An unruly homosexual mob demonstrated without a permit against a church in Boston during its Love Won Out conference. The Boston Police did nothing to clear up the crowd. They did keep participants at the conference from leaving until the mob went away. How ridiculous is this?!
As hundreds of people from across Massachusetts and other states came to the Tremont Temple Baptist Church to attend a widely acclaimed conference on recovering from homosexuality through a relationship with God, angry and enraged homosexual activists converged outside to intimidate and terrorize them.

IBM has created a new chip to slow down light. The photonic silicon waveguide slows down light to approx. 620 Mph, relatively slow compared with its normal 186,000 Mph. This will help pave the way for optical computing, which should be hitting the shelves sometime in 2007 (according to Luxtera).
Ah, who didn’t think of this years ago? Well, one day my brain and the world will unite to come up with a new idea. Perhaps it will involve lottery number analysis or trading…but some day…I’ll create something great (who knows, maybe it’ll just be kids…and kids are the greatest thing since sliced bread).

Gail O’Toole did some unspeakable things to her ex-boyfriend, Ken Slaby that should shock you (yes, they sound like porn names, but they’re real people).
Slaby [the ex-boyfriend] said O’Toole waited until he fell asleep and glued his penis to his stomach, glued his testicle to his leg and glued the cheeks of his buttocks together….nail polish….dumped it all over his head.
When he woke up, Slaby said O’Toole threw him out.
He didn’t have a car, so he was forced to walk one mile down Route 22 to call 911 and Murrysville police, Slaby said.
Wow! Remind me never to fall asleep at an ex-girlfriend’s house. I feel really bad for the woman Slaby is dating; inferably he must have cheated on her to be in a position to have his body parts glued to himself, let alone to fall asleep over at his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. Apparently O’Toole had been planning this revenge for quite some time. Of course, O’Toole says that this is their standard sexual behavior; all I know is that I don’t know anyone who gets turned-on by having their a$$ crack glued together. And I know alot of freaks. Yet another case where chastity, and leaving at a reasonable hour, would have prevented such antics.

Rootkit found in new AIM worm.
This is the first time that we have seen a rootkit as part of the bundle of applications that is sent to your machine. It is a disturbing trend.
Umm…I disagree. We saw it bundled with windows and the ‘Remote Assistance’ crap. Its only a matter of time before that is exploited.
In addition to the “
lockx.exe” rootkit file, the new worm delivers a version of the Sdbot Trojan horse, said FaceTime, which sells products to protect instant-messaging traffic. Sdbot opens a backdoor on the infected PC
Nice…well, so much for ’safe’ Instant Messaging…Guess we’ll all have to go back to IRC….Oh wait:
Added by the W32/Sdbot-ADD worm. When this infection starts it will connect to an IRC server where it will wait for remote commands to execute.
LOL!!!! Windows AIM users have been 0\/\//\/3d.

Ryan Miner is having his First Amendment Rights stripped by a Catholic University….
Ryan Miner, 19, of Hagerstown, Md., was sanctioned by Duquesne after posting his view [that homosexuality was ’subhuman’] in The Facebook, an online directory that is not related to the university.
Miner opposed an effort by other students to form a Gay-Straight Alliance group, an issue that is still being debated by the university.
…
A 10-page paper was assigned as punishment. Miner said he refuses to write it and will file an appeal.
Way to go Ryan. Stand up for your rights. Screw those liberal bastards who think that only their opinion regarding diversity is important.
Let’s all stand behind this stalwart fellow.

Apparently there’s a toxic overload going on in the bathrooms of the world.
COLGATE TOTAL
What they claim: 12-hour fresh breath and antibacterial protection.
But watch out: Conventional toothpastes often contain irritating detergents like sodium lauryl sulphate, which can cause sore gums and mouth ulcers, and abrasives like hydrated silica, which can erode tooth enamel. Total contains a glue-like substance, PVM/MA copolymer, that sticks the active ingredients to teeth. Saccharin, a known carcinogen in animals, is also found. The colouring CI 42090 (banned in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden) causes cancer in animals. Total contains Triclosan, an antibacterial agent that can in certain circumstances combine with chlorine in tap water to produce chloroform gas, which is easily absorbed into the skin or inhaled and can cause depression, liver problems and cancer.
GILLETTE MACH 3 SHAVING GEL
What they claim: The best a man can get.
But watch out: Helped by a global advertising campaign featuring David Beckham, Gillette shaving products have carved their way into the male psyche. If he thought about the ingredients, would the “epitome of the well groomed man” be so keen to promote the product? Mach 3 gel contains skin irritants such as triethanolamine, palmitic acid glyceryl oleate, three potential carcinogens (polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon), BHT, CI 42090) and three central nervous system toxins or pollutants (isopentane, parfum and isobutane).
LISTERINE TEETH AND GUM DEFENCE
What they claim: Kills the germs that cause plaque and bad breath.
But watch out: This mouthwash is 21.6 per cent alcohol. Alcohol dries and changes the pH of the mouth and throat and long-term use of alcohol-containing mouthwashes increases the risk of mouth and throat cancers. Listerine also contains a mild detergent, poloxamer 407, that is soluble in liquids at low temperatures but turns to a gel at higher temperatures (ie, body temperature). That makes it a film-former, “glueing” other ingredients on to the surfaces of the mouth for longer. Fluoride in quantity is poisonous if swallowed, and the sweetener saccharin causes bladder cancer in animals. Finally, synthetic colours, aromas and flavours are made from volatile solvents that can alter the basic flora of the mouth and may cause dermatitis.
Wow! So a case can be made its better to be ugly and alive rather than dead, but beautiful. Glad I never bought into half of that hygenic junk out there.

Apparently Anne Rice, the writer behind such intriguing tails as Interview With The Vampire and Queen of the Damned, has turned Christian…
…that same year she returned to the Roman Catholic Church, which she’d left at 18.
…
Anne Rice, the chronicler of vampires, witches and—under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure—of soft-core S&M encounters, will publish “Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt,” a novel about the 7-year-old Jesus, narrated by Christ himself. “I promised,” she says, “that from now on I would write only for the Lord.”
…
In that afterword she calls Christ “the ultimate supernatural hero … the ultimate immortal of them all.”
…
But she’s also taken liberties where they don’t explicitly conflict with Scripture.
Well, between this and Madonna’s turning to the Kabbalah…I’m pretty much speechless. Guess I’ll have to write some Godless novels and songs, just because everyone’s getting out of the business!

I just took another philosophical quiz on Moral Taboos. I found it interesting, here are my results…acordingly, I am less permissive than most, which, is kind of funny, since I am fairly open-minded. Albeit, I do find certain things to be more acceptable than other things.
Taboo - The Results
How did you do compared to other people?
Taboo has been played 10356 times.
Your Moralising Quotient of 0.79 compares to an average Moralising Quotient of 0.32. This means that as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned you are less permissive than average.
This is fairly surprising as I consider myself to be fairly open-minded.
Your Interference Factor of 0.50 compares to an average Interference Factor of 0.22. This means that as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned you are more likely to recommend societal interference in matters of moral wrongdoing, in the form of prevention or punishment, than average.
I guess this makes sense, I mean, if there is something immoral that needs to be prevented because we can’t see all ends, I recommend prevention &/or punishment over merely allowing it.
Your Universalising Factor of 1.00 compares to an average Universalising Factor of 0.48. This means you are more likely than average to see moral wrongdoing in universal terms - that is, without regard to prevailing cultural norms and social conventions (at least as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned).
Yes, being Christian dictates that there is an objective morality which social norms can not circumvent.

So I have nothing to do today, but wait for the Disaster Recovery work to get finished (well, I have things to do, just that I might be needed….but my stuff works, so I don’t see this happening).
Anyway, I took yet another philosophical quiz that involves ‘The Matrix.’ It was rather boring, except for one part where you choose a card or cards and the program tries to figure out which cards you have chosen. Interestingly, I chose two cards. The program then removes the card(s) you were thinking of. And amazingly, it was accurate the first time. I tried one more time to see where the trick is…. but it basically said I’d have to wait 24hrs.
Whacky, eh? I dare you to try it, if only to beat the system.

I took another philosophy quiz…that of a Morality Play… basically, they ask you questions about the ‘morality’ of a situation and you answer based on your own inner locutions with regards to how moral something is. Its rather interesting and showed that I had a 53% Parsimony score.
