The highs and lows of commons sense..

So I was reading my local paper yesterday and came upon a letter in the opinion column. It was from a woman that was argueing that science and religion are not necessarily separate.

"What a refreshing stance" I thought, " in comparison to the usual "no god/no science" types of letters. It's nice to see some common sense once in awhile".

Then I got to Dear Abby (a long running advice column for non USians). In it was a woman asking if circumcision would "cure" a young relatives homosexuality.


And my buzz was killed.

The problem with common sense is that it isn't common enough.

Most of the time it is neither common, nor sense.

Newspapers should be censored.. or well.. biased. It's so annoying when you see some idiot talking like they know something.

I really want to see the reply she got.

Someone should tell her that since she shares some of his genes she's a bit gay. That'll scare her to death.

Well I doubt she shares that many genes with him. It doesn't matter if it's true, we just want to scare the old fool to death.
