I always mean to start out on something simple mainly to bring a topic to light and to have many people have it looked at from possibly another perspective/position, that they may not have considered before.
There are a few topics I try to stay away from and I have already broken one of those rules last blog so why not break another. I really am disgusted and disappointed in the way this country (the US) has allowed the government to run itself into the ground. All of the wrong people have too much power and are making all the wrong decisions and it does not affect them, so they could give a shit. In my opinion, the US has WAY surpassed the need for one man (as in person, calm down ladies) to rule over the country whether they be democratic, or republican. The country has more than 311.5 MILLION people accounted for as of this past Fourth of July, a staggering amount compared to 1776 when the nation was just newly formed and we stood 2.5 million strong. But ONE person to be in charge of 311.5 million....that's just stupid! No wonder the government is so corrupt! I am not all up in arms about immigrants and illegals like most, not because I am one, (I have dual citizenship but I assure you I am legal) I understand WHY people ARE so up in arms about it, don't get me wrong. It's just that WE ARE ALL immigrants; WE ALL come from somewhere, unless you are Native American, than by all means, YOU have the right to be angry, and put off.
The rest of us/you that look down at everyone that is even half a shade darker or has an accent, or looks different, or Yoda forbid (yes, I said Yoda forbid) has different beliefs, you want them out! Why, because they’ve challenged you? Because they’ve forced you to look at the facts right before you? The facts that you are not as entitled as you may think? That at the end of the day, these people are just as entitled to having a family and getting a job and making due with whatever it is that is THEIR dream! Dreams are what keep people afloat, I just had mine crushed, literally ripped out from under me, broken and crushed. I cannot even begin to tell you how that feels other than dreadful, I have not felt that low and like giving up in quite some time, I had just gotten back on course!! If you know me personally, than you know what I have been through, and come out swinging from, that this has never been an option for me, so for me to even admit this and share this is quite a huge thing for me. I don't like to ask for help, I don't know how really, not properly anyway. I don't like to admit I am hurt or hurting, I just know how to carry on and keep it in, and laugh it off. Sometimes I cannot though, enough on that though, that's neither here nor there.
These people whether they are citizens or not have the right to be here, they have the right to have dreams, STOP shitting on them. YOU don't know what the fuck they had to go through to get here, you don't know what conditions they had to escape, what part of their dignity and soul had to be compromised in order to be here. So while you are FREAKING out because someone is taking your place in line that doesn't speak English, or that you have to press 1 in "your own country for English" is fucking grateful that you even HAVE these luxuries. That you CAN press 1 that you CAN choose from other languages, that you CAN have what is supposed to be a democracy. So while it may be a "democracy” which roughly translates into being it meaning it’s streamlined for the rich and powerful, and not for the people it was supposedly created for, the general population. Long since the days that agenda even existed for most, in the positions of power with a voice.
My friend Thom, is brilliant, he can blow the smoke screen off of everything political, and pretty much negate all things that are supposed to "save the day". He has said to jump ship, and I have to think of the reasons I am even hanging on. What were they again? They couldn't be for me, I am miserable here, I could change that I suppose, but why bother? I encourage you all to read his blogs, I’ll find a link it’s brilliant, I promise!
My comedy is the type that makes you think, some is obvious, some not so much, like joke grenades. You get the joke later, and only then can you appreciate the joke. I can at least use the word cunt freely, and not get the looks I get here! Don't get me wrong, I love the states, I grew here up here, I was raised by "immigrants" so I am more apathetic than most. However, the world has multiplied by 124.6 MILLION since the country was founded, that is crazy, and on top of that, we are running out of resources. So what do we do, we borrow, and steal, and take, basically we bully and rape other countries and cannot understand why other countries cannot stand us. I can, but then I have left the country, I get it. To view American's from outside America is quite a sight, we are arrogant, loud, entitled, fat, stupid and worse, than stupid we are ignorant. We argue points that we have no right to argue, JUST to argue them, and that's just sad. Before you go freaking out, I strongly encourage you to look up the definition for patriot. I'll even cut and paste it for you I'd like to call attention to the second listing.
pa·tri·ot
t, -ot or, especially Brit., pa-tree-uh
noun
1.a person who loves, supports, and defends his or hercountry and its interests with devotion.
2.a person who regards himself or herself as a defender,especially of individual rights, against presumed interferenceby the federal government.
3.( initial capital letter ) Military . a U.S. Army antiaircraftmissile with a range of 37 miles (60 k and a 200 pound (90kg) warhead, launched from a tracked vehicle with radar and computer guidance and fire
It clearly says a person that questions the government, yet we all just take it, we all just sit back and take it, because we know no other way. BULLSHIT!! In France, this shit never happens! When the general population is unhappy they take it to the streets, they have the power to literally shut down the country, and we are twice as powerful if not 5 times and we just sit there taking it like we have battered wife syndrome! It’s sad, America used to be the STRONGEST country in the world, and now we owe everyone money, and we are literally a joke. When I travel, I travel on my British passport, for a few reasons, 1) most countries hate the US ( it’s true travel more and you will see) and 2) because I am now embarrassed, Obama has taken a bad situation and made it so much worse. So we can blame the “immigrants” and the like but it’s not that and anyone with half a brain KNOWS THIS! So seriously, you can send me all of the hate mail you’d like but deep down you know I have a point, it’s all of us, we all have to get to one place, a final destination, so for fucksake, why step on someone’s dreams? Why do the I’m better than you game? Because NEWSFLASH!! You’re not!! WE all have to get a long, there is no time for hate, doing so in this life, only makes it all a whole hell of a lot shorter. Before you flip, I love both countries, the UK and the US, I do favour one, THAT is my right, and MY privelidge in EITHER country!!! hahaha!
