- What do you do when you’re mixed up (this can be any context you wish)?
have giant spazz attacks, basically. bite my nails, pace, obsess, twitch, and remain silent in an effort — futile, i might add — to avoid screaming without stopping. or go off alone and try and get my thoughts in order. - Do you think we’re going about all the continuing religious violence in Iraq the wrong way? If so, what other routes do you think we should go? Why? If you think we’re on the correct track, how so?
assuming ‘we’ refers to capitalist America as a whole, fuck yes it’s the wrong way. we’re fucking in the way completely and entirely. imagine for a minute there is a nation out there much larger than America — there are — with more “power” — there are — and an even more inflated sense of self-importance, arrogance and ignorance — questionable, we take the cake on that. now, imagine this nation, we’ll call it EvilNation, and EN decides that christianity — i don’t care what you say, that’s the domineering “acknowledged” religion of the nation whether we like it or not — is all wrong, immoral even. then SA decides that our government is completely irrational and not in the best interest of our people — which is true. first there are attempted summits & quorums and whatnot to discuss, but ultimately: invasion. they will “show” us the way to a “better” government. they will “correct” our religious mistakes. they will impose themselves upon every facet of american life until we bend to their will…or they completely shatter our spirits. but it’s ok, ya know…cuz they’re totally in the right, you know, cuz they think so. of course, this makes EN a bunch of douchebags.only there is no EN, so far plain ol’ regular America is the douchiest bag of all. and as a whole, we don’t seem to give a shit. because i think the average American does not put themselves in the place of the average Iraqi. because they are beneath the US, they are third world, they are different and unknown. and therefore wrong.
and it’s sad. because i’m positive the administration never stopped — just once — to think about all the lives that we, as a nation, are ruining. for the iraqis, who really have little to do with us in the grand scheme of things. and for fellow americans as well. see what this “war” is doing to the economy, the national morale, our public perception to foreign nations, our worldy image, our citizens, the soldiers shipped off & ripped away from their families, the soldiers & families of Iraqi people killed in their home by American weapons and persistance…it’s just…
sad

- One could argue that the USA has it’s priorities all mixed up. What’s one issue that you think we should pay attention to that we are not, or are not giving enough attention to? Why?
ugh, so political for a thursday filler…eep.hmmm…honestly? the US is not paying enough attention to what’s going on right on good ol’ american soil. domestic issues, domestic stability, these are things that need focus. no, we should not ignore foreign nations & concerns, but for fuck’s sake let other countries take care of themselves. in the giant scope of the world, the US has not been around that long, a mere blip in the history of the earth. other nations & civilizations have been taking care of themselves fine & surviving without any interference on our part since before we were a country, i think they’ll be able to go on without our constant butting in. seriously. because who the hell is the US to impose our rule & regulations & ideals upon other people? that basically goes against any claims of ‘freedom’ that allegedly founded our nation…humanitarianism is great, but a world conversion campaign is not what we should be doing as a nation, or as a people. it’s just fucking wrong.
it’s fucking wrong when you have sick & dying people in your own country, starving in the streets & homeless because the job market is down the drain. because they can’t afford health care. because housing costs are astronomical. because the current administration couldn’t possibly give less of a shit about the poor, the impovershed, the needy in the states. look at the natural disasters happening left & right; look at the deficit; look at the education system, the healthcare system, the civil services. it’s a fucking travesty, a laughingstock.
if there isn’t some sort of focus on the things going on right now in the country — actual important things to make changes, to fix mistakes, to try and stop everything from getting worse — there isn’t going to be that much of a nation left to bombard foreign nations with the american way.
ugh…too much thinky. and i do not explain myself well at all. meh.
