Praying for Interstate 35
Okay, I'm coming in to school this morning and as I walked through the main rotunda area I see the news is playing a story about people praying for Interstate 35. Praying. For an Interstate. Yet one more reason that I wonder if we, as a race, do not deserve to be exterminated. Maybe the Islamic Extremists are right. Maybe we do need to be wiped off the face of the Earth. Now, I say this before I go and read what these idiots are praying about. I just started reading. Its even more annoying than what I first thought.
Apparently, Isaiah 35:8 says something about a "Highway of Light" where nothing impure can travel on, the wicked will not be allowed, etc. Well, these retards believe this to be Highway 35 which starts in Duluth, Minnesota and ends on a bridge into Mexico in Laredo, Texas is this highway. There is even a Highway of Light prophet. I mean, come on people, what the fuck are you thinking? Did mommy drop you on the head one too many times? Now, I can understand that you don't want pornography being displayed close to the highways. You don't want them near your schools and churches or anywhere that kids might be able to see them. I understand all that. But making up "unnamed German prophets" and talking how God downloaded information to you? In the immortal words of Monty Python, "You're a loony!"
I, also, understand that you want to blame the influence of gay bars, shops dealing in pornographic materials, abortion clinics, as well as the ever present drugs, alcohol and prostitution instead of your bad parenting on why the world is the way it is. Really, I understand. Instead of staying home and maybe instilling some good Christian values in your children, you are off having 24-hour prayer rituals, making signs and protesting in front of shops and bars that would, otherwise, not have such GREAT advertising, and do everything you can to save your children's souls from evil... unless that action was to sit down and carry on a conversation with little Johnny and Jane. Maybe teach them better morals than to run off and get pregnant and need one of those abortion clinics. Maybe let them explore their sexuality in a healthy way instead of making it bad to touch themselves or see how beautiful the human body can be. Maybe allow them to grow used to the appearance of the naked human body so that, when they get older, it takes more than the sight of a nude person to get them turned on which, in turn, begins to take away from the pornographic industries main source of income... pictures of naked people. Maybe show them the love and affection they need so that they don't turn away from your religion and get into drugs, drinking and selling their bodies. And God forbid that you should accept if Johnny falls in love with Jack or Jane falls in love with Mary! I mean, it is WRONG for people to be in love, right? Because love is NOT what we need more of in the world! What we need is less acceptance for our fellow man, less love, less light and more rules and regulations, more hate and fear. It should only be love between a man and a woman, right? We won't go into how much extra-curricular love and extra-marital affairs takes place amongst the congregations of churches because when you throw that many people together, you are going to meet interesting people. We REALLY don't want two human beings to fall in love and be accepted by their community, friends and family and to share their lives together. You know, maybe it all started when you assholes allowed cross-cultural, cross-theological, cross-race, and cross-town marriages to start taking place. Is that what is next? You start controlling, again, who people can marry? Johnny can't marry Jane because Johnny is white and Jane is black? Johnny is a Baptist and Jane is a Catholic? Johnny is English and Jane is German? Johnny is middle-lower class and Jane is upper-middle class? Johnny's hair and eyes are brown and everyone knows that the master race needs to be blonde haired and blue eyed like Jane? Seig Heil!
Why in the name of all that is holy can't people concentrate on what is REALLY important? Why can't people concentrate on their own families and helping out their neighbors? That is one of the biggest things I think that we are missing in our communities today... A SENSE OF COMMUNITY. You have Catholics living next to Baptist living next to Methodists living next to Pagans and none of them says a word to each other. Even during my childhood I remember having block parties where everyone in the neighborhood came out and had a good time. You got to know your neighbors. Neighbors would come over for special dinners or had cook-outs together. A neighbor would be sick so dad or one of us boys would mow their grass for them. A new baby in the neighborhood and people showed up to see the new joy and brought food so the new mom didn't have to cook for those first couple of days. That is what community is all about. These days, families have become so insular and self-contained that its no wonder that there are so many problems in the world. Everything kids learn are from the video games, TV and internet. They are not learning and real problem solving skills from dealing with other kids. Remember the days when you would be outside playing with the neighborhood kids and then there was a problem. You ran home and told your mom and dad about it and they told you how to deal with it or called Robbie's parents and then Robbie's parents told Robbie and your parents told you how to handle it. It usually ended with you and Robbie shaking hands and going off to play again. These days, Johnny is playing with Tommy from acrossed the country and they are only interested in "owning" the other players in the game. Owning is usually done with a high calibre, high powered, high rate of fire weapon. Is it any wonder that kids are solving their problems at school with guns, now?
Now, don't get me wrong. I don't think anything bad about these games. I think that they are great. I think the problem falls back to parenting. Mom and Dad are too busy with their careers to be bothered to raise their kids. They make more and more money and toys have taken the place of parenting. Its like the parents feel guilty for leaving their kids for so long so they buy them toys take their places. So, kids today are being raised by X-box, PS2, TV, and PC games and chat rooms. They are presented with crap like Hannah Montana and some of these other programs that are more concerned with images and sexiness and dating and stuff that they shouldn't even be having to face, yet. Parents wonder what is making their kids grow up so fast... the answer is that the parent is making it happen. I can't tell you the number of times I hear parents in stores telling their kids "Act your age." The kid is 5 freaking years old and wanting to play with toys in the store. THE KID IS ACTING HIS AGE, dumbass. Or the other one that gets to me is a parent hollering "GROW UP!" at their little kid and then complainging when little Sally gets pregnant at 14. Guess what, fucktard, you got your wish!
You know, I complain about all this but I don't think it will ever get any better. Everyone has their excuses. I'm too busy... I'm too tired... I'm too STUPID to be a parent. Of course, I say all this and have no children of my own. I have always wanted kids but, coming from my background, I have had a hard time finding the right lady. Its taken a while but I think I have, finally, found her. I know that I think she will be a great mom to our kids. I think I will be a GREAT dad. I am looking forward to helping them with their homework, taking them to practices and games and being that parent that sits in the stands and cheers for my kid. I want to be the parent that builds forts and club houses for the neighborhood kids to play in. I want to be the dad that can have tea parties with my daughter and Mr. Bear and Ms. Kitty. I want to be a father that takes their kids sledding and biking and hiking and camping and.... well, I guess you get the picture. I've always wanted to be a dad. I think I'm finally ready.
