Jena 6

September 21, 2007

Punish the Jena 6.  What they did was wrong.  Letting them off the hook because Jesse Jackson and 150k Californians are angry is wrong.  Yes, some punk hung some hangman's nooses in a tree.  O.  M.  G.  I once heard a black guy refer to a white guy as a racist.  I guess I should beat the shit out of him as well.

 

Bah.

Maybe I'm just a moron, but does there really need to be a constant struggle among Americans about whether it was Osama Bin Laden or George W. Bush that masterminded the 9/11 attack?  What amazes me most is that those who would support the theory of Bush's being the mastermind are also the ones who loudly and proudly proclaim that he is an idiot with an IQ of 80.  I personally wouldn't want to broadcast that an "overglorified monkey" had fooled me.

 

If nothing else, let it lie.  By bringing up conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory, we will perpetuate this into something much worse than it originally was.

 

Let's pretend for a moment that the attack was carried out by a sect of zealot Muslims with a rather poor understanding of the Koran (this taken from the mouth of a Muslim friend of mine).  If this is the case, then there would be justifiable reason to determine the identity and location of the sect and eliminate it.  Taking out the Taliban is not necessary, but is still a good thing to do.  Taking out Saddam Hussein was not necessary, but it was still a good thing to do.  But if it was a terrorist cell, get the cell, not everyone else around them.

 

Now let's pretend for a moment that it's a vast government conspiracy that was covered up by a Republican government and a bipartisan investigation committee made up of Congressmen and women from all over the country.  If this is the case, then we must completely get rid of all incumbents (because we can't trust them, obviously) and elect an entirely new government.  But nobody wants to do that much work, do they?  They'd rather sit around and complain about how evil and bad the government is for killing its own people, then the people of other nations, and calling it freedom and democracy.

 

Now for a rabbit trail that has nothing to do with this...

 

It's kind of weird to word what I'm thinking right now.  Basically, if genocide, treachery, and ill-conceived wars had not been fought, then the United States would not be here, so we would not be able to sit around and complain incessantly about how bad we are.  I'm not saying that genocide is a good thing, but it's one of those things that we as Americans kind of like to sweep under the rug.  Taking this thought process a step further, why is there not a Native American history month?  Why is there not a Hispanic History Month?  Maybe I'm just a silly racist, but shouldn't all minority groups be treated equally fair?  It's not as if the African Americans were the only minority group treated unfairly; in fact, many groups today are still being treated unfairly by blacks and whites.

 

Bleh.

This is a website that I have where I'll start posting my things as I write them up.  Enjoy!

Another fresh idea

May 17, 2007So I keep talking about things I'd like to write or things I've written, you know?  I figured, "Hell, I've got a few websites strewn about the Interwebosphere, so why not toss some of them out there so that goobers who get lost after taking the wrong turn on the road to Google can have something to make fun of?"  Now I'm going to start posting my things on my websites; the URLs will be listed in a future blog; feel free to go, read, and post comments on here to make fun of them.  I will likely do so as well.

I've found that I like to come up with ideas that aren't entirely innovative, but also aren't the same as other things...sort of adaptations of age-old principles to modern-day affairs that many people with whom I have contact don't seem to think about.  I had an idea similar to these last week, so I figured I'd toss a short blurb about it onto Phusebox before I get all in-depth into trying to write about it.  Expect this to come later tonight or some time tomorrow.

Hint 1: it's about marriage, sex, pornography, God, and other such related topics from an oft-forgotten and many times misinterpreted (in my own opinion) passage from the Bible.

Hint 2: 1 Corinthians chapter X

So, when I post, I would be more than happy to have folks comment on it and/or ask questions.  It's not necessarily a full exegetical work, nor is it a staunch matter of my opinion, so things should not be as bumpy as some of my other discussions have been.  If nothing else, I'll enjoy writing the thing.
