RANT #1:

Have you ever noticed that when people commit a mass murder or commit suicide, people always say, "Oh, I never thought that they would do something like that"? Well, do you know WHY people never know that someone is going to do that?

THEY DON'T CARE.

Honestly, though. If you talk to a person and you genuinely care about them, you will listen to them and pick up on the fact that somethign is wrong, even without having to ask. Then, you can talk to that person from there, asking them what the matter is, etc. The main thing I'm trying to say is simple:

PEOPLE DON'T CARE; FIX IT AND START CARING ABOUT PEOPLE!

Man, I can't STAND People because of HYPOCRACY! People (I've especially noticed this of christians), swear up and down that they care about people, then they just go on living their lives NOT CARING AT ALL about anyone else. (Remember, though: I am, myself a christian, so I'm not BY ANY MEANS trying to bash christianity; I'm just trying to point it out, so maybe people will quit being stupid.)

RANT #2:

"The N Word"

Alright, there has been lots of speculation about the so-called "N Word". Let me quickly define "The N Word" for you. The "N Word" isn't a derrogatory racial slur. Many people do sometimes use it that way, but, then again, the same is true with queer (which is english for "odd" or "different"), faggot (a lorge bundle of sticks), retard (umm...mentally challenged person), etc. It doesn't mean that these words don't have other meanings, it just means that some people prefer to use them in a derrogatory fashion. Now, that I have (hopefully) cleared that up, I can go on...The "N Word" is a word that means a person who believes/acts like they are owed something by someone just for who they are. And, if you are someone who thinks that ANYONE owed you anything, let me tell you right now. There is NO ONE on EARTH that owes you A THING! If you don't like that, sorry, but...screw you. Also, you don't have to be "black", "colored", "African-American", etc. to be a "N...". In fact, many homosexuals are, as are many white people, as with many black people. No race is indemnified. Anybody can be a "N...", regardless of your heritage, family, etc. I recall an illustration that I saw once that portrays a line (All of them being "N..."s), and in this line are gays, blacks, latinos, etc, and someone towards the back of the line made a comment about going to the fron of the line, and a black person piped up, "I don't think so. I'm black and my people have been mistreated by whites for 30 years," followed by a gay man interjecting, "Oh, yea? Well, I'm gay and subject to persecution everywhere I go." Well, guess what? YOU'RE BOTH WRONG! Neither of you deserve to be at the front of the line any more than the other people in the line. You think that just because you are gay, black, etc, you are owed something. You never worked on a plantation; your ANCESTORS did...now, I'm not saying that I condone what southern whites did to blacks, but, geez...you don't need to keep bringing it up...not everything is about your ANCESTORS. You aren't owed SQUAT! No one owes me a thing, I don't owe anyone a thing, no one owes you anything, and you don't owe anyone anything. That's the way it works; it's called "reality". Check it out, sometime.

RANT #3:

"African Americans"

Ok, I know that I'm bound to get in trouble for this one, but I've got to get it off my chest. It's about the term "African American". I, personally HATE this term, as 99%+ of the people labeled as "African-American" have never even BEEN to Africa, let alone LIVED there. (And, given the chance, they wouldn't WANT to live there, as Africa's a pretty crappy, disease-ridden place, but that's for another rant and another time...) I can't stand the fact that people are called "African-Americans" if they were born in the US. I was born in the US, but I don't claim to be "European-American", even though my ancestors were. To me, that's just stupid.

***DISCLAIMER***



Alright, I know that this page seems to be ragging a lot on christians, but, it's not because I dislike christianity or disagree with it; it's just that I am a christian and am near christians most of the time and, therefore, I notice things with christians that I don't notice so quickly with non-believers. Please don't take this rants page as something bad, sacreligious, etc. I don't mean it that way and to interpret it as such would be to pervert the meaning and truth in it. If you don't appreciate this page, just don't look at it anymore, but don't use anything on this page out of context to hurt others (including me ;). Thank you for spending your time.
