As not what your country can do for you...

...because it looks grim. Perhaps it is a little too late, despite our new President working as soon as he can.

I mean there have been so many layoffs, bailouts (which is the worst "solution" a  government has ever thought of [I guess capitalism is a dying concept, huh?]), and other things hitting our failing economy, it seems the financial world is on it's last leg.

They say power in numbers, right? What exactly did they mean when they said that though? I mean did they mean power in numbers of money, numbers in weapons, or did they actually think we would buy into the fact that power in numbers means power in the number of people that support you?

Maybe they had something there. Maybe it is us that lost the meaning behind the saying. I mean if so many of us are in poverty, then why hasn't the economy become any better? I think I saw this in a class before, yeah it was a history class. They called them the "royalty" and the larger folks were called serfs, peasants, fiefs, etc.

You know they revolted against those people, and eventually they got what they rightfully should have. Of course, they're were inalienable rights no one could take away. Or at least that's how it was supposed to be *cough*prop eight*cough*

Rather than using our powerful numbers for what we need, we have used it on ignorant desires. I say unto thee, we need to come together and rise to the occasion and grasp what we need, yet we also must know what every man, woman, and child has rights that cannot be taken away.

The right to freely worship what you will, the right to freely speak, the right to defend themselves, the right to peacefully gather (assemble), the right to deny host to any guest, the right to one's own privacy and to keep one's privacy, the right to be tried by a group of one's own peers, the right to remain silent, and the right to a speedy trial.

Hmm, I guess I can see how people get confused with these rights since they have been under so many different names, Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, inalienable rights, yea I can see why you'd be confused.

Whatever, if so many people rather get up and give in to the ignorance of the few, than so be it. But if you wish to come together for something that makes a positive difference give me a call.

Your going to be a father...

...now what are you going to do? What your going to lock her up for 24 years, rape her, have children with her and lock them up with her?

I mean there is no one that would ever do that, right? Wait your just going to send them on a 10 mile trek in freezing weather by themselves while you go back to town when you get the car working again? Oh, that's what I thought you said. Nothing wrong with that, and if anyone says otherwise I'll let them know the other side of the story and they will completely understand that you're not a murder, just an opportunist.

To be a father, apparently has begun to slowly take a different meaning to others in society. Granted it is mostly to those that are most demented, but still, fatherhood for those is different.

I suppose it shocks me more because so many villains in fairy tales, Disney or otherwise, are of the maternal persuasion. When really look no further than the paternal flame and you'll much more horror than any mother can bring upon a child.

I mean these two stories of Josef Fritzl and Robert Aragon sound disgusting, but at the same time they don't shock me as much as I expected. Ladies and gentleman, meet our new inspiration for fairy tale villains.

But in all honesty, though these are most egregious acts, these aren't quite exactly as rare as one would think. We'll in their severity, yes, but the principle behind it, not so much.

For instance, 7% of rape, well that is reported mind you, which means it could be more, is done by a relative. Now even though it isn't stated who the relative is, 7% of 272, 350 is roughly 20,000. That's how many are raped by relatives, so even if only a small portion is by fathers, that is still the most disturbing and unnerving thing to know. Oh and that number doesn't even include those under 12.

Now though I don't have the exact numbers on whether or not the 500 parental homicides reported between 1976 and 2005 were more paternal rather than maternal, I do know this, some fathers are much more aggressive than mothers.

Point is this, when your offspring is born, and your declared a father, certain bonds are created. You become the guiding star and the lion of that child, the one they will wish to become and hope will keep them safe and warm in spite of all the hostilities of the world. Instead some decide to take that unique trust, compassion, unconditional love, and ravage this frail being for their own desires.

How in their right minds can they do such a thing? Is this convoluted way of thinking somehow etched in our psyche somewhere deep in the darkest reaches of the human heart? Is it only revealed in those tainted and corrupted, those who act on these primal urges even if the victim is they're own flesh and blood?

Hopefully through the captivity of those who have been committed for such crimes will help us discover these secrets so that no other man can be like this and hopefully the bond will once more be sacred.

It's been a while...

...says the father to his boy as he turns off the T.V. He tells the boy that he isn't proud of him and that he needs to strive to do better, and hopes that when he gets back from his business trip that he does. Then turns the T.V. back on.

Something wrong with that scenario? If you said no, there's two reasons for that, one being that you either were raised this way and know nothing different or because you are allowing your children, the future of the world, to grow up under these circumstances.

Oh and did I mention, this is what that parent would consider a heart to heart talk. Some quality time spent there, huh?

Fading are the days where parents would burst into burst into their child's room and scream, "get dressed were going to the movies!" And gone are the days where families would sit down at dinner together and discuss their troubles in life.

I don't blame this entirely on the participants of this scenario, but they are a large factor. For ultimately it is there decision to hand over parenting to the entertainment industry. Of course we know all the excuses, I don't know what else to do, I don't have the time to spend, or simply I don't care.

All, wait, no they aren't valid reasons, but they are reasons I suppose. Like I said before, though, one cannot place blame solely on these parents. No, it is also the entertainment, oh wait, no they don't play a part in this, as some people believe. No, it is the marketing and advertising industries that are promoting the wrong things in the wrong way.

They are the ones that peak children's interests, the way they promote the "evils" of the world causing children to lean twoards the forbidden things that they should not know of until they are older. In the end, I guess it leads back to one thing, temptation. 

I know what you're thinking, let's not get biblical now. No, that's not my point and that is not how I am going to convey my message, for you see it's plain enough to see without it. Parents are tempted by the fact that it's easy to just let toys and electronics do the raising, because what do you do to a crying baby? You give it what it wants instead of what it needs, so naturally why fix something that's not broken; because it's broken in the first place. And to the children, rebellion is within their genes, natarually if it is forbidden they are going to want it, and doubly if it is enjoyable. Like too many sweets, they know not the ramifications of their desire.

So I guess I leave this final note, we should be more careful to how we raise children, we shouldn't just base our method on what we do with them when they are infants just because it's easy. And the media shouldn't advertise forbidden concepts and items, because though they might not be doing any harm, this is certainly not helping the situation. 

But of course, what do I know, right? I don't have even have a girlfriend, let alone children.

Sometimes...

...you look at the world and wish that it isn't yours.

Kind of like how parents wish troublemaker children that they blatantly let the media raise their children for some god awful reason (which will be discussed upon in a later blog) wishes they hadn't come from their blood.

But then you crash into the reality, because guess what, this is the world we all live in. A world where a man signs up to help spread good cheer to shoppers only to be given death from their crushing weight. A world where rather a group of shoppers are much more concerned to have any regard to the human life they had taken away, the family's lives who they just ruined for that 50% off sale. A world where a company turns a blind eye, because they would rather claim ignorance and save themselves from a tarnished reputation, rather than do all that they can to restore faith in human kindness at t he risk of hurting their precious image.

People ask, since when has the world become so immoral, so heartless? It never became like this as if a spell was cast upon it. It has been like this from the very beginning, which is why was happen, why people die for stupid reasons.

Gluttony, Greed, Pride, Lust, Sloth, Wrath, and Envy, there is a reason these are seven deadly sins. It is present not only in many religions, albeit in different forms or worded differently, but is, quite honestly, the root of all evils and makes everyone guilty. Because whilst some of the world might not have committed such egregious acts, they neglected to stop such acts or showed blatant disregard while influenced by them.

The world can be beautiful, but it is eclipsed by it's atrocities and evils more often than not.

In the end, to he who is without sin cast the first stone, and not a stone shall move.

Long time no see I suppose...

...seeing as I haven't done one of these in a long while. Then again, there really wasn't a warrant for one or something I thought was worth writing about. Then again I probably didn't have the feel to write about something because I already vented to enough people that I thought it was validated to not ever be spoken of again.

Anywho, I guess I am writing this because of the appalling decision to bailout so many companies, apparently, in layman's terms, to put a band-aid over our bleeding wound called an economic recession, with $700 billion of taxpayer money. Oh and not to mention the fact that that's just a ballpark estimate really, I mean optimistically it could only be $500 billion and at worst be $1 trillion.

Who in the hell thought that $500 billion was optimistic? Because as far as I'm concerned, still alot of taxpayer money that is to be had. I mean to break it down for you, let's say somehow the entire global population was solely in the U.S. (yeah, theoretical so won't point out what other issues this would cause) that would be some where around 6 billion people and counting. This woul mean that every man, woman, and child counted in that total woul have to give somewhere to about $80-$100 dollars to this bailout program to even match that.

Last time I checked, I wasn't too happy to simply toss $80-$100 out the window, down the toilet, in a fire, etc. Why do I say that, you ask? Simply because this is what is happening since this will do nothing because a circle equation occurs, the companies will no longer be in a deficiet but they won't get that much business because the taxpayers our their clients, so if the taxpayers money is being used to bailout the companies, then they won't have that money to spend, making the companies lose business until they are once again in debt, thus creating a vicious cycle.

I know, that was a rather large circular statement, but it is the best way to explain this horrible horrible situation.

I suppose I will conclude with this, a band-aid doesn't help a laceration that requires stitches, in fact it makes it most definitely makes it worse, especially when the band-aid becomes saturated in blood and allows infection to set in, slowly killing you if not treated correctly, just like our economy.

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Evening ^.^, oh wait...

...that's not true. Why do you ask? For the plain and simple fact that hatred has become such a dire issue that masses of people are being killed each second because of how they were born and someone else's supposed birth rites. If your still reading, good. For each of these words that have been typed, about a hundred men, women, children, even those unborn have been slaughtered because they don't fit a certain description of a human being that was decided upon by another human being.

It sickens me sometimes that we as a people are capable of such things. We are the only ones that can create such hate, because I don't think i can recall a time when a breed of dog killed off another breed of dog because it was different. In fact the number of mutts I believe now outnumber those that are purebred. Which one day I wish will happen to the human race simply because those who believe themselves "purebred" are willing to destroy this Earth to get their way. When I was in school they called that the spoiled little brat that was put in the corner because he couldn't get along with all the other kids.

I thought it was a joke still about this hatred stuff, I mean on TV right now is a South Park episode where they make fun of a gay marriage bill. Yet, it's not a joke. There are still gay bashers, I suppose that's what people want to be called, such as beavis810 on YouTube or others who agree with Nazis, the Darfur genocidists, and the Al-Qaida around. It is disgusting, but I suppose this doesn't do anything if no one reading this (if anyone is reading this) care.

I'm a little too angry at listening to current psychological terrorists of hate to actually finish this and attempt to relate this more. So this will be Part 1, Part 2 will be coming soon....now if you'll excuse me, I have to calm myself so I can write Part 2

Sex, Violence, and iEverthing...

...is the wave of the future people. Won't it be great?

It is stated that in the Mayan calendar that the world as we know it will end in 2012. Meaning that it will change forever, not necessarily end.

Evidence of that can already be seen, I mean the environment has been producing more natural disasters, and more catastrophic disasters, in the last few years then it did in the last millennium (OK so maybe not that dramatic, but they have been pretty egregious) so Mother Nature has already declared that she's changing, into what not sure, but hopefully it's for the better (and when I mean for the better, call me cynical, I'm not talk about for the human race. I of course am talking about the fauna and flora that humans love to destroy so much)

But, as if guided by some evil of some sort or some good, who knows, I will just say it is some kind of other force, through a group of peoples, otherworldly beings, whatever it be to change as well. I mean In the last decades there has been more sex everywhere then there has been, once again, in the last millennium combined. And yeah, I know there were orgies and stuff during ancient times along with rape, but what I am speaking of is sex in a more open, and at times, grotesque sense. No longer is it sacred, and dare I say it, no longer is it demeaning. It probably hasn't reach that point yet, but I fear when the world changes it might, rape might not even be as criminal or demeaning as shoplifting. Shocker, huh?

Of course sex isn't everything though. And that's why you have it's cousin, Violence. Genocide in Africa, war in Iraq, protests over China's treatment of the Tibetans, Korea still at war. Oh yeah, and did you know that in parts of Asia, the Caribbean, and India they are killing over rice? Yup that sounds like it would prosper, "So you think human blood makes good fertilizer? Maybe it makes it taste better." Or maybe they'll just call it red rice and be good.

It amazes me how people can look past this, I mean it's as if this major thing is somehow part of the underground. It's not, it's happening right in front of them, on the news and everything. Wait, I have to take care of something. Let me yank out those headphones to your iWhateverthefuckitis and dismantle your fancy laptop. Maybe then you'll listen. That's why people are blind to all this, because yea it's in the news, but it becomes almost a back-burner story when the next big techie thing comes out. Or possibly the newest game, and don't even start and tell me it's the content that is in the game, because if you are, just shove it. Fuck that, it can be about pinatas and lasers, if it's the popular thing then yes. I wasn't talking about the content being the distraction, I was talking about the game being a game that people get hyped up for is the distraction.

It amazes me that we spend so much time and knowledge to try and make the next weapon (iRobot and MetalStorm just developed a robot mounted super-gun. And if you wish, just look up newest military weapons, quite the list. [In the defense of the military though, they are developing some pretty awesome stuff too, like City in a Box]) I mean I should complain, it's how the world goes round right? I mean we wouldn't even be in space had it not been for the Cold War and to make sure that the Soviet Union doesn't rain death from space.

Read it or not, whatever, fuck that.

The cost of a human heart...

...must be pretty expensive nowadays, seeing as very little of society still has theirs. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that it is the fault of each individual, I mean there are sitches where you just no longer can trust humanity and stuff. However, I do blame corporations, those who run the government, and of course people like the couple who put up the blog, Two Million Dollar Baby, because it creates an umbrella effect and in turn it breaks the economy, which in turn corrupts society.

How does it do that, you may be asking yourself? Well, from people like the couple of the unborn Two Million Dollar Baby (wow, just so the couple knows, I think the only person in history besides you guys who held unborn children willingly hostage was a nice guy by the name of Adolf Hitler) it frustrates people and causes them to lose faith in humanity as a whole, therefore they give less to those who actually need it if they even still give to them at all.

However, I cannot allow myself to place wholly the blame on them. And that is for the mere fact that the reason these conniving culprits would pull such a stunt, is because of how corporations run their companies caring only about one thing, how they can accumulate profits and cut the costs of doing so. Now I'm not saying all corporations do that, I mean they're are some that actually care about others (if someone says Wal-Mart, then you deserved to be pummeled for that simple reason) but most of them are still new companies that are being trampled, oh I'm sorry, the nice words the beasts of the industry like to use are partnership, merge, consolidate, and takeover. These companies breath life only for it to be taken from those major corporations that rather not see their good deeds be rewarded.

I mean they don't want competition now, do they? And when a business is providing the same thing you are at cheaper, healthier, kinder, gentler, just overall better than you, then why not just "take them under your wing" (read as buy them out) and let them keep there name, so that your not a monopoly but rather a "competitive" powerhouse. You see it's a win-win situation; for corporate evil that is. They still get money whether you hate them or love them.

Any who, I have made a proposal. Ok, so you don't really have to take it seriously, since I pretty much put it up as a satirical response to all the unspeakable evils that have caused the price of the human heart (emotionally speaking, not like a physical human heart) to skyrocket. However, I put up a Help Evil be Arbitrarily Trampled Fund, yeah the H.E.A.R.T. Fund if you will, that pretty much has no limit and ends in a year from now (since that is the longest I could do it for). It's going to be money I'll will use to fund those who actually need it, and who are well deserving of it. Oh like for example something like Philip DeFranco's PKD Fund.

The only reason I put it up is because the Two Million Dollar Baby Fund actually has 6 contributors and has raised like 20 something dollars. I don't think that is a good cause, and to be honest those who contributed, I hope you send them counterfeit bills so they can be sent to jail, where they will be forced to put their child up for adoption.

Games are bad because they imitate real life...

...is pretty much what a lot of people are saying. Case in point, the controversy surrounding GTA IV and just about any and all FPS's. It makes me sick, really.

Which is funny, because at the same time the media is getting more and more graphic itself with depictions of war, violence, crime, and all sorts of things. Oh, but let's make an attempt to sugar coat things, shall we?

Yea, if you find that as stupid as I do, then good. Ok seriously you can even stop people from watching the news, but face it, real life is flooded with violence, it's flooded with corruption, and it's just downright crude. For example, just the other day my friend got on a bus with a guy that had a gun simply sitting on his lap. More example you say? Just a concentrated case you say? Ok, here's more real life stuff, hen I was walking around town there have been several instances where I have had racial slurs screamed at me, cursed at, and hell once or twice (granted this was early in the morning) I have actually been grabbed, and had it not been for my spiked cuffs, I would have actually had to fight someone.

So seriously, your not doing your children a favor. If anything, your softening them up to become the next victims. And don't even get me started by trying to defend your points by saying, "If all parents start doing what we are doing, then we won't have to worry about toughening up our children," or saying stuff like, "This is exactly why we should eliminate the violent game epidemic," you might as well also try buckling down on art, television, media, oh wait, you already try to do that too.

Just stop wasting your time, and work with the industry instead of trying to become their greatest adversary, in turn becoming there best asset, because it is almost 100% human nature to do something that they being told not to. Does everyone remember the story of Adam and Eve and the Forbidden Fruit? Exactly.


Whatev, you keep doing what your doing if you seriously, in your convoluted mind, seriously are making a difference, or you know you just like trying to be an authoritative figure, then go ahead and keep doing what your doing. I know in a way, as long as you don't attempt to get them all out banned, the game industry thanks you. I mean you make more people want it more because all the ranting and raving, look at Manhunt 2. So much controversy that it sold a lot of copies it's first week. Of course, then everyone found out how horrid the game actually was, and then sales began to plummet.

Smile for the camera :)
