Big Trucks = Undersized copulatory organ

Is this true? I believe it to be true. Every day I see guys (particularly white males) in their lifted ford trucks driving faster than the speed limit. I also see a lot of lame rice rockets too; I understand the whole rice rocket thing perfectly. Supped up Civics are due to a low self-esteem and it is an affordable car to modify. I mean you don’t see too many jaguars or Mercedes with spoilers the size of an airplane wing on them do you? .

Personally I have very little respect for these types of people along with guys that drive lifted trucks. Car modification is the same as any form of modification; it’s obvious why people with little self-respect are into body modification. It’s a way to change into something, due to fear of not conforming to society.

In the past I have always struggled trying to fit in. When I was 12 I got into the whole goth/punk scene looking for somewhere to fit in. Human nature is an amazing thing. We all long for love, wherever it may be. Some of us long for true love because it has been programmed in us since the first time we turned on the television. Fairytale fantasies have never really moved me as far a love stories. It’s the stories about two people struggling, abuse, constant fighting, loneliness and fear where at the end they realize that is what love is really about. These are the stories that reflect how we truly live our lives.

Many people waste most of their life in a dream world; fantasizing about the perfect mate, money, gifts, jewelry, and all kinds of superficial things. This is very common in the United States do to American work ethics and some other social factors. In the United States we believe that if we work hard we will become successful in life. If we don’t become extremely wealthy then we didn’t work hard enough. This is a major misconception and is one reason the United States is not as democratic as it should be. The American people are very mislead. If you look back at the civil war you will notice many poor people that didn’t own slaves and never could, yet still they fought with all their heart for the confederate army. Why is this? Because they believed that maybe one day they would be able to own slaves, or if not then maybe their children would have a better life one day owning slaves.

Obviously this is totally wrong, and unethical. But American ethics teaches this to us. We see it everyday on TV and in magazines; distorted truths about some nobody that became somebody. Americans need to except that we are who we are and money and material things wont bring greatness. Happiness comes from compassion towards others and understanding the common aspects of the world we live in.

So why do Americans have such a hard time learning. Naturally we learn from example, parents and friends are a great force. But the media is the true culprit. The American media companies brainwash the general public. The majority of you reading this don’t know this or you do know but don’t care. The Media is an extremely powerful force. It can influence a nation to except lower education and living standards. It can make a nation feel they are being attacked, scaring them into accepting a war that was unethical like most of the wars the United States has engaged in. The American Media is an infection spreading rapidly, contaminating the American public.

I am not anti-American nor have I ever been. The United States is one of the greatest countries to live in. To a surprise to a lot of you, there are more productive countries other than the United States. Japan is a perfect example of modern work ethics at its best. The Funny thing about Japan is it was an American that developed Japans work ethics. This Man tried to push it on American companies but Corporatism was already on its way, taking advantage of the hard working American workers. It is greed that destroys the American Dream. I’m sure Adam Smith would roll over in his grave if he new what Corporate America was doing; exploiting the true nature of capitalism.

Life is something that the majority of the people in the world don’t truly understand. Many people hide behind religion not questioning life for themselves. These people are the most pathetic people of all. They are a problem to the rest of us. In many ways they are worse than the Media. These people claim to be educated and many of them are, but when it comes to the most common and truly important question they are absolutely uneducated.

I’ve personally struggled with religion for the past 12 years. When I was younger I asked a lot of questions about religion and never got the answers I was looking for. I realize now that the people I was asking never truly knew; it was just what they have been told. These people clamed to have a strong faith in their religion but they never truly tested it. I still ask myself how can someone have a faith if they have never questioned what it is they believe in. How many children are feed lies every year about the story of Mosses parting the red sea? When religious scholars have proven that Mosses never parted the red see at all, when really it was an error in translation between languages. It was really the reed sea that Mosses parted. Which is not nearly impressive compared to the red sea, about six feet deep.

I was raised Christian but now that I am older I don’t like to associate myself with most Christians due to their overall corruption of moral values and the harm they do to society. Religion was invented by man for man, there are many things a religion can do, like scare their members into giving money to the church, saying they are pleasing God by giving a percent of their income. When any true Christian would believe the last thing God cares about is money. I believe the majority of the religions of the world are corrupt. That there is more false in them than there is truth. I believe there are truths in all religions, and not one religion is the true one.

The problem with religion is it doesn’t allow us to put our faith in our fellow man. It takes away from social unity depriving us from greatening our future. When you believe that there is a better place after this life most people aren’t truly going to appreciate the world they live in. They are not going to care about bettering the future for their own children (this is especially common in the United States, Europeans are a lot more earth friendly.) At one point in my life I felt this way, I didn’t care about this world because I thought I would one day be in a perfect place called heaven. Littering and destroying the earth was no big deal to me. Hell who cares if just our children use 30% of the world’s natural resources here in the United States. Screw India and China, that’s their problem, it’s not like they are as human as us, their more like animals.

Obviously most Americans feel this way. We must when just our children use up more than 30 percent of the worlds natural resources. To me this is totally evil and unjust that so many people could be misled. It makes me sick to my stomach to think of the world my children will be living in and raising their families. The next thirty to fifty years will be pretty interesting to watch. More than likely I will see the United States take over smaller countries for it natural resources. Can you imagine when the United States dries up the oil reserves? It will be every man for himself. The United States will not be able to function without oil. We are too dependent on our SUV’s that get 10-miles-to-the-gallon. Wasting resources like there is an endless supply of them.

Back to religion, I still consider myself a Christian because I still see hope in religion and I know there are some benefits. I do however have a problem with the majority of Christians and how they hide behind their golden crucifix’s hanging around their necks on gold chains. Or even worse gangsters that tattoo themselves with sacred images of Christianity, how sacrilegious is that? How they mock their God they claim to serve. There are way too many of these people with these disrespectful crosses who think they can be saved, when all they do is hurt the very system that breaths life into them. So many who think they will be saved with out doing good deeds towards their fellow man. Isn’t that what Christianity is all about, doing unto others as they would do unto you. Out of all the Christians I have met, I’ve met about two or three that practice Christian doctrine.

Though the biggest problem I have with religion is religions that believe there are the chosen ones. I believe if there is a God the last thing he wants is different church’s arguing about how they are the chosen ones. I believe any church that claims they are chosen are cults, hurting society, breathing hate into their congregation.

The last problem I have with religion, Christians especially is how they are pretty much all hypocrites except for a few. Think about how many Christians are here in the United States that owns a business making heavy profits off of their employees while paying them minimum wage. A wage that isn’t even livable to today’s standards. First of all this is unethical but what really bothers me is how these people can go on about their life and not feel guilty for their sins, if they truly believe in a God? If any one of you are reading this and don’t feel that Jesus was a socialist, then your probably going to spend the remaining part of your after life in the fiery depths of hell. I know enough about the teachings of Christ from spending an hour every morning in seminary for four years to know he was a socialist; not a capitalist gluttonous pig. Shame on you all you Christians, go to your room and stay there; you can’t come out till you’ve thought about what you have been doing.

I honestly believe there is not one CEO living that won’t spend the remainder of their eternal life in the fiery pits of hell. I wonder how many lawyers there will be in hell? If you follow Christian doctrine at all you would know that you couldn’t call yourself a Christian and also be a lawyer, it would be sac religious. Leon Tolstoy summed it up quite well in, “My Religion.” What a wonderful place this world would be if there were more people like Tolstoy and Gandhi and less CEO’s and Lawyers. CEO’s and their Corporate Empires must be stopped. Here in the United States Corporatism will forever flourish due to the foolishness of the majority of its citizens. Really this foolishness is just fear and being uneducated. Anyone who believes that our economy is in a recession is just plain uneducated. Corporations are making skyrocketing sales more than ever. CEO’s are getting paid more than ever. In the 80’s CEO’s made about 35 times their average employee, now it’s 350 times more. Minimum wage hasn’t matched the cost of living since the 70’s. Something is seriously wrong here!

So back to where I first started, big trucks, rice rockets, giant SUV’s are just a reflection of our own pathetic selves. It’s all just an echo of our uneducated ways and our attitude towards others. It’s the whole American mentality thing. When I say uneducated, I’m not talking about not having a formal education. I’m talking about being uneducated in life. Understanding why we are here and how to make the most of it for others and ourselves. The same education that so many of our elderly finally find out when its really too late to practice it. Life is about getting along, helping others when there are in need, and trying our hardest to be our best. Life is not a race to see who is the best, the one’s who follow that path will never find happiness.

When you really think about it, all the answers are right in front of us. We teach our children to do the right thing, to always tell the truth, to be responsible, to look after others, to be polite, to always says please and thank you. Yet as adults we can’t seem to do any of this things. We really should try to be more like children. Innately a child shows compassion towards others, and does so until they are taught not to. Isn’t it ironic that the process of learning and even our formal education would intervene with our human instinct, causing us to have to relearn our natural behavior.
