Religious Liberty and Equality in the US

File this under "Be careful what you ask for, because you might just get it."

With people fighting to get the so-called "religious liberty" and the ability to discriminate by using their religious freedom as an excuse, along comes the Satanic Church that will demand their equal rights and freedom. Let's just see to what extent those who fought for religious liberty are willing to tolerate another religious wanting the same thing that they have.

In my book, these religious liberty is simply a smoke screen used as an excuse to exercise their bigotry, homophobia, and intolerance. After all, there are many other activity that are contrary to their religious beliefs that they tolerate. Anyone checking if those straight, heterosexual couple getting married have already had pre-marital sex with one another? Last time I checked, Christianity prohibits such a thing, yet no one seemed to have a problem baking a cake for those weddings.

Toys 'R Us In NY Times Square

With Toys 'R Us shutting down its business, I realize that the last time I stepped into one of its store was many, many years ago when they opened a huge store right in Times Square in NY City. It was so big, there was a Ferris Wheel that you can ride right in the lobby.

I took pictures.

It didn't stay opened for very long. How could it? You need to make a lot of money to be able to afford the exorbitant rents in that location.

BTW, this was taken in April 2001, just a few months before the horrible events of Sept. 11. I'm sure that event severely hurt business for a long time.

Norwegian Air Plane Carrying 60 Plumbers Had To Turn Around Due To Broken Toilet!

I tell ya, you can't make these things up! I mean, what are the odds that a plane carrying  60 plumbers had to go back due to a broken toilet on the plane?!

"It is correct that DY1156 from Oslo bound for Munich was forced to turn back to Oslo because a fault was found with the toilets on board. The aircraft circled over Hedmark to burn fuel so that it wasn't too heavy to land," Fatima Elkadi, a communications officer with the Norwegian airline told Dagbladet newspaper, as cited by the Local.

But this isn't just the tale of a plane that didn't reach its destination. There's a twist. There were actually some 60 plumbers on the airplane with broken toilets, all of whom were on a business trip with their Norwegian company Rorkjop.

It definitely made for a hilarious story!

There are many funny moments on the Graham Norton Show, but I can't think of any to top this one. It just shows that you just never know what would happen on this show.

Im sure this can get a lot worse, but isn’t this bad enough? How does any rational individual defend something like this?

Donald Trump Undermines Marriage

OK, so we all know that Donald Trump can't keep getting married to just one woman. But it is highly amusing that he is also helping to destroy other marriages.

A new study is reporting that there is an increase in couples splitting up due to their disagreement over Donald Trump's policies and presidency.

The survey included 1,000 participants nationwide, and what it found isn't particularly shocking to those of us who had political squabbles with relatives over the holiday season. According to the results, 22 percent of Americans know a couple whose relationship has been negatively affected by Trump's election, while 24 percent of Americans who are in a relationship or married report that since Trump was elected president, "they and their partner have disagreed or argued about politics more than ever."

Whether intentional or not, the FACT of the matter here is that Trump presidency is causing the nation to disintegrate and fracture.

It is funny that many people make claims that gay marriages "undermine" traditional marriages, without offering any shred of evidence to back such claims. Yet, here we have clear evidence that Donald Trump is undermining and even destroying marriages.

Where are those proctecting-the-sanctity-of-marriages folks now?
