More on this @ Gawker.com (Great news source, but not better than this blog)
I cannot believe what I am reading. All my paranoia and conspiracies about the internet become truer by the day. Don't you sit there when your internet slows down and your trying to spread some message that you know the government would not enjoy, and wonder...hmm...is this the government slowing my internet down or blocking this site?. A message like "yeah, try drugs, their not that bad." or "keep the media and government and politics seperate." You get what I'm saying, point is, you are not harming anyone by saying these words. "Human to animal Contact"? W...T...F... is going on. First their passing a bill allowing military personnel to have sex with animals and now I see this? What on earth is going on? I know bestiality harms living creatures but words?? Come on. I was bullied in middle school and to be honest, I really don't enjoy all this focus on bullying. Kids are kids, and there will be an endless waterfall of cruelty among them forever. So you can sell all the lady Gaga t-shirts you want but it's not going to stop those tears or those suicides.
Anyway back to the subject at hand here, another thing I notice and have confirmed lately with news stories like this is that there are also "spies" or as I like to think of them as "plants" or "pawns", that go into forums and spread anti-radical or anti-movement propaganda. I always suspected this and I learned it's a real problem among the internet community (the ones trying to change the world with words, the very thing that attracts government spies).
So, you're telling me that you are going to pay me to read someone's twitter all day? Or to go into internet forums/youtube videos and say "The NDAA doesn't exist, they are trying to scare you". Game on, I'm there. Would you sell out and do this, knowing that you are destroying your own dignity and just plainly a bad american and the opposite of a patriot? I'm really asking myself this. Words are harmless but spying is not kosher. I really think these jobs are just created for the sole purpose of creating jobs, and creating job growth. What do you think? I've considered that there aren't enough of these jobs to even effect the percentage of jobs created, but useless jobs like this could contribute to employment thus getting whoever in charge re-elected. Everything is political.
On the subject of words creating harmful situations I also think it's complete bullshit that you can lock someone up in a hospital for saying they are suicidal or saying they want to kill themselves. Fuck it, I don't even care if someone is saying they're going to kill others, or many. They really don't mean it, if someone is going to kill themselves, it's most likely that their just going to do it. If someone going on a murder rampage, their going to do it. Not the gas station attendant that got his hands dirty with no tip and a customer with a bad attitude who is going to "kill" somebody. Our freedom of speech is non-existent when it comes to these things.
Tying all this together, when I was in seventh grade (and getting bullied hard), I made an observation when seeing a picture of some "peanuts" characters (charlie brown). It was one of those in between the motivational posters. It depicted children of all different cultures, colors, and religious creeds holding hands around the globe.
"There's no kid in a wheelchair," I said, "There's usually a kid in a wheelchair" A very sharp and true observation.
We had these new things called "bully slips", and my teacher, being in this ignorant PC civilization, gave me one, and I got in trouble, for some harmless words I'm pretty sure I said to my best friend. How is this bullying? I don't know. Taking political correctness to this level is sickening and self-defeating. Hypocritical and nonsensical.
So next time someone "threatens" to kill you, man up and take those words, then consider getting him a gift basket, I hear those work.
Word move people. If enough comments are out there in the internet saying X is a lie more people will just believe it. People are built to take what they see around them and weigh there choices, if they're constantly bogged down with one opinion they will conform to it. Words are power.
ReplyDeleteAlso your teacher sounds like a cunt. There is always a kid in a wheel chair in those pictures (ones from the 80's onward) but since Peanuts is older there all white kids with no disabilities. Your teacher should have given you a gold star for that observation. But most teachers are cunts. Most people get bullied in school too (even bullies, its a higherarchy!) So school sucks. Kids should be homeschooled, or taught by individual adults who can comprehend things.
I will always remember the words you said here.
Things are getting crazy. I'm hoping people stand up against this soon, but the way it's looking, we would *NEVER* reach a critical mass to bring about change. : /
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing is scary.
ReplyDeleteI don't know... I feel nowdays people are using the term "bullying" in a very wrong and broad way. like to justify things.
ReplyDeletereal bullying is a serious problem, I know. but ignorance is a great problem too
truth.
ReplyDeleteWell said, I guess truth is always just a matter of perspective and without everyone being able to freely express their truth, we will live in a world of ignorance and oppression
ReplyDeleteFantastic read! This is the total truth
ReplyDeleteInteresting and well written post!
ReplyDeleteI'm not really surprised, I think we are controlled all day by the real rulers of this world. I'm not talking about conspirations or anything like that... is just, the way of the world.
ReplyDeleteToo much conformity in this world, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeletemakes your basic conspiracy theory movie seem like a documentary
ReplyDeleteThe decay of our rights and liberties will continue only as long as we allow it too. If you don't take action, it's just as much your fault as those who vote for these bills.
ReplyDeletequite a bit worry some, no?
ReplyDeleteIt isn't paranoia if they really are out to get you!
