doggiedynastyA small convo with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marisha725 reminded me of something.
On what a pastor said, AND on how Phil Roberson got criticized and nearly suspended. Or maybe he did. I don't remember because Hell, it's like it barely lasted. Both disagree with homosexuality and they all said the same thing.
To keep it short: unconventional.
AKA: it won't work.
AKA: It's not productive.
AKA: It'll confuse society.
The pastor will kick homosexuality in the face anytime since he disagrees with the idea, comparing it to "what if a KKK member was interviewed?" "Are you going to suspend him for saying what it is to be expected?" And then he says, at the end of the 2013, to "forgive him"? Why? He's just going to talk the same ol', same ol' like he's always been for years.
"Speaking the truth" as he says. Discriminatory thoughts are always perceived as "truth" when experienced so often.
Cept Mr. Roberson had to be rancorous in his words. There's also his pre-civil rights era comments. If anything was WAY too conservative or anything based in the 18th or 19th century, I'd probably be in something equivalent to a caste.
I also don't understand antisemitism. I assumed that the majority of it was also based on religion and what the Jews did in the Bible. It's almost like anti-Japan and Pearl Harbor from young people. Still, I don't agree on one book encompassing our entire world. There are some good lessons, especially in the beginning, but in the end, it's all about believing one man being the key to peace. Is that assuring?
Especially with the various pastors I see and hear talking garbage, taunting gays and transsexuals. On the other hand, I heard (and was touched by) a story about how one pastor attended his gay son's wedding, then got highly criticized for it.
Strange Question
So, on Twitter, I saw this odd question: "Who's the thug: Richard Sherman or Justin Bieber?"
Only heard the word from pop culture and it's not of good taste at all. If I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the Biebs for shit-talking a cop, drinking and driving at 430 or so in the morning, being an arrogant douche, throwing eggs at houses, etc. Of course it could've been worse.
But if I had to be really serious, and pick outside of that...
MY VOTE would have to go with these two runts who RECENTLY:
- Lured a kid somewhere, shot and killed him
- Took $80 from him
- Threw the kid in a trunk and drove off
There there was the "afflueza kid" who killed four while drunk driving and not being punished for it. Oh yeah, totally upsetting.

Date: 2014-01-31 04:38 am (UTC)That's why there is a pop culture that encompasses everything -- I think our music knowledge grows when we gravitate towards what we hear via tv, school, shopping centers, etc. Movies helped; Disney introduced Hannah Montana and many others. I think school had to do with it. And dance music easily responds to kids. Easily Bieber's world. Even Ylvis and 1D.
To be honest, I don't even remember how I got connected to MTV and how I ended up choosing specific genres. I was really into rock. Then dance-techno, then jazz, then rock and dance-techno got mixed up somehow?
