Opinions Not Wanted Here

I feel the title of this post lends itself to a varity of topics, but I'll make do with this.

Politicians are not Gods, regardless if they think so or not. They are not these mystical beings who control every aspect of life.

They must be servents of the people. The only reason we have dictators and the like, is becasue the people are too lazy or too subserviant to do anything about it.

You may be thinking however, "but they'll get the military to kill dissentients." My answer to that is what about womens rights? Black civil right? LGBT not being persecuted? White men just didn't decide one day that these people should be able to do what they themselves were doing, did they? No! These groups of people fought for what they got, they literally gave their lives for the betterment of mankind.

In the same way, the people must fight for what the people want. You cannot expect a rich man to know what a poor man needs and can afford. The only people who know what is best for the people is, in fact, the people themselves. A gymnast does not expect everyone on the street to be able to do the splits, and does not think them idiots or uncivilised if they are unable.

Politicians must be like this, in the respect that they listen to what the people want and actually use these comments and such as guidelines. One cannot forgo the peoples wishes and needs, however I do understand that there are some things the people may want which may not be possible. At least tell the people why. Tell us why you do the things you do, and no nonsense answers either...

In short; the opinions of politicians are not more important than those of the people. 

Goddamn Dumba**es

If you find any of these questions "unanswerable" or difficult, I've got some bad news for you...

Christmas - God = Still Christmas

I'm an atheist and if I want to celebrate Christmas I will.
Although the Christmas we all know is rife with Christianity, it originates from Pagan tradition. One of these, and arguably the most important, is the date.
The bible does not state when Jesus was born, however historians believe he was probably born around September (it is unlikely he was born during winter and survived). The feast of the son of Isis was held on this day however; drinking, eating, and gift-giving were done during this festival (so we're not so different from the Pagans after all huh?). Also the winter solstice was celebrated in Rome well before Jesus' birth.
Pope Julius I declared that christmas was this day, most likely to make it easier for pagans to convert to Catholicism.
The tree was a symbol many people used to remind them that their crops would grow again.
Anywho, the modern X-mas we know today (most likely) comes from Germany. The first recorded decoration of a tree in celebration of J.C's birth was in 1521 in Germany.
But if you don't believe me search it on google or whatever you use and get over it. You tell me I'm not supposed to celebrate this holiday because it's celbrating an idea I don't believe in, but when someone doesn't celebrate it they're instantly condemned for being evil or whatever the hell it is you judge people who don't agree with you wholeheartedly as.
Merry Birth of Santa.
(Even though it's the 26th here).

Evil Visited Today: II

On a related note to the CT shooting, we can not also forget that a man in China stabbed 22 children in a primary school (elementary school for the American readers) over in Henan province, China.

Too many children died yesterday.

Evil Visited Today

Even though I am a New Zealander I feel deeply for the families of those twenty school children in Newtown, Connecticut, U.S.A.
I can not imagine the deep hurt inflicted upon the community. Like many have already stated online and on the news, I cannot fathom such a tragedy. The parents who will never tuck their children in at night again, the one less plate to fill at meal times; the gifts that they will have to return or give away. This season, meant to fill our hearts and minds with joy and familial reunification will perpetually resonate sorrow and heartbreak. That is unimaginable.
We should not, however, dwell upon the broken and shameful individual. Someone that sick does not deserve our attention and hatred; only pity. He was a coward. He was a depraved coward who preyed upon those poor individuals and I pity him for that. It may sound redundant but what about his family? This family will potentially be hated for what this one person has done. He's cursed his family.
You may have the right to bear arms, but you have no right to take lives.
The way I see it, if this event does not force you to take a good hard look at yourselves, you will never change. How many innocent lives must be taken before a change is made?

However, just remember;
"The number of hugs per gunshot is very high... Humanity is good. Some people are terrible and broken, but humanity is good. I believe that." -Hank Green

So Goddamned Frustrating

About "Attention Seeker's" post; 

So here's a little update on the front. 

How is it she frustrates me more when we don't talk?! 

I'm paranoid whenever I login to Facebook, to check my messages or just scroll down to amuse myself for a bit, that she'll be on and she'll start taking to me. All conversations with her start off normal, heck you wouldn't even know if she hadn't told you, but one way or another she slips her feelings into it, or whatever conclusion she's come to about her life or sex life. Sometimes she's blurted it out without warning. 

I really don't want to talk to her because, as un-medically backed as this claim is, her categorical "funk" is contagious. I'm paranoid, getting more and more depressed (well not depressed, but less happy day by day), and I'm not getting as much sleep. You see most people pull all-nighters for reasons: workers, students, gamers; me? nope, just couldn't sleep (the fact that I have no more school may contribute to that a bit mind you :/ ). 

Pretty sure she's still alive btw. A friend said she talked to her the other day (although only briefly). 

It's just so goddamned frustrating. 

Worst Thing to Happen? Ever?!

I understand many people may dislike this, or disagree with it or whatever, however I am inclined to not care.

The holocaust/the Nazi regime/Hitler, was not the worst thing to happen ever.
