1. The recent gun laws of New York state

   If you haven't read the new gun laws of New York, then I suggest you do. I provide you with links:

The problem with trying to impose new laws on citizens' rights is that the majority of these new laws was made primarily out of fear. Yes, the shootings in Connecticut at that school were terrible and truly quite saddening, but it doesn't mean we should give in to our fears and agree for even tighter restrictions. You can't ban guns even more than they already are. People will protest, while others might even try to get guns from the black market. The NRA, as usual, is completely against this bill that New York passed, and even several gun manufacturers, including Glock and Smith & Wesson, are against this primarily because of the stipulation that no citizen in the state can carry more than seven bullets in a clip. In my opinion, this new set of gun laws was formed from for fear, nothing else. That's what happens to people who are driven by fear, they'll do anything possible to make themselves and others more secure.

Even further tightening the noose on our rights.


2. Governments, defense forces, and other groups constantly saying "safe" and "secure"

What's with this brainwashing? There isn't a single commercial or speech from any military, government, or news agency I haven't heard that doesn't mention the word "safe", "secure", or"security" even once. For example, "With these new protection laws we're putting into effect, lives will be saved and people will be more secure."
Or, "We make these weapons to become more secure and to further increase our defense capabilities."
Doesn't it seem a little choreographed? Yes, there are some areas where the words would make sense, like new safety features in a weapon to prevent accidental fire or misfire, but the majority of times, I believe the words are just said to make us feel better. Why with the lies? You want us to feel safer and more secure? Then do something about it. Don't just throw words around.


3. Accusing someone out of anger

We humans are dualistic in nature. By that, I mean we have two sides of our psyche, the rational and the emotional. And unfortunately, and this is my opinion, we seem to let our emotional side get more control than the rational. The emotional side is what allows us to feel, to enjoy, to love, to do all those things. But it can also make us feel sad, depressed, or angry. And it's the angry side that gets us raging at someone who we "think" was at fault for something they might not've done. That would include accusing a police officer for being unfair, dissing somebody because they "hurt us", or accusing someone of being this or that. It's all the same, though: no proof, no thinking, just random shouts, accusations, and frothing anger till we cool down.



4. Satanist church

A while back I was reading about the Church of Satan. What I read was a bit creepy. They seem to exemplify narcissism and worldly, materialistic values extremely. Also, who on earth worships the devil? You want your soul to go to Hell? And just for the record, I'm not saying this from a Christian perspective, since I don't belong to any church. I'm saying this from a spiritual perspective. You really want to be egocentric, narcissistic, materialistic to an extreme? Well, it's what you want. Though I won't get it. Ever.


5. Iraq War, the so-called "war against terrorism"

What....was....the....POINT....of this war? Really? What was it? Tell me.

To bring down Saddam Hussein and his so-called "Weapons of Mass Destruction?" News flash: he had a very weak military and we found NO evidence of WMDs anywhere in Iraq, not even enough to deem him a threat!

To fight against terrorism? What terrorism? There weren't any extremists there in Iraq, just low-tech soldiers that didn't put up much of a fight.

To free the Iraqi people? Free them from what? A despot? Though that's justified, but JUST barely. And then afterwards, we rule them over? Not to mention those early years spawned a wave of Middle Eastern xenophobia, especially here in the US?

To prolong a war that was supposed to be "quick" and "we'd be out in a few months or a year?" News flash: we didn't! We stayed for more than ten years!

Or..........was it to just secure the many oil reserves Iraq had for our greedy hands? In my opinion, THAT'S what the real reason was for. Why 9/11 occurred and others died in Iraq: all to get the oil that was there and just to secure.....something which I or almost no one knows about. The above reasons were all lies. We weren't there to protect the freedom of America, to destroy WMDs, or to liberate the people. We were there to secure "black gold". No more, no less. I'm ashamed.


6. McDonalds' food. Not really "tasty."

As a kid, I was duped by the many lies McDonald's put in their food. I was a fan of Ronald McDonald and his posse. Back then, I used to love the Sausage McMuffin. And the fries. And the hashbrowns. And the chicken nuggets. But now that I'm older and more aware, I think back to how duped I was. The food of McDonald's, now that I eat it, is disgusting and with no flavor, just fattening. It's why I gave it up. I haven't eaten McDonald's for several years now. And since I saw the film Super Size Me, that got me to thinking, "Oh, that ain't good." So, I no longer eat McDonald's food, though I still eat other junk food. So really, what's with all the franchising for kids? The food's delicious? The toys are fun? It's all a good kid place and family fun place to eat in? It's none of those things, sadly. The food's no longer good, the toys break easily, and it's all propaganda. Sorry, that's how I feel about McDonald's. To hell with you, Ronald McDonald!


7. Conspiracy theory

Oy. I have my mom to thank for exposing me to this. Conspiracy theory, in my opinion, is all negative, nothing positive. It is ceaseless with countless whacked-out secrets, though I don't condemn all of it as a bunch of nonsense, make-believe crap. My mom got hooked onto this and brought me and my brother along for the ride. Like her, my brother has also become a big believer of conspiracy theory. And I've heard a lot of theories that I consider to be far-fetched, such as the whole universe being a big hologram, nanites already in our bodies, Obama as a shapeshifting alien, secret technology that doesn't exist yet, alien colonization, etc. Sadly, some of these theories I do believe are real. They would include microchipping humans, HAARP resonance technology, weather control and sickness outbreaks via chemical trails, or chemtrails, in the sky, and manipulation of the masses. So for me, conspiracy theory is a love-hate, yes-no kind of deal, true but also untrue.


8. Neo-Nazism


It's bad enough that Nazism came to be and started a second world war that claimed the lives of millions of innocents. It's bad enough that its ideals of human "perfection" proved to be nothing more but perversions and crap that sparked a wave of rabid militarism, xenophobia, and racism. But this is over the line. Neo-Nazis venerating Adolf Hitler? Wanting to restore Nazism? The gist of this eludes me. Why would you want to admire a monster who sent so many to their deaths and who he himself was a complete nutjob? Neo-Nazis truly are blind fools. They even decry that the Holocaust ever happened and revere the monsters of Nazism. Why do this? I can't understand it.


9. Doomsday cults

Why get swept up in the belief that the world as we know it will end? If it's going to end, it's going to end. Accept it and live on. But don't try and make it a fetish or a creed to follow. The unfortunate thing is that several believe in it so much that they'll do anything to make themselves rich or just to worship the last days of Earth in sometimes completely outrageous methods. But the reason why I don't like doomsday cults is the violence they sometimes inflict when their "judgment day" is near. For example, the 1995 sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo subway by the cult Aum Shinrikyo was evil. And there are some doomsday cults that willingly commit suicide when the apocalypse approaches. That would include the Order of the Solar Temple, whose entire congregation killed themselves, and the Heaven's Gate group, who did the same thing. In the end, though, when the doomsday date comes and goes and we're still here happens, what do these fanatics get?

The answer is nothing. Nothing.



10. The real reason why 9/11 happened....and how the Twin Towers really fell (in my belief)

9/11 was a real tragedy, of that I have no doubt whatsoever. But what I don't buy is how the twin towers fell or why it happened. Something tells me that 9/11 was a DELIBERATE occurence. For one, the mainstream theory is that the twin towers fell when one plane each collided with them causing the towers to fall down. But there are many scientists and others who say that's not possible and I agree with them. The Twin Towers would still be structurally sound if a plane struck them from a lateral vector (horizontal path). The main secondary reasoning behind their falling (and I wholly agree with them) is that both towers were actually undermined. In other words, I think the twin towers secretly had their foundations destroyed by dynamite so that the towers could then fall on their own. The planes were just a show, a distraction for the masses. But then, what was the reason behind this? Why do it? The answer, I think: to start the Iraq War for petty reasons, the main one being to secure the country's oil for our own goals. That's why I think 9/11 happened, not as a tragedy, but as a plot to begin a war.
