hard to rank these in order of "importance" so im jus gonna write it as it comes to me.....
well since this was brought up recently ill start with welfare...a new law was passed in Florida that will require people on welfare to pass drug tests, i like this law, however the fervor of the positive reaction worries me..no pisses me off actually, if i believed for a an instant it was done out of love for the ones that truly need it and with this new law would come more and better resources for the ones that really need because the ones that abuse it would be cut off then id be really happy, but thats not how it is, people are happy they wont be "paying for losers"...also there are people who want to control what people on food stamps buy (there is already alot of control, you cant buy hot foods, which is stupid, but you also cant buy cigarettes or alcohol, both bans are good ideas) but some want to expand the bans to include soda and items high in sugar,fat and calories and also ban the purchase of brand name items...well first off, food stamps arent given in mass quanities so buying cheap is what most people do, secondly, teachers,firefighters,policeman,politicians and many others are allso payed with tax dollars so why dont we tell them what do with their money, yea i know they "earned" it and if you think people dont deserve help then you are a heartless moron.
next up is proof,faith,research,hope,destiny....
it has come to my attention that no one agrees with me, but thats fine, because people cant even tell me why they believe what they do... faith can be a good thing, unless it becomes a crutch and keeps you from seeking answers. i get told that "everything happens for a reason" which i think is a cop out to make ourselves feel better, i get told God has a plan and that we have a destiny, and things are meant to be and i have to have faith, well what good is hope if everything is already written??and if we have a destiny and God has a plan and already knows what is going to happen, then do we really have free will?? and alot of those same people that rely solely on faith, tell me some of my beliefs are wrong because i cant prove them (like evolution, even though there is proof , just not proof they understand or like) you cant have faith as your base and attack a "lack" of evidence of someone elses beliefs, because you yourself rely on something that cant be proven. I get told that living without hope and faith scares people, yes it does , but doesnt that say that maybe , just maybe fear could be the guiding force of "faith" and that wanting to believe something doesnt make it true, religion pretends to be all knowing (yes all religion claims to know just about everything) and yet the basis for them is faith, unprovable,unquestionable faith, its really convenient to believe in something no one can prove wrong, but you have to realize you cant prove it right either.
next is freedom...of religon and speech and touches things like worship,practice and censorship and freedom in general like equal rights...
people demand freedom of religion and they deserve it, thats not at issue here, what is , is that in the US there is a large movment (not as small or abused or "attacked" as they like to think) that wants bible and prayer to be required, that wants intelligent design taught in science class (just a renamed version of creation) how is a government sponsored religion freedom of it?? as for speech, this is something people love to whine about, they want to be able to say whatever they want, and i do too, to a point at least...hate to me is never ok, so i dont think people have the right to say certain things, but anyways considering this country loves its free speech always yelling about their first amendment rights, they still want to censor music and movies and books and even if you arent part of that group im willing to bet you wouldnt support pornography in public..right? well earlier i said hate is never ok and music gets censored and im sure some of you said " well they have a right to say what they think (even if it hurts or scares people?) or you said thats to protect people from something they dont want their children to her...so porn is evil, we are all naked sometimes but its evil right?? you are aloud to stand outside a funeral with a sign that says "god hates fags" but heaven forbid a kid sees a boob omg!!! its hypocritical, everyone wants something censored , so quit bitching about it just because you and the person next to you want different things blurred out, you are both prudes , just on different levels. Also involved in freedom is voting, if you dont vote, dont bitch about anything at all, because you have no voice you chose to be silent, freedom was helped along with voting, you can say soldiers did it if u want, they did, but they did what was voted on first, i know government is corrupt and full of lies boo hoo, everyone has lied, doesnt make it right, but if you arent gonna trust someone based on one lie you are going to be lonely, better not trust yourself either, there are no more lies and corruption in government than they're are business, not just big business, if you have 10 employees or 10000, then there are politics involved,and most families,churches and organizations are run the same way, by people.. so, flawed, yes they are but they arent without good points, i personally try to only support companies that openly support my ideals, its difficult because you cant be sure, but you cant be much more sure about the people you live with , so are you gonna just live your entore life calling everyone liars? which brings to me this, i refuse to go to Chick Fil A anymore due to their stance on some things like homosexuality, which christians like the owner of chick fil a openly oppose, they want to ban gay marriage(because they think being gay is a sin..well why arent there just as many christians trying to make adultery illegal?? o thats right cuz that would be fair!!) and chick fil itself lobbied against an effort in PA to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, so wait you want to be able to worship who ,what where and how you want but they cant marry or like who they want? hows that freedom, it isnt, its people demanding their freedom while trying to deny it to others, its wrong. equal rights means equla, for ALL if it isnt for ALL it isnt equal, i dont fight for blacks or gays or women or the poor seperately, we are all people , i dont like fighting for just one thing that happens to affect me, i fight for all, all creatures from people to trees to insects and dogs.
now something a bit lighter..sort of lol... people whine about orignality movies and music all the time , well books into movies may not be original but it can still be interesting and movies can do things books cant and vice versa, but this isnt new , remakes and adaptations have been happening since the 30s, so get over the "Hollywood nowadays" mentality, also scripts are basically books before they get filmed, and i dont know anyone who doesnt have a remake or an adaptation among their favorite movies , it all depends on what you like, which bring up another thing people like to talk about, popularity, if a movie is popular it doesnt mean its good, but it doesnt mean it sint good either, just because alot o people like something doesnt make it amazing but it also doesnt mean it sold out, you arent cool for hating popular things and you arent smart for liking what everyone else likes, it comes down to favoritism , we are aloud to like whatever we want, not because it is or isnt well known,or how intense,complicated,thought out,real ,sweet ,amazing or how much money it did or didnt cost, doesnt matter , just think for yourself, the money thing comes up quite a bit, how much money a movie made and all but it doesnt matter, yea i know it does, but only in the way that the makes are gonna be able to eat,live and make more, but so what either way, if i dont like the movie then i dont care at all and if i do then cool i get to see another, but thats it, its not the end or beginning of the world. Also money,popularity and "success" in sports, people love to love and hate lebron james, i dont like him myself, i dont hate him but i just dont like him, i was told that it didnt matter that people hated him because hes the best and has al ton of money and the number one selling jersey in the nba right now...really?? so what, if hes an arrogant asshole then money and fame shouldnt matter, and hell yes he is arrogant but dont hate him, he didnt kill anyone (that i know of) and even if he did that wouldn't be reason enough to hate him.
in closing i say that fairness is lacking...we need BALANCE people!!, look beyond your own nose, and start caring, and not just caring, but be logical, tit for tat ya know, stop being one sided, open your mind, expand your horizons, youll feel better , trust me, its no fun being one dimensional, why sell yourselves short or be selfish, its stupid , fairness is something everything deserves, balance is the way we need to live.
