Rant for Primary Voting Day

[Synthetic]

Yeah, who would guess i would rant:
I could possibly offend, dont take offense. Just consider me ignorant. ;D

_______________________________
I'm a firm believer in not speaking about politics due to how it can totally fuq up the way people deal (or dont deal) with you. However, i've had enough of this shit:

To those of you that are getting totally into this major presidential race: ITS NOT NCAA BASKETBALL!! Stop preaching to people why these canidates are such great choices. THEY ARENT! Its the way our civilization works. Choosing the lesser of the evils in no fuq'in way constitutes as getting someone "good for the job" into office. You want to put someone worth having into the office? Go for the guy that is open to new ideas and is passionate about changing something about this country. The guy (or gal, or tranny) that doesnt want to be backed by big business companys that want shit in return. Let me ask you this: do you know how much money the President of ol' USofA makes?? Not shit. Underpaid just like teachers, cops, military, etc. They make their money from their "buddies" who donate money to their "cause". WTFZORZ!?! Money for free?! I think not....

I hear so many speaking to me and speaking around me about how they want all these different things changed in our social and government systems, but let me tell you, voting for a Obama or Hilary because they preach change is not going to make that happen.

I'm not saying go out and start throwing molotov cocktails at walmart or anything like that, i'm just saying, you all need to step up your game. I dont even vote, so many of you are now thinking "Well, you dont even contribute, so what can you even say about anything in government if you dont use your right to vote and make a change?" Voting another hypocratic fuqtard into the oval office doesnt constitute as making a change in this country. I'm sorry, but if you can honestly take history classes, read history books (not just from this country, because those a bias), watch the news and not see that SHIT DOESNT CHANGE, than wtf to you. Voting a new person to get into office, look at situations and put out a big *sigh* of "OMGFGWTFHAX, everything in this country is a disaster and the only power i have is to veto, authorize military action, or ask nicely for bills to be voted on!"

The next President wont fuq'in save us. America, wake the fuq up! The President cant do shit for you, dont worry so much about what they preach about the issues, because thats all bullshit anyway. You want to see change to the big issues of our country?! How about following the senate or congressional elections as intently as the presidential! GOD it infuriates me. "The People" are us, we should be controlling our gov't with our votes, which is why congress and senate are so important. President is only a prom king or queen, its not the position thats going to get shit done. Look in history if you dont believe me.

I find it so hard to believe that we learn so much in schools and while so many are too wrapped up in cheating on tests and "cramming" for their finals so they can go to college to make more money etc etc etc, but dont learn a fuq'in thing. I'm not saying everyone, but there are a lot of you out there. I'm not personally attacking you, its just matter of fact. Watch your polluted news, read a newspaper (not the funnys). We're are the dumbest of the smartest countries because we push students through. Saddness.

I'm not anti-american, but i will say i lack pride in being an american. Why should i have pride?? Have you all not seen ourselves?? Thats right, i'm incorporating myself, i am american. We're becoming the biggest joke in the world and we're still walking around with our chests puffed out and a shit-eating grin on our faces like we have something. Just like the silly wankers walking out of Gold's gym. Feeling like they've accomplished something (yeah, i used to work out there, i'm still included).

We dont have a reason to be prideful right now, we're all idiots to let this country get to its current state. We all let this happen. We all need to take responsibility, and first thing to do is to stop giving into media hype! Presidential race just takes away from real issues and takes the focus of Americans off the things we really need to be paying attention to. We worry about cleaning up other countrys when our focus needs to be on making our world better...since Americans do live in their own lil world.

I may have just stepped on toes, i may have just pissed some people off, or maybe even gained some respect. I just had to say whats been bothering me through this whole Decision '08 bullshit media hype. Go to the people's representatives, not Presidential Prom King/Queen. The President is useless, it was a position started for people that made differences in this country, they dont make a difference anymore. It should be the people making the difference. We should be taking back our country. Its written, right there...in very old and very serious words on the Declaration of Independance and within the Constitution. We the people are supposed to be the authority. I cant believe so many have forgotten or just dont excercise it.

Good on ya Synth!

That was a long diatribe, but worth the read.

[PuffA_Few]

Well said. Just change a couple of names and places and you have Canada land of the taxed to death.
We face the same problems, with that fuckin Ken doll we have as a "leader". I back you 100% Bro.

[kittensinsanity]

i actually read all that and understood it and totally fuckin agree dude

[Bubbles_Few]

I'm actually okay with taxes. Whether I pay it through the government or I pay it directly doesn't really matter to me. It buys civilization. But I'm totally on board that we've lost our way. It's all about power and not about actually trying to improve the lot of fellow citizens. I have always been politically active, but now I've shifted my focus. As the saying goes, "Sweep in front of your own door and the whole world will be clean." I'm very tolerant of others unlike me and wish that our "systems" were likewise. Look at us. We're all from different walks of life, different ages, and yet there is respect and decency exchanged voluntarily. It's not like the threat of jail time is keeping us treating each other well. It's a fundamental understanding that everyone here has good and worthwhile ideas that can contribute to a larger solution. So for me, I now help out my neighbours even more. I try to buy food that's grown near me, I compost and recycle, I read to the elderly and help feed the homeless at a local restaurant that offers free food. Bottom line, these things feel good for me and make my life better. There's few more gracious and grateful people than those in dire need. In short, I don't think fighting negativity with negativity works, so I like the empowering words I'm seeing here. People want peace and harmony rather than having things "their" way. Good for you Synth. You communicated your frustration, and at the same time showed respect for all people. You're even okay with a Tranny for president. Now I have to go do some important work with unwed mothers....

peace. bubs

[Synthetic]

Thanks guys, i just had to get it out and this is always a good place for risking sounding stupid. Its my comfort/safety zone. LOL ;D



I have some important work with an unwed mother aswell...well, if she takes my bait and realizes children are mobile and not a burden on a big kid like me. LOL
Hella good chick, but she comes from a rich, down-deep-south family. So i dont have anything to offer really. Or atleast feel that i dont.

[Bubbles_Few]

Syn, you just showed us what you have to offer in the initial message. It was thoughtful, open-minded and its intention was to improve your society. It was all pretty self-less and any girl, from any where, could benefit from having a partner like that.

When Christian's say "God created man in his own image," they often mistake the "his" as "God's" image. They're in good company. That's what Michaelangelo thought too, so he painted an old guy in a white beard because the "Father" must look like us because we look like him. But the "him" is not "God's" image, but the man's. So "God" (the Universe, the laws of nature, whatever you call it) created you, and you the man comes to life in your own image.

In short, people who think insecure thoughts live insecurely. People who believe they are smart find proof of that everywhere. People who think they are ugly find proof of that everywhere. Ever notice how both anorexics and extreme body builders both look in a mirror and actually see, respectively, either a fat, or skinny version of themselves? These are powerful ideas. Believe you can't do math and spend the entire test saying that to yourself until the test is over and you've then proven it with a bad score, when in fact no one can even drive and make a left hand turn without being brilliant at natural math. Translating that math skill into arithmetic might be a challenge, but just because you can't tell a story in Czech doesn't mean you can't tell one in English.

In short, whatever we believe about ourselves is how we appear to ourselves. So I don't find it reasonable that you would see yourself in this way. You deserve to have different sorts of thoughts about yourself. Kinder thoughts. Thoughts that you deserve any woman who chooses to see the qualities in you. Any person can also choose to see our deficits, but that's their problem not ours. Everyone has those. As the Buddhists say, there are no one-sided coins. So don't focus on your tails when your heads are both so decent and obviously caring. It doesn't do you or anyone else any good, and it saves those of us who like you from hearing our friend being attacked (even if it's by himself).

Good luck with your unwed mother.

peace bubs

[Synthetic]

LOL, i just meant financially nothing to offer. As a person and a lover I find I have much to offer, actually.

Thanks for the kind and inspiring words though, Bubs! ;D And i completely agree and say generally the same thing to friends/family that are going through tough times or are thinking they cant do things.
I'm a heavy believer in that we can all accomplish vastly great things if we just learn to focus our minds on them. Big problem with me because I'm so ADD that i tend to focus on like 5 things at once and all at the same time with over-lapping thought processes that leave me confused because now i've integrated thought process from focus point A with focus points C and E....making me wonder.........wait...what hell was I talking about??
Then of course, I'm lazy as all get out, so i tend to just say "meh, fuck'et" lol

[Bubbles_Few]

If she's from a rich family then she doesn't need money, so you're fine. Money's today's version of being a silver-backed gorilla. It implies safety and status, but it doesn't actually necessarily deliver it. If she digs you, then that judgment is up to her. If she wants to trade a guy with money for a guy with a big, talented wiener, well then you're in the cat-bird seat buddy! Enjoy.

peace. bubs

[HuheyGroove_Few]

My My.....this is why I don't watch the news!

[Bubbles_Few]

It's true Huhey. There's really no point. I was a news addict. I was very well informed and all it did was depress me. Now, I only log onto the Great News Network. It's real news stories, but they're all positive, good ones. Reading that reinstates my faith in humanity. I highly recommend it as a replacement for the "real" news that offers little that can improve my life.

Don't get me wrong Bubs. I've been paying my taxes for the 35 years that I've been working. That's how my two girls (now 24 and 27) got there education and why they are now contributing members of society paying there taxes so my grandson, now in grade 1, can do the same. It's the provincial taxes that disturb me. We need to pay those as well, but there getting way out of hand. Let's face it, once you make $150,000.00 or more a year, you pay less tax, shelters and I'm not talking for the homeless, oh that reminds me I need to run down to the bush at the end of my street to invite a homeless blind person with schizophrenia, one leg and wearing someone else's prescription glasses to my place for the night.

[Bubbles_Few]

I'm with you brother. It's always easy for us to cut services to the less fortunate. They have no political voice.

My family took a lot of foster children in because my parents served in the war and just had this idea that everyone had to look out for each other. My egg and sperm didn't decide to be born into a house where I wasn't regularly beaten or humiliated, and it didn't decide to be born on top of a bunch of dead dinosaurs. And I absolutely didn't decide not to have schizophrenia, so I spend most of my life happy because I can't believe how fucking lucky I am. But if I wasn't this lucky, I'd sure be grateful to people who helped me out when I was down. And frankly, based on my travels around the world, if I can't afford to share, then I don't know who could. I am literally in the top 4% of earners on the planet Earth. I'll bet most of us are.

Personally, I'd rather see my rich brother paying way more tax, and I'd like all the people just like him--with schizophrenic daughters--to have the sort of services he has to pay privately for. I'm glad he's well off enough that he can take care of her like that. And I'm proud of him for increasing his employees benefits because he realized none of them could do likewise. But there's still a huge disparity, and it sure seems like it would benefit everyone if we did feel more of a sense that we're all in this together. I mean, isn't that why we joined this clan? It seems sort of human to me, that we'd be tribal. I need the people who inspect my food, I need the people who clean my water. I don't know them, but I need them. And if someone that important to me has a sick daughter, then I want to help.

I'm sure we can build a world where the CEO of Exxon doesn't take 450 Million in one year, and instead build one where we give him five million, and use the rest to build children's hospitals. If we actually did that, after the fact, I bet even the CEO would think it was a better idea. There's few things that feel better than truly helping someone out when they really needed it.

I'm totally okay that other people have had different life experiences and therefore have different conclusions on these subjects. That's what a democracy is. A bunch of different opinions meeting to file away the weakest ideas, hopefully leaving the best ones, most of the time. So in the end, I just try and act in a way that seems right for me, and I trust that everyone else is doing likewise, and that in the end something good will come from all of those good intentions.

peace. bubs
