhett and Link are doing it largely for the money. Of course, now that I say that out loud (or rather on a keyboard), I can't really think what's wrong with that. It is pretty much their career, after all, so it's quite to be expected that they'd be in it for the money. Doesn't necessarily mean they're not genuine. Really, I can't think of any YouTubers off the top of my head that don't seem pretty genuine. Although I don't know all that many YouTubers....

Probably Alabama, 'cause that's where my girlfriend lives.

A couple other people already beat me to it, but I'm'a toss in my two cents anyway. There is such a thing as perfection—true, objective, comprehensive, unbounded perfection—but there is only One to whom perfection can rightly be attributed, and that is God. Perfection is more than simply without flaw; it also indicates absolute completeness and sufficiency and wholeness, as well as total objectivity. And considering that no human can experience and oversee all that is, was, and will be for all time, no human has the ability to be truly objective. There is only One who is truly objective: the One who created all that is, was, and will be, who Himself has no beginning and no end, from whom and through whom and to whom are all things.

Go for it, mate! Glad I could inspire you! :D

Lol! It's such a completely different style of play! You actually have to anticipate turns, slow down into the turn, and speed up out of it. And pretty much all boosts—drift boosts, jump boosts, and that boost you get when you trail behind someone—basically get you killed.

Anyone else played the 200 CC mode yet?

I actually recorded the whole thing in Audacity! It really is a great program. I know how to do a few things in it, but I don't know it all yes. How's the compression thing work, exactly?

Hey everyy'all! I just posted my first MLP fan fiction dramatic reading on my YouTube channel. I hope to keep a fairly regular channel going. Let me know what you think of it!
