Anyone see the "guys kissing" Snickers commercial? Makes the two idiots who were so worried about their lips touching look like total fuckwads, right? Well, it seems that certain gay rights groups now have even more in common with the religious right than the religious right has ever wanted to admit. Neither understand satire.

Some of the Catholic blogs I have read lately that deal with the vaccination issue have driven me to a frothing, incoherent rage. To me, this seems like an absolute no-brainer.

I am SOOO getting out of this country and finding a sane one like the Netherlands as soon as I get my degree.

It hurts me a little inside that she uses "Serenity" quotes for her lead in. I'm sure Joss would be appalled.

The URL makes me giggle.
Also, what the fuck is up with "certain vaccines for children that were made using aborted babies (ugh!)." Because stem cells can only come from abortions.

Interesting points. To get some of the reasoning behind the vaccinations, this article from the American Journal of Managed Care is a useful source of information.

Hey, if people want to make other arguments, no problem (Debate is good), as long as they're not thinly-veiled justifications for pushing a "moral agenda." What I object to is the stated reasoning of certain religious groups that this vaccine would encourage teen sex.

Hm... And after reading the article more carefully, the "Lori" quoted is not informed enough about the vaccine itself to be taken seriously ( ... )
