Traditionalists are lower than Gonorrhea discharge

My intention is for this to be a short essay, about a small subject, that is causing a big aneurysm to form in my brain. We'll see if it ends up that way, can you now see that editing is really not important to me at all? Yeah I don't read these things after I write them, big surprise. Anyways the problem that I am having, albeit a recurrence a thousand times over, is tradition. The circumstances which have prompted this particular aneurysm are the protest of Keith Ellison, the first Muslim congressman's wish to say his oath accepting his position with his hand on the Koran rather than the bible.

The funny thing is that Ellison has another thing going for him in this quest, he wishes to say his oath on the Koran which belonged to Thomas Jefferson. The argument is that this will break tradition, but it doesn't get more “american tradition” than Thomas Jefferson. So representative Virgil Goode of Virginia I say to you, you're an idiot.

Honestly though my rejection of his tie to tradition isn't based on the fact that it was Jefferson's Koran, Come on, you know me better than that, my gripes go much deeper. My problem is with this fact of tradition in general (I know I alluded to it earlier) Honestly though was swearing on the bible ever supposed to be a tradition? I'm not even going to bother looking this up, I'm going with my gut feeling, you know, truthiness* on this one. Anyways, hear me out. The idea of swearing on the bible is to say that if you do so, and you act against that oath you would be, in essence acting against that thing that you swore on. So maybe the first group of people who did so were Christians, I guess it would then make sense for them to swear on the bible, if its close and dear to their hearts, that's what I want them swearing on. But what about the people who are not Christian? I don't want them swearing on a bible, because to them its like swearing on a turkey sandwich, they have no ties to it, so swearing on it means nothing. If you're a Muslim I'd rather have you swear on the Koran because obviously it means something to you otherwise you wouldn't call yourself a Muslim. If you are not a part of a religious organization, such as I, I would rather you picked something else which is close to your heart. I would swear on a picture of my mother for instance. To me swearing to the Koran or the Bible would be like swearing to Green Eggs and Ham.

So to you Mr. Good, take your head out of your ass. Your dissent seriously just makes you look like a fucking idiot.

Anyways this essay obviously has no relevancy, because swearing an oath to serve and protect those that you represent is really just a silly formality, right american government?


*Truthiness is a word created by Steven Colbert, who is one of my few heroes

Death Toll, ON THE RISE

Since the Iraq study group papers came out a few weeks ago it has been the goal of democrat congressmen, senators, and journalists galore to try to get George Bush to admit, as did the papers, that we are not winning the war in Iraq. Well he finally did (kinda), in a turnaround from the November election's “Absolutely, We're winning” he now says “We're not winning, We're not losing.” First of all we must realize that George Bush is a complete idiot, I'm sure that we are exactly “tied” with the Iraqi's. Damn another CAT game! Seriously though what could not winning, not losing mean? Is it that we killed a whole lot more of them than they've killed of us, but we just can't seem to make them stop hating us, like the Vietnamese? I certainly hope so! Lets see we entered Iraq in 2003 so by Vietnam standards the US should get sick of getting its ass handed to it in about 2018. Gee by then ill be in my early thirties, aging to the far right of the spectrum and be ready to support the war!

What is more absurd is the mindset that we could have ever been winning, nor could the Iraqis. Lets be honest with ourselves we have a meat grinder in Iraq, it's top of the line, can grind up more meat than any other, unfortunately it takes about 10 billion dollars a month to power it. The Iraqis also have a meat grinder, it's older, American made left over from the cold war, its cheaper to run but can't grind up as much meat. The meat that they grind up are the bodies of the American and Iraqi soldiers. The money that they spend running the grinders is supposed to feed their people, keep them healthy and educate their children. Instead the people are hungry, dieing of disease, and the children's education is being replaced with brainwashing nationalism. Don't think that I am just describing Iraq either, these things are happening right under our noses. Our raised up to the sky, “I see no evil” American noses.

I hate to be all “wimpy” about this but it is just impossible for any winning to occur in war. I hate death counts, it's what kept American support behind the Vietnam war for so long, We were winning! Or were we? Are the Vietnamese children any different than the American children? Different from the Afghani children, Iraqi children? I bet if you put a child from each country in the world together in a room they would play as if there was no difference. How could it then be ok that we are killing children in Iraq now and setting them up for years of hardship in the future (depleted uranium, minds, bombs, weapons, general instability) when we are so hell-bent on protecting the children of this country. If a child goes missing in Indiana the whole country goes on alert looking for that child, very few of us know that child, we just care because they are an innocent being and they deserve to live. How are Iraqi children any different? They are born into the world just like ours are, born ignorant of the worlds problems and prejudices. Ignorance is not only bliss in the eyes of children it should be a picture of God to us.

“Its going to take a while for the ideology of liberty to triumph over the ideology of hate”- Bush, speaking to press encouraging support of another permanent expansion of the military. Are we really going to be able to teach people out of the habit of hate with the use of hate? This really does put the final piece into the puzzle. Bush has now lived up to Reagan's prestige as the worst president ever. Economics, corruption, ignorance, and war mongering....

In an effort to try to be more legal about this blog the title is a lyric from a song by The Casualties. The random quotes throughout are from these news articles on truthout, Pentagon wants $99.7 billion more for wars and Bush calls for larger military

Fox News: Military Draft: Good for stock market and good for America!
I shit you not, this was the title of a show that I saw while watching the new. They were comparing world war II to the present and showing that the draft did such a good job back in the 40's raising the economy, why not do it now?

Why not? Ahh, seriously you can't figure out why we shouldn't start up the DRAFT again? Am I living in a nation full of fucking idiots? (Yes) Here's an important question, is it good for the 18-24 year olds who are actually going to be drafted? The answer of course is yes! You will get a yes from many, many old men who have been in the military before, they say that its a great learning experience, that you will never find anywhere else. Just out of curiosity how much did the draftees learn that died in combat in World War II? For those that did have time to learn something, how much did it matter after all of their blood was spilled out of their bodies and their hearts stopped beating? It is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. For those that choose to do it, its just that, its their choice. For those that have been tricked into it after being fed lies, I'm sorry. As for forcing us young people to put our lives on hold and in horrifying danger, to fight a war that has nothing to do with us, No thank you.

I would love a chance to tour the world, see some new views and learn some new cultures. I just don't want to take part in the destruction of these things while I'm doing it. Can't I just do what I want to do in this country? They've restricted us enough already, the “free country” slogan makes me laugh. Most of us can't afford an education without going deeply into debt. Kids get tortured with tasers because they don't whip out their ID immediately when they're not doing anything wrong anyways. Their satellites can probably see us through our roofs now. Re-instating the draft would just be the keystone to it all, we would formally have no rights left. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Those are all really hard to do when your body explodes because of a car bomb.

Granted it is very unlikely that the draft will be re-instated, but what if it really was. What would happen? The protesters in the sixties did an impressive job the last time the draft was in effect, but the movement slumped into a pile of garbage because most of the protesters were doing too many drugs to remember what they were fighting for. Could we even hold out as well as they did? There certainly doesn't seem to be any unity today, and this shit is getting pretty bad already. If our situation gets worse will the young people of this country band together against these fascist policies, or are we all just too brainwashed from too many years of booze and conservatism? I am trying not to lose faith, but if something like the draft went down, I would be very worried...

Gut wrenching...

This is a little against what I usually use this blog for, but that in itself is more than enough reason to do it, I don't want any expectations on my formats. (Goddamn it!) I found this video last night or so and was completely amazed and shocked. I have found that some of the most creative shock inducing art will come from the type of people that you would least expect. This is a music video from a "thrash metal" band named Slayer. Shock value seems likely for a thrash metal band, creativity like this, maybe not so much. Anyways watch the video, don't worry if you're not into the metal sound, I'm not either. The first time I listened to this I hardly even heard the words, that being said however, watch it twice the words do add a lot to it. It's a little gross at times, get over it. Oh and pay special attention to the last few seconds....

Apparently the embedded video was screwing up the layout of the whole blog...so heres a link instead......Link

Maybe we can stop this insanity soon?

Hi My Name is Minority and I've Been Under-appreciated for Too Long...

I vote. It doesn't count. Why should I bother? What I mean by this is when elections are being out and out stolen by political parties such as that little incident in 2000 my vote continues to have no significance. In 2004 I stupidly voted for Kerry, I had no interest in the guy, he's nearly as stupid as Bush but my fears of the splitting the liberal vote and giving the election to Bush won me over and I voted democrat. I forgot about that one little point however that the state of New York has been voting democrat for years and will for years, so it doesn't matter whom I vote for, my vote is already cast for me. That's great, you know how that voting thing is supposed to make me feel empowered and all-american? It doesn't.

You see neither presidential choice will ever excite me because in order to get a freaking majority vote under this democratic system you have to be so close to the center that you can't tell who you're voting for. I'm sure a good chunk of the country would feel this way, and would probably vote for politicians other than the Democrat and Republican if they felt they had the choice. How many times have you heard, "That's just throwing your vote away?" Is that right, should you be forced to vote for someone that you don't want to rule your own republic and represent your country in the global world? It seems a sham to me, I know that I will never be in this "majority" (quotations because I kind of just said that I don't believe that it really exists) therefore at times I feel as though my government is pulling me around, much like its tyrannical. I can voice my opinion all day just like J.S Mill tells me I must do as the minority, but I will be lucky if I can change one mind on one issue. Sure social change has occurred but only after exhaustive efforts have been put out by the minority. It seems as though at some points that the giving in of the majority just occurred when it was good and ready to do so. Should it really have taken thousands and thousands of protesters to end legalized segregation? Shouldn't it have just struck us as wrong right away? It seems so obviously wrong now but it was a tireless effort of a minority just to get an institution ended that was blatantly against the constitution.

So we have this government that we all seem to be slaves to, with limited choice of who we want to rule over us and all. We choose the representative that doesn't seem to suck so fucking much as the other and they make all of our decisions for us. These people then extract money from us that they use to fund all the programs that they choose with very little oversight by us as the donors of the said funds. Sadly all governmental action can be traced back to money, without money the government can't do anything. Money is truly the root of all evil but if put to a proper use can be the root of at least some goodness. It has been said that money can't buy you happiness, that seems true. In a governmental standpoint however happiness isn't the end that we are looking for. The democratic government was put in place for the sole reason of giving its citizens the options that they can not give themselves. In essence beyond the life of cave dwelling, human beings are not self-sufficient. Governments set up by the people allow for the regulation of building, transportation, etc. we all know what the government does, and all of these services help keep us in cooperation within the borders of our country.

Beyond the services that are provided to us it should be obvious that the government could be doing other things for us that they are not, and could do so without stepping over the borders of privacy that we (for good reason I think) hold dearly. Many of these services are constantly being brought to the forefront of political discussion including universal health care, welfare reform, increased funding of primary and secondary schooling. These systems however seem to be pushed aside without much attention being applied at all. Privately it seems that the people in power are probably laughing at our meager attempts at getting our money distributed in the way that we want.

The point that I have been trying to make, using far to many words is that this republic style voting is never going to be fair. Possibly if there was a chance of 10 or 20 candidates for each election it would be more fair but they would seemingly all be about as far apart politically as the two that we have now. It seems that we would be better off voting for the tool of these politicians we must half-heartedly put into office. This tool is of course as I said before money, money is the single most important tool to any politician. If we as citizens could just gain control of where we wanted our tax money to be spent we would enormously increase our power as democratic citizens. Voting could be completed after the general elections in which each citizen gave their input for each of the taxes that they pay (local, state, federal) as to what proportions they wanted where. It would be an enormous undertaking to figure out the percentages in the end, but would it not be worth it in order voice your own opinion on the country and the world rather than the person's whom you voted for?

This system would of course not be perfect, in a perfect system everyone would be satisfied but unfortunately at least with current knowledge that is impossible. It does however bring up the power of the minority and allow it a loader voice than that of a single speaker on a soap box or as this new generation seems to take....blogs....

All of this talk of money really does make me sick though, you know?

Pride Will One Day Kill Us All

The American flag is supposed to be a direct symbol of America, that's why people put so much crappy pride into it. That's stupid. It's a piece of cloth people, get over it. Beyond this fact however i have repeated it here many times, there is yet another little quark about this symbol. It's a horrible symbol of America! Red for blood, white for purity, blue for justice. Purity, justice? Am I hearing this correctly? This corporate whore that we call America. I elect that we create a better symbol for this great democracy. Since we are none to shy on the blood concept I think this attitude calls for a plain all red flag, with maybe a nice backdrop of an IRS form 1040. Kind of a nice positive symbol that says “we'll suck you dry of your money while making you kill, for as long as you can keep from dieing yourself”

As for the way that we must treat our flags in order to not get dirty looks from old WWII vets, this does not symbolize the way America works either. If we treated the symbol of America like we treat the people of America we would have to drop it on the ground, kick it, scuff it, burn its corners, rip it, never fix it, and leave it to rot into oblivion. I will treat that piece of cloth with respect when this country starts respecting itself and other countries. When people aren't unnecessarily hungry and sick in the world's most prosperous country. When people are equal and the poor don't have to work themselves to death trying to get themselves a piece of the pie when the rich already have the whole thing. When color stops mattering and true personal compatibility takes over. When the lying and deception from the people we set to protect us stops, and when the misappropriation of funds gets changed from making bombs to kill children to making food to feed children.

That's bare minimum. I shouldn't be worried about how my government is going to ruin the lives of my friends, family and I everyday, I should be wondering how my government is going to help me tomorrow. Remember? The government we put in place here was to protect and serve us, not the other way around.

Pride is their tool. It is how they get us to do the unthinkable. Our military is filled with men and women who have killed tons of innocent people. Most wouldn't kill people here at home, but feel that its ok that they are doing it for their country. How does this country deserve the right to kill innocent people anymore than each of us does individually? I really don't think it does, but the stronger the pride in this establishment, the more people are willing to put there lives at risk doing the unthinkable, and that's disturbing to me. I'll hold my pride thank you very much.

I fear nothing more than pride, as it has seemingly infinite control over us.

P.S For the statement “America's society is great it's the government that is fucked up” which I will almost certainly get from someone. I would like to say this, that's a lie. Americas society it largely made up of racist pride-filled jerks. I'll give society a 40% approval rating. I'll give the government a 1% for those random good things that accidentally slip through the legislature.

Hey carny this ride sucks give me my money back

I don't mean to get all depressive on here, but I'm going to anyways. This topic also has very little to do with what I write this blog for, but then again maybe it has to do with everything in this blog. You see I'm setting off on my 16th year of formal education, very close to being finished with a part of my life that has taken up 75% of my life to date. I just can't help but as why? And I mean about fucking everything!

Why do we work 8+ hours a day? Why do we train for 17 years just to do it? Why do we work more than 50 years of our lives away? We continue to build up our lives more and more with increasing amount of refinements that which we consider necessities, but at what cost? Do we have time to enjoy them before we die? Its like getting your very own puppy and not ever playing with it. What's the point? Many of us will spend most of our lives working to pay for a house that we can call our own. Why should we? After a hard days work you have merely a few hours to enjoy that house and the rest of the time is spent sleeping in it. You can sleep in a shed. Why bother?

People are living longer! Oh are they? I see tons of obesity, drug dependency, and diseases that continue to become stronger? How much longer do you think we can hold out this living longer trend? Theres already prediction that it will go the other way in a matter of a couple generations. Life will get shorter, and its already to short. We're killing ourselves to lavish ourselves to death. The longer we work the shorter our lives will become. You can work from the stroller to the wheelchair. It's life!

Speaking of death and destruction and the premature death of us all, how about that little game we like to play where we just go out and kill each other? I wouldn't mind if that stopped. Life is short enough without getting your brain blown out with an M-16. Eighteen year old kids in War deserve to die about as much as Star Jones deserves another piece of cheese cake. Now I'm off topic...fuck you....

Basically what I'm saying is death sucks, but not living life sucks harder. But do we even have the chance to live life, or are we just living under an illusion of what is really good for us?

Fucking Think for Yourself

I've been on this topic lately called religion, its been floating around in my head a lot and at times spewing out of my mouth like fire. It's occurring to me that my hatred for organized religion which I find to be growing in me more and more every day is actually only a side effect of a bigger dilemma I see this world in. I think I would actually consider this problem and epidemic. The problem is faith, not just any faith because we all have some otherwise we'd have put the guns to our heads long ago, my problem however lies with a special kind of faith. Blind Faith. From now on this should be called "faith for idiots."

Faith for idiots consists of sitting at home reading your book, be it the bible, the Koran, or any other holy book and believing every possible thing in there with no questions asked. Correct your mom and dad and pastor and religion teacher all seem to be really nice people, but did you ever consider thinking outside the box? Possibly considering other people ideas comparing them with the ones of your religion, maybe formulating your own? Personal hatred can stem out of peoples inability to see outside of the church, that is not a newsflash.

The problem is, is that there is no perfect religion. Every one has contradictions within itself and each is made out of fallible people which make up a fallible network. If for instance Islam had all the answers everyone would be a Muslim, it only makes sense if all of the puzzle pieces fit together it would be stupid not to be one. Unfortunately Muslims don't have all the answers and neither does anyone else, I know I don't have them but I'm satisfied with that. Reading one book and feeling that you have all the answers makes about as much sense as listening to one person talk, who happens to be in the kkk who tells you "niggers is bad" and you going out and spreading the word around to the whole world. You have to think for yourself first, why are they so bad, do I have any evidence? Hmm just an afterthought.... kkk:blacks, Christianity:gays?

Mahatma Gandhi once said when he was asked if he was a Hindu "Yes I am, I am also a Christian a Muslim a Buddhist and a Jew." Gandhi realized the core values in all of these religions were the same, love and peace. Therefore he realized that fighting between two religions that have the same values is retarded. All religions can be right and all can be wrong simultaneously. Your faith doesn't have to be the same as your best friend, nor your spouse. Faith is a personal thing, but for the sake of the sanity of the world, believe what YOU feel is right not what one books says. Explore, ponder, consider, and be willing to evolve, and lastly stop fucking asking me when the last time I went to church was!

An Unquestioned Democracy Will Inevitably Become Tyrannical

I will never call myself a patriot because I never plan on swearing allegiance to any country, unless of course the perfect one comes along. On the other hand I find it ironic when I am called unpatriotic when I bash the workings of this country. I have a hunch that the flag waving, parade watching, anthem singing super patriots are missing a very important part of what makes up "being patriotic"

Sure anyone could blindly follow a government and feel that it is doing everything just perfectly, but we all know that its not true. Humans are fallible and they will never be perfect, and when you put these humans into a government they tend to be even less perfect. There are a lot of things about the American government that are just plain fucked up, but at the same time we have some pretty cool privileges that come along with the package too. One of these being the right to free speech, even in elementary school the most one sided conservative peace of shit teaching establishment ever, I learned that if I wanted to call the president a goon I could because I have that right. That is not completely true however when society tries to bring itself together so strongly that exercising that free speech becomes unpatriotic.

I hear all the time "what's the problem with Bush wiretapping phones, If you don't do anything wrong there's nothing to worry about" The problem is that it's your right to privacy that they are infringing on. The more you allow them to do this the more rights they will try to take away. We only have so many rights separating us from fascism, do we really want to be like Nazi Germany? Is that really the direction that we want to head towards? I want more rights, not less and I fight for them.

I can't help but think that the more civil rights that you exercise on a regular basis the stronger a patriot you are. I once read on a bumper sticker that "the highest form of patriotism is descent" and I can't say that I disagree. Descent simply means questioning, questioning if things we are doing are morally right, and if they're not, fighting to get it changed. That's what democracy is. Democracy may not be the all time, answer to all our prayers, perfect system but it just might be the best thing we can do right now. We can choose to use it, or lose it, I choose to use it.

Don't get sick, capitalism says you can suck its left nut.

The other day I was blessed with an infection in my eye. I can't say enough that I am glad that I still get health insurance from my parents. I do feel horrible however about the poor bastards that don't have it, and worried as I only have a couple years before I have to get my own. Health care in this country is so fucked up, I know I've said it before but this infection was a prime example of how capitalism is killing the American people. The doctor I saw prescribed to me medicated eye drops, two tiny little bottles of medicated eye drops 5 milliliters a piece. The grand total for these pieces of crap that in the end did no more than saline solution...$168. I can't even imagine if this was actually a medicine that I absolutely needed and didn't have insurance. I decided to crunch the numbers to find out how ridiculous this price actually was. At $168 that is $16.80 per milliliter, put into terms of 20oz mountain dews thats a $9,928.80 bottle. Somebody is making too much money and it is making my brain bleed. It goes like this folks, the pharmaceuticals raise there prices, so the insurance companies raise their rates, so employers drop their policies and the employees have to pay for the full prices of medicine, or they die. Greed doesn't work for everyone, there's always a losing side, and they have children that need to eat too.

I've heard the argument over and over about why America's capitalist economy is the best system that there could ever be. Unfortunately I must be dumb or something because I can not for the life of me understand how that could be. If its so high and mighty why is it that some people don't have to ever use the same toilet for 2 shits in a row but other people can't afford to eat? It's not that the poor person isn't working as hard, they're actually probably working much harder. So how is it justified that the basic principle of capitalism, that you earn more money the harder you work, doesn't even begin to work out?

My oh so favorite quote as for why capitalism is the best will always be that “it is the best economic method because it uses people's inner most pull, greed.” I was told by my high school economics teacher that greed rules the world, and without it humans would still be living in caves. I can't argue with that, but at the same time I think its important to point out that if we didn't also have the ability to control our greed we would still be eating our young. Greed might very well be a central part of our minds as humans but we have also evolved quite a ways since our caveman days. Just like the Geico commercials point out, cavemen are stupid, should we really be basing the system that allows us get food and medicine on a cavemanian way of life? Do you think maybe we should be looking to evolve a little bit, maybe towards not allowing the children of our human race to starve? I'm not to keen on competing for anything, especially when its resources that sustain the lives of people. There's is plenty to go around if we can just learn to share.

Sharing and Caring it can be fun.

There's a state named South Dakota? HA! news to me...

Well I guess there is, and boy are they trying to fuck things up. Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. Oh what a hot topic, I hate talking about it myself because its misuse even makes me sick. However a few misuses can not be constued into a total failure of a quite beneficial system. In most cases the fetuses that are being destroyed a being saved from a not so great life because their mother was not ready for them. Abortion isn't birth control, but it is a backup if birth control fails. As I have said before telling teens not to have sex makes about as much sense as telling them not to eat, its not going to work and they're probably going to die if it does.

My main problem with the pro-life movement is that the main power house still lands in the hands of the males. Ya know the 50% of the population that will never experience childbirth, or have to worry about it. Thinking completely selfishly men can easily say that all conceived children must be birthed but thinking selfishly has never really worked out that well. Women play an extrordinarily important job in our society and because they do not have as strong a hold on the political arena, the men making these laws need to take into consideration the needs and wants of them. Yes I realize there are women in the government, don't fuck with me.

As for not making an exception for women who are victims of rape I can very easily become angry. I ask supporters of stringent no-exception right to life programs, how would you like it if a man tied you down and injected his parasite into you? A parasite? Wow did I go too far? I think not, an unwanted child, who was created by force, who will now feed off and deteriorate your body for 9 months and then depend on you for moral, phycological and financial support for upwards of 20 years. Its hard to take on that responsibility when you planned on it, let alone love a child that was concieved through hate. You "no-exceptions" assholes need to open your fucking eyes.

The idea of Abortion sickens me but the idea of lives being ruined because parents are not ready sickens me even more. Children learn by example and if they are conceived when their mom was 12, chances are their sex life will start off early too. That's the facts, besides the fact that immature parents who don't know right from wrong themselves will have a very hard time teaching these things to their child. I think the saying "If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a baby" says it all.

Next chapter:
What happened in America before Abortions were made legal? Oh thats right they occured anyways only more dangerously and mothers bled to death often when they had them done. Just because somethings illegal doesn't mean it stops, it just gives you assholes a clear conscience because you're not allowing it anymore. A clear conscience while mom and baby are now dieing together. Well good thing your ticket to heaven is golden stamped, or is it?

Ain't it funny that the people who want financially insecure mothers to have their babies are the same people who want to cut funding to help them out?

We'll be laughing at you all the way to your grave

NEWSFLASH: The Muslims are not ignorant mountain gorillas. I know that might come as a surprise to some, but for real, they are people just like you and me.

Recently there has been a lot of commotion over some Dutch cartoons of the prophet Mohammad with a bomb strapped to his head. The Muslims are pissed, and the rest of the world is laughing at them because of their 'ignorant' reaction to it.

To start off, it goes without saying that to kill over a cartoon is just plain stupid, to kill over just about anything is stupid, but comedy is about the worst. I don't support the riots, the blood or the death that is occurring in reaction to this in the least, but I do want to point out a few things that I feel are necessary to understanding this situation. First of all we in the western world are used to making fun of each other on a daily basis. We use comedy in a way to smooth uneasy situations and differences we have over. The Arabs don't necessarily have this custom that we have grown into for generations. We listen to racial comedy on an almost daily basis now, it has been taking this country by storm. I wholeheartedly support this use of humor to help bring people together, if we are laughing about our differences we are less apt to hate each other for them. With our history I'd say that it's more easy for us to "take a joke" than it is for them.

We also have a diverse religious background here which has exposed us to ridicule from other religions and non-believers. The Muslim religion is by far the most prominent religion in all of the Arab countries (yes there's different sects, but they are very similar). They are just not as used to people who would have unfriendly thoughts about their prophet.

It does however deserve to be brought up that people in America would be significantly outraged if a horrible cartoon was created depicting for instance Jesus performing an abortion. Fucking with peoples beliefs tends to bring outrage to a new level. I would not be surprised if a cartoon posted at the "right time" could spark huge protests or even riots even in this so comedy oriented place we call America. If we look over at Iraq right now, I think we could conclude that it is the "right time" for a riot to take place. They have been destroyed by a country of mostly non-Muslims. I bet there's a little bit of anger stored up in these folks...

I have rambled on for far too long, but in short I ask take a minute to think about the circumstances before you consider a whole people barbarous, and don't forget to take a look at yourself either, you might just find the same faults there.

I hate hate.

If I find a government anal probe in me, I'm going ape shit on someone

What's the big deal if the NSA is spying on american citizens? If you're not doing anything wrong there's nothing to be worried about.

Well I'll tell you what is fucking wrong with that, for starters who gets to decide what "wrong" is? For instance I'm pretty sure protesting the government is a pretty acceptable practice, it being stated in the Bill of Rights and all, but it seems to me that the government is not a big fan of it. What if they decide that protesting the government is wrong? If they do they have full right to investigate anyone that is protesting them. I suppose that doesn't matter though anyways since its already being done.

The problem is folks is that we can't just allow them into our house to sleep on our civil liberties couch because when we're not paying attention they're going to become "the guy" they're gonna get real comfortable on that couch and they're not gonna leave. Next thing we know they're gonna take control of the civil liberties remote, eat all the civil liberties in the fridge and stink up the civil liberties bathroom. It's not gonna be good. In all seriousness though every time we allow the government to step on another civil liberty (sick of the term yet?) we take another step towards fascism. That's not my cup of tea and I would hope that it isn't yours either. I'd rather be the judge of what I want to share about my life, I don't want a spy satellite watching me pee. In fact if I knew this was happening I'd be in trouble because I get serious stage fright, but that's not here nor there.

So no matter what your president says about "fishing with a very small net" don't fucking believe him. If they're only spying on people that have ties to al qaeda (which may I add, nice name drop by the president to get people all worked up. Apparently al qaeda is the only group of bad guys around now) then why is their evidence of them spying on peaceful protests around the country lately? Why is it only us, the citizens that have to follow the laws?

One of the foundation principles of Democracy (Republicanism) is that there can be no one above the law, even those that create the laws. Unfortunately ours is failing.

The good ol' days SUCKED

I'm talking to my buddy Dan from work the other day (by buddy i mean person i usually can't stand but when I'm completely alone with him I'm forced to talk to him) he explained to me that my opinions were "wrong" and that as I grew older I would change and ya know become "conservative". After screaming at him "shut up FUCKER!" about five times we went back to regular arguing. He claims that the ol' days were so much better because people took responsibility for there actions like not getting abortions and raising their kids when they weren't ready and stuff, ya know all that good glorifying the past stuff. I thought to myself, was the past all that great that we should be glorifying it so much? What about slavery? segregation? sexism? Were these all good things that we should wish could still be happening? I think the answer is NO even to hardcore conservatives, which brings me to my point, the past isn't perfect so stop living in it. When you look at the present with feelings of loath your probably just comparing it to a stupid glorified version of the past. Don't forget that humans are usually looking for happy circumstances and when making memories you pretty much remember what you want to. Lets be honest marriage at 18 where the man takes control and the woman cleans the house and raises the kids, basically the man's servant sounds like a great idea but hey why don't we think about the woman's task in this? Not that the job of child rearing should be at all negated as being menial, the woman should have an equal chance of being the "breadwinner" or whatever she wants. Just because she gives birth to the child doesn't mean she has to raise it alone.

Basically when looking back at the family structure of the ol' days on the surfaceit looks great, no divorce, no question on who does what, but in most cases the women are getting shafted. I think the future although having its own flaws can only be considered a step in a continuous track toward a "perfect" civilization which is in my mentality a world of people who think for themselves but are willing to work together no matter who with, black, yellow, white, or red or any combinations, male female, transgender blah blah blah for the common good of the whole. Is it such an unrealistic dream folks? A world of people who looks past physical, emotional, and psycological differences and becomes a stable society and only want the best for itself? I think not, why fight? We all live on one planet, why divide it? why not share it? Its just god damn stupid!

My intoxication stands out in this post a bit...

America... FUCK YEAH!

Stupid people deserve to be rusty hooked.

This will be a short post, and the only purpose of it is to toot my own horn because that's what I like to do. Found this comment on ifilm as part of a forum on the Jon Stewart video when he verbally assaulted the hosts of crossfire. This jerk was bashing a previous authors post who claimed Jon Stewart was a "shining picture of what anarchy should be" I later came to a draw with someone arguing over the definition of an anarchist but that's less fun.

Apoc68 said: I agree with almost everything you said except for the ignorant title of your post. Anarchy? Jon Stewart is liberal, which supports a more powerful government. Was that just a typo?


Me: Apoc68 your comment is burning a whole in the side of my brain. Please don't ever wave the word ignorant around until you've done a little research, it makes you look, well, ignorant.
I think what the problem might be, is that you are confusing the liberal tag that has been given to democrats, with the liberal side of a much greater spectrum that incorporates anarchists, along with communists, and fascists on the other side. Yes the general consensus is that democrats want stronger government, but democrat ideals are about as liberal as Bill Gates is poor. Democrats and Republicans fight over a section of the spectrum that is almost negligible. Neither deserves a label of liberal or Conservative, they could form one party and just debate among themselves. Anywho don't jump to conclusions to say someone automatically wants a certain thing to happen simply because you feel that they fit neatly into a political party's agenda, the world doesn't work that way and never will.

haha im cool cuz i read books. *snort*giggle*snort*

P.S A rusty hook is when you stick your finger up your butt and then hook the inside of someones cheek with it.

Jesus loves the little children all the children of the world white and white, white and white...

Ever since I was a litlin I've been told by adults and most importantly my religion teachers that its not murder if you kill somebody in war, that its ok to kill for your country. Is it? I'm not trying to start a fight with the troops, well ya know if more of them refused to fight we might have to come up with new ways to settle arguments but that's just splitting hairs right? What I was saying though was, is it really ok to kill people for your country? Are the people that you are killing any less people? Do they not have families? Friends? Children? Don't they strive to live like everyone else? I fail to see a line, for those soldiers that are christian for instance, doesn't it seem suspicious to them that politicians get to make a decision on whether the 6th commandment is relevant or not? Maybe someday a president will tell me I no longer have to obey my father and mother. What it all comes down to is, any human life that is ended prematurely at the hands of another human is a tragedy, and until this gets realized this world is not going to work out.

There's another point I want to make, this one about my "superior" white race. I've noticed that just about every redneck piece of shit racist likes to point out that black have a higher murder rate than any other race. Since I just proved that killing in war is murder too (yes, PROVED mother fucker) I think that the white race might just possibly have a lead on the black race. Actually I'm pretty sure that if every black person in the world killed a person a day for the next 20 years they still wouldn't bypass the caucasian slaughter numbers. We're mean green killin' machines, but its ok when we do it.

Ya see how this works? White people don't commit murders because they get to make up the rules for what a murder is. As long as you declare war, or belong to the cia, or are friends with someone very important, or have a lot of money you can't commit murder. The people just died at your hands, but ummm.....its ok cause, it was a for a good cause. Amen to that my brothers, amen to that. The more people we kill today, the less people we have to deal with tomorrow!

Read this poem ---->America-Allen Ginsberg

Guess who has all the answers! ME!!!

Ever since Bush started his war on 'Teer,' America has been going at it at the wrong way. When we went to Afghanistan we found some of those terrorist because we were able to take them by surprise, but not as many as we expected. Then we went to Iraq to get the 'dubya-em-deez'(weapons of mass distruction), but I think that was just a cover, I think the real reason we went to Iraq was that the terrorists escaped Afghanistan and went to Iraq and Bush just didn't want to admit that they were getting away. So once we went to Iraq the terrorists already knew that we were coming so they stole the the dubya-em-deez and ran out of Iraq too. This would explain why we havn't found any sign whatso ever of alqueda in Iraq or dubya-em-deez. Yeah so now we have some real danger on our hands, but its ok because I know what to do.

What we need to do is invade all the countries that they could hide in, at the same time. I'm thinking Syria, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia pretty much all those towelhead countries, and the ones with oil because im getting sick of being raped at the gas pump. Well were at it lets invade North Korea, and China, I don't think we can trust them anymore, Oh and Venezuela, and France because they're mean to our president. Yeah thats about all, if we invade all these countries at the same time the terrorists won't have anywhere to run, we'll get 'em!

Now I know what you're thinking, 'i would love to invade all these countries but we don't have enough people in the military now to stay in Iraq safely, how can we invade all these other countries?' Thats just stupid, the only reason we have shortages in the military is because we haven't used the draft yet. There's 250 or so million people in America, and if you take out the elderly, the babies and the rich you still have a good 100 mill to go to war with, it worked in the old days, why can't it now? This is America! We stand for freedom, and its our duty to liberate these people from the terrorists that are in their countries! Even if we have to liberate them to death, atleast they're free!

I'm proud to be and American, where atleast I know I'm free, and I won't forget the men who've died to give that right to me, and I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, cuz there aint no doubt I love this land, GOD BLESS THE USA!!!

P.S fuck you Bush, Cheney, most of the democratic party, almost all of the republican party, Pat Robertson, and Ann Coulter (haha warartist you have me on a tangent), among others.

America:Making people hate us one forced feeding tube at a time.

I can't take this anymore, how could there possibly be a debate in 2005 about whether prisoners of war held by the US should be tortured? We're not even trying to look like we give a shit about human beings any more we blatantly just say that we like to kick the shit out of everyone weaker than us, kick them when they're down, and then when they're die spit on their bodies.

The house passed a bill last fucking month that would have protected POW's in US prisons from torture, now the fucking republicans are freezing the house so that the bill that its attached to won't get passed. On top of this the white house has already pledged to veto it, on what grounds you ask? "it would restrict the president's ability to fight terrorism and protect the country" FUCK YOU! How can human beings not care about other human beings? Ok they look different, we got that already, GET OVER IT! I want to rip out so many hearts right now with my bare hands. I feel so bad for these people, its not fucking right, criminals or not they deserve a trial, decent conditions and they shouldn't have fucking feeding tubes shoved up their noses that haven't been washed since they were shoved in someone else's nose! (allegedly)

As for the white house's stupid reason that it will not allow us to protect our county from terrorists, I offer this. Beating the shit out of the people that hate us only makes them hate us more, now they will just try harder to kill us, thanks.

How about the rules of the Geneva Convention? America hated the Vietnamese because they didn't follow them when we invaded them. Now America can't even show that respect, whatever fuck this, I hate my country blah blah blah if Hitler was around he'd be so amazed at Bush he'd probably suck his dick.

If it makes any difference Arab world, I care.

I'm being watched, I'm being watched by the CIA

So awhile ago I wrote a blog about how much I hated the Patriot Act and that still stands, but yesterday I finished up my 6 page report on the workings and opinions with some additional supporting facts. Now I could post the whole thing, but lets be honest, nobodys going to get passed the first couple of lines because you have short attention spans. Instead I'm just going to post my conclusion, its the best part anyways. Oh you may have noticed that I've changed my point of view on the acts a little bit, deal with it, It'll probably happen again anyways. Most of the points of my old article still stand though, just not my conclusion.

________________________
The Patriot Act is a highly controversial set of laws not only because of it's own doing, but because of an underlying schism that has been in America since its own beginning. Since America was built on an idea of freedom, explained relatively vaguely in the Bill of Rights, citizens of different points of view have opposing ideas about where the limit should be between freedom and safety.
There are those who strive for their individual freedom more, who are willing to trade in security for their freedom while there are others who would much rather trade some of their freedoms so that their government can protect them better. I fall in with the former category the best but not whole-heartedly, in my point of view I would rather take my chances with terrorists than have to fear the people who are supposed to be protecting me. At the same time however I am plagued by the thought that even if total freedom were given, it would still be hard to practice that freedom in a world without order. Compassionate anarchists can say what they want about the centrally good nature of people, there are always going to be some people that want to hurt or at least take advantage of people weaker then themselves. I also have to take into consideration the feelings of my close friends and family, and how I would feel if any of them were hurt in a terrorist attack.

With these thoughts in mind to me it becomes apparent that the system of investigation before the 9/11 attacks was flawed and a repair on that system was needed. The Patriot Act however has gone to far, it has broken too many freedoms that Americans have held to so tightly since the establishment of the Constitution. We only need to look back to the Alien and Sedition acts of 1917, and McCarthyism to see what happens when the government attains to much power and oversteps its boundaries. The Patriot Act should not be repealed in its entirety, its purpose is clear, the intelligence institution in this country needed to be re-examined. Instead we need to build in new limitations in the law so that America can continue with what it was built on, Civil Liberties.

That's probably the nicest post that I'll ever put up here, enjoy it I'll be back to my old self soon.

PS -Read this money for Katria recover coming out of welfare, its ridiculously biased but it has some huge relevance, and its disgusting.

God doesn't like murderers, Mr. President.

Since Sandra Day O'Connor retired and then quickly after Rehnquist died I have been pretty worried about Bush getting his pick at filling the supreme court. It has been the fear after all of the left side since last years elections. The supreme court scares the hell out of me because they hold so much power, and are appointed FOR LIFE. For fucking life, which means if the country changes its views on something and the supreme court doesn't well the law stays the same. Its just plain scary, Bush gets to make more decisions that effect our lives, Bush, the man that has proven over and over that his DNA is even more than 98 percent similar to monkeys. He choked on a fucking pretzel and almost died for christs sake! He fucking started a war with a country, just for fun! (add others as you please, theres many choices)

So he picked Roberts, didn't seem like a big surprise, little curious about his appointment to the head justice position though, shouldn't that be a seat reserved for say...someone who has actually been in the supreme court before? Did Georgey think about this at all? Or does he just think that's how the world works because he is used to just cutting in and getting everything he wants? But Roberts seems to be the normal run of the mill, "school used to be so much better when we prayed" "church should secretly be the center of everything" conservative, that will inevitably ruin the world for any of us that like to think outside of the christian bible every once in awhile.

Harriet Miers' appointment however is just throwing me for such a curve, I don't even know where to start. First of all, and this is probably going to weaken any argument I have hereafter, Miers is quite possibly the ugliest woman I have ever seen in my life. I am more attracted to your dog than I am to her. But that's just way off the point. As if George wasn't under enough criticism for appointed his buddies to government jobs while pushing qualified individuals out, he appoints his personal lawyer/campaign funder/buttbuddy to the supreme court. No one has ever heard of her, she has never been a judge. Other than being on a council in texas, a lawyer, and most importantly the lottery commissioner (can you say head of the arabian horse association?) she is no more qualified than I am, to be on the Supreme Court. I suppose that one good thing that could come out of her nomination is that she doesn't seem like she'll be a fucking Nazi like scalia, but she has still worked on some legal disputes as a pro-life supporter.

No matter what, with bushy at the wheel of this thing, we're all fucked, fucked fucked fucked. He's made the world hate us more, and laugh at us more. He's tearing us apart, and he doesn't care because he can't get elected again anyways. I can only hope that by the time our kids are in high school they'll be saying prayers every day, living the close-minded nationalist good-life, while training to be good soldiers to hold down all the good people.

Mr. George Bush would you please just stop the insanity?

Have you peed on a poor person yet today?

The way our economics in the good ol' U.S of A work I'm surprised we don't just publicly sodomize the poor. Or better yet we can just re-instate slavery for anyone under a certain net worth. I just don't get it.

Truthout has an article about how the house republicans are still planning to extend the presidents tax cuts through 2010 even after the Katrina disaster. The Democrats have scrutinized them stating that with the price of rebuilding there is a huge strain on the economy and maybe tax cuts arn't really a good idea. The republicans response: oh to the contrary this is a great time to cut taxes to "stimulate the economy". This is great shit....these tax cuts which have been long known to benefit the rich the most, don't seem to be doing anything to the economy. We keep giving money back to the rich in this "filter down" economic system and its not doing a god damn thing! For christ sake the tax cuts have been in effect since 2003, do you see the economy doing any better? All we can talk about is how we don't have enough money for social security! Here's a fucking idea you douche bag politicians, instead of feeding us bullshit about privatizing our much needed social security, STOP GIVING THE FUCKING MONEY TO THE RICH! Its not that fucking difficult to comprehend, you're taking money away from people who need it, and giving it to people who have so much they lose track of it. Besides social security just imagine the fun things we could do if the government wasn't broke, like ooh say universal health care....better educational systems, scholarships. But lets be honest those stupid rich bitches that they show on mtv, vh1, E, NBC....do need a couple more new cars for their 16th birthdays even if one of those cars takes away the money from a child that needs heart surgery.

they've cut welfare programs, raised the age of social security, now bankruptcy is going to become more difficult, all these programs are made by the rich to hurt the poor. why don't they just spay and neuter them too....oooh wait that would be counter productive cuz who would clean the pools, mow the lawns, build the houses....yeah they'll just keep peeing on them.

What do you think your leaders mean
destroying the world of today
It means that they dont really give a damn
all they care about is theyre greed
spending money on bombs and guns
more than on the human race
but who are the ones that have to pay
disease and starvation they create
TOMORROW BELONGS TO US

DIE NAZI FUCKER

If i could fucking change my skin tone to black right now i would fucking do it. I no longer want to be part of this fucking hypocritical,oppressive, hating race. Katrina has brought out the worst in every racist white person, why didn't those niggers leave? Theyre just unruley by nature! They should leave all those niggers down there to fend for themselves, they deserve it! Black people just hafta pull the race card on everything!

Let me just make this one point, which i know no one cares about because "it was a long time ago and they should get over it"

Your clean white, pure, beautiful race has been maturing and developing for thousands of years uninterupted. Blacks however had a cute little 200 year period of "interuption" that we like to call "slavery". They were captured like ANIMALS brought to this country and forced to work for absolutly no pay what-so-ever. Restricted from any education and tought that they were nothing! Do you really think that the consecunces of something like that just disappear in one fucking generation? On top of this, when good ole Abe lincoln, freed the slaves, he made no provisions to help them, just GO FREE. They had no money, no education, no friends that could help them, and had to deal with all of the whites that still hated them. A hatred that was actually legal until the 1960's, for those of you bad at math, thats over another hundred years of legal oppression. Now after the 1960's racism officially became "illegal" but if we think that stopped us then were just stupid arnt we because theirs still redneck white trash pieces of shit all over the world who hate blacks because they have a different skin color than whites. So for those of you keeping track thatsfar more than three hundred years of oppression just in this country, if this happened to white people, dont you think it might break our spirits a little too? In return we give them "affirmative action" but does that really make up for hundreds of years of oppression? Can we really expect them to be just like us? Why would they want to be like us? We fucking suck! We oppress them! I fucking hate myself just for being the same color as you racists.

Hitler didnt kill anyone himself either, but look what his propaganda did.

Why I Hate the Human Race

*Disclaimer* I wrote this quite awhile ago, and its not very good. Feel free to give it a read, it pertains to snafu called the American response to Hurricane Katrina. I write this disclaimer because the search term "I hate the human race" is surprisingly popular (should we be worried?) and is the most popular search reaching this blog. I would get rid of this particular entry out of embarrassment but it would be at the detriment of traffic which is meager at best. So please take a look around, there are much better entries here especially the newer ones. Thanks, TCR

This whole Katina thing is just pissing me off to no end. Everyone involved in it are just pissing me off. GAAAA.
1. Can someone tell me why this city was build below sea level please? Ive heard the arguments that it was first settled 200 years ago and blah blah blah built up over time but no one seems to get passed this one point....If you have to run pumps everyday to keep water out so that you can build, what happens if those pumps fail? WELL we found out, the entire city was destroyed, good job nice little brain fart that killed thousands.

2. Here's another one, why were the levees only built to withstand a category 3? Obviously we know category 5's are possible, and its in a hurricane prominent area, seems like we should have built them a little stronger. I did a little reading and i found out why! Guess where president Bushywooshy put the money that was supposed to upgrade the levees! Just guess! Where does all are money and young, poor people go? IRAQ yup. Need i go further?

3. There are two groups in this world that we are in touch with every day in our lives that i don't trust at all. The government, and the media. Now that's all fine and dandy (well not really) until they make contradicting statements. The media shows pictures of starving people, no order, complete chaos. FEMA says that its all a big lie, there's 7000 troops in the area, there's food and water everywhere and the recovery effort is well underway! Who am i supposed to believe? who is trying to deceive me?

4. I hate racism! Every god damn time a black person is shown on TV i hear someone say something about them being bad, worthless, never working, niggers.... what the christ? when are people going to open there eyes? Maybe the reason that the overwhelming majority of the people left in the town are black is because they are the impoverished class and didn't have the luxury of jumping in a car and leaving town when the evacuation orders were made. Why must we so quickly jump to the conclusion that they are just ignorant and rebellious and worthless and a nuisance?

5.If by chance the media is telling the truth and its the government is lying, why is it taking so long to get relief to our own country. When the the tsunami hit India we were right there coordinating a relief effort for them, a relief effort that we don't even seem to be able to do in our own country. Our military should be trained more so in relief efforts than in war anyways, but lets not get into that right now.

6.Lastly i would like to take take a swing at the lower class, the class that i usually stand up for completely. Why must they be looting stores? First of all, the fucking vcrs are going to work, they've been under seawater! but most of all it angers me because there are people like me out there who want to give the lower class all the same rights as the middle and upper, an equal society. I know that they are angry and see the chance to get the things they want now, but it doesn't help in an argument that the poor should be given a better chance when they start going wild as soon as the law is taken away. I don't want them to act civilized or anything because that's really boring, but we all have to work together in this world, and firing a gun at a rescue helicopter and at rescuers is not working together. Besides the fact that is like biting the fucking hand that is feeding you!

Well that's enough for now, no ones gonna read it anyways.

kill, kill, die, die, death, death, suicide! why do you think those rates are so high?

Poo Poo on Mind control.

So little good can come from hurricane Katrina, well exept maybe the fact that the news has finally stopped their 24 hour coverage of that white girl that died in aruba. (I was more insensitive, I came back and changed this) I dont mean to be insensitive here but its ridiculous that in 2005 you still have to be rich and white to get on the fucking news. I ask people outright why they think this girl disappearing in Aruba is such a big deal and i get answers like "uhhh cuz its like in a different country" or "cuz she was on a school trip" Im pretty sure that if ya actually look into the disappearences of some of the minorities they would have equally strange occurences. No folks, the reason shes a big deal is because shes pretty, rich, and white. I mean for christs sake she was on a god damn school trip to ARUBA! I fucking hate the news, i dont even fucking watch it usually, but every time i catch a little of it in the lobby at school, or at the diner or suttin im just pissed off. Why the fuck does america need to see (repeatedly) footage of jap (jewish american princess for those of you stuck in the 20th century hehe) girl cheerleading or some shit?

now i was reading about a girl who had been missing for like 2 or 3 weeks in florida, she didnt get any publicity until her charred body was discovered in an abandoned refrigorator in the middle of a field. I wondered to myself why havnt i heard about her before this, shes been missing for weeks, then i saw her name Randazzo...that didnt sound very white, i understood then.

There was another article i was reading about this girl i dont remember it all that well it was a few months ago, but basically this non-white girl had been missing for over a year and her family had been calling all the major news stations every day trying to get them to pick up the story so that they could get the word out about the her. Repeatedly no one was interested. The first publicity that this girl got was the people writing an article like i am right now about how you have to be rich pretty and white to get on the news!

Ive just fucking had it, its the news, what the fuck?, i realize itll never be non-partial, but come on they gotta try a little harder than this!

so just as an FYI to everyone, non-white people do do other things besides roll with gangs, kill people and play basketball. Ferreal! With that said, try hunting around and gettin some real news, dont just swallow everything that cnn force feeds you. For every shark attack they report theres a much more important story thats being forgotten. Dont be fucking lazy america! Go here right now, what are you waiting for? click there! Now fucker! dont read any further! im warning you, one more word and ill kill your dog! He's fuckin dead!

Some day people will say "Do we have to live this way?" "Is this how we have to exist?" And the people will rise up, and resist!

First Amendment Desecration Act of 2005

My mind is spinning right now. I like to keep up on what my good ol' congressman is doing sometimes and i found on his site that he is a strong supporter of the "flag protection act of 2005" I thought to myself, wow that is one of those things that makes my brain bleed when i think about it. The goal, not only in congress, but also in the senate is to make it illegal to "desecrate" the American flag. The same government that supports the burning of everything, coal, oil, gas, diesel, incriminating evidence about itself is trying to make a law which will put me in jail for 1-2 years for burning the flag!

What this whole flag argument comes down to is that the untrained mind is a very simple machine. Its very hard to take in all that this country has done and is doing to itself and to other countries. The untrained mind needs a simple object, something that it can relate everything to, a symbol. Now that wouldnt be so bad if that symbol continued to stand for everything that has and is happening, but it doesn't for most people, it becomes one sided. I feel that the government knows this and is using it to their own benefit. The american people are brainwashed every day into thinking that we are doing everything just right. By protecting the flag it turns the brainwashed against desentors and make an even more super-patriotic nation. A super-patriotic nation is a dangerous nation, because no one is there to keep it in check, it can run wild, and become uncontrolled. For instance starting wars in middle eastern countries for no good reason.

The following is taken directly from the wording of the bill traveling through the senate:(and why its wrong, at least by my standards)

a) FINDINGS- Congress finds that--
(1) the flag of the United States is a unique symbol of national unity and represents the values of liberty, justice, and equality that make this Nation an example of freedom unmatched throughout the world;
-forced unity through brainwashing, and while were talking about freedom, how about that first amendment that gives me the right to free speech and demonstation?

(2) the Bill of Rights is a guarantee of those freedoms and should not be amended in a manner that could be interpreted to restrict freedom, a course that is regularly resorted to by authoritarian governments which fear freedom and not by free and democratic nations;
-it says right there that the bill of rights shouldn't be amended to restrict freedom, if they take away flag burning whats next, protests? And while I'm at it, this democratic institution is afraid of freedom, and does want to limit it as much as possible.

(3) abuse of the flag of the United States causes more than pain and distress to the overwhelming majority of the American people and may amount to fighting words or a direct threat to the physical and emotional well-being of individuals at whom the threat is targeted;
-i can't even do this one, did a 4 year old's mom write this? fighting words?

(4) destruction of the flag of the United States can be intended to incite a violent response rather than make a political statement and such conduct is outside the protections afforded by the first amendment to the Constitution.
- "can be intended to incite" because someone at sometime might want to start a violent response by burning a flag, we need to make it an overall law. FUCK YOU

So basically what i want everyone to do is spread your asscheeks out a little, pull with your back until your head pops out, wipe the shit out of your eyes and realize with me that the flag can stand for what ever you want it to stand for. If it only stood for unity, freedom, and hope, no one in their right mind would every want to desecrate it. Unfortunatly it also stands for the hate, racism, imperialism, hunger, ignorance, non-unity, brainwashing, etc. What it comes down to people is that its a piece of cloth, nothing more nothing less, fight for what you beleive in, dont group a whole nation into a symbol, it doesnt fit.

Red, White, and Brainwashed.

Demockracey

*I've since changed my mind completely on caring about the differenciation in common speech, but im not going to shoot myself*

So this blog honestly has no point other than that people annoy me with their ignorance. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret AMERICA is not, and will never ever be a DEMOCRACY. If this were a democracy, upon turning 18 and registering to vote we all would have recieved our invitations to go down to congressional hall for the open debates and votes. That shit doesnt happen. What we have is a REPUBLIC say it with me RE-PUB-LICK, yes thats what america is, we vote for people to make our decisions for us. Now that we are all informed i reserve the right to shoot anyone that says "americas great cuz its a democracy" or "we are spreading democracy to iraq." Now saying we are a republic is also slightly misleading i suppose. Ya see in theory the people who are voted into power by the citizens are suppose to represent the general wants of those citizens. This works really well in theory, but when put into practice corruption takes place and the politicians do what they want when they want and the citizens get to sit back and watch thier lives get stolen. If you ask me, its getting worse.

As a side note outside of our western cultures not everyone thinks that democracy is the best answer for one, the people of arab countries have a higher percentage of devout religions people in them, they beleive that the higher order comes from god and that putting the opinion of people over that of god is a sacralige, yes I'm talking about the people that we are forcing "democracy" on right now.

Yeah thats all over, but its okay, cuz "its a free country"

Student Privacy Protection Act of 2005

Im going to use this post not so much to yell at everyone and make fun of you but ask for your help in something that seriously needs to be changed. If you look down there (little pointy downy arrow) at "ya gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government" you see me bitching about the 'no child left behind' legilation that secretly forces guidance councelors to give all the personal information of students to military recruiters. Well there is legislation out there now that if passed will replace the current program that you must "opt-out" of which most never find out about, with a program of mandatory informing from the school to the parents and students in which they would have to "opt-in" for their information to be shared. Lets remember that in high school we were basically at the will of everyone else, they can't vote so you can't help themselves, we need to help them. Write you congressperson and ask them to sponsor HR551 the Student Privacy Protection Act of 2005.

Theres information on what its all about here

If you don't know who your congressperson is go here

You should also check here to make sure your congressperson isn't already sponsoring this act.

If they havn't,write them a letter asking them to support the act because this privacy infringment is only going to get worse as we stay longer in Iraq and more people start hating the military. Fuck this war.

thank you.

I want my drugs.

Little Johnny is 8 years old, he has cancer, his parents are poor and they can't afford the medication he needs to live. His mother breaks into a hospital to steal the medication for her son (yes i realize women can do courageous things too) and gets caught, arrested and put in jail. Now Johnny gets to die, without his mom.

Now as far as I know this story hasn't happened, but under the current economic system of America it very easily could. I find it extremely sad that the richest most powerful country in the world can let its lowest class starve and die without the medications they need and can not afford. How can we allow billions upon billions of dollars to be spend on the military while we still do not have a national system of health insurance, it makes no sense at all. So we have to tell Johnny that he has to die because america needs a new fleet of fighter jets? This country is a fucking embarrassment to me, i feel like if someone from another country were to ask me how we could do this to our poor id look down and start crying.

Everybody's in love with this capitalism “its what keeps this country going”but is it going? The rich run the country the way they want to while the poor suffer and starve... of course the president doesn't need health care hes a fucking millionaire. Congress voted themselves a great little retirement plan where they get 100% of their pay for the rest of their lives and they only have to serve one term to qualify. Simultaneously retired people around the country are eating actual kibbles and bits (dog food) because after they pay for their medications they can no longer afford to buy real food. These are the people who worked all their loves most of them also fighting for this country in those really cool wars that we love so much. We can't even take care of them.

Ask yourself this question, Is it right that a person's life expectancy in america is directly related to their net worth? Because it is.

Read the weakling's post right now, its a nice follow-up

"its a beautiful day for a bar-b-que...this time the hotdog is YOU"

Ya gotta die, gotta die, gotta die, for your government

America has to stop preying on the poor teenagers of this country, they have rights too. If it wern't bad enough that the "no child left behind"legislation was just a coverup for a large scale recruitment program which made it mandatory for guidance counclors to send all the personal records of teens 16 and older to the army recruitment centers. Now the government in cooperation with a third party corporation are creating a huge database of all the 16-18 year olds in the country. social security numbers, names, interests, plans of study, ethnicity all that great information that we like to call private being sent to the government so they can harass you to join their army and go kill yourself while killing innocent people.

ooh and lets not forget their great system of "ooh join our army and we'll pay for your college" so let me get this straight your bribing me to put my life in danger and to kill people, with a college education that i only need because of this stupid capitalistic system that makes me compete with my peers to make a living. That just sounds really fucked up to me...

ill join the army when the president of the united states and at least some of congress are fighting right beside me. and until then i vow to you mr. bush send me a draft card, and i will burn it, burn it like you are going to burn in hell for what you have done to the iraqi people while you tried to "liberate" them, or was it their oil?

Their system doesn't work for you.

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT

congratualations to the cia the fucking patriot acts are probably going to become almost completly permanent so i propose that instead of prying into every crevis of my life ill just keep you posted every second. right now im burning the american flag and then putting it out with my own urine. FUCK YOU! i wanna be free, where can i be free? america isn't free...

Your big truck doesnt make up for your small penis

Stop it with the fucking trucks and SUVs, JESUS CHRIST. i swear to god the next time i see a ford expedition pull into a parking lot, take up 3 fucking parking spots, carrying only a 100 pound woman driver im going to throw a fucking rock at her. It should be mandatory that if you are going to drive a big fucking wasteful piece of shit like that you should have to carry eight people in it at all times. What the fuck? Your eight cylinders are burning more gas while you leave your suv running in the driveway than my car uses driving to syracuse. "i feel safer in my big truck" well the rest of us would feel a lot safer if you'd get off the road with your huge bulldozer of a car.

I am just completly dumbfounded at the wastefulness of this country. In every other nation in the world the trend is towards more energy conserving methods of transportation, NOT here. Americans are so fucking smart let me tell you, now i wasnt born yet but i hear we had a little thing called a fuel shortage in the seventies where gas prices went crazy and there wasnt even enough to go around. Did we take this as a wake up call? NO, we continued to buy big ass gas guzzleing cars, and now that the price of gas is going crazy again its the same god damn people who went threw the shortage in the seventies that are complaining about the prices now when theyre filling up their huge SUVs! Most advanced nation in the world? No i think weve officially smoked ourselves retarded.

Why don't presidents fight the wars? Why do they always send the poor?

FUCK YOU DOC

I am an adult therefore you are not higher then me! I don't care if you have 10 years of medical school under your belt or you are the president of the united states (hypothetically, if he was actually human) you are my peer and you have to fucking deal with that. If your name begins with a "DR." and i start it with an "MR." thats because unlike you i find you to be my peer. For the life of me i can not figure out how people who go to college manage to become "higher" in society than those that dont. We all work together in society, when were sick we have to go to the doctor which is a very important job. On the other hand if the garbage wasnt picked up, houses wernt built, roads wernt made, we'd all be kinda fucked eh??

If we dont agree with the Caste system in India we sure as hell better not have a system of hierarchy in America. We do not designate the people in power as being higher than us, they brainwash us into do so. STOP! Its just a way for them to control you, the ruling elite deserve no more respect than you deserve from them. They can only demand it as long as you give it to them.

Why doesnt Wal*mart sell upside down american flags?

Homosexuality and Marriage

Why are gay people subjected to so much shit in this country and all over the world (basically). Homophobia...yeah so there's people out there that are AFRAID of gay people. Now they play off that they're big and tough, but they are afraid of these people who they claim are weak. Am i missing something? First of all I God damn well know at some point in every one of these assholes lives they have had a homosexual thought. But they are so fucking afraid of being gay that they want to condemn anyone who is, like its fucking contagious. People need to open their fucking eyes, no, its not contagious, really, I'd have it by now. People need to stop being so afraid of it, so what if you find out your gay, suppressing it isn't going to help, and hating everyone that is isn't suppressing it, isn't either.

I'm afraid of homophobes. Anyone who can hate the nicest group of people in society should be feared because well there's some serious issues going on there.

"the bible says you can't be gay" The section that everyone so lovingly brings up is from Leviticus, if you look a little deeper you can find some other rules from this section too. 1. It is a sin to eat pork. 2. It is perfectly acceptable to own slaves, as long as their from another country.3. You are not allowed to trim your hair or beard 4.You cant mix fabrics. After reading the rest of Leviticus it seems as tho this evidence is shot to hell. And how about that whole "love thy neighbor" thing, can we just forget about that because were doing "God's work"?

Many people will probably disagree with me, but i don't really care. Organized religion is the Antichrist. Yup, plain and simple. It breeds hate and ignorance. Isn't that exactly the opposite of your Jesus' teachings? Wasn't he a pacifist? Seems kinda ironic that more people have died in his name than for any other man who has ever lived, including Hitler...

Gay people should not be able to get married, and here is why I think that: churches are just not interested in marrying gays. So that just leaves the government to marry them, well the government shouldn't be able to marry anyone, marriage is a religion based institution therefore the government has no right sticking its nose in it. This is where civil unions come in, different name, same results, they are a legal contract between two individuals, not all that mushy kissing stuff. Married couples in the church apply for a civil unions from the government, therefore still receive all the benefits married couples receive now*.

**Update: I meant this more as a "best case scenario" as to how marriage legislation should work. However it would be much harder to completely change the law of civil marriage in order to create only Civil Unions in the eyes of the government than to just legalize gay marriage. In addition this would be a costly solution to a mostly aesthetic problem. In the real world I fully support the right for gay couples to be married.**

The problem of allowing Civil Unions according to the opponents is that it will cost us much more in taxes and social security if we widen the eligibility to support so many more people with social security and other federal benefits. Well gay couples should be allowed the same benefits I'll get if I ever get retarded and get "married", why not? If they're paying into the system they should get protected in the same way.

Jesus was a communist, Jesus was a Pacifist...

Open ass cheeks insert Patriot Act.

NO MORE DEAD....Civil Rights!

In 1798 a Federalist controlled congress created the Alien and Sedition acts under fears of a war with France. Upon study it also becomes apparent that the underlying reason for the acts was to silence the Republicans of the time.

This happened again in 1917 when another Sedition Act was passed at the head of the Red Scare, the beginning of Americans' phobia of communism. This act was underhandedly used to attack left wing radicals by J. Edgar Hoover.

In 1950 Joseph McCarthy used the intense fear during the cold war to begin his "witch-hunts" for communists within America, making people fear speaking their mind at all against the government. This was another attack on liberal thought against capitalism.

Who can look back on these awesome infringements on our civil rights and say, yes that was a good idea? So why did we allow it to happen again? With the establishment of the Patriot Act the legislature played on American fears yet again, to persuade us to give up so many civil rights. It was passed 45 days after the September 11th attacks, the easiest method of getting a bill passed through the legislature unopposed is through the use of fear. How else can you explain that 120,000 Japanese-Americans were arrested, had all of their possessions sold at a great loss and thrown into prison camps throughout the US during WWII?

Why would we trade our civil rights for safety? Why would you want to be safe from "terrorists" if you must fear your own government? I'd rather be blown away than not be allowed to tell Bush hes a fucking dick, and he should pull his head out of his holier-than-thou ass and stop fucking with us.

So we have this Patriot act, good name, I swear it sounds like its good for me, but I'm pretty sure it's not. It allows the CIA and FBI to search your library records, tap your phones, search your possessions, perform anal sex on your mom, and not even tell you for weeks or months afterward. It allows all this to occur with little or no judicial oversight! Some radical fucks actually wanted to take out the sunset clause which puts a time limitation on the acts! FASCIST FUCKS! When the Patriot act comes up for re-authorization, we need to get the power against it and get it voted down!

The president doesn't want you to misunderestimate him.

Get Your Jesus Off My Penis

That title isn't mine, its the name of song by Eric Schwartz about the separation of church and state. Don't get all mad about that title, I don't mean it literally, and if you hear me out you may even respect my opinion a little.

When the writers of the constitution sat down in that oh so hot room in the summer, heroically setting up this great government we have (Oh glamorized history!) they wrote in many different statements about the free practice of religion of choice, and the separation of the church and state. I've heard the arguments over and over that these people were primarily Christians and never meant what was written to be taken so literally, and that Christianity should be the religion of choice for America. I'm sorry but that just sounds like a crock of bullshit to me. As flawed as the constitution is, it is the one document that we must always look to when making decisions of rights and powers. Why did they say one thing and do another? That is a great question, which unfortunately will never be answered. As however always have to do what is written, this is a "do as i say, not as i do" situation.

Therefore I say again, Get your Jesus off my Penis! Do not make abortions illegal! If you do that it will just go back to the old coat hanger method anyways, which is just a bit more dangerous so then you have two deaths, mom and baby....hmmm! If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one, but leave me alone, I believe in a woman's right to choose. President Bush in his infinite wisdom is proclaiming that abstinence is the only way, that contraceptives are the devils work, and therefore we shouldn't even mention their use to teenagers. This is a great idea, tell teenagers not to have sex! While you're at it, tell them not to eat either, because you're gonna have about the same luck. Now they're still horny, and ill-informed, good way to release them into the world. The information is out there, the teaching of abstinence has an adverse effect on controlling STD's and unwanted pregnancies.

As for the other side, "my side" You people that are so preoccupied with removing every instance of god from anything governmental need to get a fucking hobby. If you don't believe in God but want to say the pledge, don't say that part, no one is going to kill you. If there's a set of ten commandments on the front of a courthouse, who the fuck cares, hey a good six of them aren't that bad anyways. If you're gonna start a federal case about something make it for something that is actually infringing on your rights, like if those courts are using the ten commandments in their decisions. Stop wasting everyone's time with your anal needs to have everything perfect and anti-God.

Don't blame me i voted for the lesser of the two assholes.
