Two Very Important Things That Could Be Said Better By A Less Tired Person
1. I've locked the lead singer of MCR (My Chemical Romance) in his tour bus with an eight ball and seventeen bottles of everclear. All we can do from here is hope.
(Oh, and green day is as good as ever)
2. We're all "ist"'s of some kind. We all mask them differently. Some people are racist's, some are anti-semitic, others are feminists. Me, i'm an 'elitist.'
Someone I know is writing a paper on racism (specifically the internet's effect on it, I think) and he asked me if I took his survey. I informed him that I hadn't because I was going through a phase in which I am particularly sensative to whining and, let's face it, minorities of all kinds (race, sect, color, creed, sexual preference, and teenagers) are some of the whiniest people on the planet earth.
"Ehhh!! My great-great-great-great grandfather was beaten by some dead white guy and now you are keeping me down by arresting me for robbing this liqour store!" -- "Ehh!!! I'm a Native American and the founders of the Jamestown settlement kicked our asses what with their guns. You owe me a Casino."
The only people with any right to complain are Holocaust survivors. They actually - themselves - were directly and completely persecuted and they are more than welcome to complain ot the civilians and political leaders that didn't act sooner to prevent their genocide. Oh, and ruwanda, sudan, ethiopia and the other dozen or so genocides we've ignored in the last 10 minutes.
I don't want to hear about something a possible great great great grandfather of mine did to your great great grandfather. Yes, it sucks. No, i don't condone it. And, ya know what, I'm a pretty ballsy person, I probably would have tried to help your grandfather escape if i'd been ALIVE when he was being treated unjustly.
Leave me the fuck alone.
Okay, back to the facts. I don't hate people based on their color, their sexual preferences, or anything of that nature. I hate people based on their stupidity.
When a fully functioning adult moves to another country and refuses to learn to speak the language of that country (this says FULLY FUNCTIONING for a reason. I'm not getting on the case of your polish grandmother who's turning 95 next week.) they are douche bags and I am going to consider myself free to loathe them from afar. If i moved to mexico - hell, when i went on vacation to mexico - i bought a damn dictionary and at least tried to speak the langauge, even when I knew perfectly well that the waitress would have understood me in English becuase it's fucking rude not to try. Plus, people ordeirng food in languages they don't speak is generally hilarious and I couldn't help but provide her the comic relief in exchange for living in a country where you can't drink the tap water.
When the president of the formerly free world says things like Nuculer i think i'm entitled to want to hit him with the Complete Oxford English. When my news media is covering a botched election and the only enduring message they manage to impart on us is the term "pregnant chad" we have a problem. When someone allows a venemous snake to bite them and their children and expect God (i capitalize it becuase i assume they would) to save them, I reserve my rights to mock and thank Darwin that they will eventually remove themselves from the planet provided I don't intervene on behalf of common sense and science.
Yes, that's right, I have an ist and it's based on your ability to fucking communicate with others and continue to exist as a fucntioning human being. If you're stupid, just stay out of my way because you'll get nothing but glares and substandard treatment from me. Turn off South Park and go read a fucking book.
