One of dad's stupid stupid friends the other day said Katrina happened because of all the gay people in New Orleans. I should've socked him a good one upside the head, tossed him out the car and gotten it done with, but instead I just tried to debate like some kind of smarty pansy ass who likes reading books and watches PBS or something. Sometimes I wish I was Irish just so I could get away with it better. If I were an Irishman I'd just hit people in the face all day long, because there's a never ending supply of people needing to be punched. God bless the Irish.

Last night I went to Bunker, which was pretty nice. When I got out of the car with Nicole in the parking lot we noticed a really nice smell in the air, and followed the source to this little Korean restaurant across the street from the club. There wasn't a word of english anywhere on the building, so I had no idea if it was an actual restaurant or like a meat market or back alley shoe store or something. But I stuck my head at the door and asked if they were open, to which one of the ladies inside said yes to and let us in (I guess it's a bad neighborhood, since they kept the door locked until a customer would come up). Upon entry we noticed this delicious-looking sizzling platter some people were picking at. One of the guys got up and shook my hand, saying "Ah! You like Korean food?", looking really happy to see a couple complete honkie strangers from outside Korea Town wanting to try out some of the stuff you won't see at Panda Express. The service was really wonderful, the food was dirt cheap, absolutely delicious, and they give you gigantic appetizers which are included in the tiny cost for the main dish.

I ordered spicy swan soup, because I figured if I bit into a swan before clubbing, I would absorb its graceful powers which would come in useful on the dancefloor. Nicole's beef soup was too spicy for her girly tongue tongue, so we got it to go and I promised the restaurant family I'd be back again someday. I mean holy crap it's right across from Das Bunker. The entire club needs to just empty out sometime and have dinner there.

Who ARE these people? I mean, how can you wrap your mind around the idea that hurricanes happen because of gay people? What portion of these guys' brains is dedicated solely to coming up with new and amazing ways to freak out about gay people?



and OH MAN those little Korean hole in the wall places are the best. There's a couple here and they just barbecue like it's the end of the world. Delicious.

I don't know. It just boggles my mind that anyone still thinks like this. I still say punching is the answer. If we just had a bunch of Irishmen patrolling the streets looking for idiots to punch, our problems would be over in a day. Racism, sexism, gas prices, terrorism.. God, just think of what would happen if we could could invent a human cannon that could fire the Irish into troubled nations.

Irish fist brigade! Give them cyborg metal fists and a fifth of Drambuie and let 'em loose.

This is the greatest thing I've read all week.

And next time you run into your friend ask him whether he can look at the New Testament, and his claim that God would slaughter thoudsands to get at a (proportionally) few gays, and give you one good reason to believe that he and the NT are talking about the same God. And look up what Jesus said about the Tower of Siloam.

THIS is why my little rant a while back was necessary..... bleh

I've been waiting for somebody to say this. It was only a matter of time; my old church used to preach the same sh*t. I wish they'd all just take their little pricks and shove it.

Jesus Christ. I can't wait to OMG! BRAINWASH the young teens of these stupid adults into being more OMG! ACCEPTING! TOLERANT! LOVING!

The world's gonna end.
Rivkah רִבְקָה[info]lilrivkah on September 4th, 2005 09:43 am (UTC)
Btw, if anything, the gay and lesbian people were undoubtably some of the first people to *leave* New Orleans. And now? THEY'RE INVADING OTHER STATES!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Sorry . . . I get carried away. But that's something I'd like to say and see on that guy's face. I mean, instead of being all in one little city, we're spread throughout Texas, Tennessee and other states of the South where we're scarecest and needed most. OMG! It's contagious, too! ^_~

I'm half Irish (and 1/4 Scots, ohoho), I'm sure that counts. I can punch people in the face for you!

Well, I could if I weren't 5000 miles away.

So... did all the good Christians harmed by Katrina just get it because they had gay cooties?

I also read one nutjob claiming pagans and the debauchery of Mardi Gras were responsible along with gays.
Acherontia atropos[info]wave_cannon on September 5th, 2005 05:07 am (UTC)
Yes, and 9/11 happened not because of the fanatical flunkeys of some Muslim nutjob are out to get us, but because God is angry at the US for not gathering up every last Wiccan citizen and burning them alive.

Wait you mean it isn't gay people?

oh man but my tiny amoebic parasitic community said it was

Ooooo swan soup! I wonder if it was really swan, or if it was goose o.- An Indonesian friend of mine, when we were fishing once, pointed at a bunch of ducks and then went on this big tale of how he'd eaten swans. After a lot of gesturing and mimicking we finally determined that the mighty hunter had really brought down a goose-gander, not a swan XD

Ahhh, how I miss Andi Andi (his actual name. Andi Andi. He eventually changed it to Andi Sie because he got tired of explaining how it came about.)


Oh! And in Korean restaurants, bulgogi is kickass, and those little appetizers are DAMN good! Kimchee forever! And mung beans! \o/

But do not order kegogi unless you really do want to eat dog :>

Yes, yes, God destroyed New Orleans because certain men like to play with other men's pee-pee's, and we live in a world with death and taxes because some guy five thousand years ago ate a piece of fruit.

It's a pity the Christians in that town weren't good enough to offset the bad people in it. I guess I know why Christians are so against people being "different". It's because they don't want their homes and children to be affected when the storm comes through to claim their sinful neighbors.

Funny.. I heard Katrina happened because of the homophobes in New Orleans.

...

I've angrily rolled my eyes so many times in the last few days. :(

If I were God, I think I might enjoy directing natural disasters at random places just to get all the idiots in a tizzy.

"But Calvin Amoux is no kind and compassionate god! No, Amoux is one of the old gods!" XD

LOLZ. Yes, folks, violence IS the answer! XD But only when it's righteous (as in, perpetrated by people smart enough to know what's dumb).

I'm totally with you. >_>

Aww you didn't get Korean barbeque? That stuff's great. My brother got the marinade for it from Koreatown and we have the most fantastic on-the-pan barbeque ever.

I've given up on people like the one you mentioned. I just laugh at them by now.

I find it amusing to listen to "Christians" lay the blame of various catastrophes, natural, accidental or maliciously intended, squarely upon the victims, as though being nice to gays is some sort of WRATH OF GOD magnet. I mean, I read about how some people said that God hated Swedish people so much, because they have passed legislation promoting gay rights, that Our Lord sent the 2005 tsunami to kill the 10 Swedes that were vacationing in Southeast Asia at the time.
How is this exalting the most important commandment of "Love Thy Neighbor," like Jesus said?
If you ask me, Anton Le Vey was a better Christian. After all, he said, in his Satan's Bible, that, one is free to do as one pleases, provided one doesn't infringe upon another's personal space and or happiness.

Actually that's the Wiccan Rede. Lavey's whole thing was just that the weak deserve to perish and step on anyone who gets in your way.

I read somewhere about how he said that stuff like vandalism was wrong.
I must have subconciously grafted the two together.
But you do see my point, right?
Elias Emmanuel[info]distantwalker on September 8th, 2005 05:31 am (UTC)
Oh, totally.

I just think a lot of people are going to have a lot to answer for. Like how exactly this "you deserved it you sinner bastards" rationale fits with Christianity when Jesus taught the oposite.... but that's a long rant

I'm not sure whether we're preaching to the choir, or to ourselves.
