I find these times we live in to be way
to interesting. People are talking about things and they seem ready
to convince me on how wrong I am, rather than listen to both sides of
a story. We are so focused on that being right rather than someones
rights that we lose sight of the bigger picture. We lose sight of the
things that should hold value. We lose sight of the issues that hold
us together as a people. Our own sense of morality slips away,
because we are so busy fighting each other one things that do not
matter. How about these simple things that we can look into; If you
do not agree with someone, why must they agree with you so that you
can exist and be happy?
Look I really do not have any desire to
put a dick on, in, or near my body, but I love it when a woman agrees
to let me do it to her. At the end of the day if two dudes want to do
that, what harm does it really do to me? I do not share my conquest
with them in graphic detail, and most of the gay dudes I know share
the same level of respect. It may be your religious views that say
this is wrong, well that's fucking great. Its something you feel is
wrong, so don't do it. It is not on you if somebody else decides to
do it. That being said why are you still arguing about it?
Now if you really want to compare it
something, and see where your views lie in this matter of extremism
and oppression you do not need to look far to compare. You want to
try and force your views on someone, lets look at the Westborro
Baptist Church. These are people that even neonazi extremist think
are assholes. They constantly tell people about what they feel is
wrong. They constantly stick their noses in other peoples business.
They constantly look to validate their morality by drawing you into
it. Now think about that the next time you go spewing your personal
views on people like they are some kind of manifesto. Which side of
the line do you stand on when it comes to douchebaggery.
Extremes are extremes, does not matter
if they are left or if they are right. Liberal Fascist are still
fucking fascist. If you really have to push your views down other
peoples throats to feel right about yourself than maybe you need to
seriously think about where your weakness is. Why do you feel the
need to force your views on others and what gives you the right to do
so? I find it hard to talk to some of my friends on both sides of
the spectrum, they see things their way, and they see them so hard
their way that they fish and look for support of their views, and
find it their personal mission to try and sway others to their view
without giving ground on their own. I also have friends that have
their views but will at least listen to yours, and that is the reason
those people remain my friends, and the prior group typically do not
last long.
In that later group, I have a bud that
really wants to talk to me about opposing views about the Stolen
Valor act. It boils down to him seeing that we have a constitutional
right to lie, and me saying that is bullshit. While his argument thus
far is very logical, and I can see his stance clearly, he really does
have interest in hearing what I have to say. Even if it might just be
to see how the other side thinks. In this you see the reason he is my
friend. You see he sees the world very differently from me, and in
this we both bring something different to the table. I also like to
think that by talking to each other we stop ourselves from narrowing
our field of vision like the WBC and other groups that are out there
that feel their cause is so damn important that they have to cram it
down our throats whilst we eat our dinners in front of the boob tube.
The easiest way to become an extremist is to only hang out with
people that think like you.
So the only thing I ask is that if you
are seeing something, or hearing about something that really has no
valid impact on you, other than it offends you, think about what you
do about it. Think to yourself if you could see the WBC protesting it
too, and how much of a douche you are for protesting it. At the end
of the day, does it really affect you, or those you know if some
stranger is getting laid? Does it really change who you are because
your neighbor worships differently from you? Does it take food off
your table if somebody gets a tattoo? What impact does it have on
your life what people do with their own? Unless they are coming into
your house and standing on your coffee table sharing their views like
you do, do it really affect you in any way? If it continues to bother
you than why not move to a country that shares your views and leave
my Constitution alone.
I'm considering writing a douchey manifesto on tattoos and cakes, while getting and making both. THAT's how douchey I'm thinking of being. I'd even self-publish that bit of clap-trap, so everyone should shake their heads and go, crap, there she goes again, buy it, for free, and then come to my house and burn them in a pile. Good thing there's no HOA where I live against book-burnings. ;)
