I’d like to elaborate on each topic a bit more but seeing as I have to use library computers that will have to wait.
And I have to warn you. A lot of you will probably not agree with what I’m saying on this first topic. I could give a shit less about that. I just don’t want to be personally attacked or demeaned because that is what I believe. Disagree with me without being an ass. It can be done.

A load of BS. Palin is good at spewing that out. I have to warn you, I go off on a tangent here. Sure. Non productive citizens, old people, and retarded people not getting decent healthcare is awful to think about, but if they didn’t get it, I’d understand why. Why are we spending all this money on vegetables who have no real worth to society? Like what are these senile, diabetic, catheter using people doing for society? They can’t work, either because of their deteriorating physical condition or because they’re too senile to work. So why do we have all these senior citizen homes? It’s kind of a waste of our resources by keeping alive what is essentially a vegetable. Sure we can learn some amazing stuff from our old people… I can’t speak for any of you, but if I get so old and senile I can’t do anything but sit there, sleep and drool, I want someone to feed me poison. How good is their quality of life if they can’t move, they can’t even go to the bathroom by themselves, and they have to eat baby food? I don’t want to live a day past when I lose my mind. I mean, it’d be one thing if they had the body of a half rotten pumpkin but still had their wits about them and could still impart some part of their past knowledge, but if they can’t even do that, what is the point, really?
And about “special needs” people, sure it’s sad. Yes I know they didn’t ask to be born that way, sure, but it’s sort of the same as with old people. I don’t know if I’d want to have the burden of a child who’s going to have the mind of a nine year old their entire life. It sounds awful, but honestly… And I know you’re supposed to love your children unconditionally, but I don’t know how much I could love something that I’m going to have to constantly care for until I’m too old and senile to do it. I would never want to fucking raise children until I was like 80 and had to be put in a home… Maybe I’d welcome raising a child for 18 years and then helping them along with the rest of their life, but having to be as responsible as that for like 60 years? I’ll pass. And honestly.
If I got pregnant (which I never will) and we could tell that there was a great chance that my kid would be severely mentally retarded, I’d have the pregnancy terminated (a more politically correct way to say “get an abortion”). Sure it’s an awful thing to have to do, but we’re so overpopulated, do we really need to bring another retarded kid into the world? Think about the kid’s quality of life. How good is their quality of life going to be if they have the intelligence of an ape or a severe physical disability? Sure. There are loads of disabled people living meaningful lives… It all depends on the risk of mental/physical disability. And don’t get me started on the people who have multiple mentally retarded children. STOP HAVING KIDS IF THEY ALL COME OUT AUTISTIC PEOPLE.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090812/music_nm/us_clarkson_1 Another volume in the continuing horror story of this country’s obsession with being thin. I am going to quote Foamy the Squirrel here: “You don’t have to adhere to an idealistic vision of beauty marketed by fashion magazines and negatively reinforced by a society dumb enough to believe that beauty only appears on the cover of a magazine”. I mean really. Do they realize that girls (and some guys) look at these magazines as the standard of what they have to be to be accepted? And if these assholes airbrush and retouch their covers so much they don’t resemble real life, how can people live up to that? But nobody cares because not liking who you are makes for a great way to sell people shit. Of course these advertising fuckers don’t want people to like who they are because that won’t make a sale. If people loved who they were, all those anti wrinkle serums and creams wouldn’t sell. The weight loss industry wouldn’t exist. If people liked who they were, nobody would be buying all the fucking weight loss products and expensive home gym equipment. It’s like Phillip Morris (a tobacco company) advertising no smoking campaigns. Really? Do you think they really give a shit? They don’t want you to smoke until you’re 18; after that, they’ll be back to encouraging you to smoke. And they put out these don’t smoke if you’re a kid campaigns, but do you really think they believe that shit? Their advertising and their actions say otherwise. They might put out the kids shouldn’t smoke campaigns to shut the parents up, but they actually want 12 year olds to smoke so they’ll get addicted, so the tobacco industry can continue to rake in shitloads of money.
