| | It's done. I have voted. It seems to be lose, lose, but can 4 years of Kerry be ANY worse than 4 years of Bush? If Bush wins, we're dead. I fear for our future. May the giant douche triumph, if the walking zombie dick doesn't steal votes from his party like he did 4 years ago. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | Is John Kerry really the lesser of two evils? Or is it just a situation of voting between a giant douche, or a shit sandwich? I am VERY distraught. | | comments: Leave a comment |

The trailer is not only hypocritical, it plays into exactly what patriots want to see. He accusses Moore of lying (which EVERY documetition does in EVERY documentary, doesn't make it ok, but it is a fact of life), yet I am sure this guy will never accuse Bush of lying to the American public would he, even though there is film evidence to prove the fact that he and his administration has done so. I am not a big fan of Moore at all times (i do enjoy his writing, but he is one part genius and one part giant dipshit), but this guy feels that he has "hot a nerve" by hounding Moore for an interview. I am sure if someone with a website dedicated to me hating America was hounding me, I would NOT do an interview with him and I would have a bitter reaction to him. Why do an interview when he would just take everything being said as out of context and radical anti-American rhetoric? "Why do you hate America Mr. Moore? Then why do you make movies about hating America Mr. Moore? Admit that you hate America Mr. Moore" is how I see this interview turning out.
Of course he wants to tell the "truth" about America, yet he has pictures in his trailer (shot in what looks like a bright pastelesqe lens to increase the beauty of it all) show people playing roller blade, the beautiful lights and scenery, and everyone just having fun. Exactly what America is like all the time.
What this guy and Moore do not understand is middle ground. They do not seem aware that people are not radically left wing or radically right wing, or even moderately left or moderately right. If someone can say that they are JUST left or right I believe them to be rather ridiculous. I really hate uber conservatives just as much as I hate uber leftists. Their arguments are so skewed and radically affected to their cause that they end up looking like morons most of the time. I do feel that Michael Moore offers at the basest of levels, an argument that is important for the right to see what is being hidden from them in a sense. This can lead to a middle ground mentality but of course it will only lead to Moore being verbally assulted even more as anti-American, and Moore will continue to make his radically left wing movies to counteract the influx of this hate, and bullshit from guys like Michael Wilson who use Moore as a launching pad to fame and to tap into the veins of American pride to further advance their cause. I think a film like this is very good, as it shows the other side of things, but in the end it just won't work, because people have gotten the right wing bullshit for YEARS.
To quote Wilson's site:
"Contrary to its title, Michael Moore Hates America isn’t a hatchet job on the filmmaker. It’s a journey across the nation where we meet celebrities, scholars and average folks alike, and we find out whether the American Dream is still alive! In the process, we’ll look at Michael Moore’s claims about the country, its people, and our way of life."
So in his own site he admits that his title is bullshit, and is a hatchet job to Moore (the title of the movie, not the film itself), to get people to watch his film by using America against itself for people to come and buy into the film itself. "Hey, this movie praises our America and it deals with that villian Michael Moore who hates America, let's go watch it." This guy is a fucking hypocrite plain and simple. If you are going to make a propaganda film, make it, just like Michael Moorse does, but don't try to convince yourself that you are not doing something when you clearly are, and don't accuse Moore of being a lying scumbag who uses propaganda and lies to fuel his film making when you are doing the exact same thing. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| "ATLANTA - Genital piercings for women were banned by the Georgia House Wednesday as lawmakers considered a bill outlining punishments for female genital mutilation.
The bill would make such mutilation punishable by two to 20 years in prison. It makes no exception for people who give consent to have the procedure performed on their daughters out of religious or cultural custom.
An amendment adopted without objection added "piercing" to the list of things that may not be done to female genitals. Even adult women would not be allowed to get the procedure. The bill eventually passed 160-0, with no debate.
Amendment sponsor Rep. Bill Heath, R-Bremen, was slack-jawed when told after the vote that some adults seek the piercings.
"What? I've never seen such a thing," Heath said. "I, uh, I wouldn't approve of anyone doing it. I don't think that's an appropriate thing to be doing."
The ban applies only to women, not men. The bill has already been approved by the Senate but now must return to that chamber because of the piercing amendment. Both chambers of the Legislature must agree on a single version of a bill before it can go to the governor for final approval."
Jesus, just when I feel that I might gain a single ounce of respect for Republicans, they do something this stupid and throw everything that normal, non insane republicans have worked for. I mean, this isn't stand alone either, it passed 160-0, without a SINGLE opposition to it. Shit, after 9/11, even the vote on the subject of war in Afghanistan had ONE vote against it, and that meant being labled a traitor. Here, this passed unanimously and seems more and more that stupid conservatives are trying to limit personal freedoms and look like complete jackasses in the eyes of more sane people. On top of that, this bill is only takes women into consideration, not banning male piercings. Once again women get the shaft (no pun intended), while men get a free pass, without realizing that male peircings are infinately more linked to "mutilation" than womens. God damn Georgia should just get the hell out of the US. In fact, most of the South (and that includes Texas) should just go to hell, where it belongs. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| My dog, a rotweiller, has been with my family since about 1990, and for the past few years (mainly this year), his health had been slowly going down the crapper. About last week, I notice a large obtrusion on his front leg. I conclude that it is either: A. a tumor or B. A bulge full of puss and water. He had been having trouble walking for the last few months, and had been crapping in his house because he didn't want to go outside.
After taking him to the vet previously, we were told that it was arthritis and after giving him meds, thought he would be on the road to discovery. Fast forward to today, where we take him because of the obtrusion on his leg. We had to sedate him because of the simple reason that he hates the vet and wants to eat him. So he is really drowsy when we get there and the vet comes out and checks on him, concluding that it is in fact a tumor on his leg (even injecting it to try and find liquid and getting nothing but a few drops of blood. He also says that my dog is not the same dog he once was, and is going to get worse, to the point where he will be an absolute cripple in the coming months. He also said that he probably had MAJOR internal problems which caused his deteriouration of his bones and his organs. So he gives us an option of putting him down or taking him home. We decide to put him down cause all he is is suffering now. My dad starts crying (a SHOCK to all who have rarely seen their dad cry) and the vet injects him with what he calls a sedative to knock him out. We put my doggie on a strecher and bring him into the vet office where he starts to shake violently. The vet says it is just the medicine in his body, as he starts to inject my dog with this pink liquid. 10 seconds later my dog has stopped breathing and has his tongue hanging out. He is now dead. Vet tells us that they will cremate him tomorrow and we can get his ashes, and gives us his condolances.
My dad calls my mom at work and she starts crying loudly. We get home and I tell my sister and she starts crying. So everyone is upset and I feel like shit cause it is like losing a best friend. I miss him already, and I can't get the picture of him lying there on the table, dead, out of my mind. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Right after good old Arnold became Governor of this great state, one of the first things he did (in concordance with stupidly recalling the car tax, umm, how do you want to try and counteract the debt Arnold? Oh by borrowing MORE money from the government this time, GENIUS!) was recalling te bill that would allow illegal immigrants to obtain drivers licenses. Many Californian's accused Grey Davis of sucking up to the hispanics by passing this bill, and let's be honest, he was. But what I am thinking is, is this such a terrible idea? People are saying that this is rewarding people for sneaking into "our" country. Well at last they aren't giving us smallpox covered blankets in exchange for land and food, right? Do these people even realize that giving "aliens" drivers licenses would in fact be a form of documentation? That this indeed a point that very many people refuse to acknowledge due to the fact that it is rewarding those damn mexicans for coming into land that originally belonged to them.
This whole idea made me think about why would people believe this is a bad thing? And what are the consequences of such an idea? One of the first epiphanies I had was about public transportation. If all people were able to get licenses, would that then lead to the decline of Metro services that are crucial to the economies of the southern california governement? (We must look at the idea that southern california will be affected the most because as we hear all our lives, most "aliens" come from Mexico). That would in turn lead to many people losing jobs, and unemployment rates raising. But then then we would have to assume, that most of the people who get their license would then in turn buy cars, and drive that way. Sounds rather unlikely.
I feel there seems to be a perpetuation of dependence that underlies this whole thing. Why give any of these people and sort of independence, when they can just rely on the government to make everything better for them. People may complain that there are too many "illegals" in this state, but how would any of these people live without these "illegals" to depend on? Where would these rich fucking socialite assholes get the lettuce, tomatoes, etc to put on their salads if a fucking illegal didn't do it? You think some rich as white bitch or a fucking rich persian man would work in a goddamn field for 12 hours a day for under minimum wage just so is or her family could eat that night? The fact is that middle class and upper class America depends on these illegal aliens. We perpetuate their poverty by paying them less than a family can survive to live on. If anything we should be rewarding these people who do this back breaking labor, and are the backbone of the areas of our produce. I guarantee that ANYONE who reads this would not do what these so called "illegals" do, because we feel that we are above it. We depend on them without even realizing this. And newsflash, ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY HERE!! Get over it already you fucking elitist pricks.
I know American's like to perpetuate the whole kingdom of fear mentality that is so very "Birth of a Nation." If a woman gets raped somewhere, it is probably some fucking illegal, if someone hits my car it is probably some mexican with no auto insurance. If I see someone with 5 kids it is probably some god damn mexican leeching off the system like oh so many do. Get your heads out of your asses America. Like anyone else, they are PEOPLE, doing harder work than ANY OF YOU, doing work NONE OF YOU WOULD DO, and are integrated into our produce economy. Stop being so damn afraid and THINK.
Wait, something just occurred to me. I think I finally realized why people are so scared of illegals getting licenses:

| About three hours ago I finished my last final and walked to my car in a fantastic mood, seeing as how I am finished with school for a month. As a approach my car to open my door I realize that my side mirror is hanging by a fucking wire. Yeah, that's right some asshole knocked off my side mirror. It turns out, as some kind bus driver informed me, that some prick in a 2003 Mercedes hit my car and didn't have the decency to let me know about it. Now I am responsible for finding a new mirror and fixing that myself. Fuck that inconsiderate prick. I hope a salmon falls out of the sky onto his car. That, or he runs into a damn tree, either option is fine with me.
The bus driver informed me of three of the numbers/letters on the prick's license plate. So I called the cops to inform them of all of this (my father suggested I do), and I get a god damn answering machine. I call back and get an officer and tells him what happens. What is his response? "Uh, there is a traffic station [about 10-15 miles away] that you can go to and report what happened to them." All the while I am thinking that my car was just hit and they want me to drive to a station for 20 minutes so I can file a bullshit report that won't help them find the asshole responsible? While I am aware that there isn't much they can do for my situation, it made me think "do cops ever really do anything?" Seriously, cops don't stop shit. You think if someone breaks into my house they cops will stop them? Fuck no. The only chance you have is if a neighbor sees something and reports it. That's the problem with there. Cops expect normal citizens to do all of the work: be witnesses, remain calm, remember everything that happened, and respect them. And THESE are the people that are handed guns along with their job? Lazy ass mother fuckers who graduated high school and had nothing better to do so they became cops. Then all of a sudden, they get a badge and a gun and feel that you owe them something. Ever notice at the end of a thriller or action movie, the last sound you hear is sirens, or see cop cars in the distance. Of course they come AFTER all of the murder and violence happens, but they are still a harbinger of safety. Last time I got mugged, I don't remember a fucking cop swooping in to save the day and stop these two bitches from stealing my shit. When I reported what happened, the cop pretty much told me that there is no chance of them finding this guy. So that leaves me to ask, "What the fuck is the point to have cops?" Is it so they can set up teenagers by placing a "Mercedes Benz" bicycle in an alley and arresting them for taking it? Is it so they can bust some guys for buying marijuana on a street corner? Is it so they can set up a sting and bust guys for soliciting prostitutes? Why aren't these fuckers doing something that aides society? Why aren't cops trained in sociology and analyze social problems and REALIZE what they are trying to fight. It isn't drugs and robbery assholes, its poverty. Get your head out of your asses and do your god damn jobs fuckers. FIGHT CRIME, as the motto says. Cops are nothing more than social disaster relief.
