This'll be short because this report of D+D (Discourse and Drainpipes) is going to be short. Very short.
In this addition it was me, Leigh and Dave. Dan was in Bristol (keeps taking people away) and Simon wanted sleep for his new job selling sky door to door. (Simon not coming means Tim is unable to come). But we soldier on. Again.
This session was basically two very long fights. One against about 4 orcs and another against an uber orc. This took us about 2 hours with an hours break in the middle for top gear. No idea how this happened cause we didn't do THAT badly. I mean I was competent. I kicked some ass. And failed to wake up Alexander the easily persauded (Simons character) then once I managed to wake him I failed to un tie him. Twice. Each. Stupid 2.
So yeah. Basically the interesting things that happened. Other than the fact Glady's is now back and kicking some ass (did 46 dmg on her first attack). I leveled twice aswell. Levels actually go a lot quicker in 4th edition due to them being every 1,250 or something like that. Maybe this is better?
So ... hows the recession treating everyone? I for one am enjoying my 60p saving on computer games. Yeah. But in seriousness I'm not someone who's going to be effected by this. I have a stable job, I live with my parents, I don't own a small business in a competitive market. I'm fine. Though I was reading a new article the other day that says there's going to be some big revisions done to the welfare state. So hopefully by the time I'm paying tax it wont be going to chavs who can;t be fucked to work and instead pump out children they don't know how to raise nor care about (but are still seen as having more right to have these children than a gay couple). I feel sorry for those children and even more sorry for the people they decide to take their anger out on.
Talking about people who don't like homosexuals having rights: gay marriage. I've pretty much said what I think on Coopers blog but just to add to that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8j2y9WtTPw .. I've just spent an hour watching prop 8 things on youtube trying to fidn a specific video btu failing. Basically the video I was trying to find was these two kids, about 6, singing about how gay marriage is a terrible thing. I thought it was pretty damn appalling. Its one thing to be against gay amrriage but using children in your ads? Using children with a jointy tune? Thats just low. But instead I found others, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75J3TN9Zzck&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YRQZwNfQ0o&feature=related.
I find the fear mungering of these ads to be insulting to my intellegence. Then remember their not for me and feel sorry for the Americans who were being insulted in such away. Even mroe sorry for those who bought it. Will gay amrriage and sodomy be taught in school because of prop 8? Probably not, but its not really about that. Its about religious groups fearing that if the government says that homosexuality is alright that that might mean society will say homosexuality is alright. And if society say homosexuality is right then men and women wont have to go through years of self mental torture trying their hardest to deny who they are. Men and women wont have to suffer verbal and physical abuse for trying to be who they are and not hidng themselves. Because if society says its ok then men and women wont be forced into "correctional" facilities run by churches nor will they continue to go to church in the hope of a miracle. Further more if the government says its ok then that means the state and church are apart, and they can't have that.
The funniest thing about this is that these ads were heavily financed by mormons. Apparently $20 million were given by the mormon church to drum up ads and support for prop 8. From Utah. Mormons from the state of Utah drummed up $20 million to appose gay marriage in the state of California. Surely that money could have gone to improving their state. Could ahve gone to improving the country, but no. No they chose to spend it ond enying people rights. Swell.
... I blame Cooper for this being longer than the title suggests. Anyway I leave you with two more videos; the Jack Black musical and another one from keith Olberman.

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. ~Lynn Lavner
