I’ve made some changes to my blog settings, seeing that I am about to drop a huge hornets nest, I figured I would at least give the masses something honest they can complain about rather than the third party information that is going to get passed around. My page is now PUBLIC (as are the comments) and they will remain as such until I get bored of all the whining. Nothing I am about to say violates the yahoo TOS agreement, and none of my other blog entries do either, so for any that feel the need to get stupid and attempt to retaliate by reporting me, knock yourself out. Something in me cares I will let you know when I find it.
I’ve got so many things to say I don’t even know where to start.
I guess I will address the ARMCHAIR POLITICIANS first. Over the past few months I have read SO many blogs about war and the needless thoughtless death of the innocents and all the other jazzy crap that tends to go along with those “oh so touching” sentiments. Now, a few in particular have really made me laugh. They are posting all these “touching” stories ~depending upon their left or right wing “brilliant” philosophies~ regurgitated from CNN and offering up tributes to innocent casualties while bitching about how they would fix the world. They sit in their $200,000+ homes, drive their $20,000+ vehicles, eat their 3+ meals a day, work their $20+ an hour jobs and figure that they have it ALL figured out. Puhhhh’lease. Freeking spare me.
These oh so brilliant armchair politicians have NEVER looked down the barrel of a gun in a war zone and realized it was you or them. They have NEVER had to sit beside the phone for DAYS and MONTHS on end praying, wishing, hoping, and offering anything and everything they could think of to their chosen higher power to protect their loved ones who are currently staring down the barrel of said gun. They preach for peace and justice for the innocents but will they EVER contemplate getting off their asses and away from their computers to actually VOLUNTEER to go peace keep in a hostile country? Oh hell no. That isn’t the way things are done in the land of the brave or the home of the free. (and before all of my American pals take offence, I am talking to ALL the free countries, not just USA)
This planet has been involved in war since its creation. Whatever you choose to believe about how we all got here, the fact remains that someone has always fought with someone else about something that no one else on the planet could even begin to fathom understanding. Who are we to tell another country how to govern themselves when these same armchair politicians will tell their children “don’t talk to the homeless man sweety” while ignorantly muttering “get a job” when the same homeless man begs you for money for the first meal he’s probably had in days all the while looking down their noses which are holding up designer sunglasses that were made in the third world country they are currently prattling for peace in.
These same armchair politicians will spend hours, days, months, and in some cases, their entire lives complaining about the “illegals” and how they are stealing honest work from the honest citizens all the while they are still sitting on their asses collecting welfare (or the equivalent) and when they do decide to leave their houses and go to the mall, these same people leave their food court trays full of fast food garbage on the table for the “ILLEGAL” person to clean up after them. Again, Puhhhhh’lease. Freekin spare me. Don’t bitch about someone doing the job you deem below you to do. All these people want is a better life for their families and their future generations. All they want is clean water, habitable housing and safe food to eat. All they want is a good education for themselves and their children and unlike the “real” citizens of the country they are willing to do ANYTHING offered to them to make those steps in improving their lives.
Who are we to tell ANYONE how to fix their countries when we can’t fix our own?
I am so bloody tired of the hypocrisy. I don’t want to hear your recycled bullshit from history books. I don’t want to hear your deluge of rancid venom in attempting to support one side or the other in any of the wars this world is currently involved in. I simply don’t care. I don’t agree with war but I DO support the men and women who are in the hostile zones doing the jobs they were trained to do. Show some pride in your damn country already. Show some LOGIC and TOLERANCE. Show that you are more than what CNN tells you that you are. Seek out opposing view points and EDUCATE yourself. Seek out the innocent people you care so much about who actually LIVE in the hostile zones you are bellowing for peace in and truly learn what their daily lives are like. If you really want to expand your mind, seek out the innocent people from BOTH sides and find some compassion and empathy within you for BOTH of them.

Next on my hit list are the pathetic attention seeking wanna-be suicidal maniacs. You all know them. They are the ones with the “dark” blogs and the REALLY badly written poetry that their deluded circle of psychopaths…err…yea…I mean “friends” praise as brilliant. They are the ones with the clever “ologies” about life that make them feel so knowledgeable and open minded but when challenged on their (lack of) thought processes they immediately get vindictive and spiteful. They are the ones that wallow and whine that NO ONE understands them and NO ONE loves them and NO ONE will ever find worth in them…well…umm…NO SHIT. How can you expect someone else to understand you, love you, and feel that you are worthy to them if you can’t feel those things on your own for yourself by yourself first?!?!?!?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next up are the people that PRETEND to be friends with you so they can attempt to manipulate you with information you may release to them to gain…what I am not really sure, but they see it as gaining something. You all know the type. The ones that will offer you all the platitudes in the world while oooooooozing sympathy all the while plotting to attempt to destroy you. Why the hell can’t these people just be honest? Is it REALLY that hard? You can bet that people know EXACTLY who their friends are and you can bet that people know EXACTLY who the hanger-ons are. Their friends are the ones that will be there for them in ANY weather. The hanger-ons are the ones that will say “aww damn, I am so sorry that happened to you…but hey, do you think if I sleep this guy I am meeting for the first time tonight that people will call me a slut?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am just so damn tired of the plastic dance. I am simply not doing it anymore. Love me, hate me, I really don’t care. I know who I am and what I stand for. I know who loves me and who doesn’t. Keep me on your lists, don’t keep me on your lists, I really don’t care. From here on in, don’t ask me what I think unless you are prepared for the answer. I am tired of offering platitudes to simply supply their delusions to the people who pretend to be my friend. My true friends know who they are and they (should) know that NONE of my rant applies to them. *smiles sweetly*
