Poor Paul Deen. She is ***. Her reputation will never rebound.

Paula is a woman after my own heart attack.

Your avatar is amazing XD

I think I have a problem when it comes to buying books guys... I have all of these that I still need to read, 2 of which I got today and will probably get more the next time I'm near a book store. XD

Grats Shay^^ I actually really like the music in Nashmau. :o And the Qiqirn (or however that's spelled) are adorbz. :3


Despite the fact that her whole Southern identity is a complete act (she ain't from the south :P), I looooove Paula Deen lol

I used to watch food network like aaaall the time, I remember this one show called Paula's Party that is essentially an hour of Paula getting drunk and making men feel very uncomfortable. It was beautiful.

There are worse addictions, Ina. XD

Good morning everyone :)

Oh yes I'm sure, atleast books are relitivly inexpensive.

Not too bad, thanks :)

How is your day going?

Mine

Morning!

All yours.

Morning all you west coast peeps. :)

It's kind of a momentous time here at Vanderbilt lately. The administration is in the process of implementing a revised nondiscrimination policy that has campus religious organizations all up in arms.

Last year, our Christian frat kicked out one of its members because he was gay. This was possible under the previous nondiscrimination policy, which specifically exempted religious organizations.

Vandy is now revising the policy to include all university-funded organizations, so now everyone will have the opportunity to join the groups they want and pursue leadership positions.

The religious groups have moved the discussion from homosexuality to atheism, arguing that this new policy would allow atheists or members of other faiths to assume leadership of their organizations. In a way, I agree; on the surface, it really doesn't make much sense for an atheist to be running prayer groups or whatever.

But practically speaking, the chances of any org being saddled with leaders it does not want are very, very low. In most cases, members will still vote for their leaders just as they do now. In all other cases, leaders are selected by an even more rigorous interview process. In the end, this new policy will not have much of an effect aside from its intended purpose--the fair operation of student organizations funded by a university that wishes to make an admirable statement about diversity and inclusion.

I was supposed to wear purple today in support of the campus LGBT community, but I don't have any purple clothes. Why is it always purple ><!! I could do pink, but nooooo of course not lol

Going well, though I forgot to turn the dryer on after throwing my clothes in it >.>

Down with the religion I say!

Meh, they're not all the same. Lots of my friends are in religious orgs and they're a-OK.^^

Close to the same is happening here Carrelo. We are getting a pride week, and are in the works for getting actual funding for the student organization for LBGT peoples. I'm glad to see that not everything in the south is bad. (I'm like 50 something miles north of vandy.)

Our organization may actually even get permanent offices on main campus, which is huge for us.

(This isn't to say that everything is great here, we still have frats, mainly the black frat, that sponsor a pannel every year on the evils of homosexuality. I'm just saying that we are making progress. ^_^)

Ugh, I wonder how often they cry discrimination. It bugs me when people in historically similar situations antagonize each other like that.

Religious people are like people who use online review sites... We always see/hear bad things from them because it's only the angry ones that say anything. Most of them are more or less good people.
