oh, you criminal -- society!
i certainly do loves me some good pre-anthropology conversation. we got into it (a compelling discussion, not some sort of argument) on society this morning, and i was kind of surprised that my professor actually agrees with me. perhaps not in these exact words, but the basic concept. this is something i've been saying for years now...

our society -- and my understanding based on conversations i've had with international friends is that this is global society where i had initially thought it was specifically the united states -- not only allows and perpetuates, but encourages and even rewards stupidity. this is a serious problem.

personally, i think we need to get rid of any and all safety regulations that should be common sense. anyone who doesn't know enough about what it means when something is hot to not iron her clothes on her body deserves to get burned in the process. these people also don't deserve to sue mcdonalds for giving them the luxury of hot coffee. (and yes, it is a luxury -- both hot drinks and coffee.) i'd go so far as to say that we shouldn't pity some bitch who gets raped because she's wearing a micro mini-skirt and a tit-bearing crop top. but even i admit that's pushing it.

that's not to say that legitimate accidents or attacks should not be acknowledged. i don't think we should blame any woman for being raped, but especially not one who wasn't walking the streets looking like a hooker in the first place.

okay, that's a bad example. well there's also my uncle. he actually had a lidless cup of hot coffee more or less thrown into his lap in a drive through. alright, it would be one thing if he had been tarded, and it would have been an accident if he had spilled it himself. but this drive through bitch caused damage to the seat of his car, not to mention his crotch. that kind of insolence is unacceptable. and my uncle was unable to sue, by the way. and that is the whole problem.

we reward stupid people with settlements and government aid. at the same time, we cheat and belittle injured persons, or in general anyone who has a legitimate complaint. mcdonalds made you fat? go ahead, have a lawsuit. it was their high calorie food that made you morbidly obese, not your lack of both judgment and self discipline. someone threw coffee at your crotch? bullshit. too bad for you. you get nothing but hospital bills.

what's that? you're a single mother with seven kids and you don't want to work? oh, you're on drugs, you say? alcoholic? neglectful? my god, you really do need these food stamps that you will sell in front of the liquor store in order to buy alcohol/drugs. alright, so maybe there are a few people on welfare or other government aid who actually need/deserve it. i'd be willing to bet there aren't many.

when i own the world, this thing will be more closely monitored. and stupid people will be forced into slavery or made to fight each other to the death for my amusement. gladiator style.

maybe i am just a morbid, cynical douchebag.

again, i'm impressed with how appropriate my song is for this entry.

i am the chosen, next in line
sent to slaughter all mankind
