A dumping ground for my whatnots

Coke Talk: Coke Talk of the Day

coketalk:

There was a large group of ultra-orthodox jews on my flight this morning, each with a vast array of wacky hats. Some of the hats were big and fuzzy. Some of the hats were tiny and made of wood. None of the hats were allowed to touch the ground, so it took forever to board the damn plane.

Things…

I keep (very unfortunately) getting into conversations that end up focused on why I get passionate about religion even though I’m not religious and why I can’t just go with the flow and do what they would like me to do. This story so perfectly sums up why people shouldn’t give religion a free pass because it’s old or because of some idea that it’s inherently worthy of respect.

If any individual person started pitching a fit on a plane because they had to come in contact with a gender/ethnic group/nationality/body type they found distasteful they would be bounced to the tarmac and everyone else would exchange a round of “wow, did you get a load of that wild-eyed nutter?” Swap that lone crazy for a pack of sacred-crazies affiliated with a religion and it’s a different story. It turns from nutter-bouncing to “excuse me miss, would you mind removing yourself from this man’s presence, you’re gender offends him.”

It’s important for people to stand up to that, as many clearly fantastic women on this flight did.
