Yes Maam: Confessions of a Masculine Feminist

PoliticallyCorrect — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 09:53:52 -07:00

I want to grace this Women's Rights category by saying how sick and tired I am of not seeing women take on more leadership roles in the workplace. Women belong in the fields, factories, and corporate America earning more than their male counterparts while us men stay home to cook, clean, message them after a long day's work, and take care of the kids if we have any (its her choice). The best women are career women and the best men are their men who support them whether thick or thin as they work to make not just their dreams, but ours as well a reality. Only then will women be fully accepted as equals in society and the right women can start bringing home the bacon for those of us with good taste.

Don't Tell! I Won't Ask Because I Don't Care

PoliticallyCorrect — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 14:52:16 -07:00

I'm so sick of seeing gay rights popup as an issue with every single election. People bicker over it so much its almost as if homosexuals are some kind of burden on society. When I was growing up in the 90s they were marching around town telling people that they where here, queer, and to get used to it. Now people are used to it, but they keep arguing over gay marriage, and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell as if sexual orientation were relevant to military job descriptions in some way. Well I have a better policy called What's Gay? Who Cares? What's Gay? Who Cares? Is inspired by a quote from Jack Nicholson's 1997 performance in As Good As It Gets when his character Melvin Udall said to his flaming neighbor "as long as you keep your work zipped up around me, I don't give a rat-crap what or where you shove your show". Now that character was homophobic and being rude towards a neighbor he did not like, but he had a good point. As long as gay people don't act inappropriately I don't give a rat crap what they do when I am not around and nobody else should either. I am completely disinterested in the gay community for the most part because it is not unique in any way that matters. They don't suffer from a mental or physical disability capable of adversely impacting their ability to be good employees, neighbors, friends, or family members. I have never heard of gay people as a whole creating a burden society worse than all the time and money spent by straight people arguing about them. Even though I couldn't care less about how gay people live their lives in general there are a few things that I don't like about some members of the gay community. Fortunately I have consulted with the lord and savior of my agnostic faith (myself) and drafted The 5 Commandments for Gay People with explanations making it clear whey my 5 Commandments are a good idea. The 5 Commandments for Gay People: 1. Thou shalt not subject heterosexuals to unwanted sexual advances. 2. Thou shalt not make frivolous accusations of homophobia against thy critic. 3. Thou shalt be courteous and respect the sensitivities of those around them. 4. Thou shalt not disclose ones sexual orientation in an inappropriate manner. 5. Thou shalt not tolerate discrimination. The 5 Commandments Explained: 1. Reasons for this one should be obvious. I don't want gay guys trying to kiss me, grab my ass, grab my junk, or otherwise attempt to convince to me to switch teams. 2. Have you ever known a gay guy who thinks people don't like him because they are homophobic when in reality he is just a jerk. I have and it was really annoying because you couldn't call him out for being an asshole in general without being accused of gay bashing. 3. This is a commandment for everyone, but when it comes to gay people just don't act too gay if you think it might make people around you uncomfortable. For instance bringing your partner home to see you family on Christmas is fine by me, but don't make out with him in front the children. 4. Don't cause a scene when coming out of the closet unless it is absolutely necessary. For example you may choose to come out to your boss for some reason, but don't use the intercom at work to tell the whole company something they shouldn't care about. 5. When truly discriminated against by anyone who truly hates you for who you are don't take it and stand up for yourself. If you have followed the first four commandments you should have a good case for against the bigot who hates you. Conclusion What's Gay? Who Cares? Gay people are gay and nobody should care because it unless you willingly participate in or are subjected to their sex lives then you should have better things to do with your time than worry about them. Personally, I don't care unless I am unnecessarily bothered by it. If you are gay I don't care who you marry as long as it isn't me because being married to you is their problem. When it comes to gays in the military people need to shut the hell up about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" already because unless gays in the Navy start throwing tea parties on the poop deck its not going to hurt their combat readiness.

Calling Illegal Aliens Immigrants is Economically Bad

USAPatriot — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 11:53:20 -07:00

Calling illegal aliens undocumented immigrants is bad for the economy. It can never be allowed to catch on because if it does it will threaten to take jobs from hard working Americans and native born citizens in other countries who depend on illegal aliens. Just think of the hard working illegal alien reporting service providers, musicians, online merchants, and others who would suffer from people inappropriately calling aliens immigrants. Just last year I launched one of just a handful of illegal alien reporting services because I realized that I could boost my income by selflessly helping to protect America and other countries by identifying those who have no right to be in those countries in the first place as well as the people who hire them. If it were not for illegal aliens I could never have named my service IllegalAlienReport.com nor could it continue to operate without changing its name and to satisfy what? Aliens many of which can't even read the pages anyway because they are written in English. The great British musician Phil Collins and his original band Genesis could never have produced their hit single "illegal alien" if it were not for illegal aliens because "undocumented immigrant" does not have the same jingle. What kind of royalties would Genesis members make if the title of their song suddenly lost any and all relevance to the aliens they dressed up as in the music video embedded on this page? They wouldn't make much if anything. Now what about the online merchants who work hard to bring you great products like the Illegal Alien Costume which features a prison jump suit, alien mask, and green card. Now apart from the green card which makes no sense because I have never heard of an illegal alien with a valid green card that costume would go from 66% relevant to the subject down to 33% relevant by if illegal were replaced with undocumented making the jump suit lose its relevance before sinking down to zero by replacing alien with immigrant thus making the mask useless for imitating someone in a country illegally. Who would buy an "Undocumented Immigrant Costume" with a space alien mask? Nobody would and that costume maker would need to find a new job. There are others who depend on illegal aliens for their business who are less dependent on proper vocabulary like attorneys, Google, and law enforcement. Lawyers spend good money on ads containing the proper term "illegal aliens" because they know that illegal aliens will pay them good money to help them find loopholes in immigration laws. Search Google for "illegal aliens" and you will find plenty of AdWords customers bidding on the phrase. Finally, law enforcement must constantly employ new officers who would be unemployed if they were not needed to handle calls from people reporting illegal aliens. Conclusion Illegal aliens are, have always been, and always will be illegal aliens no matter how undocumented they may appear to be until they respect the legal citizenship process. Only then will they cease to be illegal aliens and become regular aliens in countries legally.

Study Shows Day Laborers Lack Online Resources

DayLabor.org — Wed, 18 May 2011 23:59:03 -07:00

A recent study conducted by DayLabor.org concludes that there is a significant lack in online resources for day laborers looking for work. Day laborers are typically thought of as low skilled workers who will do anything for a buck, but there are many skilled individuals who do manual and skilled labor during the day that could benefit from in increase in day labor resources on the internet. It doesn't take more than a few search engine queries to realize that there is little to nothing out there on the web catering to the needs of day laborers. All you find is a blend of academic research, government statistics, a few job service oriented websites, and a handful of anti-illegal alien sites. This leaves day laborers left with having to start their own site or use obsolete classified advertising services to promote themselves online. The new DayLabor.org aims to fill the online gap between day laborers standing on the corner waiting for work and employers who are so desperate to find workers that they will pick up any random dude they find on the street to do it. If successful this website will help employers connect with the labor they need ahead of time to assure them a higher level of quality work and convenience.
