Ok... I hate days like today. I hate having to delete 10-25 quasi-patriotic comments.
... "We will never forget..." blah blah blah... Lets tack that stirring quip to an image of the towers on fire or maybe a more stirring image of firemen carrying bodies out of the rubble.
ARE YOU EFFING SERIOUS??!
People around me often find me a tad jaded. My supervisor on one job even called me hateful and mean. I make no bones about that. Lotsa factors I won't go into. I tell you this now, and I don't want you to get any crazy ideas about how I'm also an "un-American social degenerate." I'll tell you the rest of that little quote later.
I love the land I live on. I like the ideals this country was founded on, minus the slavery. I have read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I've also read the Patriot act.
The mere fact that we'd vote for the guy who made that little nightmare a reality (AGAIN) is why I hate Americans. Take some time to note the difference. It's not the country, it's the people.
How could I like a nation's people, when I know that not a single one of us outside of NYC would give a rodent's rectal secretion what happened, were it not for some crazed individuals giving us a good spanking? Furthermore, when those who live in Jerry Springerville would perpetuate their fantasies by telling me that they were there, or had family there. My condolences to those who lost friends and family in the attacks, but I hear this every new place I go, and I'm pretty good at picking out the ones that just want attention.
How sick is that? You (the general public) are so starved for attention that you'll do ANYthing, and anything inlcudes lying to get pity. The ones who don't want pity? They post little yellow ribbons and pictures of the towers and say, "We will not forget." Of course we won't forget! It's drilled into us every day!YES! Let's all link arms and go off to see the wizard!
And who do we turn to when the deeds are done? Lemme give you a clue ppl, and I quote this from the national address 3hrs after the attacks: "... we're gonna go on over and perpetrate those folks."
Again, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
If you want to tell me about how I'm an angry, angsty punk, make sure you look at yourself a little closer, Ye-Who-Would-Have-the-Rest-of-the-Country-Weep-With-You. Who is it that wants to be all depressed and solemn on 9-11? Not I.
Remember that little quip from earlier? this is the whole of the message from 9-12-06:
"I have no patience for punk a$$hats like you. You are an un-American social degenerate. People like you should be rounded up out of your shelters and doorways and from under your bridges and be put where you belong. I'm talking six feet under. It's people like you who make me afraid to walk home alone at night, and afraid my daughter won't make it home after school."...
SEE? Becuase I happen to have a mohawk and an ax to grind, all the sudden I'm a criminal. HAH! I've done some crooked things, I admit, but - based on appearance - I'm now a rapist/kidnapper.
Yep. I slept in abandoned houses and under bridges. So? I still worked for every meal I ate, and every pair of socks I wore too. My goals and ideals are no different than the normal uber-American: I want to live how I want. I want money to provide my food and shelter, I want something to do, and I want someone to love. Above all, I want to be left alone about it.
I live here, you live here. I'm considerate enough to leave you alone about your choice of music, car, or lifestyle in general, and I expect reciprocation because it's due.
Last quote, from a conversation I had with a co-worker shortly after the bombing of Iraq started: "I can't believe how un-American those French are."
