Inane Ramblings        “What is this?” you may be asking yourself. It’s exactly what the title says and if you don’t know what ‘inane’ or ‘ramblings’ mean that’s just too bad because I don’t really feel like defining them. Anyway, I’d like to address something about this site, well actually about its patrons. The counter says 140 something, people, and that’s means I should have a hell of a lot more signatures in the guest book. Why don’t you people just sign it? It just takes a few seconds. And also, I’ve recently heard some ludicrous comments about my page sucking and that it didn’t have a cool pic like the Matt Holm speech page. The person who said this is probably quite mad and an idiot (you know who you are, Mr. Chris M.) and if you see him tell him to go to hell or make some disparaging remark directed toward him (to his face of course).        Now starts the content. First off I’ll rant about Berrardi. What a half-witted teacher. She’s called my house four times this year telling my parents I don’t do my homework (yeah, she retracted the no homework thing). Recently, she’s been asking my parents if I could stay after school and, of course, my parents say I will (which I won’t). I think she’s so persistent about trying to get me to do my homework because she has a need to exercise authority over someone. This need probably spawns from a an inferiority complex, meaning she feels inferior to her peers, or, most likely, the realization that she is the worst teacher in the school. One of these two cases must be true because I see no other reason for a teacher to give a damn if a student who does quite well doesn’t do any homework. She will not succeed in exercising authority over me.        The world’s going to end and we’re well on our way to making robo-pocalypse (a phrase I’m coining right now meaning an apocalypse by robots (you better not steal it)). What I mean is that Honda is making this new robot named ASIMO. They say that “ASIMO walks forward and backward, turns corners, and amazingly, goes up and down stairs with ease. All with a remarkable sense of strength and balance.” Well, it certainly has AIEBO beaten. Some other features of this end of humanity are “unprecedented human-like abilities” that have been honed after 15 years of research and development.  It can also “recognize faces, carry loads and even push wheeled objects.” If that doesn’t have the potential of being the beginning of the end, I don’t know what does.         The Catholic Church, the most successful cult-like entity in the world. An interesting fact is that these oh so distinguished masters of morality are under scrutiny because their disciplinary action toward sexual offenders within their churches. In the archdiocese of Boston it has been revealed that children have accused more than 70 of about 700 priests of sexual abuse, which is more than ten percent. The hypocritical hierarchy of the church has silenced stories of pedophile priests by paying damages secretly and relocating offenders to other parishes, where they are free to commit these crimes again. For the church to allow this is a contradiction to its preaching of prohibitions on consensual adult sex. Cardinal Law apologized for these inconceivable injustices saying children had been unintentionally endangered. What the hell? How can these judges of humanity make such an obvious mistake? To deprive a child of their innocence in that way an then proceed to cover it up is an unforgivable mistake. And what the hell are homosexuals and confused guys doing in the business anyway? As a gay priest one would have to preach against their life choice, which would wear on one’s sanity. Those that are uncertain about being priests are constantly pressured by the celibacy they have imposed upon themselves, leading to sexual deviance. These horrible crimes should not go unpunished and all officials that allowed it to transpire should be imprisoned or harshly disciplined in some way (Martin Luther got excommunicated for less than that).        Those are all the topics for today.
