On China and Alcohol-Induced-Gayness

Yes, I realize the title are, in some realms, polar opposites. So naturally, I bring them together in this one blog post.

I begin with China. I’ve been watching this whole Olympic Bonanza since the beginning (which I love, btw. Maybe because USA dominates a lot, and I like pretending that being an American somehow helps them, thereby making me a winner too, but whatever), I realized how much I dislike China/government corruption/fake gymnasts. From the whole “we let the ugly girl sing and the pretty girl lip-sync because we want her to be the image of our nation” to the “uh….our clearly pre-pubescent minipretzelpeople are definitely at least 16…here are there fake, government issued, doctored passports to prove it”, I think it shows how crazy, and potentially scary, China really is. They’re so concerned with their “national image” that they couldnt give a rats ass about the million and millions of poverty-stricken people living in their country. I would blame Communism in general, but in theory, Communism actually works. Its the execuation by unstable, corrupt governments that messes it all up. Even though I’m not into politics or government at all, I can’t help but feel thankful we live in some sort of democracy, with protected freedoms. Though I think our own country has a lot of issues (some of which may never be handled, cuz unfortunately, much of the governing body is self-serving, stubborn idiots), I think it is clear that we, on a whole, are far better off than the millions (billions?) of people around the world who are sufferering under the regimes of corrupt governments and can’t do anything about it.

In completely other news, this fun article supports one of my ultimate theories…that is, that straight people get gayer when they’re drunk, and alternatively, gay people get straighter when their drunk. Ultimately, the article says that when under the influence, you find ANYTHING more attractive. So ya…it was kinda general and I tailored it to fit my theory (which I think completely violates a HUGE rule of science…i should work on that considering my future career), but nonetheless, it was a fun article that made me laugh.

And now…..back to China for more Olympics.
