You're on the internet. Basic encyclopedic knowledge is at your fingertips. Asking a question that requires no expertise, deeper insight or specific point of view to answer is just showing laziness. A trait generally perceived as negative.
Whether that's something you care to be associated with or not is purely up to you, but don't be surprised if somebody calls you out on it every now and then.

Methinks you're taking a simple question on the internet a tad too seriously.

Besides, Arx's answer was satisfactory. Next door Neighbour wife beater. Gotya.

Being stuck at home, not able to go anywhere because my mom's sick and then being too tired myself to do anything at home besides sleep and idly surf this forum. Also that the sole computer in the house is too crappy to run DF. And I upset my girlfriend by blowing her off on my day off just because I was too tired to engage in active conversation. All of these things together make me sad today.

That was a metaphor, which I can't tell whether you spotted. He's the 'president' of one of my national neighbours.

Also, so many people sick, which is related to my own sad. People are such delicate and complicated machines, which we dedicate so much time to the destruction and prevention of destruction of.

I spotted it, heh.

And indeed, we are too fragile. I suggest eating rocks. You are what you eat....right?

[WillowLuman]

I dunno, after seeing what it did to my dog, I would not recommend eating rocks.

[scrdest]

Goddammit. I'm awful at studying. And I'm probably gonna have to retake the exam for the dumbest possible course from the entire semester now.

Well there are benefits to being gay. I mean, you never have to worry about getting pregnant or getting someone else pregnant.

[TD1]

Though, some would see that as a negative.

Depends on the person.

Well, not really. If you want a kid you can always adopt or get artificial insemination etc.

This college coach meeting hit a little too close to home.

"You have a good mother- she doesn't scream at you, insult you or beat you against a wall, or does she?"

Also, my mom talking, again, about how the iPad obviously is the reason I'm so distracted all the time. Even when I'm not using it.
And my mom talking about how the children in my school aren't being educated properly, "One girl even did a presentation about the benefits of being gay!"
I'm pretty sure I was at that presentation, and I recall it being about how you should respect gay people.
It's nice to know the presentation went from, "Hey, these are people. Perhaps we shouldn't insult and hate them?" to, "We are going to brainwash you to give you teh gays!"

Eh. I think that presentations like that do tend to go too far, but I agree with the core premise of not just going out and persecuting gays. I personally do find that education tends to be onesided. Brainwashing though? And "the benefits of being gay"? That's just paranoia and bullshit. I wouldn't recommend confronting your mother, at least not right now. Just take everything into consideration and try to pinpoint what you believe. Then think about why. Then when you have it down and reasonable, consider whether it's worth talking to your mom about or not. As per the iPad, all parents feel that way. And not for no reason. There are significant findings that indicate upcoming generations are becoming increasingly different, largely due to the influence of technology. And not all of the changes are for the better. But what it probably comes down to just with your mother is that she's either concerned about your future success, which just going on what little I know she shouldnt be, or she wants to spend more time with you. Either that or it's more paranoia about societal change. Try to empathize and if that fails, then try to stay focused on your own success and be passive towards your mother. If none of this advice helps, or if you find passivity to be indignant, which many do, try to find better advice. Ultimately though, your relationship with your mother will probably be your decision. Chances are, since you're in college, you've already made yours so the only thing I can leave you with is my hope that things go well.

That's a bit naive... There are situations in which gay people get people pregnant. My life is the result of one. 

EDIT: There's also situations in which gay people can get pregnant too.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Also reworded my first comment slightly for more clarity.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Cappy, better to edit your posts instead of double or triple posting.

Right, sorry. Should've added it all into one post when I got sniped. Moving on.
