The longest distance...

Sometimes I think the longest distance in the world is the 20cm from your head to your heart. Sometimes they just can't seem to communicate, creating the biggest confusion in the world, and there's nothing you can do because you can't seem to decide which one is right.

Maybe our stomach or foot should start having a say in what we do... at least it would break the tie.

The face of the earth...

...and how to drop off it.

Have you ever felt that way? Ever felt that the world is too complicated and that it would just be easier to drop off the face of the earth and disappear for a while?

I'm feeling that way right now. Maybe it's because I'm drawing near the end of my trip and I really don't want to go back...

Maybe it's because people have expectations of me, and I have expectations of the world around me, and expectations only bring disappointments...

Maybe it's just because it's raining and I need some coffee and a bit more sleep.

All I know is that I wish I could drop off the face of the earth right now, and be gone for a while.

Discrimination, racism and special treatments...

I just read this article, and it shocked me. Read it and come back here.... :)

Since I know most of you will be too lazy to actually go read it, this is the article in a nut-shell:

"A Christian street preacher has been arrested and charged with a public-order offence after saying that homosexuality was sinful."

I'm not here to argue the merits of the question, if homosexuality sinful or not. That's not the point of this blog post. The point is this: If he had been saying that LYING is sinful, or MURDER, or STEALING, would he still have been arrested?

Since when do people get arrested for proclaiming their personal beliefs? What happened to freedom of speech?

If he had been preaching about lying, I, as a liar (aren't we all?) could've gotten offended and said "Hey! Why are you calling me sinful? I'm gonna put you in jail!"

Why is that different than saying homosexuality is sinful?

I realize that I'm opening a can of worms here and some of you are going to start throwing stones at me, but really, why is it that gays, and blacks, get "special treatment"? Why is it that if a white person gets in a fight with another white person, it's just a fight, but if it happens to be with a black person, all of a sudden, it's racism?

Let me make this clear: I'm not a racist. In fact, I don't even see what's the big deal with skin color anyway, in my opinion we're all human, and that's as far as it goes. The same goes for sexual orientation.

What really annoys me is that in giving people this "special treatment" we are actually singling them out and that's a form of discrimination! Denying a person their rights, because of skin color or sexual orientation is discrimination and it's wrong. But giving them special rights because of the same thing is also discrimination and it's ALSO wrong!

So as far as I'm concerned, that preacher should not have been arrested or charged (he has been released on bail). I don't agree with what he's doing, but his freedom of speech is much more important than any bruised ego or insulted liar like myself, or adulterous or homosexual person out there. Toughen up! You're human, people will insult you, but only if you allow yourself to be insulted.

Disclaimer: That's my point of view... and I claim my freedom of speech to say it all. If you don't like it, you can comment, email me, or stop reading my blog. Your choice.
