Who's Reading this Blog?

  At this point in time, I've had 4,492 pageviews of my blog. However, since I started writing this blog, not one person has left a comment here or become a follower. I find it a bit unusual that no one out there has an opinion on any of the things I've ranted about. I'd have thought by now that at least one person would have spoken up even if it was just to tell me to go fuck myself. I don't know if the lack of comments is a good thing or a bad thing. I would like some idea as to the type of people that are reading my blog posts. Who are you? Drop me a line and let me know. I don't expect everyone to agree with my views and I know I must have pissed off a few people by now. A little feedback wouldn't hurt. Once again, this is the Right Rev.

The Soulmate Myth

  Some people believe that everyone in the world has a soulmate. That special someone that's ideally suited to them and is their perfect mate. This is complete and utter fucking bullshit. This is a myth perpetuated by dating sights and services in order to get your money. Don't get me wrong, some people do find that special someone and have truly happy and fulfilled lives with them. But to believe that EVERYONE has a soulmate is mind numbingly naive. The only guarantee in life is that you'll eventually die. Most people never find that special someone. They end up simply finding someone that they can tolerate and that will tolerate them and go on to have a fairly mediocre existence. Others, like me, just give up altogether and stop searching. What's the point? What is the motherfucking point? Why should I engage in a completely pointless and futile act that will only end in failure? If there was a point in my life when I was at my peak, it's long since past. Even at this so called peak I wasn't much. Now that I'm in the inexorable slide towards death, it doesn't make much sense to waste my remaining time here hoping to find some woman interested in spending time with me. If I'm pretty much going to be alone for the rest of my life, then so be it. Like I said before, I've done plenty of things alone.

More Shit Spewing from Conservatives: Updated

  During the Super Bowl, Coca Cola aired a commercial of people singing America the Beautiful with some of the lyrics being sung in foreign languages. Naturally, this upset some dumbass, racist, homophobic jerk off motherfucking conservatives like Rush Limbaugh. How dare Coca Cola preach unity and tolerance! That goes against everything these conservative dick breaths stand for. They forget the fact that America is a nation composed almost entirely of immigrants. One of the sayings of this country is "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of many, one.). This article sums up some of the reasons why these assholes have their collective bowels in an uproar. After you've read that article, check out this brilliant response by anchorwoman Brenda Wood.

More Religious Stupidity

    Today's Journal Times featured an article about Dale and Leilani Neumann of Weston. They were convicted in 2009 of second degree reckless homicide in the death of their 11 year old daughter, Madeline Kara. She died in 2008 from a treatable form of diabetes because her fucking stupid religious zealot parents prayed instead of getting her medical help. These negligent, ignorant superstitionists allowed this poor girl to grow weaker and weaker for several weeks until she became too sick to speak, eat, drink or walk. They ignored suggestions from the girl's grandmother to take her to a doctor. They put their religious beliefs ahead of their daughter's well being and she pays the price. If your precious beliefs prevent you from going to the hospital, that's your business. In all honesty, I hope whatever condition you're not getting treatment for kills you. The world will be better off without you. However, your religious views should not allow you to endanger others. Dale and Leilani have proven beyond all doubt that they're incompetent at raising children. Their remaining children should be permanently taken away from them and they should be locked away where they can do no further harm. That is the sanest course of action to take.

Performance Enhancing Drugs

  The moronic jackasses at Fox News have stated that baseball players should be allowed to use performance enhancing drugs and for once, I agree with them. Let them take all the p.e.d.s they want. In fact, they should make it mandatory in all sports. After all, they're paid enormous salaries to play and we should get our fucking money's worth. Especially given the amount of money we have to pay to attend these sporting events. So juice them up with steroids, growth hormones and whatever else is out there and damn the consequences! They clearly have no qualms about using them. They make more than enough money to purchase the best health insurance plans available. Sure they'd be high risk because of all the damage the drugs will do to their bodies, but so what? And if they develop roid rage, we put them down like the vicious animals they've become.

We Are Information

  Information has become the new currency of the 21st century. It seems like everyone is champing at the proverbial bit to gather intel on people. I just read an article about a company that uses sensors to track the movements of GPS enabled smartphones in order to gather information about the habits of the smartphones' owners. The collectors of said data process it and sell it to their clients so they can better sell their products and services. As this technology becomes more ubiquitous, the amount of data gathered about our movements and habits will grow exponentially. The question is how much privacy will we lose as a result of this technology? Big Brother already exists to some degree in our society. However, unlike in Orwell's fictional Oceania, this Big Brother hides in plain sight. Instead of Thought Police, we have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the like. And we voluntarily supply information about ourselves to these sights. Couple that with the information surreptitiously gathered via our smartphones, computers and tablets and the amount of information about us that exists on the Web is probably staggering. Data mining has become very lucrative for some companies and unlike precious metals, it won't run dry. This is a double edged sword we're wielding. In the wrong hands, we could end up prisoners in an information driven techno-dictatorship where our movements and information are constantly tracked and collated in order to keep us in line.

Russia's Stand on Homosexuality

  The Russian government has made it clear that it won't tolerate any pro LGBT demonstrations during the upcoming Winter Olympics. I say there should be all kinds of pro LGBT demonstrations at the Winter Olympics. Peaceful demonstrations only though. There should be pro LGBT symbols displayed everywhere. If Putin doesn't like it, he can shove it up his ass sideways with a dead cat. This fucking old school commie is going to have a hard time quelling protests with the whole world watching. Putin does have his supporters though. That old right wing religious zealot Pat Buchanan has been singing Putin's praises lately. This mentally defective product of an archaic and obsolete mindset has no place in a modern enlightened society. I get so tired of conservatives talking about constitutional rights when they're so intent on denying those rights to groups they don't care for.
