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.
