There are some things that just really annoy me to NO end.
Okay, I was driving with a friend and he always criticizes bad drivers and this guy drives even worse than them. My god, the guy's swerving in and out of traffic at like 80 miles an hour even swerving in front of TRACTOR-TRAILERS!!! I wonder if this idiot even realizes that's how Jacknives and accidents occur. And it's not like he's 17, he's probably around 30.
Also, I was watching this movie called "Dangerous Beauty". I find it irritating that they always portray movies which take place in 1500's Italy with British Actors speaking in English Accents? I figured these guys would sound like, I don't know, Italians! I find stuff like this so irritating. At least TRY to sound like an Italian, do a f-cking Godfather impression even. It'd sound a lot better, I'll tell you that. Either way, the main character is a Courtesan, that's a fancy word for prostitute, aka, hooker, whore, etc. It does sound cooler than saying "I'm a whore for the rich!". In either case she's basically telling these women, all of them married where their husbands are (she's slept with all of them) and one woman asks them why their husbands keep coming back, she takes out a banana and says "the latin word for banana is Ariena, the tree is Pala", peels it and completely swallows the whole thing (looked like a body-double, face didn't match in certain segments). Then she tells them that the most hard won asset for a woman is an education... err, that's true, in fact VERY true, but the message she gave them was "The most hard won asset for a woman is a deep-throat". She should have just said "this" and then proceeded. Spare me the f-cking latin lessons. You know, I can envision some guy buying the DVD just for that one scene
(I'm surrounded by undersexed womanizers.)
Well she gets booted out of the house (Guess they were jealous) and one of the women asks Veronica Franko (the main-character) to make her daughter into a courtesan when she reaches adult-hood! Yikes, that's like saying "Make my daughter a whore".
Oh, she gets accused for witchcraft as well. Basically this guy wanted to f-ck her and couldn't afford her price, he was a bit disgruntled, went to the church; and brought the whole f-cking inquisition down on her. Plagues were hitting Venice at the same time and the Roman Catholic Church was claiming that it was Holy Retribution for living in sin (The Courtesan's fault of course)... although there probably was some basis to the courtesans spreading the plagues-- not by divine retribution but by the fact that prostitutes are known to spread diseases (they didn't know that back then)... She manages to get off, but c'mon Seduction is witchcraft? Damn, then I can be a witch by putting on a really short skin-tight dress?
Sometimes the things the President does just irritates the sh-t out of me, George W. Bush is just angling for a war. He wants a war, and he is not going to stop until he gets one. He's angry that Saddam tried to kill his Daddy, and I guess I can see how he's pissed, but do we need a literal declaration of war? We can attack them without a declaration if we want. The reason I see that he's doing this is to basically give himself more power, and curb civil-liberties. Hey, in peacetime the President has all these limitations imposed on him, but it wartime, he can do pretty much whatever he wants. In wartime you are limited in your right to criticize the government, freedom of the press is curtailed, and you can also be arrested without warrant. I feel honestly he's doing what Adolf Hitler did in '33 or '34 when the Reichstag got burned down, he used that as an excuse to demand more power to combat the problem (which in this case, he claimed it was the jews), once he got the power, he severely curtailed freedom, got rid of the democracy and made himself dictator. I wonder if Bush is trying to pull a Dolfie on us...
People are so paranoid after 9/11, that they just want to feel safe even if it means to give up all their freedom, never thinking that if they sacrifice their freedom, they'd essentially defeat the one great thing about America-- Freedom. I said it when Bush got elected, that he'd plunge the whole country into chaos, and maybe I was right-- I was just about to change my mind before 9/11. There's always going to be risks of a terror attack, I'm not willing to sacrifice all my freedom just to be safe from one. There's also a risk of getting hit by a car, but I still drive to work anyway. The airport-security measures simply give baggage-screeners more right to harrass you (they won't even let you bring a nail-clipper onboard, I talked to this Captain who said that they wouldn't let him bring one onboard, sheesh).
The Patriot Act is downright scary, it gives the government the right to imprison a person suspected of terrorism indefinetly, without trial, and even without council. That is just scary. I could even see why you'd want to hold them, even indefinetly-- but without council? The only reason I can see for that is so that the government can abuse their power. No other reason. The best argument is "why should we give terrorists a lawyer?" Uhm, I always thought that you were presumed innocent until proven guilty? I understand why you'd hold them in this case until you were certain they were innocent because they pose such a grave danger, but I think they should be given right to council-- that is a constitutional right, and remember, some people imprisoned may not be terrorists, they are suspected. I'm not saying I sympathize with them; I think what they did was reprehensable but let's not shred the constitution quite yet shall we? This is even more ironic because that guy Zacharias Moussaoui, who we know is a terrorist, and even PLEGED ALLEGIANCE TO OSAMA BIN LADEN IN *OPEN COURT* is given a FULL-BLOWN TRIAL.
This was an oldie, but a goodie... That Sacramento Atheist who made the Pledge Unconstitutional? His name was Doctor Michael A. Newdow, and he basically got in a bend because he's an atheist and he basically believes everyone else should be.
His daughter wanted to know the meaning of the pledge and he got all bent out of shape about it. It's not like she was an atheist too-- she, in fact, was a practicing Christian. It wasn't even good enough for Newdow that a 1943-44 Supreme Court Ruling said you didn't even HAVE to say the pledge if you didn't want to. He basically went to court claiming that the pledge was unconstitutional because the word God was mentioned in the Pledge. Who cares? True it wasn't there initially, but that's beside the point, we also say "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?" And you don't have to have the "So help you God" part in if you don't want-- yet that still remains part of the oath. He also filed a lawsuit against the President because of some referrences to God (which there were quite a few) actually, it was thrown out though. I guess it was only a matter of time before he'd get lucky-- throw enough sh-t at a wall and some's gonna stick. He's now filing a suit to have Chaplains removed from government. He's not gonna be happy until he has religion completely eradicated.
I'm not very religious, but I feel that if you want to believe, you're free to, and if you don't, you don't have to, but don't tell me I can't believe, or I have to. 93% of americans are religious and only 7% aren't. I always thought this was majority rules, not minority? Also, if you don't even HAVE to say the pledge, why should it be removed? We don't remove the Oath in court, because you don't HAVE to say "God". I feel that if enough steam picks up, atheists like Michael Newdow, would turn into the Catholics of the 6th to 16th century. He also wants to have "In God We Trust" removed from all currency. He's not gonna be happy until not just religion, but theism, or deism (Belief in Gods or deities) is completely pressed out of the public sphere, and atheists are the only ones that are comfortable. After all, some of these atheists think of themselves as mentally superior beings who's minds aren't clouded by mideval mysticism and ancient nonsense which has been accountable for every problem since life spread, tirelessly struggling to free other simple-minded folk from their illusions and toil in vain to force their less-intelligent simpletons to embrace reality. The arrogance some of them possess is astounding.

Vegetarians are vegetarians usually because they feel it morally wrong to kill an animal. I hate to break it to them, but animals kill, and humans do it best. We've turned killing into an art-form. What do you think fighters, and bombers, and FFG's, DDG's, CG's, and Carriers are designed for? For decoration? No, they're built to destroy stuff and kill people. If they just don't like the taste of meat, then they could still order french-fries anyway...
