That is IT!

Okay, everyone. I was just reading a thread "Teacher vs. Me" and I think the majority of you are ignorant fuckers willing to let life pass you by.

You were all flaming the kid for being ignorant, not respecting those who have died for us, and for being a blatant pothead.

You know what? Fuck you all. It's people like him with the BALLS to stand up who are going to advance, not the people who thrash those brave enough to stand up. Government is a ruined ideal, Religion took a left turn to nowhere, and the people in power are on a trip that many of us will neither experience nor understand.

The people with the balls to stand up over a trivial issue of standing and reciting a few words, it's less effort to simply give lip service and not care. He had the balls to stand up, yes. But he stood up for the wrong issue - if he has problems with the system, maybe he should a) move country to where the system is kinder....or b) become part of the system, become a local governer or whatever floats your boat 'n' campaign for whatever you believe in. I reckon a website forum (this forum) worth of petition signatures, and anyone else you can find would do a lil' something more than telling a teacher that you think the pledge is a pile of shite.

Government...where to begin. Government started as the bandit parties who went around killing people and stealing their food. The people banded together to protect themselves, copying the bandits' system. Government has its advantages, such as building transportation systems and such, but it has two major flaws.

First of all, it runs off of money. MONEY. You want something done? Where's the cold hard cash? People are hungry? Well, we need money to feed them. We need to build a road? We need money to pay the workers. You want to connect computers together to revolutionize communication? Sure, but where's my money? Honestly, nothing can get done without money. Why? What's so special about a little note saying you have 10 whatever? I think the first greedy person was the person who invented money. Truly greedy, now. People were stealing each other's treasures long before a piece of paper was considered valuable.

Second, it relies on people. People who are prone to lies, cheating, and stealing just as much as you and I. Do you want people like that controlling your life? Begging for money to support projects, many of which don't concern you? Do you really? Hmm...interesting. I didn't know there were that many self-destructive people around here.

Government actually started when land was taken over by those stronger than the weak. They begun excercising their beliefs over the land they controlled and soon a government arose - not a democratic government though, more of an oligarchy.

Today we have a different government, a democracy - and yes, it may not be the best of things. but it's the lesser of all evils. You may throw both anarchism and communism at me as better than Democracy - but then I want you to show me the succesful countries that operate under both those systems. Russia failed as a communist state quite catastrophically. I don't know of an anarchist state...

Your issues with money, who gives a fuck? yes it's a piece of paper with 10 on - that's worth 10 little pieces of metal or whatever. Everything needs cold hard cash because that's how it's always been. Exchanging thing for thing - whether it was bartering "I'll trade you a goat and 2 rabbits for a night with your wife" or primitive money with conch shells or snail shells....money exists for the reason that otherwise.....it would all be theft "I'll jus' take that from you - I haven't anything to give you in return because money doesn't exist"

that sounds like a really fuckin' great state of affairs doesn't it?

Nowadays, government is nothing but a way for people to steal from their peers and get them to do what they want. Pretty messed up, huh?

Actually, think of it like this. Each and every democratic government has to sway to the desires of us the public - as the driving motivation for them is to get votes to stay in power the next election....they don't get us to do what they want. They see which way the winds blowing and sway with it.

don't throw this in my face saying "Well, why isn't pot legal then - why don't they listen?" it's because it's something that will gain them a minority of votes yet lose them a majority. It's simple politics...

Religion...Religion...a good idea gone bad. Religion started as people whose beliefs were similar getting together and practicing their beliefs together. Now, it's a system of control. We all think alike, we don't complain as much. Who will argue with God's will, I ask you? No one. No one who can think, anyway. Why not believe what YOU believe, and keeping it to yourself? I mean, if someone asks, tell them. But if not, don't force it upon myself or others. It gets old.

I agree here. Except - it's a system of control that (generally) the people who are controlled are those who choose to be...

Power...Power...People are in power. They control your life. They determine what you see, what you feel, what you like, what you dislike, what you love, what you hate, what you buy, what you refuse to buy, which restraunts you frequent, which restraunts you don't, what you use to power your life, what car you drive, what clothes you wear, what clothes you wouldn't wear for anything...everything about you, they are in control. Why? Because you let them. You give them money, you look up to them as "role models" because they have money. You elect them, you love them because they're doing "so much" when, more often than not, they are simply stealing from the community.

They don't determine what I see, nor what I feel, nor what I like, not what I love, nor what I hate, nor what I buy, nor what I refuse to, nor what restaraunt I frequent. None of those things.

If the people in power determined what I saw - I wouldn't be able to trip. If they determined what I felt - I wouldn't get stoned. If they dictated what I liked - they I wouldn't like my lifestyle as it stands due to parts of it being illegal in nature. If they dictated what I loved and hated - then I would not only love these people in power, I would also not hate them...restaraunts is the most ridiculous point in the universe lol, since when do those in power steer us to the nearest 'Abra Kebabra' Or whatever instead of Kentucky Fucked Chicken...?

For the record - I don't pay tax currently, nor do you - we aren't giving them money. And I don't think any of us think that the people in power are role models.

Fuck them, fuck power, fuck government, fuck religion, and fuck all of you who don't see what shit is being pulled over our eyes.

If that's your attitude to us who don't see we're being fooled - why spend such a lengthy time explaining this to us?

Think for yourselves, don't think what others have told you to think. Respect those who you know personally. They gave their life for you? That's their choice, you didn't ask for it. I wouldn't give my life for you all. I care about me and those I love, not those in the future or the past. I'm not going to give my life...my precious life...for someone I will never meet...who may never be born.

So, you're demanding us to think for ourselves. Seems a bit contradictary in nature . They gave their life not for us. They gave their life because of orders. If we're talking Iraq - I don't think anyone should be fooled into thinking that by attacking a pissy little country like that is defending us.

also, if they don't exist yet - you aren't really giving your life for them. You're giving your life for their would be parents, if you're giving it at all lol.

You all riding your high horses because you're a patriot and respect your country, you support crime more than any organized crime syndicate. Governments make the worst crimes every day, and you support them.

Fuck
You
ALL!

By definition, they commit no crimes - as they are the law makers...they are able to make it so that what they do is not a crime. Patriotism I simply don't understand, in the UK I feel there is less of a sense of national pride than there is in USA...why take pride in what is essentially a mass of land that's existed so long before you and will exist so long after you....?


Fuck you too :-)

You can flame me now.

I believe I have, quite articulately
