That, never gets old! Does it? No, no it does not. Hee hee hee.
So, I’m over Sweethearts and their nefarious plot to keep me from ingesting large amounts of sugar. My new theory is that they are part of Jamie Oliver’s plan to keep children healthy. No, Jamie I do not think kids need to know what a tomato is. Are you kidding? It’s just unprocessed SAUCE. Come back to me when that shit is on a pizza.
Actually, no wait, Jamie, while I’ve got you here. Your show promised me nudity. On you. Yet, every time I see you, you’ve got your pants pulled up. I know, I know, I don’t go for pasty English gentlemen but come on. Your show said food and nakedness so I assume that means you naked covered in chocolate. Rectify this travesty, please.
I thought today I would exercise my brain. Using your brain supposedly keeps you young and makes you feel better about yourself. I think I read this on MSNBC. I need to feel better about myself.
I’m thinking about the debates I have with Danny and I thought some fresh opinions might be nice.
Of course, there is the mother of all debates:
Crop circles – manmade or not? – Discuss.
This one is always popular:
Robots – will they kill us all or harmless, useful pieces of technology? -Discuss.
Then last night, while watching Star Trek:TNG – that’s “The Next Generation” for you losers who don’t know. This debate started:
How quickly would you quit being my friend if I got this tattoo?
Lt. Commander Data – should he be a spokesperson/representative for children with asperger’s? -Discuss
Also, notice how you never see any laundry or cleaning crews on the Enterprise? What is up with that? There’s miles of carpet in that ship, yet, nothing. Speculations? Do you think they have a contract with a private company? Or maybe the ship is self cleaning?
Ok, ok, moving on to something you probably care more about. Not a debate just a general wonder:
John Mayer– asshole, idiot or both? – Discuss.
Keep it friendly unless someone is completely stoopid then smack the bitch down. Use mustachioed man if you must.

On the question of crop circles, I have to ask: how far back do reports of crop circles go back? Are they a rather modern phenomenon, or is there a history of them?
Personally, I think the question of who made the crop circles is a question of attribution. And I don’t know where to stand, yet nor do I care. If people want to attribute crop circles to alien life forms, a deity or whatever, they show their biases for what seems otherwise unexplained. Nonetheless, they make for a great tourist trap.
Next, the notion of robots killing us all does not stir me, unless they are given a programmed instinct to evolve, reproduce, and struggle for resources on this finite planet. Even then, I imagine they will come with an off-switch, or may be defused. Alien life forms, on the other hand, seem far more threatening, simply because I imagine that they will be just as subject to evolution as we are. Unless they have all the resources they need, which seems doubtful on its face, what does that mean for us? My prediction trends toward the possibility of genocide, because I don’t think humans will react well to aliens (us vs. them)… and their coming in peace is less likely than all other possibilities, especially given that their coming here first implies a power differential, which I don’t think many religions will particularly enjoy. Mercy, mercy me.
No comment on Data as Asperger’s spokesperson. That’s nearing John Mayer levels of word salad, and I’m not about to touch it. As for the Enterprise and its cleaning, I imagine it is regularly beamed off the ship, or collected into large lumps of coal-like substance and analyzed for gold and precious minerals. “Who’s got me gold?”, etc etc.
Finally, John Mayer is an idiot asshole, but he’s not paid to be much else than a guy who can play guitar, look cute, and say really stupid things so he can apologize for them later, thereby upping his celebrity. Bad PR is PR, nonetheless. He didn’t kanye a Taylor Swift, so “what’s the big deal?”. But really, to say ‘my dick is a racist’ indicates, to me, a man who has become quite fearless of the consequences of social life. Cartman-style bullshit. All I think he was saying was: ‘because I identity as a rich white guy and my society has historically given opportunity to my large yet select in-group, I am thus less likely to identify with, socialize with, or date women of other races as a matter of my continuing to be sheltered in my fame and in-group… and I reinforce that by sticking with what I have known to be ‘right’, easy, and good for me’. Or something. But why do we expect more out of celebrities? It’s not as if we cherish them for their moral authority. We cherish them precisely because they are fallible… and at many times, make us look good in comparison.

All good points. And a good answer to the space cleaning question. Except now I’m wondering where they beam it too – Earth or a star base? But that’s not really something I need to spend too much time on.

Topic #1: Some Crop Circles are manmade and some are from an unidentified source.
Topic #2: Robots, or really just technology in general, WILL rise up against us someday!
Topic 3#: I don’t really have an opinion either way on Data from TNG being a spokesperson for children with Aspergers. However, if he was speaking about something I would stop to listen…so maybe it’s a good idea.
Topic #4: The ship is obviously self cleaning.
Topic #5: John Mayer is a huge asshole idiot…and douche-bag!

p.s. I think Gary Numan still serves as a great spokesperson for Asperger’s. I mean, he actually has it. Data can only simulate it.
