Breakfast did help. So did the stupidity of my peers. "I voted for Obama so I'd still have my birth control pills subsidized."
On Facebook, people used to be able to choose under "Political Vi
ews" to be Conservative, Moderately Conservative, Liberal, Very Liberal, etc. I chose Moderate due to my indecisive nature. Nowadays you can enter your own shit, in which people try to be stupid and enter things like "Twilight Society" or "Federation of Vampires." Either people need to grow up a little, or I need to upgrade my Facebook friends (if they mean anything at all).
Some people think "Moderate" is bullshit. Well, the problem is, I would love to be something else; trust me. I hate being indecisive, but I have no choice. I believe in civil liberties and freedoms, but there are boundaries I can cross with religion and such. For example, I want women to be able to choose whether or not they want an abortion. It's their own business if they have problems, and honestly, killing their baby isn't going to affect other people around them. I mean, of course, it makes me feel uneasy, but in the end, it does not affect other peo
ple too much. On the other hand, well...I don't want to get into the gay marriage issue. That's a tough one for me, since I do believe people should be treated equally, but my own personal beliefs and thoughts might force my mind to think that it's unnatural. I'll get back to that when my thoughts are clearer.
I've had some dumb shit ask me "If you're Chinese...are you Communist?" Yes. It was in all seriousness. This is where my super UN-left wing side busts out of its shell. First of all, I hate welfare programs and benefits issued by the government. I think it's bullshit for people who worked harder (granted, most of the middle class + world isn't made up of Paris Hiltons) to have to pay for people who fell to drugs or are just plain lazy. I fail to see the connection between me being a communist and virtually having NO SYMPATHY whatsoever for poor people.
One example can be shown with this new program in Seattle. I believe it's called the "Tent City" project. To my understanding, they set up a bunch of tents in a miscellaneous yet authorized parking lot for the homeless. When they are not laying in their pink tents, they scoure the university street with some cardboard signs hoping to acquire some change. This sounds cute and heartwarming, until you think about it. Why are they homeless? Well think of the douchebag druggy from your high school who always had a smart ass little pimply smile on his face. He eventually realized that while everyone else was being preppy or nerdy and actually doing something (I hate to admit it, but even cheerleading would have been something), he was essentially too cool for school and dropped out. In the end, he probably started becoming some meth addict. Now he's a hobo. He expects you to give him money because you worked your ass off to get to where you are, and he didn't. You can feel sorry for those people; but I absolutely do not (and hippie liberals + indie chicks hate me).
Now in order to rest my case, an acquaintance had been passing around in the area. With the same type of curiosity (although he was much more forgiving as I find West Coasters usually are), he asked one of these homeless gentlemen "Why don't you just get a job?" His response was "I don't want to. It's the government's responsibility to make sure we have a place to eat and sleep and bathe..." Are you kidding me? It's everyone else's responsibility.
It makes me laugh when you have rednecks complaining that they're fat because they don't have money to buy healthy foods (I've seen YouTube video blogs. They do complain about said issues) and demand the elimination of disparaties in wealth. But then they're so American and proud of the freedom they have, criticizing foreigners for being communists. Do they even know what communism is?
Do you even know what communism is?
Right. It's all bullshit. Work hard, play hard. Don't work..be a hobo. Don't expect anything from anyone else. I can't even imagine any of the trailer park trash to work to contribute to the common good.
Things have changed since 1848. The party seems to be over.
