Think for Yourself

Why is it important to think for yourself? Why is it important to question authority? It’s important to think for yourself because you are the only person you can trust will be honest with you. You question authority because their authority is only an illusion and they need to be watched no matter how much you trust them.

Think for yourself

If you don’t think for yourself, who will? Who will be your voice? Who will make sure that you are getting what you need and want? No matter what any one else says, no matter how many times they have been honest with you, no matter how much they have to lose with being dishonest with you… they cannot be trusted as much as you can trust yourself. You will know when you are lying (at least I hope so), and you will know when you are telling the truth (I also hope so). Thinking for yourself doesn’t mean that you should never listen to anyone else, it just means that you just don’t take what someone merely asserts is true as the truth. Does this mean that you don’t respect their opinion? Not in itself. Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. But you don’t have to do or just believe in what ever other people tell you in order to respect their opinion.

To respect someones opinion do this: listen to what they say, use knowledge to determine how true the statement might be then make a decision about how you will react to the statement. If you do these three things then you are respecting what they have to say while still respecting yourself. There is no one else in the world more qualified to make judgments for yourself than you.

Question authority

Now I know it seems like it’s some kind of wish for anarchy to want people to question authority. That’s what people who are trying to gain authority want you to think. Merely questioning someone is not asking for anarchy, it’s making sure they are doing what their position requires of them and no more or less. It should never be considered a bad thing to question authority, it should always be perceived as a good thing. Well you can go too far and actually make questioning authority a bad thing. Like with the mentally deficient town hall meeting crashers. They loudly ask to be heard and ask questions laced with the venom of ignorance a thousand times more potent than a Bill O’ Reilly or Sean Hannity statement… then not even listen to the answer. What the fuck?

Retard: Listen to me!

Speaker: Ok, what is your question?

Retard: Why are you trying to destroy America by trying to force all men to have pineapples for penises?

Speaker: That is insane…

Retard: Oh BS! And what about the growing Astronaut infestation?!?!

Speaker: What are you ta…

Retard: Oh more lies! What about the poison contrails, watermelon patch migration, twin tower zeppelin conspiracy, lunar landing…

Questioning authority and not listening to their answer does no one any good and makes you look like an idiot. “Der, emma ask a queue stun, an not list in to teh ants sir! ’cause it merks may lookr smert n patrick attic!”

When you question authority, listen to the answer. Then you can determine whether their response is worth anything. But questioning authority while already deciding that no matter what they say is going to be bullshit usually means that you are taking someone elses authority without questioning it. There is a huge difference between questioning authority and ignoring authority. They are the opposite and you should stay away from anyone that attempts to explain that questioning and ignoring authority are similar or even worse: the same. Questioning leads to order while ignoring leads to chaos.

One of the worst things you can do, is to question one authority but not another. Taking sides if you will. This will always lead to you becoming an automotron, sheep, drone follower. Why? Lets take a look see: You will just take whatever your favourite authority has to say while constantly questioning the their opponents. This leads to you just believing in what your side says while disbelieving in what ever the other side says. So you absolutely need to question all authority, not just the ones that you think you can’t trust. The authority you think you can trust is the authority that is the biggest threat, because fewer people will question that authority.

So wake up you mentally shackled ass hats, because you aren’t just hurting yourselves, you are hurting all of us. Question what anyone tells you not just who you perceive to be the other side.

   American Pledge or Mien Fuhrer?

We have all heard that the U.S. was founded on religion. The question is: what is wrong with the people that keep saying it? Well, I can’t answer that, but I will show why each of the major reasons they give for this ignorant belief are very wrong. A belief by the way, that could be corrected by them spending as little as five minutes researching each subject.

Swearing on the Bible

If the country isn’t based on religion, why do people have to swear on the bible for public office or in court? The short answer is: they don’t. It’s not anywhere in the U.S. Constitution or any kind of law. In fact the wording in the U.S. Constitution suggests that religious crap had been intentionally left out. Like the part about no kind of religious test for any kind of public office. So what started the whole swearing on the bible? I don’t know and I don’t give a shit. The point is, people make it seem like it’s required merely by acting like you need to do it. Also by being offended that you don’t want to do it. Like me choosing not swear on some silly, childrens, fairy tale book some how hurts them.

The founding fathers were religious

Wow. Really? You think that religious people can only make religiously oriented things? So if a Christian makes a cheeseburger with bacon, then that is not just a bacon-cheeseburger, but a religious bacon-cheeseburger. Because if the person making the cheeseburger is a Christian, then it must be a Christian cheeseburger. Here’s one for ya, what if an atheist made a Bible? Would the Bible not be religious because an atheist made it? It has the same words as Bibles made by Christians. How could you tell if your Bible wasn’t made by an atheist?

But seriously, the founding fathers knew what they were doing, when they made the country a secular country. You see, the founding fathers came from a magical country where religion had control over the government and the people. So because the founding fathers saw first hand how bad a nation is when religion is in control, they decided to not let religion get in the way of a free nation.

“Under God” is in the pledge of allegiance

For some reason people have the incorrect idea that the pledge of allegiance not only was created when the country was formed, but also that it included “under God” when it was written. Well since the pledge of allegiance was written in 1892 and the “under God” part was added in 1954… I guess that means that the country was founded on religion.

Hey, wake up you retards. Jesus fucking Christ on a stick (new wrapped in bacon flavour now available). Seriously, it would take you 20 minutes to drive to a library, look a book up on their computers, find it, and read about the history of the pledge of allegiance. Or you could sit here and look it up on teh enter tubes.

“Under God” in the pledge is not proof that the country was founded on religion, it’s proof that a huge bag of religious douches, want to drive our country into the ground and create a biased, religious, hate filled, fearful, ignorant and obedient country. Well, fuck obedience. Always think for yourself and question authority.

“In God We Trust” is printed on our money

The words “In God We Trust” was not originally on our money. It started after the American Civil war on a 2 penny piece. Because some asshole thought that if we had a constant reminder on our money that we should trust in God, that things like the American Civil War won’t happen again. Yes, that makes sense. Because we didn’t have something about God on our money, it resulted in a civil war.

It is stupid to think that there were no religious people on one side of the civil war. Come on, they were all Americans. The south wanted to be free of the United States oppressive slavery abolishing ways and even went as far as having their own president. The South was upset because the federal government was trying to take away their right to take away other peoples rights. God fearing jerks were on both sides of the battle, so I don’t see how printing some inane God message on our money would have prevented the war.

What Does it Matter?

So in closing, the United States of America was not founded on religion, but arrogant, selfish, scared religious nutters are turning it into a religious nation. Why does this matter? It doesn’t. Even if the country was founded on a religion, it doesn’t mean that that is the way it should be. If the U.S. Government weren’t secular, I would be fighting to make it that way, just as I fight to prevent it from becoming religious and to remove the religious bullshit that ignorant religious ass hats snaked in.

How can a country proclaim “freedom for all” while trying to create a religiously biased government? So do you like freedom? I hope you do, because no matter if you believe in God or not, the Government needs to remain secular to protect us all.

C’mon people, you’re smarter than this. Why is it so much cooler to see a nude pic of a dead chick? She dies and then you wanna see her nekkid? what the hell? You necrophiliac freaks! doesn’t it strike you as odd that you want to see someone who was murdered and dumped in a trash bin sans clothes?

First off, don’t let your wife see you searching for playboy models because she’ll get jealous but on top of that don’t go searching for things that don’t exist. It’s like the garden of Eden, it’s simply a fairy tale (or tail in this case). But shouldn’t you be searching for why this poor sexy blond was murdered? I didn’t think her swimsuit pictures were that bad…

But maybe this Ryan Jenkins reality show guy got his manhood challenged by an attractive girl and couldn’t handle that she didn’t want him or something… anyway the fact that he’s not returning calls, he’s possibly on the run to Canada and probably still has her teeth and fingers in the car… what the hell is wrong with whoever did this? teeth and fingers? fucking sick.

The moral of this story, stop looking for nude pics of Jasmine and try to feel sorry for her family.

Poor Richard.

What if we discovered life on another planet or life from another planet visited us? This question has been answered many times in science fiction stories, but do these stories fully explain how people will really react?

What if these aliens had a form that is similar to artists depictions of angels? Or demons? What if they looked exactly like us? I like these questions, but for the sake of this post, I will say that they look relatively close to us. Maybe purple skin, no hair and completely white eyes.

I think that there will be several different responses from various groups. In this post I will focus on how some of these responses will be negative.

Now in our world there are several religious groups that say that God may have created life on other planets, but God favours us. Now think about that for a while. Now think about Nazi’s, white supremacists and just about any racist. If an alien life form visited us, would these groups welcome them as brothers? Would they welcome the aliens in peace? Not likely. After all, God gave us dominion over all of Gods creations.

What about bible literalists? You know, the people that believe that the bible should be taken literally. Now these people might just come up with all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories about how the aliens aren’t real. You know, like the moon landing.

So the question I really want to ask is: are we as humans, really ready to be meeting alien life from other planets? I don’t think we are. Hell, a lot humans can’t even get past an ancient book that tells us that we are special in the universe because it was all created for us alone.

Now if you’re thinking what the fuck? then you’re probably right, what the fuck indeed. There’s no way we would ever want peace! That’s for pansies, why have peace when you can start a war and fight on false pretenses without recourse? it’s fuckin’ awesome! We get to blow the shit outta those middle eastern countries for no good reason. I wanna find the guy who’s idea it was to spend a trillion dollars on boom sticks and boom boom balls and give him a big gay hug.

When we went to Iraq I wasn’t thinking “hey do they really pose any kind of threat?” oh no, I was thinking man this is an awesome way to practice getting our asses kicked by a bunch of bat-shit crazy fuckhead god loving fanatical psycho’s just like the republican party of which I’m a card and gun carrying member. It’s awesome we get to scare the living shit outta misinformed people by telling them that good ‘ol Saddam is gonna butt rape your dog unless we go to war and kill ‘em or we could tell them that these death panels exist and they’ll decide how you die but we’ll send these crazy mindless shouting drones into town hall meetings ’cause they wanna be on T.V. they’re the crazy ones, we just feed ‘em the bullshit and they turn it into political fucking gold and the cycle of fear just repeats, it’s friggin’ awesome.

Man, I tell ya when we start this next war over oil and claim that it’s for patriotism it’s gonna freakin’ rock, but first we gotta get this Kenyan communist Nazi outta the white house ’cause he’s tryin’ to help people get better health care. boy is that fucked. We need people to be in poor health so they’re constantly in debt and working otherwise us rich bastards couldn’t sit back and enjoy our ample wallet sizes — we’d have to actually compete for things like health care if there were some kinda regulation or even a public option. But what we’ll do is say to the people that it’s too crappy to work and it’ll cost gazillions of dollars, but then we’ll tell congress that it’ll be too good for companies to compete and no one will be the wiser. Man that Obama guy scares the crap outta our racist constituency so much that we’ve got a plan to oust him in the next election that’s three years from now I dunno how that’s gonna work because we don’t have too much experience planning that far out, we usually go with our gut.

The bottom line is that we’ve gotta do something otherwise we’re not gonna be able to keep increasing the income of the rich while stifling the poor and we all know how that ends when people are working for fair wages and are able to supply food and housing for their kids without having to work two to three jobs while we the rich work none, that’s why we need to take over the congress again so we can assure all the rich assholes that they’re not gonna have to be even remotely equal to other people… man that gives me the shivers just thinking about it — equality… i don’t think that’s what god intended.

Joe ‘the bastard’ richfuck republican

Like one of our previous posts the end of life planning section of the health care bill is under fire from the right wing like Sarah Palin has called it a “death panel”. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, instead what is being proposed is entirely logical and absolutely should be included in the final bill.

What is the problem with your doctor talking about the planning of your end of life care? If anyone should be talking about it it should be you and your doctor as well as with your lawyer but that’s another issue. Keeping a plan for your end of life care could keep you from being put on a ventilator when there is little to no chance of your recovering and you’ll just spend the last days of your life feeling like you’re choking with your hands tied down, just as I could imagine Hell.

If you are opposed to this, consider this: the cost savings as well as the humane death of people would be much better than without a plan. With a plan you could put such a thing as a do not resuscitate order if you don’t want to be brought back. Also if you get to be 90+ and get pneumonia you could die peacefully in days in your sleep or you could die as previously mentioned on a ventilator and in complete discomfort.

You shouldn’t buy into the right wing shit, they don’t have your best interests at heart and here’s why: the reason republicans don’t want end of life plans is because their constituency would benefit and profit from it because they would perform more operations which helps make their boat payments. You remember the good old days when hospitals were non-profit? I don’t I wish they would make health care something for people who cared about people and not a profiteering venture for sadistic personalities.

In conclusion why don’t you listen to the people who have your best interests at heart? Any smart person already has a living will, a last will and testament as well as an end of life care plan. But most people don’t have the incentive to do it and most who do won’t until it is evident that they are going to die which may be too late. This is a good idea and will save the money and integrity of all people involved. We should all agree to do the most good even if it costs people like me who have perfectly good health care insurance to help people who don’t.

You all I’m sure remember the bush dodging the flying shoe incident, this episode starts with a song about it and it’s freakin’ awesome!

GeologicPodcast95-Dec18-08

That is assuming that you don’t already listen to Geologic podcast already… If it’s any incentive — pants are optional.

Originally the health care bill did not have anything remotely like what Sarah Palin referred to as a **duh duh DUHH** death panel, but now that crazy right wing republicans have brought it up the liberals are going to consider putting it in the bill and here’s why:

The death panel would consider saving money by euthanizing retards, and by this I don’t mean handicapped people who could participate in the special Olympics but people who think that the sun revolves around the earth, or that think that Obama was born in Kenya, those kind of retards.  And in doing so the violence rate would go down because we all know that those crazy retards are usually gun totin’ (their word) republicans who would rather start a war, spend a trillion on things that go boom and send body parts flying than spend about half that to save the lives of our poorest fellow citizens, Fucking retards.

We could also kill off old people because they annoy the hell out of us for many reasons, among them being how they drive (turn your left blinker off grandpa!), they’re usually senile and as such probably republican because they don’t remember that they had a brain to think with. They’re usually self righteous and think that they know everything ( like teenagers with diapers and a retirement check). They tend to be gay about president Reagan to an extent a flaming fag couldn’t understand.

We could also get rid of annoying proselyting evangelistic christians MAN they’re annoying! holy shit are these guys crazy in the cranium! I’d love to talk to a Scientologist though, what batshit crazy fuckheads they are. Maybe instead of sending these nut bags to death we could just send them to institutions or even North Korea I hear they like crazy people there.

Finally we could use death panels to get rid of people who would burn themselves with coffee and sue McDonalds for giving them what they asked for. Or use them for taking care of corrupt politicians, or maybe politicians who fight against gay marriage to go suck cock in some random bathroom. Or for idiots who yell like a drunk hick in town hall meetings, well the republican party is all drunk hicks who like getting done or doing in the ass, so I guess that could’ve gone without saying.

Billy “lefty” Bob

Is it just me or is it odd that atheists are more Christ-like than Christians? Imagine all the Christian values like love your neighbor, do unto others, judge not, let he without sin cast the first stone, be not afraid and others — now tell me that Christians are the sane ones. Okay now with a straight face tell me that they’re the sane ones. If you can do this then I probably wouldn’t recommend that you read on because I’m going to piss your Christian conservative ass off.

We won’t go into the logical thinking process on this one, I’ll save that for later, but we should consider Christ-like values. We’ll start with love your neighbor:

Christian’s tend to love their neighbors that go to church with them and are subjugated to the same idiotic and Stalinist control-everything-you-do dogma because they’re suffering together through their blinded faith in a God that loves them yet has had no effect whatsoever in their life for the better, I suppose it’s tough love. Christians love their neighbors children but I suppose you could change love to bugger. They love their neighbors boats, RV’s and cars but such covetousness isn’t against any of the commandments that they’d care to follow, its out the window like thou shalt not commit adultery, just ask your republican christian Jesus freak governmental representative.

Atheists however tend to be more wary and careful when conducting their life because there are no second chances for them, they can’t sin today and repent tomorrow. To them life is just one shot and then oblivion. Kinda gives you a motive to do good — so though they don’t believe in an immortal soul they believe that through history they may become immortal. While Atheists want to help people around the world (you know neighbors on the planetary scale) Christians wouldn’t want to help their next door neighbor who lost his job and with it his health care because they feel that anything had should have been worked for. Also atheists are logical thinkers, skeptics and intellectuals (not all but a lot) and because of this they often don’t follow their gut or loins but often will weigh the consequences of actions BEFORE acting because repentance does not ever really erase the sin. All the prayers in the world can never un-sodomize after priests have their way with the choir boys.

That’s all for now, next we talk about “let he without sin cast the first stone” and see how Atheists match up to “Christians” or will probably dominate in the world of real values and lack in the dogmatic.

Logos.

With all these thoughtless tools in town hall meetings deliberately disrupting the actual debate, all the online articles distorting what the bill says and assholes in nationally syndicated shows misinforming millions of people, it is difficult to see the actual problems and benefits with the health care bill.

They say things that any rational person would be against: “there will be a death committee that will euthanize people,” “that government will be able to just come into your home whenever they want,” “really sick people will die waiting for care” or other insane things. Of course people are going to be against some kind of panel that decides who lives and who dies (despite that donor committees exist that will decide who is eligible for a donated body part), because that can be seen as wrong. The problem is not that there are people who want a death panel, the problem is that it’s not in the bill. It’s not that there are people for the Government being able to invade your privacy against your will, it’s that it’s not in the bill. I don’t think I need to go on with examples.

I could go around saying that the bill will allow the government to give people pills that turn their penis’ into a pineapple. Of course people will be against that, but since it’s not in the bill, it doesn’t mean that people are against the bill. So why bring up an opposition against a fictional health care bill? Because they are against the real health care bill but lack the faculties necessary to provide a reasonable argument. So people that have read the bill (and are for or against it), should be going, “what the hell are you talking about?”

What does this tactic do to help their opposition to the real health care bill? It doesn’t. What it does is make them look like crazy idiots. It’s not like there aren’t enough reasonable issues about the health care bill that they could argue against. Of course those reasons aren’t emotional or easy enough to be against. I mean how can they get people on their side when they say that, “not every one deserves to receive medical help. And besides, if they can’t afford medical insurance, they deserve to die.” Who would be for that? That is why they bring up this fictional health care bill… oh come on, ok here: it’s because they are irrationally afraid of it and want other people to also be afraid of it too so that it doesn’t pass so they no longer have to be afraid of it. Unfortunately, by being crazy or just dishonest, they are only making it easier for the health care bill to pass.
