UPDATED: “The Singularity is Nigh!” News
eHarmony settles with New Jersey gays. Wouldn’t it be interesting if, through it’s personality profile, the site started matching gays with youth pastors?
As I read on, I find that the youth pastors are safe. The settlement gives the NJ plaintiff $5,000 and requires eHarmony to set up a site for people seeking same sex life partners.
Speaking of gay…these these USB drives are making me gay.
Maybe the Singularity is already here and our computer overlords want us all to be gay?
Jason330 – you should sign up with eHarmony in NJ and see if you get a youth pastor. Also, I’ll take Robin Mask and Wars Man any day. I think you may be sexually frustrated so you can have Kimiku Man and Ramen Man they are both pink and Ramen is smiling just for you.
If the Singularity bids me, why not?
On the other hand…
In researching this post, I happened across this wikipedia article on Anarcho-primitivsim so maybe the singularity wants me to live a life unmediated by symbols.
Hmmm?
OMG, those USB drives! Do they sell those in stores?
The EHarmony court ruling was a bad decision.
I guess you view it like the smoking ban. People with businesses should be able to operate their business as they desire…
which brings us back to racially segregated lunch counters.
Damn boy, u on a roll.
Jason,
Actually, I can understand the smoking ban even if I don’t agree with it. This is far worse and it simply boggles my mind. This has nothing to do with segregation, Jason. It’s a private organization that’s well within its rights. Sorry, but this is where the Libertarian in me comes out. Here’s what straight people should do: Because gay sites don’t offer straight services, they should file the same lawsuit. Besides, it’s only fair.
Mike,
I’m not a partisan on this to tell the truth. Although my basic feeling is that fairness and treating people equally in spite of the fact that are Godless sodomites is probably a good thing in a democratic society.
Nemski,
I think we are going to need a “Singularity: Good or Bad?” poll at some point.
Jason,
I’m not quite sure what you’re saying in your post#8. Please clarify. If you’re inferring that because of my opinion that I’m some homophobe, then you’re full of shit.
I was making no such inference. Sorry if it came off that way.
Although, I am probably still full of shit.
Here’s what straight people should do: Because gay sites don’t offer straight services, they should file the same lawsuit.
I’d bet that gay dating sites would open up to straight people if there was a market for it. But then, if you think about what eHarmony was sued for, you’d know that there aren’t lots of straight people knocking down the doors of gay dating sites.
All I’m saying is gay people are proving the arguments stupid straights have been saying. People like Christine O’Donnell and her ilk claiming gays are going to sue churches that won’t marry them. With shit like this eHarmony settlement, who’s to say that won’t happen? Sorry, but this type of “separate, but equal” is fine with me.
The problem is the morons who filed this suit. I have gay friends who told me they’d like to wring their necks because it makes the entire gay population look dumb when suits like that are brought forth.
I’m not a historian on the subject or anything, but I think the same kind of tension existed in the civil rights movement of the ’60’s – where some wanted to take it slow and others were more militant. Even if you don’t like them, I think the militants give the moderates a bigger playing field.
RE: The Singularity. I’m enjoying just poking around. Check this out: The first intellectual property protection for a non-human designer.
I like segregation.
During thanksgiving! Kids table and adult table.
it works great
The question is, which do you sit at squishy?
Now this is funny. Apparently a pastor challenged his married parishoners to have sex every day. Apparently he only made it three days.
