I used to be one of those people who sneers at cell phones. Not because people talking on them pissed me off, but because of the awful ringtones. They’re not so bad nowadays. Mine screams loudly then issues an obnoxious chainsaw noise. Something from the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, I believe. I’ve given up on trying to have it as anything else, as every time my dad borrows it, he changes it back to that.

And it's all completelty justified, of course.

Oh wonderful. Just stop and take a moment to think about yourself.

Photo The debates I seem to get myself into most often these days are on the subject of gay marriage.

On the one hand, many religious people claim it goes against religious rules – but on the other, with the separation of church and state, it seems a given that people should be able to marry whomever they want. The freedom to follow any religion also comes with the freedom to ignore religion – or certain parts of a religion. So how do people think they have any right to tell anyone who they can and cannot marry?
