I like this because it shows how ridiculous we are for glorifying these moron rappers who pretend to be such gangsters, when across the seas there are kids fighting street wars for no money or praise. All a shame, but real.

Because They Said So
April 29, 2008We form many of our opinions, traditions, routines, and beliefs on the simple principle of “because they said so”. Think about it, when is the last time you researched facts on important issues for yourself? And I mean actual research that goes deeper than reading one random blog (like this garbage). And not just from listening to the banter coming from some Lego-haired and gaudy news anchor, or from your gossip lipped co-workers who can’t handle their own issues in life, but have the key to solving the entire worlds problems. It’s all a bunch of nonsense and I’m sick and tired of it. Sick and tired. Did you get that?
I’m sick of people always doing exactly what they are expected to do and without questioning anything. I mean, they question things, but still within their boundaries and guidelines. For example, instead of considering the candidates for Republican, Democratic, or even Independent parties, why aren’t we questioning whether or not ANY of these morons are qualified to run this country. Every thought of that? We simply accept what we think is popular, because “they” said it was. We’re going through the motions, supporting what is known, listening to what is popular, and what is broad casted in the mainstream. It must be somewhat accurate right…they said it in the media… well screw the media. It’s only there to fit someones interest and it revolves around hearsay and hype. Why stay in the same box and never attempt to learn about point of views that may not be convenient for us to listen to.
People are painfully predictable these days. If someone leans right in their opinions, they listen to everything fed from the right. If they lean left, they buy up all the propaganda from the left. If someone is undecided, they don’t listen to anything at all, but use their time to complain instead of forming a damn opinion and establishing a new choice for their society.
I say there is always a new choice, and it begins with common sense. Take every situation with a grain of salt and research it for yourself. Don’t just read one book on a subject, read several books. Don’t just meet one person from a different culture, meet several people. Don’t settle for one radio station with your favorite like minded ideas, listen to them all and you will hear that much of it has the same agenda.
The want you to believe that you need to stand in line and support the popular groups in life. That’s a bunch of bullsh**. You are the future and you can decide what happens every day. It’s never been about the majority, it has always been about the choices YOU make as an individual and the decisions everyone can control in their daily lives.

Animal Attacks – The Real Issue in Life
April 29, 2008
I’ve got a good idea, let’s place wild animals in a park for other people to stare at and then act surprised when they attack a visitor. Or how about we waltz into the ocean with a surfboard and then act shocked when a shark bites our ass. Alright so I am being overly sarcastic and aloof about the subject, but you get my point right? I obviously never want to see another human being (or myself) get hurt while exploring this mysterious world, but we need to wake up and realize that in most cases we are the ones mapping out these catastrophies. It’s all a risk, it’s all uncertain, and it is too often a luxury that turns into our frustration, don’t you see that? You can’t control these things, so stop expecting for everything to work out for you when you make these choices.
Please understand that I’m not hinting that we should ban all public zoo’s or simply never participate in extreme sports again…..What I’m saying that I’m sick and tired of people acting shocked when accidents happen in the arena of humans vs. nature. Why are we in such denial about this subject? We love to pretend that the world around us is a finely tuned ballet that is meant to revolve around our desire to explore or have fun, and we often forget that most of the tragedies that occur are simply by the choices we make. They may be good ideas at the time, but they still involve risk. Ask the automobile industry, they’ll tell you all about it.
So before you start throwing handcuffs on tigers or take your dog to counseling for his temper problem, just remember, you might be the problem too. This ain’t Disneyland.

Why Isn’t Murder a Good Thing?
April 28, 2008I got your attention didn’t I? Maybe it’s because you (as a human being) have some level of consciousness and probably hold a strong position on the issue of murder. Of course I’m not here to support the position that murder should be seen as a good thing, but I am here to remind you that everyone believes that murder is bad (if even when happening to them or their loved ones). The reason I remind you of this is that it often seems popular for people to take the position of accepting several crack pot ideas as valid “opinions” or as being significant to what “other people” believe. In most cases, this kind of nonsense sounds more like an excuse to appear open minded, cultured, and tolerant. I believe it is quite the opposite. But my real question to our society is this: Why is murder a bad thing? Can you explain it to a crowd of people who don’t believe in the same things you do? And what if someone from a different background or culture thinks it is acceptable to murder someone? Do they have the right to murder others simply because they think it is a good idea?
If you are someone who holds personal morals or standards in life, you probably understand why you believe what you do. But if you’re one of these people who claim to believe in nothing and whine about how meaningless existence is, then why care about murder? Why care about genocide, war, injustice, rape, oppression, or anything at all for that matter? Honestly, if we’re just a bunch of animals placed here by chance, why does anything matter at all? I know my examples are extreme, but we live in a world that has become very extreme in it’s thinking and this is getting more out of hand every day. I wonder why so many individuals who claim to be “open minded” don’t see that there are in actually rules in life. I personally don’t believe in brainwash, but I also don’t believe in this ridiculous “anything goes” mentality either. I call it common sense, but some may call it conviction, morals, or social standards.
We do in fact expect things of people on this earth, regardless of their religion, culture, or background. So what are your standards in life? How low are you willing to go to please someone? This may be of little consequence if it comes to minor issues, but when it comes to dealing with world philosophies and opinions, you must realize that people think differently and that thinking differently does not give anyone the right to justify those beliefs if they are…INSANE. Murder is obviously one of these insane philosophies, so my point is that for all you morons out there who love to say “it’s all relative” and “to each their own”, I say (f*** you), wake up and start taking an actual position for justice and good. Use logic and open your eyes…hopefully you will do the right thing.

I Don’t Love You, I Love My Car
April 27, 2008Everyone seems to love their toys and possessions more than they love other people.
So why don’t we just come out and say it more often and stop fooling ourselves. We may as well be honest with our misguided greedy minds that have become so warped by obtaining “stuff”. The next time you buy a new car, I think it would be humorous to walk into house and yell out, “hey kids, we’re home”. And if you ever get into an argument with your significant other, you can tell them the truth, which is that you don’t love them, you love your car. You would rather fill the void in life with things that do not fight back or take time to grow in a relationship with. Why would you?
Besides, you are probably such a great person that you have no problems to work on anyways, so you may as well focus more time on obtaining more stuff. Keep loving and praising your achievements and possessions, as I’m sure they will come back to help you when your life is finished.
