FFFFFFFFFFRIDAY NIGHT

Ordinarily I'd be out and about at this time failing with women but the deadliest of man's enemies has reared its ugly head where I live:
there is a thin sheen of ice on the street.
Usually North Carolina drivers are whiny and anemic when it comes to the weather and driving but for once I feel their fear is rightly placed.
So here I sit and so shall I review another blog: ONTD_P, my old friend.
Where white women go to whine and feel self righteous on the internet.

"Larry Seabrook diverted hundreds of thousands of dollars from the public till into the pockets of his favored cronies. Today, he is a convicted felon, stripped of his City Council position, who must serve prison time. His sentence punctuates a powerful message that abusing government power to steal has serious consequences.."

Less powerful than the message I would have sent.
Ever heard of damnatio memoriae, Larry?

Check it out on Wikipedia and be thankful I'm not in charge.

U.S. Military Lauded For Creating Gender-Neutral Killing Field

My weapons in vidya gayms only seldom discriminate based on gender.

Yeah some weapons in Skyrim are more effective against the opposite sex if you have certain perks or whatever.

No I don't understand it either.

I think the Fallout series has similar perks in place, hmmm.

I remember particularly in New Vegas being a girl character could potentially behoove you since most of the enemies in the game were men and that 10% extra damage was often nice.

“The U.S. Armed Forces have been gender-neutral in their victims for years, and now they’re finally leveling the killing field for female combatants as well,” said Nadine Hynes, a retired Marine Corps Lance Corporal who was unable to add to the carnage of Iraq’s blood-soaked, limb-strewn slaughterscapes due to the Pentagon’s 1994 rule barring women from infantry and artillery roles.

This article seems like it might be a bit biased.

Props for the term "slaughterscapes" though.
I genuinely do like that coinage. 

You'd think they'd be thrilled. Finally men and women in an equal opportunity situation.

But nope, white women whinging yet again.

They want everything and nothing.

“Now, women will have the same opportunity to accidentally gun down innocent civilians or be ripped apart by insurgent rocket fire as men.”

I think they already had a chance of getting ripped apart by an RPG. 

... Weapons, especially projectiles and explosions, tend not to discriminate.

Also women are often employed by the army to drive trucks.

So they run people over regularly.

A Wisconsin high school is under fire after parents discovered that the 'American Diversity' class taught students that minorities had historically been oppressed by white people.

Don't major in education if that offends you, then.

Because all your education classes will be thus.

Here let me save everyone a ton of time wondering what an education education (har) is like:

DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE BLACK PEOPLE?
YOU'RE RACIST.

There we go.

Oh forgot one:

IF YOU'RE A MAN YOU'RE ALSO SEXIST AND POSSIBLY A RAPIST.

"They were told to go and count the number of dolls that were representative of blacks as opposed to whites," the parent said. "It’s meant to divide and victimize non-whites and condition whites to feel guilty and to be more passive."

Fun way to throw a spanner in the works:

"you know there are more than two races. Isn't reducing race to a binary inherently racist as well? What about Asians or Hispanics? Why are we reducing all white and all black people to two groups? Surely ethnic Africans face different challenges than African Americans or Aborigines. Surely there are different African cultures. Why are we calling Finnish people racist when most Finns haven't seen a black person before? What about all the other, similar European (white) cultures with a 100% homogeneous population?"

Usually they'll just stammer and skip over your questions but occasionally they'll level the ol' "well they're not multicultural so therefore they're racist." to which you can quickly respond with "and neither are countries like Korea or Japan or most of Africa, for that matter, and yet I don't hear similar sweeping claims about their culture's character."

The simple fact is you want to be in places like Europe or America (well maybe not Europe so much anymore and probably not America in 5-10 years) so everyone is mad fucking jelly.

Comments are, as expected, great:

fucking... white people LOL


also they don't get options being raised by their dumbass parents... so way to be dicks

mad because they giving kids REAL TALK

Fucking... Black people LOL.

The fact that this kind of class exists is a really good thing, I think. These are subjects that need to be discussed. Oppression of all types NEEDS to be acknowledged and discussed so it's not repeated.

Ironically the avatar this person has is a character from Shin Megami Tensei.

The series of video games that basically teaches oppression is inescapable and part of the natural order of the universe.

And if anyone reading this disagrees with that assessment of the series fuck you you're thrown into a world of gods and demigods as a mortal and force to pick one of three arbitrarily alignments and work for complete assholes towards goals you don't fully understand and probably wouldn't choose if you had free agency in your decision making in the first place.

Even the decidedly more humanist Persona series teaches you that whatever is going to happen to you will happen regardless of your decisions and the only thing you can do is control how you think about it.

Although Persona 3 does raise interesting (in my opinion) questions on the nature of fate and exactly how much agency an individual has in struggling against it.

But that was a common theme in Greek mythology anyway which was basically the entire underpinning to Persona 3.

Persona 4 picked Japanese mythology and consequently wasn't as good.

Something about a culture having to analyze its own values I suspect.

That or there is something very alien about Japanese mythology that even the Japanese acknowledge and seem to take some kind of pride in.

I personally like it for those characteristics but an interesting study in character it does not make.

Sorry I started talking about something almost totally unrelated.

This is really boring.

Arkansas schools could soon have an easier way to teach a Bible course as part of its public curriculum.

Republican state Rep. Denny Altes has proposed a bill that would allow the state's public school districts to adopt an elective curriculum for academic study of the Bible. The course would "consist of a nonsectarian, nonreligious academic study of the Bible and its influence on literature, art, music, culture and politics" and would "be taught in an objective and non devotional manner with no attempt made to indoctrinate students as to either the truth or falsity of the biblical materials or texts from other religions or cultural traditions."

And yet every public school

secular or deeply Christian

teaches the one true religion.

Waiter who refused service to customer becomes Web hero

Usually, when a waiter refuses to serve someone at a restaurant, customers complain. In this case, customers cheered.

The waiter in question, Michael Garcia, has been receiving goodwill and friend requests on the restaurant’s Facebook page since word spread that he stood up for a child with special needs.

Garcia, who works at the Houston restaurant Laurenzo's, was waiting on a family, regulars with a 5-year-old child, Milo, who has Down syndrome. The server said that another family at the restaurant commented on Milo’s behavior, which Garcia described as “talking and making little noises." Garcia moved the complaining family to another table, but they were still unhappy. "Special needs children need to be special somewhere else," the father reportedly said.

The waiter then took a stand. He told FoxNews.com that such talk is ignorant and is due to  people's fear of the unknown. "My personal feelings took over," he said, leading him to tell the father, "Sir, I won't be able to serve you.” The family left the restaurant.

So that's it, huh.

That's what it takes to be a hero nowadays.

You have to not do something.

...

Hercules strangled an invincible lion with his bear hands.

Perseus killed Medusa.

Theseus slayed the Minotaur.

Michael Garcia didn't do his job because someone was being an asshole.

Back in the day you had to have been part deity or done something actually impressive to warrant the title of hero.

Now you just have to have some class.

One bioethicist's modest proposal to combat obesity through socially motivated self-hatred

People don't hate being fat enough, basically, according to Hastings Center bioethicist Daniel Callahan. In an editorial published in the Hastings Center Report, he argues that nothing -- not diets, drugs, sugeries, nor appeals to our health -- is working, and goes on to make the case for fat-shaming people until they start eating more salad. 

When I become caesar and assume my dark throne I will make you minister of propaganda. 

Oh wow.

I don't know what this article is yet but the person posting it has as their avatar Adam Jensen from Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

...

Hope you guys realize what's next.

Why might a woman swallow lye? Gunpowder? Why would a woman hit herself about the abdomen with a meat pulverizer? A brickbat? Throw herself down the stairs?

BLAH BLAH BLAH THIS GOES ON FOR FIVE PARAGRAPHS.

MORE SHOCKING IF YOU USE THREE THEN GET TO YOUR POINT.

Because she wanted to end a pregnancy. Historically, women have chosen all those methods to induce abortion. The first known descriptions appeared around 1500 B.C. in the Ebers Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian medical text that mentioned an abortion engineered by a plant-fiber tampon coated with honey and crushed dates.

She never asked for this.

What is most striking about this history of probes and poisons is that throughout all recorded time, there have been women so desperate to end a pregnancy that they were willing to endure excruciating pain and considerable risk, including infection, sterility, permanent injury, puncture and hemorrhage, to say nothing of shame and ostracism. Where abortion was illegal, they risked prosecution and imprisonment. And death, of course.

Her neck was snapped and her body was burned beyond recognition by a high tech compound.

Many of the cures for these “ailments” were nothing but sugar and dust. But some of them were nonetheless quite effective. Those were the dangerous ones, containing as they commonly did, turpentine, opium, pennyroyal, aloes, snakeroot, myrrh or oil of rue. One of the most common ingredients was ergot, or claviceps purpurea, a fungus found on the stalks of grain. Women as early as the 16th century had observed that cows that consumed ergot miscarried their calves. The fungus, however, had disastrous side effects, called ergotism, also known as St. Anthony’s fire. Symptoms included a burning sensation in the limbs because of blood constriction, which led to gangrene. The poison could also cause seizures, itching, psychosis, vomiting, contractions, diarrhea and death.

Yeah, RIP. 

If the Supreme Court were ever to overturn Roe v. Wade, or if anti-abortion forces continue to successfully chisel away at a woman’s access to safe abortion, many women will still choose abortion — by their own hands. Leeches, lye and Spanish fly are still among the many tools available to the self-abortionist. So are knitting needles, with predictable, disastrous consequences. There is no law that will end the practice of abortion, only laws that can protect a woman’s right to choose it, or not, and to keep it the safe and private procedure still available to us in 2013, 40 years after the Supreme Court made it legal.

...

Both treat torture at secret CIA prisons as if it were a thing of the past, masking the reality of an enduring practice.

The controversy surrounding Zero Dark Thirty has been as misguided as the film itself, which opened nationwide on Friday. Much of the debate has centred on whether Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow's latest opus leaves viewers with the false impression that torture led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

All I know is that movie was fucking sweet.

Except when that one guy said bro way too much.

I wouldn't tell that jack off anything either.

The first third of Zero Dark Thirty is unadulterated torture porn, a display of medieval cruelty at various CIA and affiliated prisons. Strappado, drowning, sexual abuse, beatings, stress positions, loud music, stuffing people into boxes, sleep deprivation, but also

>medieval

>loud music

I was advocating taking a ball-peen hammer to his fingers in the theater myself.

I think people really over think torture.

Holy shit can you imagine how these snowflakes would react to my administration?
Jesus Christ.

Look I'm not saying the CIA was right.

I'm also not saying they're wrong.

I'm just saying if you want results a ball-peen hammer is often an effective information extractor. 

How do I know this?
Stands to reason.

and this is not acknowledged enough as torture - threats to send prisoners to countries where they would face further abuse (in the film, Israel).

Always an effective strategy. Threaten a kid with sending them to the classroom next door and they fold like playing cards.

It doesn't glorify anything, though. There's not an ounce of FUCK YEAH in it.

First sensible comment on ONTD_P I think.

It doesn't glorify anything.

It's a spy movie. It's pretty grounded.

I feel the same way. The movie made me super uncomfortable by the sound of it (I'd never watch any film depicting torture, especially torture that, you know, actually happened and is happening) and reading this strengthened my distaste.

>I haven't seen it but it's still awful

MAYBE

YOU'D FUCKING LOVE IT.

Oh my God what's happened?
ONTD_P is being reasonable about this.

No I don't understand.

Anyway I kind of lost my focus on this for an hour and now I've lost my mojo.

Goodbye I guess.

FEMINISM.

AHOY!

My brilliant colleague, Adrianne Wadewitz, was featured on Wikipedia last month. In this two-minute video, she talks about how she’s incorporated writing for Wikipedia into her classes and why it’s such a powerful teaching tool.

Wow no wonder Wikipedia is shit.
 Peer reviewed literature by professionals?
NAH BUNCH OF ASSHOLE KIDS TAKING SOC 101.

This article in The New York Times, by Choe Sang-Hun, fascinates me:

    [Jasmine] Lee, 35, who was born Jasmine Bacurnay in the Philippines, made history in April when she became the first naturalized citizen — and the first nonethnic Korean — to win a seat in South Korea’s National Assembly. Her election reflected one of the most significant demographic shifts in the country’s modern history, a change Ms. Lee says “Koreans understand with their brain, but have yet to embrace with their heart.”

    Only a decade ago, school textbooks still urged South Koreans to take pride in being of “one blood” and ethnically homogeneous. Now, the country is facing the prospect of becoming a multiethnic society. While the foreign-born population is still small compared with that of countries with a tradition of immigration, it is enough to challenge how South Koreans see themselves.

Welp.
Guess Korea is going to go to shit now.
Once you bow to the hydra that is pussy sensitivity and multiculturalism you're doomed.
Not that foreigners shouldn't be welcome but you know.
If you're in Korea you should learn Korean and do things the Korean way.
I don't see anything inherently wrong with that.
People say multiculturalism and I say a lack of respect for your host country.

In 1988-89, when I was teaching English in Seoul to the very privileged men and women who came to study at the hagwon where I worked, my students often used the phrase “one blood” when explaining to me why it was so important for Koreans to marry other Koreans–traditionally, as someone quoted in Choe’s article puts it, “someone born to Korean parents in Korea, who speaks Korean and has Korean looks and nationality. Their reasoning, I remember thinking at the time, i.e., that ethnic and cultural unity was the only way successfully to maintain Korean cultural identity and pass their traditions on from one generation to the next, sounded an awful lot like the arguments against interfaith dating and intermarriage that were part of my Jewish education in the United States. 

That's why I never fully understood the Nazi concept of the Jews being impure.
If there are a more puritanical people on earth than the Jewish people I'd like to see them.
It's a guy writing this entry.
Holy shit bro come on.
You'd think the story of a wise man would be interesting but it really isn't.
Come on man step it up.
I never thought I'd see a story of a wise man this lacking in glory.
And posted on a feminist blog.
Guess it just goes to show that you can still travel all the way to Korea, fuck a Korean chick and still not be a wise man.
There's some other inherent quality.
Incidentally this is one of those blogs where multiple people post and as far as I can see it's the last we see from this bro.
I think his main problem was he went for a married chick.
M8.
M8.
Check yourself.
He's a wise man. It doesn't mean he's very smart.

It seems to me that the purpose of the psychological concept of "the feminine" (--I am always wondering what that is--) is to create a definite gestalt (foreground-background outline) for feminine figures. 

Oh yeah that shit takes me back to pussy sensitivity.
This motherfuck is going to need a soundtrack.

The conceptual characteristics of "the feminine" are initially sought for, in the preliminary wandering of the eye over the field. Finally, once they are alighted upon, the outline of a "feminine" character comes into view. This is reassuring, since one has found what one was looking for.

If I'm playing Skyrim I don't care if it's feminine or masculine.
I don't want to see it in my field of vision or I might hit it with a crossbow bolt.

Supposing, however, one sets out in anticipation of discovering a feminine object. One perceives, in the field of vision, certain characteristics that roughly align with denotations of "the feminine". 

If it's a red dot on my compass I'm taking it down.

Yet, ultimately, the outline is not firm, the characteristics keep wavering, the object of vision seems to continue to shift. Would not the failure of the potential "feminine object" to stay within the lines of conceptual demarcation of femininity produce the sense of a "part object" rather than a whole object?

Then it's time to loot the bodies.
3 lockpicks and 5 gold THANKS A LOT BANDIT SCUM.

Is it possible that the inherent structural failure of the concept of "femininity" to return to the perceiver a pure enough feminine object, leading in turn to perscutory anxiety as one is left with only a "part object" (the parts of the object that remain feminine), is the cause of misogyny? The failure of the object to appear consistently with the characteristics expected of it produces a shattering of perception, which is threatening to the would-be perceiver of the complete feminine object. This is starting to sound a lot like castration anxiety, but I believe it is only partly related to that -- since here the mechanism of "castration" is in the faulty conceptualisation of "the feminine" as well as in the faulty anticipation of it.

Anyway, my experiences tell me that I'm onto something here. 

My experience tells me you're a twat that has no clue what the fuck you're even talking about.
Get fucked.

People have an insatiable appetite for violence. They will sit through films that depict murder, rape and torture with vile accuracy. In fact, the percentage of the film going public viewing and gorging on this shit is increasing which means that human beings are dangerously close to losing their sense of the gravity of cruelty as it is dished out to innocent people. How like human beings to sit through  gore and suffering on film, then discuss it for days via social networking sites: “Oh, did you see the new Tarantino movie? It was awesome!” 

Holy shit yeah it was.
Anyway, whining--

To put it simply, dating while feminist, black, queer, polyamorous, broke, and loud means not dating, kind of. I find that people who compliment any one of those traits too well completely fail in regards to the others. Thinking about feminism specifically, I’ve found that it’s cute and sexy to my partners when I’m abstractly theorizing about gender inequities.

Sorry, what?

Alex Williams at the Times is concerned. Very. Concerned. Alex is concerned that courtship may be over — young ladies don’t get asked on dates any more, they just receive 5am texts from nightclub bouncers saying, “sup.” 

Whatashame.

Unsurprisingly, the announcement of the relaunched title has already drawn protest from the sorts of people who think “fake geek girls” are destroying nerdom.

Well they are.
Being a huge faggot nerd is now reduced to watching  Big Bang Theory and having played a video game one time maybe but you were kinda drunk so you don't remember it too well.
Imagine if I wandered into your feminist whining session and said
I LISTENED TO A WOMAN WHINE ONCE I'M A FEMINIST LET ME SIT WITH YOU.
What would you say?
You'd say I wasn't a feminist.
There you go.
Same logic.
It's okay. You don't have to be a nerd.
Nerds don't have a monopoly on intelligence. You can be a non-nerd and still be smart.
You don't have to self identify as being a nerd to seem smart.
In fact anymore you'd probably look smarter if you didn't.

The first day of class in my literature course didn’t go well, and that’s putting it mildly. Students looked uncomfortable and terrified, refused to answer even the simplest questions, offered no reaction to my jokes, and stayed on the edge of their seats prepared to take off at any moment.

Really?
My first day went phenomenally.
Charmed the little bastards then one started giving me shit so I just looked him square in the eye and I said "you will learn by example or I will make you an example."
End of problems the rest of the day.
I find  "I'm going to throw the rules at you" works far better when framed as a threat.

We, the professors, are to blame for this sorry state of affairs. We are so scared of our own area of expertise, so embarrassed by it, so apologetic about having chosen it, that this attitude always contaminates our own students. We are on our way to becoming a glorified language school and all we do brings this prospect closer to us. Like a person who believes s/he is ugly or stupid and communicates this belief to others, we transmit our doubts over whether learning literature is a worthy pursuit to our students.

Not me. If you have a problem with stories the ancients thought were important enough to invent writing to tell your stupid ass then you can kindly remove yourself from my fucking class.
They didn't have computers to type this shit, either. Some guy had to chop a tree down and grind it into paper then squeeze ink out of an oyster or something and then he had to kill a bird to turn its feathers into a pen so he could tell you this.
It probably took half his life to assemble this shit.
Oh, the language is too confusing for you to figure it out?
Tough shit. The same guy that wrote this shit down considers a rock the latest invention of his day. There's no way he's more sophisticated than you are.
You're just fucking lazy.

I am done with this, people. I spent my childhood being embarrassed about loving books and hating athletics. I did not get 5 degrees in literary studies and publish 11 scholarly articles in respected, peer-reviewed literary journals only to find myself feeling embarrassed about loving to read once again. I am now declaring a battle against the belief that literature has no place at a university. I was part of the problem and now I will be part of the solution. If nobody wants to join me, I will be the solution.

I think your problem is you have five degrees.
Seriously what the fuck?
Do you need that much education to read a book?
You know I've had a lot of success with explaining to people that books are really just a stand in for the spoken word.
Which is what they are.

And don’t think I’m just saying this. I have a top-secret plan that I have already started to put into effect whose goal is simply to teach literature and vindicate this pursuit. The plan is top secret because I don’t have the energy for yet another round of discussions (in person, by email, on Skype, on the phone) about how the students are not prepared and they will hate literature anyway so why undermine my career and spoil my life trying. My career is fine, my life is fine. Stop being so worried about the imaginary horrors that await me if I actually practice my profession.

I can't tell you how often this conversation has occurred in my life:
"this is boring?"
"how can you say it's boring? It has a guy putting a cyclopes' eye out with a fiery poker."
"I don't get it."
"DID YOU TRY FUCKING READING IT?"
"Well no I gave up."
"WELL I CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOU JUST QUIT AFTER TWO SECONDS LEARN SOME FUCKING PATIENCE."
I can't tell you how powerful a tool "you're being lazy and learn some patience" is.
Kids can handle not knowing something.
They'll be fine never learning anything again.
For some reason a lot can't seem to abide the notion that they're lazy.

To my colleagues everywhere I want to say this: stop feeling apologetic for what you do. Do whatever you need to convince yourself that you are not selfishly practicing a self-indulgent hobby but are doing something important. Do it now before you have apologized us all out of a field of learning and a career. You don’t need to prettify the teaching of literature or convince anybody it is useful. Just convince yourself already.

Next time I apologize for teaching these ungrateful bastards something will be a first.

A beautiful defense of idealism: “Idealism is the only mindset which produces change. Without the determination to achieve a higher goal, and the courage to affirm that goal in the face of what exists, no one has ever achieved anything of value. The wet noodle mindset of “good enough” has never produced any value for anyone except exploiters and rulers. The willful acceptance and tolerance of evil generates more evil, and has never generated anything but more evil.” People keep accusing me of being an idealist as if it were something bad. This is a great response to them.

Fucking stupid idea filled with non sequiturs.
Implying what, change is inherently good?
That the concept of "good enough" is what allows the ruling class to rule?
Having courage or goals isn't inherent to being an idealist, either.
I'm possibly the most cynical person alive and I still have both things.

As my imaginary boyfriend Neil Degrasse Tyson said, “Boy, I wonder what profession all of these senators and congressmen have? Law, law, law, law, businessman, law, law. And I said, you know, where are the scientists? Where are the engineers? Where’s the rest of life represented here?”

Neil Degrasse Tyson is pretty much one of the best Americans alive now.

Thank goddess it’s Friday. 

God of time is Chronos.
He's not a woman.
Prepare to be purged, heretic.
Anyway time for SOMETHING ELSE.
FUCK BLOGS.

THE COLORS OF AMERICA

This blog is so FUCKING AMERICA.
It's funny that this comes up because I was just talking to my mom about these insane conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook that basically read like the worst 24 fanfiction you've ever read: Sandy Hook didn't happen and is in fact just a government conspiracy to TAKE OUR GUUUUNS AWAY!
Because, you know, our guns are the only thing shielding us from a police state.
Ignoring for the moment that if the US government were really bent on declaring martial law I don't think a bunch of hillbillies with rifles would be able to stop the military equipped with unmanned attack drones.
They also have planes that fire guns so fast it doesn't sound like shooting. It just sounds like something slipped a belt or something.

On Wednesday, January 16, 2013 – President Obama announced 23 Executive orders moving toward a more responsible environment surrounding Gun Control for Military Assault Weapons. Finally, recognizing that comprehensive background checks are necessary to REDUCE the availability of firearms in the hands of people who could or would misuse those firearms. The NRA has taken their opportunity to exercise it’s 1st Amendment rights to condemn ANY responsibility applied to their sponsors.

OBAMA HATES OUR FREEDOMS.
HE IS A COMMUNIST MUSLIM.
Also I'm not sure where this blogger is going to land on this issue.
I haven't read much of this blog, all told.
I just kind of noticed the nausea-inducing layout and color scheme and decided to roll with it.
It is, after all, in the four colors of the American flag: red, white, blue and black.

NRA is sponsored by a Multi-Billion Dollar Industry that profits from purchases of Military Weapons and profits from armed conflict and from Drug Cartels.  These weapons manufacturers supply the ordinary citizen PLUS Armed Militias, Drug Cartels and Terrorists (by proxy … of course).  This industry really has no interest in any reasons for  conflicts or consequences, they just know that’s where the money is! It’s always about the money.

THE NRA IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
THAT OBAMA FUNDS.
BECAUSE HE IS MUSLIM.

In America, the weapons industry is funding NRA attacks on President Obama.

Oh all right so the NRA hates Obama because he is a terrorist Muslim.
I get it.
I wonder how many more terror watch list words I have to hit before the government hits my house with a drone.
Muslim
terrorist
9/11
Obama
government conspiracy
fuck the police
that should do it.

NRA resents applying the word RESPONSIBILITY applied to gun ownership.  President acknowledges the rights of responsible gun owners, hunters, sports and collectors. 

OBAMA WANTS MY CHEAP .22.
IT'S THE ONLY THING SAVING ME FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

There are currently 114 Gun Manufacturers in America according to WIKI: Firearms manufacturers in the United States

It's the only industry the US still has.
Obama hates industry.
Also the first one on the list makes airsoft guns.
That is, guns that shoot harmless plastic pellets that are basically toys for grown ups.

Dr. David Healy, author of The Antidepressant Era, Let Them Eat Prozac, and ‘Pharmageddon,  did a lot of research to create a comprehensive chart of cause and effect of antidepressants and violence in America. Even though this chart list is very incomplete, it does illustrate the predominant connection to a greater formula for disaster, here in America. It is a formula that cannot be stopped easily. Endangering society to reap financial profit is criminal!  Among those profiting from the combination of Drugs, Weapons and Disinformation is Doctors, Lawyers, Gun Manufacturers, Drug Manufacturers, Hollywood, Anarchists and Armageddon Advocates.

The most insane thing I've ever quoted in a blog.
Also where does one get a job as an Armageddon Advocate (proper noun) and how do I become one?

OMG the Sunday Morning talk shows got to me again! America’s politics is nothing but a script written by bitter old men! Who are these bitter old men?

Why is this blog now reading like the opening from Deus Ex?

Are they the Republicans who have been in politics for a very long time? Unlike younger Republicans, they have not updated their political stances in the last couple of decades and are less willing to compromise than their more youthful and practical  counterparts.  The problem with the “Old Guard” is that they are entrenched and are “owned” by special interests.  Old Guard on both sides are polar opposites and operational governance is at a standstill!

That's it.
It's FEMA, the Illuminati and the Majestic 12.
FUCKING BOB PAGE AND HIS UNIVERSAL CONSTRUCTOR.
FUCK YOU PAGE INDUSTRIES, FUCK YOU.

The West Bend Republican calls for an end to Kwanzaa, which he describes as a fake holiday aimed at dividing blacks and whites.

Well it's provably invented by white people.

WIKI: Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration held in the United States (and, more recently, Canada) but also celebrated in the WesternAfrican Diaspora. The celebration honors African heritage in African-American culture, and is observed from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a feast and gift-giving. Kwanzaa has seven core principles (Nguzo Saba): Unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. It was created by Maulana Karenga, and was first celebrated in 1966–67.

Oh let me try my hand at this insane theorizing.
Uhhh okay.
So Kwanzaa was invented by white people to keep the black man down.
How can you have self-determination if you have collective responsibility and cooperative economics?
You don't see "collective responsibility and cooperative economics" as a major theme in white culture, do you?
Keepin' the successful blacks down by combining them wholesale with the less successful blacks.
You don't see me culturally taking responsibility for white trash.

The Mayans and many civilizations that preceded us have lessons that we have ignored. Each of those crumbled civilizations missed something crucial to their survival through arrogance and distraction.  Political and Religious head games replaced common sense necessary for survival.

The Mayans were overwhelmed by the vastly superior technological base of the Spaniards.
They were a remarkably sophisticated society for an area not rich in iron.
If you want to see how important iron is to empire building and technology just cross reference historical iron and steel production with the wealth and spread of an empire.

The modern world, and Western Civilization especially, has hurt itself by distracting it’s children from the common sense and understanding of the world around them, and how it works.  Western Education has replaced common sense, and the rules of cause and effect, with political and religious head games, with emphasis on technology.

Yes.
Because religions are well known for their full embrace of technological innovation.
See also: the European Dark Ages (emergence of Christianity) and the Islamic world today.
Seriously what the fuck does that even mean?
Outside of some interpretations of the god Hephaestus in ancient Greece who the fuck literally worships technology?
Are you talking about like the Adeptus Mechanicus from Warhammer?
Worship of the Omnissiah?
Because if that's what you think happens I have some news for you:
unfortunately that shit isn't real.
Have you ever actually been in a school before?

The technical world has blinded the human symbiotic relationship with planet earth.  Our urban children have no clue where their Big Mac comes from.  Rural children cannot relate to how crowded and fragile communities exist in large metropolitan cities.   

We have a symbiotic relationship with the earth.
Apparently.
What does symbiosis mean?
I don't know. I just put these words on my crazy blog without looking them up.
Symbiosis in a literal sense just means we live together with it.
We are living with the earth so I'd say we've maintained that relationship.
How you meant it is mutualism which we provably don't have with the earth.
The earth doesn't need us to survive.

 This disconnect between urban and rural, with the dependence on high technological devices and systems, has driven a huge wedge between parts of western culture.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
I have so many questions about this one sentence.
Haven't we always depended on "high technology"?
Protip: people in the dark age didn't consider themselves as living in a dark age. They just thought they were the latest, greatest thing.
We've depended on interaction between urban and rural centers for thousands of years. That's what a trade economy is.
Driven a huge wedge between parts of the western culture?
Which parts, where?
Western civilization has had a long and remarkably peaceful existence for much of its recent and even recent past history (a few cataclysmic events notwithstanding) history.
Compare that to the middle ages or the ancient times?
Holy shit you have it so easy you don't even know.

We have no idea how stuff works or where it comes from, we just know we must have it …. 

Throughout much of history people haven't manufactured most of what they use.
That's the point of specialization.
If everyone generalized in everything you needed to survive you'd HAVE A HUNTER GATHERER SOCIETY YOU DIPSHIT.
I feel like I spend a lot of time saying this when I update lately.
All I can say is women and politics don't mix.

What is it with sick white boys? Their mental health is dominated with macho, bullying and revenge for real or perceived insults to their manhood.  They feel it necessary to be violent to get respect. They will challenge anyone who suggests they need help.

The problem is they marry white women.
LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED SOME ICE FOR THAT BURN HAR HAR HAR.
Seriously fuck you.

The glory of violence is in our face every day and is the accepted option offered to our children daily. Look at all the heroes we offer up to our children.  Before WWII it was cowboys and Indians and frontier wars with well-defined good and bad guys. After WWII it was the GI Joe mentality.

 
Yes, so let's just continue to emasculate them like we've been doing.
Thank you modern society.
No wonder I have problems when a class is mostly boys. You just funnel fast food and soda down their throats and put them in front of the TV-- you don't talk, you don't listen to them and then you send them to me with the emphatic order that if they act like boys there will be fucking trouble.
NO WONDER THEY DON'T LISTEN.
Case in point, last week I had a math class (oh God please help me)
actually I can end that thought there. The problem was me teaching math.
Anyway these two kids (boys) were picking at each other endlessly.
Finally one hit the other in the arm (fairly hard) and the kid runs up to me and tells on him.
"So hit him back?" is what I said.
He did.
END OF FUCKING CONFLICT. THEY WERE BROS AFTER THIS.
Jesus Christ, people.
This isn't some grand mystery.
Now if there were actually a fight that would have been different but Jesus Christ let kids act like kids.
Then she linked me to this and I think we've officially gone off the deep end.
All we need to complete this image is a Matriarch butterfly and we're in.
THE CIA IS SENDING MIND CONTROL WAVES.
Here's a post where she's whining about how our poison water is killing us--
ignoring conveniently for most of human history (including the majority of the world today) water quality is absolutely appalling and yet somehow we carry through--
Nope, don't get it.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency – FEMA – became an object of derision as it appeared to sit by helplessly as thousands suffered and died  

That's because years of scifi dystopia has programmed me to consider FEMA as literally the devil.
Anyway fuck blogs.
