A bit of Sagely Advice: Hate is bad! duh.

You would think that by this time our society would have progressed beyond the need for sexism, racism, bigotry, hate, etc. But alas, we seem stuck in a neverending spiral of self-destruction.

Why do we do this?
- Misinformation? Perhaps.
- Upbringing? Possibly.
- Personal Experience? Doubtful.

So lets examine what is the science behind this.
Lets start out with one, What is Racism?
Hating an entire group of people based simply on their Race.
How might someone come to be "racist"?
Probably due to negative stereotypes.
What is a stereotype?
A generalization of an entire group based on the characteristics of some(or maybe even none).

Now to the interesting part: Deciding whether or not stereotypes are a bad thing.
If they are wrong and negative, then they are most certainly bad. But not all stereotypes are bad, for instance: I bet you won't eat at a Popeyes if you don't see atleast one black person working in the kitchen ( I won't! ). Are black people something that has been scientifically proven to be a necessity at Popeyes? No, but I did try Popeyes once with no visible black people and I got food poisoning. So this stereotype is more or less a "safe bet issue". So yes some stereotypes are ok, and can save lives.

What I can't deduce is why people take stereotypes so far as to start hating an entire group!
Just doesn't make sense!
All people need to learn to be proud of who they are and what they are without feeling the need to destroy all others in their wake.
Maybe my words will change something... More than likely though, no one will read this, but I certainly hope someday there will be no hate.
Till then, can we at least attempt to keep flammable objects away from people who can't spell flammable. I have a feeling that couldn't hurt the situation.

Total and Complete Brain Flatulence.

I am at a loss of what to write.
I never thought that my brain would actually shut down.
Perhaps I have just fizzled out, but I'm pretty sure it has more to do with this old fart I've been debating with on Facebook.
What started as something seemingly obvious as whether or not human-beings should be treated as such.

Simple right?

Why must rednecks crusade against something at least once every generation?
-"Gotta keep them slaves where they are!"
-"Gotta keep them micks out of the workplace!"
-"Gotta keep them *racial slur not of my race* out of our schools!"
-"Gotta keep them *racial slur not of my race* from voting!"
-"Gotta keep them *racial slur not of my race* from holding office!
-"Gotta keep them women from voting!"
-"Gotta keep them women in the kitchen!"
- etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

One would think after losing so god-damn many times they would give up, but my hat is off to their resilience.

Eventually they will lose the crusade against the "faggots" and have to move on to the next minority.
But really who is next? They really have nowhere to go after this, that's why I think they want to hang on to this for all they can get.

But I thought of a good stress reliever, GIMP!




I feel better :)
