So how many of the Christians names can you remember, the ones that were fed to the lions by the Romans, how many of the names of the victims of Hitler do you remember, or even the survivors?
Alexander the Great and Attila the Hun razed the globe but we don?t have a minutes silence for their victims once a year do we? How many Ethiopians or Somalians have to die before you shout them a cheeseburger? They have to trudge 6 miles a day, there and back, for a total of 12 miles a day, just to get water, and because the government deems you mentally unfit you get? what? $500 a week to spend on whatever you like!
Ever been to Hiroshima, popular holiday destination that, I bet you know the name of the plane that flew over it though. Aids, oh there?s a good one, how many people have died of aids since say, 1988. And did you look at any of the floods, tidal waves, tsunamis, droughts, tornadoes, mud slides? insert name of other natural/ manufactured disaster event here, did you look at any of them and wonder how long it would be before you didn?t have to hear about it anymore, so your life could go back to normal?
The point I am trying to make is that it is horrible that people die in tragic circumstances and it is good that we remember them but truly giving a **** is hard to do unless it affects you personally, if somebody you know dies and you get upset for people not remembering them every year then you are a hypocrite. People use tragedy as a platform to say things they think will get them noticed, so we ignore that some people are uncomfortable talking about these things and just go ahead and talk about them anyway, because that is what we do, we talk about the latest thing going on for the benefit of our own selves and not for any altruistic goal. We also use it as an excuse to rake somebody else over the coals, this time it just so happens to be the gun toting yanks that have been caught in the crosshairs and I see people even here disregarding respect by having a go at them for being warmongers, well how much of the world did the Brits conquer huh?
Oh My God?
American children died though gomendosi you heartless bastard, well hands up all those who remember little English Jamie Bulger, a gun for him would have been a mercy. Google!
So, the killer from the latest round of shootings didn?t kill people because he had Aspergers and we here all know that, but the truth is he did have Aspergers and that angle will make him stand out for a few weeks, and that will help sell newspapers simply because the last nut job didn?t have Aspergers, oh but they sold their papers that time because he was obsessed with Batman. If we want to forget old fashioned decency by talking about things that will make others uncomfortable then maybe you should just stop watching the news like I have and you won?t know about it to discuss it, Ahhh but that is where freedom of speech comes into it, everybody has the right to discuss what they like, right? Well again I cry hypocrisy, because you can?t like that Americans let everybody have a say regardless of who is listening and then crucify them for loving guns. This self serving, double positive, two faced ingratiating thinking is what makes me sick about people.
Look, lets face facts, bad people may not know they are bad, and good people can easily be bad too, so I put it like this, if a person tortures a dog can you really be upset and surprised when it tears a child?s face off, no, but after they kill the dog, they look in suspicion upon the rest of the breed and do the back patting and hand holding to comfort all involved and everybody asks what we could have done to stop it, well, here?s an idea, maybe stop torturing dogs!
Let?s apply that to troubled youth, so, kids get guns and kill people:
Maybe if we discipline the child he will know pain and not desire to inflict it.
Maybe if we don?t give him everything he wants he will know self control
Maybe if we make him work he will understand the value of things
Maybe if we entertain him instead of always being busy he won?t need to join a gang
Maybe if we respect him he will show respect
Maybe if we nurture him he will develop self worth
NOTE: I use the word him as I am male, females go mental too though!
If steak knives were the weapon of choice:
Would you stop eating steak at your house, stop the manufacturing of steak knives or boycott butchers till they only sold mince?
Maybe, maybe, maybe, it all is reversible but then, who actually gives a ****, there are 6 billion people on the planet and a few take their leave in various ways every now and again? Who cares, start a war and thin the herd and the people who are left will have room to breath and move again and they will be able to reconnect to one another again, finally? kill the internet and mobile phones and make people have to deal with one another face to face again so they can recapture the humanity of each interaction. Narrow down choice and limit availability to reconstitute appreciation for range. Bring back proper socialisation and people will develop more warmth for what they think are faceless drones that they find themselves surrounded by.
That guy probably didn?t kill real people in his opinion, he finally got noticed or he achieved recognition or he became famous in a flash, and he won?t be the last.
Read this did you, fuming are you? Going to post an angry reply or go off to get me banned or are you going to analyse what you think my life is like from all my posts and surmise I am unstable?
or maybe you?re going to cheer because I don?t conform, I stand out and say what I think, maybe, just maybe, you simply don?t care either, because you know this is today and tomorrow is more of the same?
So how about you just turn off the computer and take the kids to the park, or ring your grand kids and invite them over for a story about the good old days, hey, go and volunteer for a day or a week at an old folks home or at a special school, go and offer to start a reading corner at the local library and try out some funny voices while regaling the little ones with Roald Dahl?s The Witches.
But you wont, you would rather stay here and chat nonchalantly about all the horrible things that are going on in the world, regardless of who wants to hear them or whether they are appropriate or who gets hurt from your pointed words, well, just so you are aware my friend, YOU are a part of the problem.
None of these shooters is ever alone in what they do, with this latest one, there are umpteen billion irresolute, self centred, petty little people who contributed to the way he was, what he did and how he ultimately ends up being remembered and we can speculate or cower or accuse or hate or pity as much as we like, but none of us changed him by doing nothing, we Aspies claim to be better than everybody else, we claim we don?t understand anybody and that regular people are so different from us, so why are we not showing everybody else the way if we are so awesome, bollocks, people with a social disorder talk a good game and claim to be clever but we are just the same on the inside as everybody else and these killers simply remind us that we all bleed red blood and nobody wants their blood spilled, so we do nothing and it goes on.
The news started out as a way to inform people of the good and the bad so they could celebrate or put a stop to things, now they do it because frightened people like to hear that atrocious things happened to somebody else and that makes them feel safe, then they tell all their friends the gruesome tale as a way of being happy it wasn?t them this time. It is like watching vultures feed after the jackals have snuck in and taken the majority of what?s left. Decent people grieve (the lions), Jackals come and pick the bones (the press) and vultures come to scavenge what?s left <--- these are those people that wouldn?t lift a finger to help a fellow but will tell you all about the latest tragedy in all its gory details, despite that you don?t want to hear about it.
**** I wish there were evil aliens, and then we would all have to unite as a planet leaving behind ridiculous and often child like squabbles.
**** I wish there was a god or gods that would pop up and show us how to act, only 2000 years and the lesson has been washed away already.
People don?t care about others anymore but yet they can?t shut up about others misdeeds.
