Oddly, this is not a religious rant. As it turns out, many arrogant assholes are pissed off at TIME magazine for a recent cover. It depicts the soldiers raising the American flag during Word War II, except TIME replaced the flag with a tree to signify the current global climate change.
People are outraged by this and find this to be desecration of "our" soldiers. I will give these assholes a small credit for stating that too many Americans died in the war, but I will also provide them with a gigantic middle finger "fuck you" because too many people (not just Americans) died in that war. Do not forget, it was NOT just Americans that died in that war. Remember the 6 million jews, and hundreds of thousands of brainwashed Germans, amongst many others.
Some old woman at work was highly offended by this TIME magazine cover. The only reason she could give is because "too many people died."
I really want to preface my response to this, because I think it is important and shows that I am certainly not bias. I will start off by stating I drive a V8 Monte Carlo. I could not care less about you or your offspring. I fucking hate environmentalists with a passion. I could not care less if this planet burns up and kills all life on Earth 100 years from now. I truly do not give a fuck, but...
If you actually do care, know that global warming/global climate change is real, and it is significantly more rapid than previously thought. Again, I couldn't care less about you or your offspring, but if you do care about your offspring, maybe you should start listening to people that know what they are talking about. Change your ways and help the environment and protest asshole corporations that do not support your view. But do not be an asshole toward individuals. Individuals to not contribute much at all for Carbon emmissions. Sure, inform them, but do be an asshole to them.
If you are an asshole environmentalist, kill yourself. You produce a good amount of CO2 each time you exhale a breath. If you are an asshole environmentalist that confronts individuals and claim they have already destroyed the environment just by throwing away a Starbuck's coffee cup in the trash instead of recycling it, you deserve death. Your natural CO2 emmissions will not be missed.
Now back to symbol worship. Supposedly, you are not supposed to wear a hat in school, in church, or during the "pledge of allegiance."
Why -- the fuck-- not? "It's disrespectful" is the best answer I can get. No one can provide an answer with logic behind it. The people that spout this nonsense are false patriots. They have no clue what our right-next-to-perfect Constitution says.
I am truly embarassed to be an American. There is a good reason Canadian Passport covers are a hot item. Ridiculous motherfuckers have monopolized the voice of this country and this country is full of ridiculous motherfuckers that sponser these assholes that speak for this country.
This is what other countries see. This is why other countries view us as arrogant pricks, because that is the majority of our media. Sean Hannity should not be our spokesperson.
For the first time in about 40-50 years we have a chance of voting in a non-corrupt politician as president, who also happens to be black. This is unheard-of. But this motherfucker prefers Star Trek over Star Wars. Fucking Trekkies!!!!
But the positive thing, he was smart enough to realize that that faggoty-ass lapel pin of the flag was just another form of idol-worship and got rid of it. But... he's still a Trekkie, so fuck him.
I posted this under the "Life" category instead of the "News/politics" category for a reason. News and politics have much to do with this, as does religion and philosophy, but the core point is the continuation of the human species. I, personally, could not care less what happens to humans after I am toast, but I am sure the majority of you do.
Listen to the environmentalists (but not the crackpots that get off placing blame, fuck them) and try to do your part helping the environment. Recycle, drive less, etc. Punch false patriots in the face. It will make you feel good and they deserve it. If you ever talk harshly of this country and someone tells you to leave if you do not like it, rob their identity and fund your trip to another country that is significantly less corrupt on their credit cards. If they felt so strongly on you leaving this country they would have offered you the money anyway.
