I know I don't do blogs that often, but
this time I really feel like writing one. And as usual, there is
someone or something that I'm going to rant about, but this time I'll
probably go off onto a bunch of other things too, so here we go.
So as some of you may have seen, about a week ago a girl sent me a
message saying that she liked the fact that I hate the government. I
have no fucking clue where she got that from anyway, if you can figure
it out please let me know. The fact is, I like the government I feel
that there needs to be a government or this world would never work.
The problem however is the people running the government. Now, I'm not
saying that they're all bad because there are some that are not that
bad. But what we need is more of those good people, not people who are
doing things for their own gain or things that are going to run this
country, and eventually the whole world, to shit. I'm not going to
cite anything specific because if you care enough you either already
know, or you can look it up yourself (a little bit of effort into
educating yourself is probably what you need anyway).
And
also from the girl that I was talking about previously, she also said
that there needs to be more people who don't care about what's going on
in the world right now. This is just fucking great because first of
all, we already have enough of those people and there needs to be far
less of these people. It's because of these people that we make no
real change in some things. They are exactly what the government of
today loves, they're uneducated so they can get them to believe
whatever they want them to, and they don't know any different. They
can be pushed around and won't say anything about it. Another awesome
example (in my opinion) is religion, specifically catholics (again, my
opinion and because I really hate catholics).
For this
particular case I'm going to go back a few decades in this example then
kind of gradually work forward. Years ago if a child was to say that a
priest tried to touch them or assault them or anything of that nature,
that child would have been scolded or beaten or punished in some way
for saying bad things about someone who had such a high power status,
because in those days priests were regarded almost like police officers
or other important figures. Nothing would have been done. However
today, those people are older and have children of their own. Now if
one of their kids is to come home and say something like that, their
parents would listen and report it because they had the same thing
happen to them as a child. This is why there are more cases of this
being reported. And the reason that the people in the church were
regarded as such powerful people is because the church had brainwashed
them into thinking that these people were the messengers of god and
that they were holy people. They were able to control the people by
telling them that they have to be good people and do as they say to get
into "heaven". More people are starting to realize that this god that
they've been taught to worship does not exist. It was just a made up
story to keep these people down and under the control of another group
of people.
This is what the United States government has
been doing since WWII when it realized that they could use fear to get
it's population to do whatever it wanted to. This is why we have bases
in almost every nation of the world, so why, you may be asking, don't
these nations just say no? Because often times they're 3rd world
countries that would never be able to fight against us, or we offer
them things that they desperatly need in exchange for land to put these
bases on. They've also used the fear tactic to get their own nation to
fuck itself over. Remember 9/11? Remember when Bush got full power to
do whatever he felt necessary to take revenge on the people he felt
responsible? Now, if you don't see where the problem is in that
situation read it again and think about it for a bit. Did Iraq really
have anything to do with 9/11? Not really, but they used fear to
convince the nation that they were and that they had weapons of mass
destruction. Were any ever found? No. They did not have any, however
Bush said they did, and the American people, filled with fear over
another attack, beleived him.
Also, another thing some
people tend to forget to do is to look into the future. By giving Bush
the ability to use whatever force he felt necessary without
restrictions this means that we cannot stop him through Congress or
anything of that nature, because he will veto them as he has done
mutliple times in the recent past.
Now I'm going to break
away from the Bush thing for a little bit, maybe I'll get back to it
maybe I won't we'll see as I go on. But still sticking with the fact
that people don't look into the future, this is another reason why the
world has such problems. People look at something and say, "Hey, it
works now and nothing's wrong with it now, who cares what it does in
the future." That's one of the major reasons of the pollution levels
today and the global climate change (I've decided to call it this
because not every place is actually becoming warmer). This is also
another cause of all of the garbage and waste humans produce. Instead
of things being made of metal and of a much higher quality, they're
made of plastic and are made as cheaply as possible. So when it breaks
we say, "Well, this was only a few dollars I can just throw this away
and go buy a new one." Some of you might be thinking, "But I'm only
one person, the things I do aren't going to make a big difference."
True, if you were just one person doing this it wouldn't make a
difference, but you're not just one person doing it, you're one of
around 6 billiion people in the entire worlds population doing this.
Next time you think of buying something, ask yourself if you will be
able to use this well into the future, even if it may cost you a few
extra dollars now, it will pay off later on.
On to
education, now I'm not going to be talking about school education
because I feel that it is too widely talked about and it gives people
someone else to blame for their own unintelligence. Also keep in mind
that I do not think that I am smarter than any of you that may be
reading this or anyone else for that matter. I am well aware of the
fact that there are many people much smarter than I am. What I'm going
to talk about is self education. Too many people I know don't bother
to actually take the time to learn something themselves, much less let
someone else teach it to them, because they feel that it has no
importance to them or their lives or what they want to do in life. If
it won't give them any kind of immediate gratification or something
like that, they're not going to take the time to learn it. Which is
incredibly pathetic in my opinion, why would someone not want to learn
as much as they can about things? Are people today completely turned
off by intelligence and turned on to stupidity? Do they want to go
through life not knowing something that could change their lives, or
the lives of other people in a positive way? I just don't understand
it.
If someone was to be more educated, they could make
their own choices on things and not rely on someone else to tell them
what's "right" and what's "wrong". This has caused a lot of problems
in the past, present, and I'm going to guess it will cause catastrophic
problems in the future if people continue on this trend of noneducation.
So with that, I will say my final words and let you get back to
whatever you took the time out of doing to read this, and for that I
greatly appreciate it. Go out, educate yourself in things that you see
going on around you in the world. What the world needs is more
educated independantly thinking people, what this world needs right now
is you.
