Dear Stanley Kurtz, c/o The Hoover Institute

Saying 'Coincidence? I think not!' proves nothing. Nothing. And guess what? That is really all you have. You have data from Danish researchers regarding the divorce rate and the amount of children born out of wedlock, and guess what that tells you? Exactly what it says it does. The fact that 60% of first born children are born out of wedlock means exactly that.

And lets fact check for a moment.

1) You say Denmark has legalized gay marriage. This isn't true. We're a bunch of pussies who only have registered partnerships, which no matter what the Danish National Party tells you, isn't the same thing-

2) You say that the amount of children born out of wedlock has increased in the ten years Denmark has had "gay marriage". The results you have are from 2003. That would make fourteen years, sweetie.

3) You say that the divorce rate and the amount of children born out of wedlock are a direct fallout from allowing "gay marriage", yet the studies you cite show no evidence of this.

Which leaves us with 'Coincedence? I think not!' which is still not viable proof. In fact there is nothing mentioned in the studies about registered homosexual partnerships.

So how about you leave us the fuck alone, kthnxbai.

Much hate, Chris

There's a better rebuttal here. There is also an article in Urban about it this morning, with Danish researchers condemning the essay and the conclusions it draws.

We have tickets! Tickets! It is now set in stone that Tessie and I will be going to see the Graduate on the 7th of October. I ended paying 13kr over to pick them up at the post office, because today was the last day to pick them up at the theatre, but the theatre didn't open until 15.30 - and I was out of school at 13.15, so yeah. But I have tickets OMG!

Speaking of the Graduate, I was in at the bank earlier picking up money for my father the mobster, for our respective vacations. And I was standing there, waiting for the bank lock (time set) to go up and let me get my euros, when my phone went off. For those who don't know - my ringtone is Mrs. Robinson. I am just that lame. So anyway, I hop about a bit, before diving for my phone, which was, as it always is, at the bottom of my bag. And this little old lady next to me, anywhere between 60-80, smiles at me and says 'Oh, I thought it was my phone.'

The conversation I had with Rasmus yesterday about how I'd skipped my teens and gone straight to middle age came rushing back.

Other fun things today include a discussion about barbie dolls. We were reading a short story called Barbie-Q, and then a discussion went up about how the girls in the story pretended to fight over a Ken-doll that they didn't have, and really, considered stupid looking. So, one girl said that playing with Barbies wasn't fun without a Ken doll. I looked affronted, so my teacher asked if I disagreed. And of course, I opened my big mouth and said 'Well, I never had any Ken dolls, and my Barbies were plenty of fun.' And my English teacher, my 69 year old English teacher raised an eyebrow and said 'I don't think that would surprise anyone.'

At least my entire class was amused. It later led to Yasmin and Signe deciding that they had finally found the reason behind lesbianism - lack of Barbies.

All in all, I've had an awesome day. Awesome. But I am, however, really jealous of my American friends with NBC. I want to see the Siegfreid and Roy special too!

Sofie cracks my shit up. I'm reading old LJ entries, passing time till I'm supposed to call Freya (SHE*SHOME!SQUUUUEEEEEEEEE!) and I happened upon this day which still cracks my shit up. Basically, Sofie and I went a little beserk regarding sex.

Discussing why American condoms don't work as well as condoms everyhwere else, and coming to the conclusion that they don't know how to use them. )

I hate titles. With a passion.

I also dislike the Pope very strongly because I like to believe I'm worth something as a person, not just a babymaking machine.

Thankfully [livejournal.com profile] trollprincess is unbelievably amusing as she wanks about romance.

And in case you haven't noticed, whee! Freya ([livejournal.com profile] madfrog) is coming home tomorrow, which is worth a celebration or five. SQUEE! )

I think we're going to have a thunderstorm later. This makes me happy.

By the way, let me pimp [livejournal.com profile] selfquotes as the online masturbastion alternate to [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes. Or something. And [livejournal.com profile] hpfemslashicons 'cause I can.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] lattara deserves cookies, kisses and small kittens for generally being the sweetest person.

And, for the as of yet uninformed, porn is the new, healthier and cheaper alternative to painkillers. Truly, the squeeing does distract from the pain. And yes, I just really wanted to pimp the story because I *love* first time fics, and this is an excellent first time fic.

This has been cut for your convience. Sorry about the spam. In here there will be discussion of sex ed, and why preaching abstinence? No. )

Kinder people than me would likely pity them, but I spent a year in American health class. The word abstinence gives me goosebumps.
