The following are just some points I have to share with the world. These are nothing my own opinions and everyone has their own opinions. Rip me all you want, lord knows you would not be the first. Here goes-
To all the people giving The Dixie Chicks shit-
Lay off! They are just people telling people what they think. They are American and thus free to say whatever the hell they want to about whomever they want to say it. Look, I like music (not The Dixie Chicks just so you know) and I don’t give a shit what the musician is all about as long as their music is good. I don’t care that Marilyn Manson thinks he is the anti-christ, or that Eminim does not like gays. So they don’t like the president, big freaking deal. People did not like the president during the whole election thing, and people did not like Clinton, or Bush Sr, or Reagan, or Ford, or Nixon, or Carter etc etc etc. Lets see what happens when society starts dictating what we can and cannot think about our president, the next step is a government dictating what we can and cannot think about the government <cough>Iraq</cough> Get over it.
To all the people giving Michael Moore shit-
Even more LAY OFF! He said nothing anti-american, or pro-iraq. He only said he does not believe that Bush won the election in the manner elected officials are intended to win elections and that he does not support the war in Iraq. That is all he said. Make him out to be whatever kind of villain you like, but he had a right to say it and he did, god bless him.
To all the people with their “our poor troops” shit -
Keep in mind one simple thing, they signed up for this crap. No one, I repeat NO ONE forced them to raise their right had and swear before god that they would defend the country from all threats. No one said that only meant so long as they don’t have to actually FIGHT a war, or go to some dirty country thousands of miles from home and do their freaking job! What about “our poor postal workers”? “Our poor 7-11 clerks” they are doing a job and so is the military.
To the people so sad and torn up about the Columbia -
What the fuck? They left the freaking earth in a spaceship and something wrong happened?!? Who the hell cares? It was 7 damn people! What about the hundreds of above mentioned military personal that dies during training exercises? Not even front page news. It like a lion trainer. We go see a guy stick his freaking head into a lion’s mouth because it is exciting, why is it exciting? Because the damn lion could close his mouth and bite the fucking trainers head off. Although not likely, it could happen, that is why we are all so into it. So what happens when the lion DOES bite down and rip the little trainer to shreds? Everyone gets all sad and cries out what a tragedy it was. No it freaking wasn’t! It is a risk inherent in the system. Get into a spaceship, blast your ass off into the great unknown at a million dame miles an hour (don’t forget to do that you’ll need a million gallons of freaking rocket fuel strapped to your back) and test weather froggies can mate in zero gravity. Then on top of all that, try to get your happy ass back onto earth without blowing your freaking ass up. Sounds to me like pretty risky behavior to me, that once again the people signed up for on their own. So if they do blow their asses up, occupational hazard, not great tragedy.
Well it is late and I need sleep. More to come later…
By the way, I am not meaning anything personal toward anyone touched by the war or the Columbia crash in anyway. Please do not respond with “My brother is in Iraq and let me tell you something” I am only stating my opinion and nothing more. Much like how censorship should be, if you don’t like it and don’t want to hear it, read it or see it, turn off the set, turn down the dial, click on the back button. Thank you goodnight.
