Wherein Cam is rather pissed, and other notes on stuff

[misscam]

Dear fundies whose drivel I read today,

since when am I your enemy for disagreeing with you on a particular issue? And reading about how to "trick" people into joining your side and eventually come to see the truth of "human personhood starts at conception" is not doing you any favours either. Nor is calling it an "abortion war". I'll give you that it's a tricky ethical issue about what we define as life, but here's a genuine advice for how not to chase away people from your side, as you were so worried about - don't treat the opposing stance people you have to trick, stop sniping from your trenches and get your head out of your arses.

Also, while we're at it, I don't care if homosexuality is caused by genetics, lifestyle, upbringing, having fish for dinner before conception, hormonal mix-up or what toys you played with as kids - they still deserve exactly the same rights as I do. And if your only argument for them not getting those rights is that homosexuality can't be proven to be caused by genes (which would mean there is no choice at play and you're so fond of that choice, aren't you), I rather do pity you. Because you're not getting it, are you? We're all humans, straight, bi or gay. You don't stop falling in love just because the one you fall for is of the same gender. You don't magically stop wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone because you're gay. Love is love. Why should you be denied expressing it, feeling it, just because your genes are a particular way, your parents raised you a particular way, your hormones got a bit cross-wired? Maybe it doesn't follow your particular moral standard, but there's a reason we're not all forced to live by one person's particular moral standard. It's called freedom. It's called human rights. It's called *staying the fuck out of other people's private life*.

Now I'm kicking you out of mine. Bye-bye!

No love today,
Cam

Ahem. I might've gotten a bit worked up there.

On the bright side, had the most awesome feedback EVA and am tempted to stick it up here and just watch it all day. drakyndra, I so owe you a gazillion things for causing Rob Shearman to read my fanfic, because wow... *incoherent noise of obnoxious joy*

And I'm impressed 62.3% of you flist lot would do the Tenth Doctor. 11.5% thinks I should stop making puns. Now that is very sad. I feel crushed. (Statistics are fun, aren't they?)

Meanwhile, my dear Nick/Sara shippers, "They SO want each other" on pictures of Jorja and George being cute? Don't you start with the actor-characters confusion too, plz. Fandom's being wanky enough as it is.

Also, US administration, spare me this kind of pressure crap on Norway again. You were doing some of that same dance of 'might damage relations' pushy shit before the Iraq war and Norwegian opinion of the US administration *plummeted* and we didn't do what you wanted at all. Do you just not learn, or something? I stick a certain finger mightily in your direction.

*watches news and waits for news on whether or not Norway will have massive strikes starting this morning*

Oh, and thanks for the gift, slm4gsr

Corrupting the fandom, one person at a a time. Sounds like a plan.
