All my posts have lately been during the evening o_0 my posting senses have turned nocturnal!

Samurai Champloo was a mixed bag - it seems to be a innovative new concept in anime, but it's not very plot driven (so warns the reviews - many fillers in between the actual plot dealing with the samurai smelling of sunflowers). Hopefully it'll turn out good.

On a more serious note, I'm deeply disappointed. Through my own opinion, I feel the issue of gay/lesbian marriages has the same redundancy and idiocy revolving around moral issues as did slavery/segregation. Most are proud we managed to ditch ownage of other humans and public racial discrimination. How's this any different? Didn't some people choose to teach their children that minorities were inferior to others? We now recognise it as wrong and pretty stupid. So what is so morally wrong with having homosexual relationships? It's not normal, it's perverse, it doesn't follow your beliefs? I would be more concerned about those rabid Mormon men from Utah who forcefully put women and daughters into incestuous polygamous relationships, a majority of them rather abusive. And no, I have nothing against the Mormon religion/culture/whatever-- just some of the men's motives. That I feel is more concerning than the argument over what should be perfectly legal and far from mentally scarring. I may not know what costs come with allowing these marriages, but to me it's darned clear that female to male or same to same relationships deserve the same amount of respect.

^ Sorry for my no-grounds ranting, but I'm rather ticked at some narrow minded people that like to pick upon "lesser evils" in a random person. According to my friend, she was confronted by some girls and was asked if she was "gay." There was nothing provoking that comment except possibly her clothes. Since when does a girl become gay if she chooses to wear a long t-shirt and straight leg jeans? Ah, I suppose all righteous girls wear thigh-high skirts and cleavage (or lack thereof) displaying tanks? And her terminology was incorrect as well: lesbian would have better suited *her*. Then they pretty much followed her into the fitting room and spent time complaining about her physique and tittering about her race. Not only is that insulting to her, but the fact they used a term describing perfectly normal and acceptable people to do so.

I don't know if I should hope she lied to me or not, but if those girls really did do that, I hope the sandman gives them one night of chipping rocks in hell.
