Peace signs in our pictures evade our understanding. So few understand the complexity behind the grandest ideals. Conspiracists bitching to people to 'open their eyes', nagging doesn't work, it never will. Indifference spawns from open eyes, as does pessimism and underlying nihilism. I'd say you don't care if I were the first, fortunately (for us all) I don't spew regurgitated nonsense that wouldnt have any effect anyway, if it even ever did. Why is it that you cannot be familiar with such a complex tropic? Are you that dense? Do you need a fucking tutorial for everything? Your actions affect everyone so you best come out of that hole, unless your a pathetic coward like most. Your lucky we can't blame squarely you, even if it is all your fault. Keep giving the peace sign while being the apathetic fuck that you are. Society doesn't expect you to understand much, but I do, and I'll blame all the worlds woes on you for it. I hold you to a higher standard, which is probably why humanity makes me so depressed. I wish I were angrier at you, being cold hearted wouldn't hurt. Especially when its more than deserved. You can't create a side can you? I still blame you for your cowardice, I don't care if your just one sheep in a heard, your still a sheep. You don't want to be embarrassed so you follow others? Is being embarrassed -that- bad as to give up on being yourself? That's pretty fucking pitiful. Keep loving the popular guy, he won't fix all your problems, only you can do that, but you don't have the balls to do anything for yourself unless someone has already set an example. Do what's expected of you and keep flashing those peace signs with your fingers.

Patriotism VS Nationalism

Patriotism;-noun

"Love for or devotion to one's country."

Nationalism;-noun

"Loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially; a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups."

So, nationalism and patriotism, if you don't know the difference then read above because its very important.

Patriotism can be a great motivator to help and contribute to your country, join the military, be happy about paying taxes, community service perhaps. Patriotism should make you happy about where you were born. It enables you to say "I was born in this country, and I'm proud of that."
It should never provoke anger from you, you should never become angry that it was your country. For example, if a terrorist attack kills 50 people in your country, I don't believe it should upset you more so than if the terrorists killed 50 citizens of another country. I see peoples lives equally regardless of ethnicity, nationality, or cultural differences, and I believe Nationalism deters that.

Nationalism is when you believe your country is above other countries. Not that one country can't be more efficient, safer, or less corrupt than another, but you can't believe your country is naturally better. Just an example I can take off the top of my head, radically religious nationalists state that the U.S. is above other nations simply because God blesses it in some way, as if God is watching over our country and holding our hand, while letting the rest of the world do whatever the fuck it wants to. Anyone with a rational mind would question this, as they should. Nationalists can become a real life problem though, they ignore their countries problems because they don't believe it has any, or possibly could have any. Do you know what happens if you ignore a problem? It usually never gets solved (if it doesn't get bigger). So I'll wrap this up...

Do you believe nationalists are a real threat to a country's well-being? What countries do you think have die hard nationalists? How bad is the US compared to others? Do you like your country? Do you love your country? If yes, how much? Would you die for it? Do you even agree with my point of view? If not, state your own and discuss.

Personally I don't consider myself patriotic. I'm glad I was born in a modern country where I don't have to struggle to survive. I don't have to join a militia or street gang like Somalia or other southern African countries. I don't see me being born in the USA anything more than luck really, I'm certainly not proud of my luck, I don't see any reason to be. I also don't hate my country, so please don't imply otherwise. Ive never done anything purely 'for my country' and I doubt I ever will.

I'm in a cynical mood right now, I blame Fox News...

cynical; adverb;
"based on or reflecting a belief that human conduct is motivated primarily by self-interest"


Let me express my deep hatred for cynicism, nihilism, and negativity. I fucking hate them all, there, that's me expressing myself.



Shepard Smith needs to slowly die in a fire, God knows hes probably immune to hells flames since he sold his soul to Lucifer.
I mildly agree with him, but that hardly means hes 100% correct. Besides, if the penalty for being logical and sane is having Smith's smug and pretentious fucking attitude then I rather be as ignorant as I please. I'll fit in with new England's elitist fine thank you very much.

A.I.G. is too big to fall, sucks to hear but deal with it. If AIG falls then so do hundreds if not thousands of smaller businesses that use AIG. Admittedly, I'm not the most natural economist so I tend to avoid these kinds of issues, but just as the most ignorant American, I like to give my opinion regardless of my expertise. I strongly prefer social issues as I have a better grasp on them. Gun control, same sex marriage, welfare, immigration, these my philosophy's can handle and allow me to take a firm stance on. Economics are vastly complex and mentally stimulating. A bit too much sometimes, which makes me feel stupid, as I'm sure it does most people. Not to sound full of myself.

One thing that bothers me to no end is when people who don't understand shit about politics argue stupidly, for instance they'll use arguments like "McCain was a POW, he actually cares about veterans"

No actually that implementation doesn't work like that you retarded fuck. Here's the thing about that, McCain favors conservative principles, conservative principles do not support welfare type programs and government spending. Who happens to benefit from government welfare and spending? Veterans! Obama is the opposite, he supports programs that help veterans.

Linky link

See? That's my point, McCain would've scored higher if he promoted government programs for veterans. Too often average Americans assume and take personality into account. This is politics, we have no room for assumptions and painted on smiles. I'm just saying people should look into depth at their candidates issues and their voting records.

Barack Obama is the 4.....44th President? I don't know, I didn't pay attention in social studies or whatever that class was...teacher just yelled at me, um but anyway! Obama is the new president!

This is a mildly good thing, I like Obama much more than Kerry, Gore, Bush, and McCain. So its like a choice between getting shot in the head (Kerry), getting controlled by a fascist (Gore, and yes hes a god damn fascist, Lieberman is a dick too, God I hate them both). Watching our country die slowly (Bush). Getting Buttfucked while not being able to do anything (McCain). Or finally, trying something else and taking a gamble (Barack). I really hope Obama is as good as Clinton if not better. I don't really support Obama but I have hope because hes so new and unpredictable, I'm very eager to see what he does.

The 90s were good times for the U.S in my eyes, Especially if you compare that to Bush's 8 year term. Obama has already picked a few people for his cabinet and even a few former Clinton people. High hopes indeed, I also didn't realize how much the world watches us, countries were partying like crazy when Obama won, I was impressed.

Obama is against nuclear energy (as am I), hes pro-choice (I'm moderate but leaning liberal), hes pro-gay marriage and basic rights (as am I), he doesn't own 8 houses, and knows Africa is a continent. Did I just hear a Boosh? Yes I think I did...

I did NOT wright this, I found it online and thought it was extremly good.

Thank you, Sarah Palin
for taking women - and men -
back a few notches so fast
we all got whiplash.


Thank you Sarah Palin for proving feminism right;
For showing that men and women are truly equal.

That women can be just as stupid
as the stupidest of men.

Like the men running the country
for most of the past decade.

And of course, Condi too.


Thank you Sarah Palin,
for flashing your girly smile,
and throwing back that silly Northern twang;
Your beauty queen charms warm the limp, lonely he♥rts
of Bill O'Reillys and Karl Roves everywhere.

Thanks for being the prettiest beard
for frustrated Republicans still in the closet.


Thanks Sarah Palin for charging rape victims
for their own rape kits, while preaching to us all
the joys of cherishing our rape babies.

Because life is precious -
until hunting season, that is.


Thank you Sarah Palin for helping intelligent women
realize they are intelligent first, women after.

Thanks for helping smart men appreciate
smart women more than ever before.


Thanks Sarah Palin for making George W.

Bush
look educated by comparison.

Thanks for making Cheney look saner -
at least he shoots at things at close range and
doesn't make couch covers from their bodies.


Thanks Sarah for not blaming us mortals for climate change -
None of us was around 6,000 years ago
when you believe the Earth was created...
How could we know what caused climate change?

Thanks Sarah.

For everything you do.

With everything you say,
you are a reminder
for every girl and every woman
of the choice inside each of us.

The choice...
to be a smart, savvy, self-aware human being
or to be
just another jackass, with lipstick.

Ok, Another blog about politics. I usually wouldn't but some things came up.



Mainly this...




Yeah I feel really bad for McCain...kinda...

I mean he has dignity, hes a decent person. Its just his attack ads are so freakin' misleading its insane. Its pure propaganda at this point. That video is a perfect example of what happens when you do something that 'false'. McCain's ads want you to connect the dots they put out there. They say Obama sympathizes with terrorist, they say Obama might be foreign. They never outright say it but they push you and put it in your head. Obviously there are some ignorant people out there who end up believing this. I mean that video proves it without a doubt.
This is the same tactic Bush used to win both his terms. He said Gore sucked and Kerry was french.

Republicans first rule...
Never talk about yourself or your own candidate or party. Only talk negatively of your opponent, because if people realize you really do suck ass, well at least you'll look better than the democrats.

Thanks for reading, comments are greatly appreciated.

As probably everyone knows, the economy is dying...like really fucking dying.
Like a 72 year old skin cancer survivor/war survivor who's old ways are struggling to stay afloat. Their failing miserably by the way in case you had any doubt about it.

I'm comparing the 2008 Republican nominee to the current economical situation in the USA for various reasons.

1.I think its funny (I'm cynical like that).

2.Their are many similarities, so much opportunity. I wish I was clever enough and creative enough to wright a blog showing off this topics full potential, But I'll do my best.

I mean McCain is old, and so is the capitalist system we use here.
Their both struggling and in bad shape, ok so McCain isn't in HORRIBLE health but you have to admit hes been through ALOT regardless. I'm not happy about this, I'm no fan of Republicans in general but I never wish harm upon people,...haha well maybe a few people *stares seriously* (you know who you are).

Their mainly both entities from yesteryear, living in a world long past for most of us up to date, Us 'hipsters'.
McCain doesn't even use a computer let alone know about most 'modern' technology.
He reminds me of my grandfather who freaked out when he learned my video games can talk.

I'm no 'expert' on economics or the stock market but I 'hear' from 'experts' that I'm basically fucked...or something, I don't really know. I'm hardly coherent when watching the news, I try to watch it every now and then to know some basics of whats going on. It's just hard to take it seriously sometimes, I mean NFL players being traded is 'breaking news'? I didn't think a news station could get away with that. I'm getting sidetracked, so much commentary about the world to discuss but I need to stay on track.


Most people seem to believe the USA is in need of 'change'. Do you know where I'm going with this?...

At first I didn't like Barack Obama, but then I got more involved in politics and read up on his stances on the issues, policies, and ideas. I got to say very honestly that me, being insanely liberal, I love them. Good healthcare plan, good college payment plans, good housing plans, and I could go on and on and on.
The only things I don't like is hes neutral on gay marriage and I'm conservative on gun policy.

I know Obama is only the Democratic nominee because of the desperate time were living in. Things are very bad, People want radical change, a new start to bring things back to the basics. A way to enter into the 21st century successfully.

Obama is young with new, radical ideas compared to our usual way of political thinking.
...and he listens to hip-hop, that's pretty hip and new.

I'm no democrat, but I sympathize for mercy to my liberalness. I hate most political parties.
Politics corrupt, regardless of your stance. If there's something to 'win' their will always be cheaters and people looking for methods to cheat.
Look at Watergate if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Whatever can get you an edge over your opponents, and politics are not saved from this universal rule.

Now I'm pulling for Obama because for the first time, a politician isn't sinking as low as most all do. He isn't airing hateful, misleading, attack ads about McCain, he is kinda being a pussy about it the whole presidential race.
But I like it, its respectful.
Hes winning people over with class and dignity, something you rarely see these days.

*sigh* Ive gotten off track again, but fuck it. It's my blog anyway, I can get off track and just ramble if I want right? Yeah I believe so, power to me.

I wish I could go on on this topic because like I said, it has a lot of potential.


So I'm gonna say this very bluntly and cut to the chase,

McCain is old like the way our system works currently.
Obama is young and refreshing like how people want to see our system work.



Will the economy catch a break? Who will be the next president? Will the bailout plan work? Will there be another Great Depression?

You have to stick around to watch what happens next!
I think you'll agree with me when I say these are very exicting times to live through.

...Want to watch the world collapse with me?

You guys might of heard about that 'Abandon Rutland' Petition I wrote up a few weeks back. If you haven't heres a link,

(http://www.petitiononline.com/jaysidea/petition.html)

check it out real quick.

Well it got a lot of attention, Some Good some Bad. But I noticed most bad was from hardcore anti-liberal Right Wing rednecks who have never lived outside of Vermont and have been born and raised in Rutland. I have nothing against Republicans or conservative or anyone who's a resident from Rutland (I'm prejudice about Rednecks though, Their stupid) but you have to take into consideration some of the points and views I brought up in that petition.

Yes Rutland has ALOT of problems, more than any other VT town that I know of. I started my petition as a joke because I hate Rutland. I lived there for around 10 years...it sucks. It's absolute hell there. Theres nothing for youth to do. I'm not exaggerating either. Ask some kids from there and you'll get similar responses about the place. But my petition also can serve as a notice that people have realized the place needs help on some issues. Now I use it (my Petition) for primarily that purpose.

I laugh a little to myself when I read some of things people say about my petition. I don't laugh at the people who wright about it, I just think its a little comical when a joke is taken serious. It was never meant to be taken seriously but if people want to argue about it and debate about Rutland City's issues I think that's great. My idea to 'Abandon Rutland' is completely Radical and unrealistic. It stimulated a few people and made them think about how to help and hopefully they will start to help there City.

I wasn't born here, I couldn't care less about this State. But hopefully when there older and can vote, they will vote for someone who will fix Rutland's big problems. Instead of a mayor that leaves everything as is. That's in my eyes its worst problem.

-Would you do meth if it was legalized?

No,
lmao, Would you fuck animals if it was legal!
Like I have money for fucking meth anyway. But No I wouldn't.

-Abortion: for or against?

hahaha, if by 'for' you mean 'pro-choice' than yea I am,
if a woman is raped why should she have to have the baby? If a woman might die (complications) from giving birth why should she risk her life if she doesn't want the baby?

-Would our country fall with a woman president?

Yea,
Not if shes a bitch like Hillary, She rubbed me as someone who kinda expected to win no matter what and now she basically got slapped in the face.

I don't hate her but she seemed cocky, I really like Bill Clinton though.
(Fingers crossed for a black women transvestite president)

-Do you believe in the death penalty?
Yea,
Of course only in very specific circumstances, Why should I pay tax's just to support some guy who raped and killed a family?

I believe equality as a person can change depending on your actions. In this case murder, results in your own life not meaning anything, so since ur life doesn't mean anything I'm all for killing u, because ur not a person anymore.
Get it?

-Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

yes,
This question makes it sound like Ive been waiting for it to be legal lol.
Alcohol is worst and that's legal.
Who am I to say weed shouldn't be?

-Are you for or against premarital sex?

How can you be for it?
Like I can understand not being strict about it but to be FOR it would make sex mandatory before marriage and mandatory sex is stupid, I know it sounds sweet but its dumb, lol

I'm for it if both parties have full consent and there's no cheating involved.
There should definitely be a consent age restriction though, I'm a firm believer that statutory rape is a terrible thing.

-Do you believe in God?

Agnostic,
Sometimes I say I'm Atheist or Pagan if I know someone if extremely religious just to piss them off.
I do think the pope is overestimated though,

-Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

No,
If its a government form (which it is) it should have its named changed. Last time I checked we had separation of church and state and marriage is Religious (church).

In the overall picture I'm against it but for very different reasons then what ur thinking right now.

Marriage in itself should be discontinued from Government use and replaced with a different name, like living partnership. that should be equal to either sex, even if there gay. Lets remeber that Religion is not supposed to be involved with government. So in a way I'm against MARRIAGE but I'm against Marriage in government all together. Since they wont change the laws as of right now I'm for it you could say.

I hope people read what I wright thoroughly before sending me hate mail.

-Do you think its wrong that so many Hispanics are moving to the USA?

No,
It's the governments problem.

You Pay tax's so the government takes care of this,

Also the US is called the FREE country.
Thats like having an all-free yard sale then attacking anyone who tries to take ur stuff.

-A 12 year old girl has a baby..should she keep it?

No,
The child should be adopted by a family who wants a baby, Like a family who for whatever reason cant have kids themselves.
A 12 year old obviously cant support a baby let alone them self.
And besides the point …Who the hell would fuck a 12 year old?! Thats like pre-everything.
GROSS!

-Should the alcohol age be lowered to 18?

Maybe, It would cut back on alcohol consumption by minors,

I'm for the legalization of alcohol drinking at any age, take the taboo away from it and kids won't care enough to binge drink. And if they do, then their just fucking retarded and gonna make stupid choices anyway.

-Do you believe in spanking your children?

eh, not really, different kids call for different discipline.
I'm the type of person who thinks learning through consequences works best.
Telling your kids something is just 'bad' rarely works. Let them learn on their own about some things. Not all of course.

-Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?

I'd do it for bus fare,
Not so much that I absolutely HATE the US but If I was in the military I would want there to be no restrictions about your freedom to opinion. Even if it differs from the country itself.
Have u ever heard of being the bigger man?

Besides a MILLION DOLLARS! Dude Id do unimaginable things for a million dollars. Yea....I went there

-A mother is declared innocent after murdering her 5 children in a temporary insanity case… what do you think?

Bitch should get Death Penalty,
I'm extremely cold hearted when it comes to insanity cases and mental disabilities.

If a person is insane then I still count them responsible for there actions, Even if she is innocent, shes a useless individual that offers nothing for society and in that case shes fine to put down, and yes I compared her to an animal.
The worlds a cruel, unforgiving place.
Why should she get sympathy? She doesn't offer anything.
Besides she killed 5 kids. I don't really care what mental state your in at that point.

-It's between you and a person who is being kept alive by life support machines… one has to die? Who?

Life Support dies, I live,
If the person on life support is brainless and a vegetable and I still have potential to live my life than the answer is obvious. If I was on life support and even if I wasn't brainless I would want the same. It's as fair and just as you can get on this topic.

-Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?

No,
you have to have some fucking bravery in you for god sakes. If your scared about your reputation after a survey than Human kind has just hit bottom.
