Need more reason to dislike the Tea Party?

Tea Party leader says anti-gay bullying is "healthy peer pressure". Link leads to one of many sites reacting to it. I'm not linking to Rich Swier's original post saying that, because to read it you have to give the Tea Party access to information about yourself, and I'm certainly not willing to do that, not even basic things like where I'm from.

"Tea Party activist Rich Swier recently said of anti-LGBT bullying: "it is peer pressure and it is healthy." He went on to compare being gay to behaviors such as smoking, underage drinking and drug abuse."

From this site:

But, according to Swier, the anti-bullying campaign is nothing more than a sham by “radical gay activists.” He says that it’s all a part of the ever omnipotent “gay agenda” and its plan to indoctrinate school children into the so-called “homosexual lifestyle.”

They quote his original writing on it:

This is not bullying. It is peer pressure and is healthy. There are many bad behaviors such as smoking, under age drinking and drug abuse that are behaviors that cannot be condoned. Homosexuality falls into this category.

Homosexuality is simply bad behavior that youth see as such and rightly pressure their peers to stop it.

So depressing...

Professor Thistle (WoW)

Sorry for two posts in a row, didn't expect this second one to happen so fast.


Professor #3. Keen got the title pre-nerf, Dandelion and Thistle post-nerf.

This was Keen's total archaeology projects finished, before he even got the title:


This was Thistle's total once he got the title:


881 finished items without even getting the title pre-nerf, 242 post-nerf title achieved.

Need more proof that archaeology is already way too over-nerfed? I got the professor title without stepping foot into Northrend. (The Nerubian ones came from Eastern Kingdom.) I did this without doing a single high level dig (no TV/Uldum sites at all, not even one dig there). I started at level 60, ended less than 5% into level 81 (and that's with questing and dailies as well).

It just feels so silly-easy now. I can't believe Blizz is intending to nerf it further. That annoys me so very much. What, so people don't like to fly from site to site? Know what? I don't like raiding, but that doesn't mean I can have raiding gear anyway. Some people don't like PvP, so they don't get to have PvP gear. If people don't like archaeology, so be it, then they shouldn't get the generally worthless rewards from it.

And "funny" story. I now have FIVE Headdress of the First Shaman, a purple agi head piece. Thistle is a hunter, I could have used it on him... but I totally forgot that the item existed until he dug one up himself. *facepalm* He could have used that purple himself!

And now I don't know what to do with my WoW time, blah. Even with three professors and three other characters leveled 80-85 through archaeology, I've not gotten the troll sword, so maybe I'll keep digging in EK in hopes of getting it before Thistle hits 85. I don't have the Vial of Sands recipe on Alliance side yet, so I could try for that too... Or I could just hit myself in the head repeatedly with a hammer. One of those three options!

Who is Thomas Bergersen? I'm so in love!

Yes, I'm Spammy McSpamson tonight, sorry for all the posts! I really wanted to share this new music I've found.

This epic song was used in an unofficial WoW video, so I tracked it down and loved every second of it.

I traced it back to the guy's main YouTube page (check out that song featured at the top!).

But the guy does all sorts of stuff, I am so very in love with this one, it's so peaceful and happy!

Wiki has so little info on him (only a paragraph!). He does "trailer music", though I don't know if it's for games or movies or what.
