All right, I haven't updated this page in quite awhile, but I've been thinking that for a page that is called views maybe I should put more than just some essay I wrote 5 years ago up...so here are a few of my views. On some big topics, I guess...if you're offended, great. I'm not saying I'm right, its just the way I feel. But don't try and change my mind, I don't work that way.
- Abortion: If a woman wants an abortion, I say go for it. If you are not ready/don't want to have a kid, and somehow you have one inside you, why should it be illegal to do something about it? A fetus does not have rights. I don't believe that anyone has rights until they can think for themselves. I guess that rules a lot of you out then too, huh?
- Gays: I understand lesbianism. Girls are hot, they are clean, they work hard to look good, etc. But how can a dude look at some guys hairy, pimply ass, and think to themselves "mmmm I gotta get a piece of that." It just doesn't make sense to me, and I think its bullshit to say its genetic, its a choice, and its the wrong choice. Another thing I don't understand, why do lesbians like butch lesbians, and gay guys like feminine guys? If you are a lesbian it seems to me like you would want a feminine partner, because if you want a bulldyke as a partner, you are just begging for cock. I mean, its just an ugly broad who acts like a man, you might as well get a stiff one too.
- Gays, Pt. 2: And another thing, I don't see how people can say that homosexuality is genetic. Homosexuality flies right in the face of natural selection and Darwinism. There are no gay animals because if there was, they wouldn't procreate and they wouldn't pass on whatever gay gene there allegedly may be. Therefore, gays should not be able to adopt, donate sperm, eggs, be artificially inseminated, or in any way become a parent. Why would we want to promote something as unnatural as homosexuality by letting them have kids? Its just plain wrong.
- War: We are the most powerful country in the world. If something pisses us(i.e. our leaders) off, then we can act with force if we deem it necessary. I don't care what fucking France thinks. They can tell us what to do when they win a war for themselves the fucking frog faggots. I don't feel it is necessary that we find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to justify the war. We saw a people being repressed and as a sympathetic nation decided to put an end to it. I know there are plenty of repressed people in the world, but Saddam is a visible target and by disposing of him we send out a message to the rest of the world that America has a fucking set of balls and we aren't afraid to use them.
- War, Pt. 2: I'm just gonna pontificate on a few topics here, draft dodging, prisoner abuse, and divulgence of information. First of all, we haven't had a draft, and we probably aren't, but if they do have one, I will not make any excuses. It tears me up that there are people out there fighting and dying for me, so I can drink and make an ass out of myself. Its sick, and I hate myself for not being over there. Now, as far as the prisoner abuse scandal, it fits in with the issue of divulgence of information. I don't think we should know a thing about whats going on over there as far as that stuff. The American people need to support this war, and if any abuse is going on, I'm all for it. Look what those fucking towelheads are doing to their prisoners. Its a hell of a lot worse than what we did, I'll tell you that much. Think about the kind of stuff that happened in Vietnam if you've had someone tell you about it. This is not the type of thing I want to know while we're still over there, and it will just serve to antagonize our enemies even more, so I say these embedded journalists need to get the fuck out of there and let us do our job by any means necessary.
- Diversity: A big topic at Trinity lately and a buzzword that makes me sick. What is diversity? Should we fill quotas, do we need to have 12% black people, 12% hispanics, and whatever? The type of people that come to a school come there because of a variety of reasons. I came here because they gave me a good financial aid package. Some others may have come because they want to wear their collars up and fuck their little yuppy boyfriends up the ass. But its not my fault or the school's fault that black folk don't come here at the same rate as whites? We are an expensive, small liberal arts college in New England. Let that sink in. I know Hartford has a lot of minorities, but it is also a shitty city from which a lot of people will not be able to afford to come here. Most of the people here went to prep school, are at least moderately wealthy, and are (at least book-wise) intelligent. Now this description does not fit your average black, or your average white. It fits a mid-upper class white. So thats who goes here, with a few exceptions.
- Tattoos: On a lighter note, I just want to make a plea to anybody stupid enough to make fun of someone's tattoo. Don't. Would you go up to an ugly person and tell them that their face is stupid? Well its not too easy to change a tattoo, so don't tell me you don't like my tattoo. I like my tattoos and thats all that matters. They mean something to me and I don't care what you think of them. So if you don't want to get punched in the nuts or whatever you've got down there, think about it.
The True Face of Mankind
I wrote this in like tenth grade, so I guess it is a decent indication of how I felt at that time, and I think some of you may find some insight in it even now. Or not.
My whole life I have born silent witness to the horrible nature of mankind. Don't get me wrong, not all of life is misery, but the majority of people do not go out of their way to be nice. I don't pretend that I am a nice person, but I do try to be. Every man has a multi-faceted personality, that is basic human nature. No one wears the same face around their friends that they wear around their grandmother. Not even with different friends, people of different ages, or siblings. The point is, relationships are never the same no matter how alike people are. Some secrets are made to never be told. You may think you know everything about a friend, but you don't. And you never will. It is impossible to truly know a person. You must judge your friends on the specific attitude they convey to you. If you feel someone dislikes you, chances are you will dislike them. Sure, there are people who are open and try to be nice to everyone, but you don't know them when they are alone, when they don't have to please anyone. You don't need to impress yourself.
I'm just as guilty as anyone else is, and I may have changed as a person since I've known any one of you. As I get to know people better, more clues to my true personality are dropped. And if my true personality turns you off, fuck you. I refuse to have what I do be dictated to me by anyone else. I am an individual, and plan to remain that way. Any changes I make are strictly for my own personal growth and maturity. I do things to please myself, because I feel you must please yourself as a human being before you can make others feel good about themselves. If you don't like yourself, your attitude toward others will reflect that self-loathing. I try to be honest, but also nice. However, sometimes I will get angry and say my piece. If my opinion bothers you, that's fine. Just don't try to change my opinion. A person's opinions say so much more about who they are than any other thing they say or wear or do.
