I wrote all of this, but I’m using blockquotes because it’s lengthy. I’ve also removed one of my ad codes that was displaying a “Vote yes on 8/ Protect Marriage” ad that was running in the top right hand corner of POTP today. I am NOT in control of my ads, and I do NOT want that ad running on this site.
At the present moment, gay marriage is the civil rights issue of our time. For those who have strong religious beliefs and believe homosexuality is wrong are entitled to those beliefs. However, the bible also says that everyone should love each other and God will judge us, we should not judge others.
American history is deeply rooted in discrimination and it is on the backs of the enslaved that this country has thrived. But we can change this.
For weeks people have been passionately protesting for and against Prop 8 on the street corners surrounding my house. One sign read, “We Hate Fags!” while parents have their children out in droves holding signs and shouting for passers-by to vote yes on 8. It is devastating to watch children being dragged into this.
If you’re in favor of legislative hate, then vote yes on Prop 8. If you believe in love, equality, progress and the direction that this country is going in - we’re gonna have our first black president tomorrow - then vote No on Prop 8.
You know what I’d like to see amended by the FCC? Restrictions to greatly lower the number of political ads that can air with guidelines each ad must follow, mandating explanations of wtf each proposition means IN LAYMAN’S TERMS. With a new study revealing that smart people are more likely to vote, I know I must not be the only person who’s not the least bit surprised by these findings.
Poltitical ads are deceptive, misleading, manipulative and would leave any Mensa member confused. You’re told to vote for and against something within the span of two minutes, with both sides presenting its case persuasively. If they dumb things down, and don’t beat us over the head with ads, I know more people would vote.
Prop 8 is reportedly in a dead heat. Every vote counts. In summary, support love, not hate!!
There are similar same sex marriage bans in other states. I apologize to those who don’t reside in California. But for those who do, here’s two great links that explain the California propositions a little better. I know I’m not posting a random story today. I think the election takes precedence.
The Bachelorette’s DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak have broken up!
“I really felt like I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. I thought he was my fairy-tale ending. But after the show was over and we settled in to our normal lives, I slowly came to realize that we are two totally different people and it wasn’t going to work out. I still believe in love. More than anything, I want to find someone I can spend the rest of my life with.”
Gawd dammitt!!!!!! I am pissed off that I watch season after season of this trash and actually think it’s going to work out. I want a Bachelor and Bachelorette boycott. Now.
Check out Jesse’s emotional YouTube video about the breakup
On his “friend” Ashanti who he’s been dating on and off since 2003.
“That’s the thing between me and her, we just like having fun. I think it’s always serious when you can hang with a person continuously … and [“still”] have fun.”
Earlier this summer, Ashanti would only call Nelly a “good friend.” But, she coyly told PEOPLE, an engagement could “definitely [be] in the future.”
“Every other guy I’ve been out with has used me for money or sex - but in most cases they just want fame. It made it hard to trust people. After a while I had to start questioning exactly why somebody wanted to be with me.”
Just cause a guy gets tired of triple bagging it and getting vaccinated just so he can have sex with Paris doesn’t mean he’s using her.
For those who want money or fame, uh, why else would you hang out with Paris, for deep conversations or laughs?
Last week Joaquin Phoenix announced that he’s quitting acting to pursue music. The future Grammy winner is lovin’ it! Maturely scribbling on his fingers and puffin on a cig trying to be bad ass, Joaquin showed his fug at the Saturday premiere of his new movie Two Lovers.
He told the Associated Press,
“I think it’s just moving on. It’s rediscovering something else. It’s like greener pastures, you know what I mean? And so, I’m just going to try and like, I’ll just be doing the other thing … Hopefully, I will emotionally impact you with that, as well.”
I honestly hope Joaquin is okay and this all works out for him. In addition to being intoxicated on stupid, he clearly appears to be on some god knows what?!
It’s an extra sweet treat to see just how sweaty and fug they become. It’s also a bonus to find out whether or not they’re outta shape, giving us another reason to love or hate ourselves just a lil bit more. Ryan Reynolds, on the other hand, looked hawt and did a good job in the 26-mile NYC marathon.
Ryan Reynolds finished Sunday’s ING New York City Marathon in 3 hours and 50 minutes, faster than he thought. “I am going to allow three to four hours for my scary marathon face to go away and then I am going to eat my body weight in raw dough.”
Reynolds, 31, ran for Team Fox, set up by Michael J. Fox to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease.
“When I saw Michael J. Fox on Fifth Avenue, I gained about 15 lbs. in goose bumps. It kind of pushed me through the last six miles or so! I thought a lot about my father and about Michael while I was running. I’m running for those who can’t.”
(Reynolds was met by his mom Tammy at the finish line. His wife Scarlett Johansson — who was out campaigning for Barack Obama — was cheering him on the road somewhere, he told reporters.)
Reynolds wasn’t the only celeb who ran: Howard Stern’s wife Beth Ostrosky finished the race in 4 hours, 15 minutes.
