I Think I’m Superman
I just can’t understand the “cultural sensitivity” towards transexuals and the “trangendered.” Here’s a case of a teacher, formerly named William McBeth, now Lily McBeth, who is now been approved to return to work as an elementary teacher. (Here’s another version of the story)Bug me not
I saw this story on the local news last night, and the news correspondent kept saying “she” and “her” in reference to Mr. McBeth. I don’t get it. HE was born male. HE was born with male apparatus (I assume), and HE was born with a y chromosome.
On a side note, this guy looks like Norman Bates when he decided to play dress up. Not a shred of femininity to be seen in him, aside from the women’s clothing.
I don’t understand how this isn’t considered to be an emotional or mental disorder. I can dress myself in blue tights and a red cape, change my name legally to “Superman” and insist that I am, in fact, Superman. That doesn’t make me Superman.
No matter what I do, or how hard I try, I will not be from the planet Krypton, even if I act like it. I can insist that everyone call me Superman, and treat me as a superhero, but it won’t change the fact that I’M NOT SUPERMAN.
In fact, if I were to do such a thing, I would no doubt be regarded as delusional, and rightly so. On the other hand, if I were to insist that I am a woman, take hormones, have plastic surgery, and change my name to Michelle, then to fail to humor me in my delusion would be considered to be “discrimination.”
Huh? So if my delusion is that I’m Superman, I’m crazy. If my delusion is that I am a woman, my needs must be considered by the rest of society.
I we’re going to indulge this stupidity, I have only one thing left to say: I’m Superman, and I demand cultural sensitivity to my identity issues!

Congratulations Trolls
I would like to congratulate the IMAO trolls for their concise, persuasive, and thorough debate on the recent post by Spacemonkey, supergenius. I’m not too full of myself to give credit where credit is due, and I must say Spacemonkey threw down the gauntlet, and you were up to the challenge.
“Rush is the Bomb!” makes an excellent point about… Well, er. Anyway, there were three others who really socked it to us conservatives on the issue of abortion.
“Daniel” gives lessons on satire writing. Sure, the information is incorrect, (i.e. satire does NOT, in fact, need to be funny) But once he moves on to the abortion issue. Wait, he never did that.
Of course, then there was “Moonbatkilla,” who makes use of sarcasm to dispel any possible beliefs we might have about- um – Ok, so he didn’t exactly stick to the topic, but that’s not really relevant, now is it?
He is followed up by “Chris” who quotes extensively from biblical passages supporting the pro-abortion stance. Well, actually I kinda tuned out as soon as the bible was mentioned. It’s just something that I do when people treat fictional works as if they were factual. I do the same thing when people cite Fahrenheit 9/11 or the New York Times.
Anywho, I would like to commend these four liberals for their persuasive arguments. I now will re-think my whole stance on the issue.

Overanalysis of the Male Brain
One of the things I hate about women is that their brains work differently from the male brain. Maybe they work better than our brains. I don’t know, but they definitely work differently. I cite the “I was going to spend it anyway” example for starters, but that merely scratches the surface.
Here’s some advice for women: Men say what they mean. There’s no hidden context. There’s no ulterior motive. Ok, so there’s a caveat. When you girls ask certain questions, many of us don’t say what we mean, we say what we think is the correct answer, but that’s another topic entirely.
I’m talking about things that we say that are our own original thoughts. Here’s a fictional but likely example. The setting is dinner at a restaurant.
Guy: Holy crap! That’s a lot of food!
Chick: What’s that supposed to mean?
Guy: Uh, which part confused you? “Holy crap,” or “That’s a lot of food?”
See now, Example Guy is confused at this point. He thinks that what he said was fairly simple and straightforward. Example Guy, however doesn’t understand that there is no right answer to the question he’s just been asked. That’s because when women ask questions, there’s NEVER a right answer.
Sometimes there’s a more highly advanced guy, who understands that the woman’s question meant, “Are you calling me fat?” We’ll call him “Sensitive Guy.” Sensitive Guy understands the loaded question, and thinks he can outwit the trap that has been set.
Chick: What’s that supposed to mean?
Sensitive Guy: No, sweety. I don’t think you’re fat at all. I think you look beautiful.
Sensitive Guy thinks he’s beat the system, but in reality, Sensitive Guy has just fallen for the trap. He’s in for Hell to pay for that attempted pre-emptive strike. Sensitive guy, you are truly stupid.
Chick: So, you DO think I’m fat!
Guys, as much as you would like to think that it’s a good thing that she’s not talking to you. It’s not. It’s never a good thing.
Ladies, the thought never crossed your guy’s mind about your weight. You’re over-analyzing the situation and applying your own insecurites on his thought process. Guys aren’t that complex.
Here’s what Example Guy meant when he said, “Holy crap! That’s a lot of food!” He mean’t “Holy crap! That’s a lot of food, for eight bucks!” He’s expressing the joy of value for his dollar. Nothing more, nothing less.
We need the help of women to please stop over-analyzing the things we say. We aren’t that complex in our thinking. There is one exception to this, and that is “Weasel Guy,” a true scoundrel that is fully actualized to the woman’s thought process. He is to be avoided at all costs. Weasel guy is notable for his ability to avoid every trap set by his female companion. He uses this knowledge for evil.
Weasel Guy is a post for another time, but avoid him like the plague. And for crying out loud, We meant it the way we said it!
