Alright I have some annoying shit to ramble on about. Communism, songs, jesus, rape, murder, forgiveness, and WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!!
Let's start with communism, jesus (I don't care if that isn't capitalized), and songs. You may see the connection between the last two very easily... "That's because there are like five hundred fucking jesus songs!" Heh heh... So now you are wondering what communism is doing with these two. As it turns out there is a school (I think in New Jersey, I don't really remember. I'll look it up later.) that is having one of those stupid musicals for the kids that can't sing but the teachers make them sing because it's good for them, or some other bullshit like that. I'm not ditching the arts... but children just suck ass at singing... Ok! Back to the point! This school is having some musical, or something, and one of the songs is more or less "Jesus Loves the Little Children" (That burned to type.) with Barack Housan Obama, or however that is spelled, replacing jesus... There is more to it, but that is the main point I got from it. Obama is the savior of this country and that we should all praise him... For whatever it is he has been doing... I'm sure if I gave a rat's ass about politics, government, and economics, I might be glad he is in office. But since I don't... I see this as an annoyance. So, Rook, where does the communism play in this? Well it isn't exactly communism (all classes are created equal... blah... blah... blah...) but since it appears that the song is making Obama a god, or maybe an avatar, and that there is no religion involved and it is all about the government... it falls under communism. Didn't Stalin outlaw religion and say "I am your god now!" Isn't this what the teacher, the stupid unoriginal bitch that wrote the song, is implying? Where the people of the USSR not brain washed in believing that Stalin was all powerful, that he would make everything right, and that all they needed to do was serve the country? No original thoughts. No free will. Is this not what those kids are heading towards? Most likely they won't become stupid brainwashed sheep, But this should not be encouraged to be taught in the schools. The schools that are fighting to keep religion out of it and yet are causing another form of it. *Ponders* Maybe the teacher thought that this would be a good way to promote patriotism... It still looks like brainwashing to me.
Alrighty then... Here is some more fucked up shit. This, just like the stuff above, is also real. I don't remember the name of the book, nor did I read it, but I do understand the story enough to ramble on about. It is the early seventies, a girl is raped and then murdered, the rapist/murder is sent to jail (or perhaps killed later on), and the parents visit him sometime to tell him that they forgive him... This is where I start to think, "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!" Of course there are people out there who can forgive anybody for anything (those people, as far as I'm concerned, are fucking retarded) and then go on about their damn lives. I can understand accepting the child's death (if they didn't then they need to be shot), but going up to the guy's cell and saying, "I forgive you for raping and killing my daughter." That's just absurd. I don't know if that is really what they said, but I can think of a better way of phrasing it, "I forgive you for tormenting my daughter and then killing her while she was still young and had so much ahead of her." I admit that by not reading the book I am leaving out quite a few details. Stuff like her actually age, what she was doing with her life at the time, whether or not she was a good moral person and stuff that feels like I'm just throwing in there in my damn anger at these two people. I guess it isn't anger, but misunderstanding or inability to understand. If there is anything to understand... I just can't "put" myself in their shoes (that burned to type as well) and comprehend what it is that would make them do such a thing. If I were them I would most likely want his head on a pike (old school, yes, but nice non the less) but at the same time know that there is no justification to killing him by my own hands. Even if it did make me feel a shit load better. At the same time I couldn't (I couldn't be in the same room of course) forgive him for the torment that he caused my daughter. I'm sure I could get my life to a more stable state, but there would be nothing in the world that could bring me to forgive him. It is as though forgiving him is like saying it is alright to rape and murder. It just doesn't seem to work. There may be a flaw in my ability to forgive people or to understand why people even forgive others, but this makes no sense what so ever...
Anyways I'm starting to get a headache from trying to understand these irrational humans. Or maybe I'm the irrational one? Wouldn't surprise me really. I just fucking hate people.
