feng sui question has been answered :)

Beloved has accepted backing off in the Feng Sui until he's done more research. If he reads up about it, it's precepts, the belief and spiritualism around it and think it's right and true and decides to rearrange everything because of it then I'll help him move everything with pleasure.

But I don't like the idea of him getting "Feng Sui for dummies" and half-arsed rearranging things for something he doesn't really believe in but thinks is cool and fashionable and stuff. It's kind of disrespectful, methinks, to an actual spiritual belief - especially one of a foreign culture. Kind of like putting Buddha statues in the garden as if they were gnomes.


However, we are getting an acquarium. He is out shopping for one now. Unattended.

I have the fear....


In related news - does anyone know how on goes about marketing yourself as the next Sea World?

Yes, they actually said that

Sometimes I think bigotry just rises up someone’s brain and stops every other part of it thinking - so they just get a litany of “hate hate hate hate”

I can think of no other reason for the ridiculous things the haters say.

Of course the pope is a star at the grossly over the top demonisation of gay people game on many many occasions -

But he has heavy competition. The Mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov calls us SATANIC. Satanic? That’s some old school demonising right there. It’s not actually his first time - but then he IS fighting a war against immortality. (A war against immorality? Ye gods)

And a Belgian Catholic Archbiship compares homosexuality to anorexia. Yes, homosexual sex is to normal sex what anorexia is to a normal appetite. He quickly added to correct his insensitivity and assured us he would never call anorexia patients abnormal.

A Tory councillor decided to make an -oh-so-funny joke about promoting gay rights and help for domestic violence victims: The "scream team will be conversing with the queen team". No. Just No. Seriously.

Supervisor Eugene Delagaudio, In Virginia’s Loudon county, responded to a proposal by Supervisor Stephen Miller to include GBLT people in the government’s non-discrimination policy with a 20 minute homophobic and transphobic screed including referring to trans people as “it” and referring to GBLT people as “bizarre,” “freaky,” and “fruity.” He later apologised for the “it.” (Seriously - these partial apologies? Really pointless. Really.)

Peter La Barbera, always known for his incredible hatefulness about homosexuals is lashing out at “so-called-Christrians” who aren’t all gung ho about killing homosexuals. I wonder sometimes if anyone listens to this guy - then i realise people do and I get rather depressed.


Sometimes I underestimate the level of hate out there - but the reminders keep coming. IStill - better to remember and fight than forget and let the hate go unnoticed
