I saw this on my Facebook News Feed today.
That does not make any sense and doesn’t look like a normal George Takei post. So I clicked and got this…
Needless to say, Facebook is drunk.
Would you believe I have my love of Zelda and the Olympics – that I didn’t even watch or pay attention to – to thank for finding to awesome independent musicians? Because it’s true.

…I’m providing a link to Fox News. *shudder*
Anyway, the reason I’m linking this particular article is because I want to point something out about this judgemental dipstick, Steven Crowder.
This is what I want to point out: He’s a judgemental dipstick. He even admits that he’s judging people. That is not something so-called “Christians” should be doing, Steve. If you look at Jesus’ example – did you notice how he only ever called the Pharisees out on their sin; the ones who were “in the church” – and at 1 Corinthians 5:12-13, we are not supposed to judge those outside the church. In other words, you are only supposed to judge those inside the church – like, say, Steven Crowder for being a judgemental disptick (seriously, dude, how the heck does judging people showing them love? It just makes you look stupid and arrogant).
The other thing that you’ve forgotten, Steven, and it’s something most Christians forget, is that God does not force anyone to follow what’s in the Bible.
Let me type that again so you can (hopefully) let it sink in: God does not force anyone to follow what’s in the Bible.
He does not force any person on this earth to do anything they do not want to do. You want to wait to have sex until marriage? Great! They want to have a one night stand? He says in the Bible that he doesn’t want that, but he doesn’t stop them. Those two men want to proclaim they love each other and get married? I do not see the hand of God holding a sign saying “Thou Shalt Not Get Gay Married!”
That’s because God gave us free will. We can do anything we want. ANYTHING. God gave us that power. He also said there would be consequences to our decisions, but he won’t stop us from doing whatever we want to do. He gave us laws and commandments and principles to follow and live by, but it’s our decision, our choice, whether we want to live by them or not.
After all, how could God claim that He loves us if He has to force us to love Him? How would anything we did be of any value if we didn’t choose to do it?
So God does not force us to follow Him or his word.
And if the God of the universe – the only being with the real power to actually force you to do something you don’t want to do – won’t force you to follow Him, who am I to try to force you to follow His word?
Who are you, Steven Crowder, to force the rest of the world to live by God’s standards, when God himself doesn’t force them to?
In Tampa — y’all watch their convention? I did — the Republican argument against the President’s re-election was actually pretty simple, pretty snappy. It went something like this: ‘We left him a total mess. He hasn’t cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in!’
My opponent and his running mate are new to foreign policy. (Beat.) …After all, you don’t call Russia our number one enemy — not al Qaeda, Russia — unless you’re stuck in a Cold War mind warp.
You might not be ready for diplomacy for Beijing if you can’t visit the (London) Olympics and not insult our closest ally!
No family should have to set aside a college acceptance letter because they don’t have the money.
Now when Congressman (Paul) Ryan looked into that TV camera and attacked President Obama’s Medicare savings as, quote, ‘The biggest, coldest power play,’ I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Because that $716 billion is exactly — to the dollar — that (Paul Ryan) had in his own budget! (Beat.) You know, you give him one thing: it takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did.
We believe ‘we’re all in this together’ is a far better philosophy than ‘you’re on your own.’
No, Governor Romney, corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters. That matters because we don’t run this country for corporations, we run it for people. And that’s why we need Barack Obama.
We share responsibility for creating an economy where parents with jobs earn enough to care for their families.
Getting money out of politics isn’t an issue. It’s the ONLY issue.
If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire, if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores, if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote, if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time, if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream, and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love… then surely… surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.
Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it…and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we’re from, or what we look like, or who we love.
And he believes that when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you…you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed
Nobody in this country should ever go broke due to an accident or illness.
So some marketing GENIUS came up with the idea for the denizens of the internet to come up with their next ad campaign. This gallery of hilarious ads is the result.
Check it quick or they may pull it down.
EDIT: Not a real site, but funny nonetheless.
I am not anti-gun. I’m pro-
knifesword. Consider the merits of theknifesword. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution ofknivesswords for guns would promote physical fitness. We’d turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus,knivesswords don’t ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning theirknivesswords.

Okay, so she didn’t do it for Stroke Awareness Month, but it is kind of ironic.
Thankfully, she is doing very well, thanks to the quick thinking & action of her husband, the skills of all of her doctors, and the incredible outpouring of prayer and support from across the globe.
We’re all glad you are alive, doing much better and… have been able to bring us your humor via tweets within 12 hours of brain surgery.
I just found this online and decided to share the fun. Enjoy.

[TechSoC: Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t we have some big celebration coming up on Friday?]
[CynicSoC: Nope.

[DescentSoC: Actually, yes, we do. SoC said so.]
[CynicSoC: So? SoC’s a loser! ]
