I don't get it

I haven't posted here in a long time, and I doubt if anyone will actually read this, but I have to say something about the recent gay marriage bans that passed.

I. Don't. Get. It.

Why? Why would you keep two people from getting married? What do you care? Even if your deity says its wrong, it doesn't affect you in any way. Your church doesn't have to marry them, and the government can't make you. You don't have to get married to anyone. It doesn't impact your current marriage. Why would you vote for this?

I don't know. You must have greater faith than me, because if my god told me to oppress a group of people, to deny them their rights, to keep them from happiness, I would tell my god to piss off. And, I think that any god worth their followers would be happy with me.

I guess its because I know that 40 years ago, I wouldn't have been allowed to marry my husband in a lot of places in the US, because we're (gasp) not from the same race. Maybe that's why I'm so sympathetic to this problem. Or maybe its cause I'm a flaming liberal.

Or maybe because I think people should be able to try and be happy.

They fight crime!

This is a website that randomly generates a phrase, then ends with, "They fight crime!" Sometimes, the results are just too funny. Observe:

He's a war-weary guitar-strumming astronaut She's a wealthy renegade nun with an MBA from Harvard. They fight crime!

He's a globe-trotting native American master criminal with a passion for fast cars. She's a violent paranoid former first lady with her own daytime radio talk show. They fight crime!

And my favorite:

He's a superhumanly strong umbrella-wielding matador in drag. She's a scantily clad mute traffic cop who hides her beauty behind a pair of thick-framed spectacles. They fight crime!

Hi-larious.
