Had a good conversation the other day with a good buddy of mine regarding the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision overruling a law denying marriage to homosexual couples. Take a gander, and leave your thoughts and views below.

Bryan: ugh, some of the people i talk to online are pissed about iowa allowing gays to marry
Bryan: who cares? not like regular marriages work out so well all the time
Jason: i would agree to a certain point
Jason: the thing is it doesn’t matter if they’re republican or democrat – it’s their religious point of view.
Bryan: ah, but we allow for many religions
Jason: there’s a verse in the bible about gays i cant remember it off the top of my head but it pretty much says DONT DO THAT
Bryan: who says your religion decides marriage?
Bryan: as i see it, you can do what you want as long as you don’t try to push your beliefs on me
Jason: u have to go back in time where u got married to have kids not like today where everyone does everyone
Jason: i would agree but marriage is a religious thing and gay in any kind of religion is forbidden
Bryan: marriage is a religious thing to you
Bryan: and being gay is not forbidden by all religions
Bryan: there are christian religions/churches that allow it
Jason: it very much is. gay’s should not be allowed to get married. what pastor or father in there right mind would even go do that?
Jason: well not mine
Bryan: father, no, that would be catholic, and they frown upon it a bit
Jason: if they go by what the bible says it’s a messed up church
Jason: i’m catholic, so my mind’s not changing
Bryan: exactly – if they follow the bible verbatim they are screwed up
Bryan: that is fine
Bryan: i personally don’t understand gays, or how it happens, but if two people want to be together that is fine with me
Jason: that’s the thing they CAN be together no one’s watching over them saying no dont put it in. Marriage in my mind is a religious thing not a piece of paper saying u can save money on taxes
Bryan: that is a good opinion

A few other opinions:

• Mike Huckabee
• Matt Coles (The Huffington Post)

I revel in finding others who GET IT! Yes, Flash websites are super pretty. And they have some awesome functions and abilities. But, hey! Google ignores your site (or at best gives it a low priority). Guess no one will be finding you unless they already know you personally.

Check out Kim Larson’s post about how she improved her website’s traffic and boosted her business. How I Changed My Web Site to Grow My Photography Business.

By the way – this is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) at its most basic. If you need help improving your site’s search engine penetration and rankings give me call!

Met an interesting character last night in, of all places, a bar. Irvin Robison is a computer repairer and tech guru in the Des Moines area. Looks like he is starting up a new business providing PC and laptop repair services to individuals and businesses in the Central Iowa region.

Irvin was a very thoughtful guy and also opinionated. It was great listening to his ideas and discussing our individual beliefs. Yes, I had a somewhat deep and meaningful conversation while drinking alcoholic beverages (or at least I think we did).

Irvin should have a website up soon (and I’ll post a link as soon as I find out where it will be). Until then, if you need computer assistance give him a call at (515) 720-7618 or email him at it.robison@raccoon.com.
