My Random Thoughts

A collection of random thoughts. These would normally be tweets but I let you guys in this time.

Why do redheads not have souls and when was the meeting to decide that they are the people to make fun of?

Where do racial slurs come from?
Is Jew the only slur that is actually a way of referring to a type of person?
It's all in the adjectives before the Jew I guess.
"He's a loving Jew" or "he's a dirty Jew".
Why are Jews so special that people who hate them get a special term? Anti-Semitic. If you hate any other group your just racist.

Why is it called pooping? That's not the sound it makes. It would be more appropriate to call it plopping. Or maybe splashing.

Why is a mustache called that? It implies that you must have one. Why is a mustache with no other facial hair a sure way to distinguish child molesters? Do they have meetings and decide on the correct grooming to be part of the club? If so, they're awfully organized and we have bigger problems on our hands.

What would it take for me to be in a McDonalds commercial singing an R&B song about the McRib? I have dignity, but I also have rent to pay.
When did it become acceptable for there to not be a guy in the back cooking your burger? If that was sushi and they just pulled it out of a drawer you wouldn't eat it.
Why is it called a French fry? Wouldn't potato string be more appropriate?

How come I never see any Native Americans?

Who started fruits? Why is an orange called an orange and a banana not called a yellow? Was the orange the last fruit to be discovered the guy naming fruits was sleepy? It just seems lazy.
Are Hispanic and Latino the same thing?
We should research their blood and figure out what it is about them that makes them work so hard.
Then when we figure it out inject it into kids today.
Only in America can we make it a bad thing for an ethnicity to work hard.

Why is there a special name for no hair? There isn't a special name for people with hair.

That's it for now

I'm Coming Out...

For those of you who don't know an NBA player officially came out and announced to the media that he was gay, and today it is a big deal in the sports world. While Jason Collins is an NBA player without a team right now this is not a big deal. In my eyes, no one should care. Jason Collins is not the president of the United States and his private life is none of our business.
To be completely honest, I've never really understood the need for gay people to come out of the closet officially and announce it to the world. Does a straight person announce to their parents that their straight? Or how about the person who enjoys being in a book club that reads 50 Shades of Gray? What people do in their personal life is their business and that alone.
I can guarantee, in my life I've had multiple gay teammates on all my sports teams combined. Does that change the way they catch a football, of hand off the baton? No. It most certainly shouldn't affect how we look at them as people.

Here is the link to the Jason Collins article.
