Truly Feared Pyro
thought provoking thread.... this is new.
I am not sure where all of you are located. I live in the United States, the country where it is okay to sue somebody for doing something or saying something you dont like. I am sure there are other countries that also operate that way, but i hope for your sake you dont live in one. In my opinion the problem is not the general population, it is the government. The courts have set a standard in this country based on the "feelings" or "mental well-being" of others. This has brought out all of the different groups who support this, or hate that and given them power. On one hand i believe this is a positive thing, for the reason it is easier to get a perspective that 50 years ago you may have not been able to hear. On the other hand (the much bigger hand) it has turned are youth into a bunch of confused idiots. One day these confused idiots will be running are companies and are government. I believe my country which i served for and a few people i knew died for is turning into something that i would not risk breaking a pinky nail for. To say that we as a people need to come together and change are political climate is an understatement. In fact i personally believe that it is to late. We as a people have allowed are government so many liberties over are daily routines in the name of fairness and saftey that we have lost the core values are government was created upon. I now live in a country where people just allow there government to tell them what is safe, and what is offensive.
There have always been groups at odds with each other. Often times (in the past) these groups have resorted to violence to solve there differences. Globally speaking most of the biggest changes that occured in large populations have been the direct result of violence and death. The human race is one of the few mammals on this planet who will kill there own kind for pleasure or "pride". These have been the actions of humans since the begining of time. We have killed in the name of God. We have killed in the name of patriotism. We have killed in the name of race. We have killed in the name of property. We have killed in the name of money. We will keep killing each other until are time on this planet is over. That my friends is humanity. This is are nature wether we like it or not. Are we all violent people? no. Can all of us become violent? yes. I have watched the kindist person in the world end anothers life because it was his "duty". Because he was told it was in the name of good. What i am getting at is you can all sit back and think that your voice matters. That your opinion is important. The reality is your opinion means nothing in the larger scheme of things. The only way it would mean something is if you had control over the hearts and minds of thousands of men with semi-automatic weapons.
So sit back and talk about how you feel. Tell the world that it isnt fair. The reality is you are part of the problem. Most of us are not ready to die for are opinions. Most of us just want to live a quiet life, have sex, make money, and take a shit on a heated toilet seat. Do you know why you have the ablilty to do that? Because men with guns will kill anyone who tries to stop you. Not because they care about you. Not because they worry about your mental well-being. It is because they are doing what they are paid to do. Just as there is a man being paid to protect you, i can assure you there is a man who would end your life for nothing more then money or the way you look. So keep debating "racial" issues, keep debating your political leaning. Unless you are truely willing to sacrafice your life for what you believe, nothing will change. It is an easy thing to say, but even harder to prove. Most of the men and women who have proven it are 6 feet underneath dirt.
