Timbuktu

For all those who still believe that Blacks are less adept than Whites just look at Timbuktu. Founded in the AD 900s, Timbuktu became a scholarly powerhouse that specialized in producing manuscripts that were used by Europeans and Arabs alike. It was not until the Portugal enslaved people in the Songhai Empire that Timbuktu began a decline. Yet even during the slave trade Timbuktu remained a heavily scholarly city which continued to produce manuscripts until the final blow was set when Moroccan mercenaries took over the city. So in short, no race is any better than any other.

The Torch Goes To North Korea

The most depressing place on the planet has know been given the torch which symbolizes national cooperation and teamwork. Very inspiring if you ask me to see them open themselves up to the outer world. One man tried to set himself on fire in protest but was taken away to die in secret. Maybe NK will turn around with it's new Capitalist approaches.

It would be different if the kids at our school were writing "I am Heterosexual" on their shirts. They were in fact bashing homosexuals by writing "True Love" on their shirts with a boy and girl stick figure holding hands.

Oh and gays aren't disrespecting anyone on day of silence. They were stating that they are people and shouldn't be looked down upon like animals.

(Not that animals should be looked down upon, either.)

This word "bashing" seems way harsh for this situation. If the shirts were to have said "We should kill the gays" I would say that is bashing. Saying that Heterosexual love is true love is not actually a threatening and hateful message.All it happens to be is a poorly thought up rebuttal to the Gay Rights argument. While it is foolish to say that gay love is not "true" love, it is still not hatred. While the people wearing the shirts may have hatred in their hearts, on their clothes is only foolishness.
Truth be told, I could care less if it was a hateful message. I am a true believer in freedom of speech and expression, especially when the message offends. The fact that someones feelings were hurt, just shows that the people whose feelings were hurt are in opposition to the statement and/or have felt prejudice before in their lives. Yet if we are to ban offensive messages the fact that those who hate gays were probably offended by the day of silence would render day of silence offensive and it should then be banned. Just because your views are in opposition to the anti-gay ideology, it does not give you the power to silence them. Isn't that the whole message of the Day of Silence.....not to silence people?

The fact that you would call these people bashers however shows that you probably were either offended by the statement they made or you assumed that it was hateful.


Yet the most important thing I could tell you is that if you want to help society by proving that gays are moral people, one must only prove this with logic and reason not censorship. You can change a person from a gay hater to a tolerant person if you show them the error of their beliefs and not insult them into a state of closed mindedness.

Everybody Day

At my school some students were protesting the silencing of gays by being silent, no one had their minds change and things stay the same. Why continue doing these protests when they do not work? We should learn from our lack of progress and attempt to reshape the tolerance movement. What is wrong with the movement at the moment is that it targets one group of people at a time, therefor singling every other group out as taboo for the remainder of the protest. For example, if I were to where a shirt that says that I am heterosexual, I would be seen as rude for ruining the Gay Pride Day. In reality I would be doing no harm to the Gay community and would only be showing a part of me to others and showing my pride. Is that not what the Gays do on the day of silence? Can two types of people not be accepted simultaneously and not disrespect each other in doing so?
It is my belief that the next step to creating cultural awareness is to show our own culture and pride as one. Blacks and Whites could celebrate their similarities and differences and grow in knowledge of towards the lie that is racism. We must show that racism and intolerance are just illogical observations made by uneducated people and nothing else. Yet if we are to have certain days to target each group individually we only strengthen the fact that there is a divide between us. We must unify and celebrate the Human race not just the White race or the Black or Latino races.
I say abolish the racist grouping of days to celebrate groups of people and have days to celebrate all the people. No longer should the message be "stop the silencing of gays" it shall be "stop the silencing of people". In this way we can include everyone into each other's problems and put a stake in each other's fortunes. In this way in order to show support to myself, I must show support of all as it is the celebration of Everybody.

Kalashnikov 1947

Avtomat Kalashnikova obraztsa 1947 goda

The AK-47 assault rifle is responsible for more deaths than any other gun on the planet, it also is the most numerous. This weapon weighs 9.5 pounds, carries 30 rounds, and is lethal at ranges of 300 meters. Some claim it can be submerged in sand and in one shot it will clean it self, it is tough and reliable. The Kalashnikov is named after it's inventor Mikhail Kalashnikov who designed it in 1947 and saw service in 1949. Kalashnikov has become a Russian hero for his creation which continues to be the weapon of choice for Russian troops.


This weapon is important to know because it is probably the gun being carried by the folks who want us dead.Just found it interesting to know that this birth child of the Cold War will continue to kill and so few of us know anything about it.

anyways give your opinions

The Plan

My days went by when I had an epiphany
And I let it become a part of me
Tinkering and toiling on my new thought
blindly attempting
to materialize this idea I’ve got
Drawing blueprints and charts
The clearer the plan became to me
The greater it seemed to really be
My peers approved of such a scheme
Yet I never examined reallity of my dream
So perfection is all I would stand for
My plot could only be flawless
Yet progress continued no more
And the further I ponder the more I digress
In my frustration the schematics were torn
In this confusion I could only mourn
my mind grew sour the mission had too
In the end of the chaos it formed something new
Desperation sets in
as the deadline comes nearer
The plan not yet finished
Yet my hopes aren’t deminished
I draw up designs
Of peculular kinds
To preserve the plan at hand
Yet nothing could save me
If it were to be
That my plan was no good
How blindly I stood
Could I not see that this plan here
While advanced and artfull
Was only a mirror?
This mirror became what it was meant to be
To show me what I needed to see
I was blind to the fact that it never was real
Yet it brings no comfort to how I feel
Perhaps this blunder
Oh how I wonder
Could this have been forseen?
Energized and reborn
I plan anew
But I still must wonder
How shall this one do?

School Shootings....

This is the face of a big douche






Yet again another bullied little prick thought that the best solution to his problems was to murder a lot of people and then himself in his school. What is this kids problem you ask? According to the Police Chief his main beef was that he hated the world.It may be obvious to why his pathetic decision is morally wrong, yet it is even deeper than it seems. I wanna try to give you a feeling of how much of a big fat douche this guy is....

First off on the reasons to why he is not only evil but also a pathetic excuse of a human being, he was willing to kill people who never hurt him in order to fulfill his hissy fit. Rule number 1, don't fucking kill random bystanders because you are sad you look like a pig-man and girls don't like you. He is such a self centered little bitch that he literally wanted to murder people he never met to get his pathetic message out.
Second off his whole plan was just one giant temper tantrum. He is an epic loser for throwing a fit because the other kids pick on him. He is 18 not 5.
Lastly he just had to tell people his "message". He didn't have the decency to just end his pathetic life without hurting anyone else. He wants people to feel bad for him but the truth is that he himself was apathetic to human suffering. His stone cold heart should have stopped beating before his idea even came to fruition.


I know I joke around a lot but this is a serious topic in my eyes. Yet with all serious topics I like to joke about them and I do it in a good way. I want to make fun of the losers who pull these stunts to ensure people know how fucked up they are. When you laugh at those types of jokes it is because you see the huge gap in logic that the plotters make and you find it funny that they are such losers. I however do not think that purposeful defamation of certain people in a purely mean spirited way is a good thing, I frown upon that type of thought as people mistake my type of humor for theirs and turn the things I make positive into negatives again.


anyway comment on how big a douche that kid was....

This Guys Is Fucking Terrified of Carter.

I don't like when Cheney has that look in his eyes....

My Stance on Social Issues

Abortion- Pro Choice/ Father should have say

Affirmative Action- This is slightly a racist movement, racist in a patronizing way not a hateful one, but if it helps people and hurts little, why not.

Ageism- Judging people by their age is perfectly fine, seeing as we will all be young and hopefully will be old in the future so those who judge will also be judged and they know this.

AIDS- I didn't know this was a social issue but I'm against it I guess....

Animal Testing- If we test animals to further man in areas such as life saving medicine and such I think it's OK, I mean it is just like every other part of the survival game.

Crime- see AIDS

Death Penalty- If we had the money to hold the prisoners we execute then I would be against the death penalty, but since we are low on funds, let em fry!

Discrimination- See AIDS/Crime

Drugs- I'm OK with you doing it as long as it doesn't harm me.

Educational System- See AIDS/Crime/Discrimination

Euthanasia- If your a vegetable wtf do you care if you die? You don't even know your alive!

Evolution vs Intelligent Design - Not really a social issue as it is not an opinion. It is that one belief is right, the other is not. Currently the only believable one from a scientific point of view is Evolution so I bank on that, yet I wasn't there so I could be wrong.

Gay Marriage/Rights- I've said it before and I'll say it again... I don't care if you wanna reenact 2 Girls 1 Cup every god damn day while watching BME Pain Olympics at the same time, what you do in bed is your own god damn business. I'm not saying being gay is the same as eating shit and cutting of your genitals but I don't plan on either.....
And if your marriage is threatened by gays...... Go fuck yourself in the ass Gary because your a fucking queen.

Global Warming- See Evolution

Gun Control- Pro Gun/ Anti Gov't

Health Insurance- nationally paid insurance will destroy our hospitals. We can't afford to treat everyone or no one will get treated.

Homelessness- See AIDS

Immigration- I'm for legal and illegal

Injustice- See AIDS and who the fuck is anti justice?

Legal drinking age- I think it's good where it is, makes it at least somewhat difficult for teens to drink.

Poverty- See AIDS

Racism- See AIDS

Religion in politics- If your religion is proven true, go ahead. Until then fuck off

Religious Fundamentalism- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
yes lets teach our children magic is the reason for morality.

School Shootings- See AIDS

Sexism- See AIDS

War- See AIDS

Weightism- Fuck fat people

White Flight- How is leaving inner cities to get a better life racist?

Breaking News

I couldn't sleep so I thought I would look at the news...


Lo and behold I find myself reading.... http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/18/apontv.sweetnothing.ap/index.html

The article is just a preview for an up and coming movie about a deaf kid who could gain the ability to hear things if his asshole mom (who was also deaf) would let him. Her problem is that she doesn't want her son to hear because she would somehow be disgracing the "deaf community".
My opinion on the whole "deaf community" is basically.... fuck em.... What the hell is a deaf community anyway? More importantly who the hell would that kid offend by hearing anyway? Is there some deaf dude who is such a douche-bag that he wants everyone be miserable like him?
Fuck the mother if she would have her feelings hurt if her son wasn't deaf.


And lastly FUCK the deaf community for making this a controversial issue. This movie should have a no brainer plot, basically the kid is deaf so the mom lets him have the gift of motherfucking SOUND!


I'm never going to fall asleep now.....

Son of a bitch hes right

He shoulda thought about the goddamn box....

Equallity

Today in English class we got into a discussion of the quote in the book "Animal Farm" that goes as saying "Some are more equal than others." The teacher says that this is true in our world as well. I do not believe this.


While it is true that some people have more power and influence, they are still the same as everyone else when it comes to being human. Wealth and power are just tools created by man to "create" better people. Since these things are not actually part of us, we can deduce that if we were to remove these from a wealthy and powerful person that they would still be the same when it comes to being a human.
To give an example of when power was taken away from someone and that person was still the same human being as before. At the end of the age of slavery, white people lost their power to control their slaves, but were not changed in their "humaness". Not only did these white people lose their power but they lost a lot of wealth in the process and they still were the same humans.
All I'm saying is that equality is just a fact when applied to the humanity of humans. Morality, wealth, power, etc. are all different entities and should be treated as such. Just like I am not my money, my money is not what makes me equal.


Idk just a thought.

Obama Was Right

The recent backlash at Obama's "bitter" comment just prove that he is right. The American People are bitter because of the slump in the economy. Americans are bitter to the fat-cats in the oil companies for price gouging, and Americans are bitter towards the incompetency in the real estate business for getting their houses repossessed. Being bitter is the appropriate response to our circumstances, but bashing the guy who bares the message is just... well... bitter.

I Need More To Believe You

Someone talked to me today about what he said was the "real" Noah's Ark claiming it to be guarded by some "crazy Muslim guys in the Middle East". I doubted his claims....


Now he needs to explain to me fossils

And the recent discoveries of evolution

And how magic works

After that I'll believe him.

They are called jokes...

While I am particularly bad at the art of joke telling if I'm not overly loud, I still try at every chance I get. Most of the times I do say a joke everyone who laughs, didn't want to laugh. They don't disdain laughing, but I often make some jokes about some rather serious topics. I make jokes about things that people would call taboo.
In fact I've been called, insensitive, racist,rude,inappropriate, mean, hurtful, etc. But when I tell these jokes, I'm just doing what I know to make light of a shitty situation. I would expect you to do the same for me when I get in a shit situation. If I get AID's, call me a fag and make fun of me like there is no tomorrow.If I get cancer, say a joke about it.
Situations get much better when you can laugh at them.

Atlas II

Atlas II

You shrug for Man
not for the Olympian clan

Once great Titan of the Titanomachy
your fall from greatness
worse than all the Titans

Your crushed by the weight
of those you hate
You must protect the great desease
while your bent at the knees

Your destiny, your bain
shall drive you insane
The stinging pang for how far you have fallen
to become the new cellestial column

no circumvention from Zeus's invention
You were tricked by the Lion's Skin
to hold it again

you are thankful for the Medusa's curse
Turned to stone
For Athena knew nothing worse
than holding Earth all alone

Forever in stone you wait
For your ever distant fate

Atlas,you will shrug
Till the end of time

more propaganda

Good ol Propaganda

It's a Poem get over it.

Atlas

You hold the weight
of those you hate

Protect the great desease
while bent at the knees

Your crushed by the weight
while Zues seals your fate

Sustain the miserable and downed
Ouranos is your ground

Thankful for the Medusa's curse
Turned to stone
For Athena knew of nothing worse
than holding Earth all alone

Tricked by the Lion's Skin
to hold it again

Forever in stone you wait
For your ever distant fate

You shrug for Man
not for the Olympian clan

Atlas will shrug
Till the end of time

Things Look Bleak

It has become rather apparent that the world will be coming to an end soon, at least that's how it seems. I don't know when the world started getting hot or when the black hole in the center of the galaxy showed up but I don't like it at all. No I can't say that I dig those nukes or missiles that people continue to make. Most of all, I definitely do not enjoy the powerful people keeping us down.What do I enjoy? I can't really say. I mean just think about those super-viruses and new forms of cancer and tell me you see a light at the end of the tunnel. Yep... might as well give up.Or we could try to fix this. Either way were doomed.
Now lets get serious for a minute or two. The truth is Man won't always be around. From the looks of it, we don't have very long to wait. Such is the nature of species to die, and die we shall. Species are like individuals, both can prolong death so long as death has no reason of showing up. Sitting around won't help anything, and neither will planning everything out . Never before has a society, let alone a planet, gotten together and tried to solve problems that weren't immediately dire to said society. Man is great at living on the edge, making it's move as it goes along blind of whats in from of it. It may sound reckless for me to say we shouldn't plan our future in advance, but I'm being cautious in assuming that we would ignore all of the problems we would face waiting for everyone to get together and solve them. What we should do is solve our problems as they come as best as we can. Only then are we going to avoid the big things in the future.

What a Dip-shit

I saw a video earlier in the day that showed a fight between two members of different gangs fighting each other. Of course asshole #1 called asshole #2 some names and this man felt so sad about it he wanted to fight the other dumb ass. Of course the big guy kicked the little guys ass to the cement, and the guy walked off like he was a big man for pushing that small guy around.

I thought this was probably the most ridiculous temper tantrum on the planet. Asshole #2 needs to realize he is an adult probably living in a slum town. This idiot is going to set aside all the things he should be doing, in order to fight some dumb ass for calling him a name. I don't think this guy has much a reputation to protect, seeing as he almost killed another human being over an insult. For Christ's sakes, IM a bigger man than these guys.


I hope they don't reproduce.

Go fuck yourself... Dip-shit!

WHY YOU SHOULDNT EAT VEGETABLES

IGNORING CRUELTY TO VEGETABLES WONT MAKE IT STOP.
BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM!


The mass slaughter of living creatures is not tolerable. Obviously they aren't healthy to eat, and unlike animals, they cant even run away. And because all living things have the magical ability to think just like humans, I'm better than you savages for not eating them.





hehe
