Politics and Stereotypes
I just wrote this entry on xanga and feel like I should put it here as well:
Right now I think I’ll take the opportunity to voice my political views on xanga. I don’t think I’ve done much of that here. So here are some of my views on two political topics:
Military: US military presence should remain in all current locations. No withdrawal. No draft, voluntary service ONLY. Defense of our country when necessary. Side note: why is everyone saying “bring our boys home”? They volunteered for this! They wanted to defend our country. Let them do their job. And also, the complaining about 1300 dead? NOTHING compared to Vietnam, WWII, or the Civil War.
Civil Liberties: Human rights protected. Here defined as the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The three rights are also in order of importance: life takes precedence over liberty which takes precedence over the pursuit of happiness. Fairness and equality. All other freedoms should not be hindered. No invasion of citizens privacy.
Civil Liberties in depth: If a drug is a plant, it should be legal. Think about it this way: you could smoke a tomato plant. Abortion is illegal, seeing as it is taking away the babies right to life. Life > woman’s control of her body. Affirmative action should be illegal, as it is racist. Guns for everyone. Even if there are gun control laws, thats not going to stop the criminals from having guns! They already have them and don’t care. That’s why they’re criminals! Gay marriage is legal. I’m not going to do it, but if they want to FINE. I know it’s wrong, but the government shouldn’t be able to tell me that. RELIGION BY FORCE DOES NOT WORK. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS.
Whew…ok. So those are my opinions on a lot of major topics. On the civil liberties part, I could go much more in depth, but I will refrain. Feel free to post your opinions as well, seeing as you have a right to them.
Now I think I’ll talk a bit about stereotypes and the like.
I hate stereotypes/cliques/classifications. Whatever you want to call them - I despise them. I hate when people try to put people into a pre-made, processed piece of crap class that no one really fits into. Everyone is different, no one is the same. People are individuals, not groups. If people would realize this, then they would stop complaing about people not being “punk” enough, or people being too “preppy”. Just be your SELF. Don’t be something else. YOURSELF. I don’t know how much I can stress this.
