Here is the story.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden Mar 31, 2006 (AP)— A Swedish court has imposed a 20,000 kronor ($2,600) fine on a woman kennel owner who refused to sell a puppy to a lesbian. The kennel owner, who was not identified, had initially been willing to sell the woman a puppy but changed her mind when she found out the woman was living with a lesbian partner, according to Sweden's discrimination ombudsman, a government watchdog who filed the lawsuit. The Nacka District Court outside Stockholm issued the ruling on Thursday, the ombudsman's office said. "This is an important verdict," said Hans Ytterberg, who heads the ombudsman's office. "It is important that these incidents are tried in court."
I think it is f*cking ridiculous that a store owner can’t decide who the hell they want and don’t want to sell to. It is not the f*cking governments position to butt their big ass nose in where it does not belong. But I guess that is their job. This kind of shit happens everyday in America. Just like in a lot of cities around here it is illegal to smoke in a restaurant because of the city ordinance. That is such bullshit. If the store owner wants to sell food to nasty ass, cigarette smoking, lung cancer wanting dumbass that is his business. And if I do not want that crap blown in my face, I will eat elsewhere. But it is not the damn government’s responsibility to dictate who I can sell a puppy to. Sounds like the Swedish government is as screwed up as ours is. I’ll give them George Bush and a six-pack for whatever they have to trade. Land of the free my white hairy ass. Later.
I am turning this blog into an advice column. But there is going to be a twist. I will have help in answer your questions and solving life’s biggest problems. There will be two of us responding to every question and situation. But I will warn you up front. Do not ask a question you do not want to know the answer to. You can put your name or leave it anonymous. Just leave the question in the comments or e-mail me. Let the games begin.

Cell phones
Sitting in the office this morning, and the office phone rang. Apparently one of my fellow co-workers used his cell phone from the library requesting toilet paper. How far has technology come? Think about folks like my grandfather, Preston. He is in his 80’s. He has seen a lot of changes in his life. I always try to get stories out of him from his past. But to go from no TV, phone, and a crapper outside the house to having a cell phone to get toilet paper delivered in the same building is unbelievable. And to have that happen in one lifetime is really amazing. I can’t even fathom were we will be when I am 80. Later.

I made this last night. After I saw the one yesterday, and I just had to have one. The one I made seems to be larger, but I like it. The welds would have come out a lot better with a MIG or a TIG welder. I just used the old wire-fed welder at home. It worked. I hope to use it this weekend on the bar-be-que pit. Later.

The grinning idiot clinging to Jesse Jackson is Cindy Sheehan... the sob sister protesting the war at Bush's ranch, who lost her son in the war, the same son she gave up in her divorce when he was 7 years old.
And by the way if you wonder why she has so much free time ... she is going through another divorce right now and guess what? She is giving up custody of another son. Later.

NETA
Headed out this Sunday to the NETA conference in Memphis, TN. It is being held at the Peabody Hotel in the downtown district. I will be returning the following Friday. NETA stands for InterNational Electrical Testing Association. The InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA) is an accredited standards developer for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and defines the standards by which electrical equipment is deemed safe and reliable. NETA writes the standards in which we perform our job. Once a year they have a conference to discuss numerous topics and changes of the standards. By attending, I will earn continuing education credits which are required to maintain a level three or four certification level in the eyes of NETA. I am currently a level three, and won’t be eligible to obtain a level four until I have at least ten years in the business.
Kind of wish it was in the summertime versus now with Chris and Cheryl in school. I would have liked to taken them along. Later.

Taliban Gas Man
It appears I will be adding a few more places of business to the “boycott list”. The “Bronco Stop” and the “Shell” station both of Moss Bluff are currently selling drug paraphernalia. Mainly water bongs. It is sold for “tobacco use only”, but give me a break. No one is going home and putting pipe tobacco in a two foot tall bong attached to a three foot hose and smoking it. There must be some loophole in the law that allows these assholes sell this shit, but there is no law that says I must shop there. And I won’t.
The “Shell” station attendant last night was wearing a turbine. Almost all of the people living in North America came from immigrants at one point of their life, but none of my family or ancestors are known terrorists. So don’t give me that hypocrite bullshit line about complaining of immigrants in America when I am one myself. Speak the language or get the hell out. Later.

Carpet-muncher sues for child support
The following is a news article that I found interesting.
“A Swedish man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple has been ordered to pay child support for their three children. In the early 1990s the man, now 39, donated his sperm to a woman in a lesbian relationship. She had three sons, the oldest of whom is now 13 years old. Although the man signed a document confirming he was the biological father of the children, he told the court the women agreed he would not be involved in their upbringing in any way. But when the women separated, the biological mother of the three boys demanded child support payments from the man. He went to court but lost the case and the subsequent appeal before taking the matter to the Supreme Court, the highest appeals court in the country. The Supreme Court has confirmed the earlier rulings, stating that the biological father is required to pay child support to the mother of the three children he indirectly fathered.”
It serves this fool right for getting involved with this type of situation involving those types of people. That is right. I said those types of people. If God intended women to marry women, then he wouldn’t have put the sperm in a man. I think, make that I KNOW any and all forms of homosexuality is wrong. And on judgment day, the carpet-munchers and dick-smokers will realize that also. Don’t get me wrong, it is not my place to judge any man, woman or freak-of-nature, but I am simply stating facts retrieved from the rule book. Later.
