Work related fun incident #99: Gang fight outside of Tim Horton's. Gun involved. Not shot off however, and boy, did the police ever pile on that sumbitch. As I was telling David, Toronto has this funny quirk when it comes to gangs. They go after their own races. Blacks rarely shoot whites, for example; they're too occupied with trying to kill each other. There's something slightly tragic about that. We also have a number of vicious Korean gangs where my parents live. My parents love where they are, it's safe and quiet. But I have a Korean friend who won't set foot in that area for a million dollars. It's a funny old world. Aaaand, the city strike is over. People are slapping their cheeks in dismay over how much garbage we, as a city, actually produce. Well, good morning! Any peon who's worked in food or sanitation services will tell you that we're not just wasteful as a city -- human beings are, by far, the most disgusting creatures on earth. Pigs are cleaner than us. We're wasteful. Consider something as simple as buying a drink in a plastic cup. You drink the sweet, sweet nectar within and you chuck the container into (hopefully) a garbage can. Containers like that are high in volume. It adds up very quickly. Same goes for, say, buying a CD Player. Tons of packaging for one dinky product. Those of you who work in restaurants...how much garbage goes at the end of the day? Right. Countless bags. Animals aren't like that. We're the only species that vile. The solution? It's obvious. We all give up our posessions, rip off our clothes and go back to shitting in the woods. The Ontario Courts decided yesterday that gay marriges can be registered. I work with a fellow who has Down's Syndrome. Nicest guy in the world, even if he's slow to the plate. He's very religious. Today, a copy of the Toronto Sun was in front of him at break, which he happened to glance at. The cover picture featured... "Why are there two women kissing?" The woman who actually owned the paper took it away very quickly, but it was too late and we heard all about the Bible's condemnation of gay couples. I didn't want to get into a debate with him. He's a very simple guy, and I like him a lot because he lives a simple life with simple pleasures. I almost envy him in that manner. And frankly, it was the first time I ever heard him use his religion to judge anyone. But I did mention the Bible condeming gay couples and okaying selling your daughters to slavery at the same time. I don't think he heard me. Or maybe he just ignored me. I know a lot of gays. Most of them were terrified of coming out, and tried to "fix" themselves with normal relationships. What ensued was misery. Gay, straight, whatever ... everyone's entitled to some damn happiness. The world loves to stomp on balls. Having a companion is nice. If you're gay, you're gay. Jesus isn't going to "cure" anyone. Homosexuality is biological, and it's probably there for a good reason. One theory I heard about mentions that 1 in 10 people are gay, so maybe it's Mother Nature's population control. 1 in 10 not procreating equals a big savings in the Human Department. I just hate watching lives get ripped up because a child tells their parents that he or she's gay. Religion is about spirituality, but too many people reserve it for judgement and put it before life. When the time comes, I doubt I'll want to know anything about my kids' sex lives anyway, straight or homosexual. Well, I guess as a parent it would be my responsibility to have the "talk" with them. Not that they'll listen. They'll do what I did when my parents tried to talk to me about sex; scream and run away. But there's no birth control like a mother who threatens to destroy you if you come home pregnant.
