Today I am decidedly UNslacker. Just for you. Somebody at our house didn't pay the AT&T bill, so our DSL was cut off yesterday morning. It's barbaric, I tell you. So today I got my butt in gear early and rushed in to the office just to write this slacker diary. You're welcome :-)
Follow me over the fold for some ranting, and Mojo!!
I am intolerant.
I have had it up to HERE with people who bill themselves as christian people, doing good works, and who then spend their time fighting against the rights of other human beings to live lives that these people see as invalid.
As I've mentioned before, I've got a number of right-wing Facebook "friends" from my high school and college days in Texas. One of them, Joann, a former Baptist missionary, has a penchant for posting screeds from groups like the Family Research Council, exhorting people to fight the "homosexual lobby". This week she pushed my button one too many times, so I posted "I am a proud supporter of the 'homosexual lobby'".
That sparked a conversation among my FB friends in which Joann was alone on the side of bigotry. She pulled out a bunch of crap about how she knows "the truth", and "everybody is lying to the homosexuals". About what, she didn't say. The statement that rung my bell was "Can we just agree to disagree?"
NO, we CANNOT agree to disagree. The idea that some HUMAN BEINGS should be denied ANY rights because you don't APPROVE of what they do, say, or think, is WRONG and UNACCEPTABLE. I WON'T STAND FOR IT, and I will point out your BIGOTRY every single time until this travesty is over.
cough Ok, I'll go back to being mild-mannered slacker Lusty now ;-)
Let's have some MOJO!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
- If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
- Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
- You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
- You don't have to comment to recommend.
- You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
- Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
- Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
- TexDem (our benevolent sponsor) and MKinTN (that's me) are not bound by the guidelines. Heh.
