Stupid Stuff

Just for fun, today we will think about stupid stuff. The sad thing about these stupid things is that somewhere over 50 percent of the population actually seems to believe in them.

"Hate Crimes" - This is the idea that we should only punish criminals if they killed or maimed or raped somebody out of hate. It requires courts to try figuring out what was in the criminal's head when the crime was committed, because if there was some sort of racial or sexual orientation element, the punishment must be severe. If it was drug-induced or the perp was just a little crazy, well that's OK. And if the victim is a white christian, that doesn't count as a hate crime, because it's perfectly understandable to hate them.

Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror. Sure, and Ahmadinejad is telling the truth when he says his nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

If we stop all oil drilling and stop importing foreign oil and switch to "alternative energy", all our political and environmental problems will be solved. That one's so ignorant it's funny.

The way to improve the lives of poor and middle-class people is to stick much higher taxes on rich people. Wierd.

Having moral values these days is evil. How dare anyone "judge" others by suggesting that adultery, homosexuality, drug abuse, serial marriage and divorce, abortion, vulgar language, gambling, etc. are wrong. Those who participate in those behaviors are not the problem, but just try to say out loud that they are wrong and you find out very quickly who is labeled "evil".

The belief that illegal immigrants are necessary for our economy and take jobs citizens don't want. It doesn't require membership in either political party to see through this big lie.

Global Warming is going to kill us all. Please.

"Separation of Church and State" is in the Constitution. Ever read the constitution? Try reading the first amendment and see what it actually says about religion.

I've got more, but it's time to pack up and head to the airport.
