I am appalled!

The majority of Californians voted no on Proposition 19! That means people still want drug busts in their state! This also means that people are still brainwashed into believing the War on Drugs is a good thing! This is nonsense! People need to see the results of the War on Drugs themselves to know that it's evil! The War on Drugs hurts people, it makes their lives Hell! Is this what America wants!? Well, I have nothing to say to those people... Except I hope you're happy with your miserable selves! You've just made a HUGE mistake by keeping Marijuana illegal!

Perhaps it's not too late to put this out there.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a registered Independent, leaning towards the Democratic side. However, I'm finding myself a bit shocked today... There's something the conservatives are saying that I actually find appealing, rather than appalling. I'm sure many of you have heard the news about California's Proposition 19. What this proposes is that marijuana should be legalized in California. Okay, so they say it should be controlled, like alcohol, but forget about that, at least it's a step in the right direction. But why the conservatives, the same people that I'm at odds with for their stance on birth control and sex education? Well, this video sums it up quite nicely.




So, what else is there to say? Vote yes on Prop 19. Also, visit this site as well and be sure to give it a look. And remember, the War on Drugs is unjust, and it hurts more people then it helps. Especially the poor and downtrodden.

The best Chuck Norris joke I've ever thought up.

When Chuck Norris sneezes, the world floods for 40 days and 40 nights.

Nuclear Deterrence & the negative impact it has on the world.

Recently I watched a video online about the Theory of Nuclear Deterrence. I can't believe anyone would put a theory like this in practice, because it requires that countries harbor nuclear weapons in order to work! For those who don't know what this theory is, this video explains it concisely:



Alright, so now that everyone is on the same page here, I thought to myself "Why couldn't there be a law to outlaw the manufacture and use of nuclear weapons? If national law outlawed nuclear weapons, under threat of severe punishment, then the world's nuclear powers would have no choice but to disarm their nuclear arsenal." Well, it has been attempted. This web page chronicles the events leading to nuclear law as it stands, but even that is not enough to get the world's nuclear powers to disarm themselves. They still cling to their theory of nuclear Deterrence. It's ridiculous. If someone cannot strong arm the world's nuclear powers away from nukes, we're inevitably going to face a nuclear apocalypse, and humanity will not be the only ones affected by it. No, every living creature on the planet will be affected by it. We should have learned from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We didn't, and we need to, or history will repeat itself!

Dove World Outreach Center is out of their mind!

In case you haven't heard, they want to commemorate the 9/11 attacks by burning copies of the Qur'an, the holy book of the faith of Islam. I honestly think that if they go and do this, they will spark an international incident, the consequences of which could get us killed! But there are other reasons I'm opposed to this as well...

You see, I am opposed to the destruction of literature, in any way, shape, or form. That's something I expect of people from the Dark Ages. I seriously thought that after the Renaissance, people learned that information is valuable and should be protected, no matter how controversial or unpleasant it may seem. In a historical context, if people were looking back at our culture, what would they see? Well, they wouldn't see what has been destroyed. Preservation of information is important for humanity, as a whole, to reach true enlightenment.

Honestly, I think the U.S. should outlaw book burning. It would be a step in the direction of progress.

I've had it with Facebook!

Starting today, I'm going to boycott Facebook. Why? Because they don't respect the First Amendment. I found this out when I started joining sites that promoted interests that aren't favored by "the man", whoever they are, be it Facebook admin, special interest groups with a lot of cash, etc. The first time I heard of it was when I joined a group called "Free Ricardo Palmera". They're using Facebook as a way to protest Facebook's ban of the "Free Ricardo Palmera" group and its founders. So far, 2 of the 3 people got their accounts reinstated, but that isn't enough. They also refused to reinstate the group. But that wasn't enough to make me want to leave Facebook. No, it got worse. Recently, I was turned on to this woman named Violet Blue, a female movie director who specializes in prono flicks. She is a very intelligent and respectable woman, and a pro-sex feminist, which I admire. So, when I heard that the group for her site "Our Porn, Ourselves" was deleted, I was INFURIATED! So, I deactivated my account. If they're going to be jerks and start slamming the ban hammer on these sites, then I'll just stop using Facebook, and encourage others to do the same. Also, I should mention, her site wasn't the only one that got this treatment. This is just one of many.

This also turned me on to a joke that I would have otherwise missed, having to do with the infamous "toothed vagina". I had no idea such a myth existed.

WTF, Facebook!?

I was reading this message that this group sent me earlier today:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=136562699701718

This group was formed as a response to the Facebook Censorship of the "Free Ricardo Palmera" group. What happened was, this group, and the 3 founding members, were removed from Facebook, probably because of pressure from the U.S. State Department, or (do I dare say it) the corporations, and so far it has reached over 700 members. This is quite an accomplishment, as the group was formed not long ago. Well, there is both good news and bad news. The good news is that 2 of the members whose accounts were banned, Josh Sykes and Angela Denio, have been reinstated. However, the group's founder, Tom Burke, is still banned, and Facebook is refusing to let him back into the group. This letter, addressed to Tom Burke, and copied from the message from my group to this blog, explains their reasoning.

Hi Tom,

After reviewing your situation, we have determined that you violated our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. One of Facebook's main priorities is the comfort and safety of our users. We do not tolerate hate speech. Targeting people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or disease is a serious violation of our standards and has resulted in the permanent loss of your account. We will not be able to reactivate your account for any reason. This decision is final.

Thanks,

This is the biggest load of bulls*** I have ever read! Hate speech!? Do they mean the national origin part!? If that's true, than I say they're lying out their a**es! The Free Ricardo Palmera group is not anti-American, nor is it hateful. It is a redress of grievances. Sound familiar? It should, because it is a right guaranteed to us by FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION! What Facebook is doing is illegal! They are censoring the protest of the unjust incarceration of Ricardo Palmera, who is fighting for peace in his own home country, and I'm pretty sure our government is breaking some sort of international law stating that a country cannot arrest a citizen of another country that is not under their influence. What the U.S. government is doing to Ricardo Palmera is appalling, and frankly it makes me want to leave Facebook. Better yet, why not create a Facebook alternative, where people where guaranteed freedom of speech. A site that is immune to censorship. I have an idea for the domain name. I would call it "freedombook.net". That's right, not .com, but .net, because it does not promote commercial interests like Facebook does, but it is a network. A network of people that are tired of Facebook censorship and want a place to freely express their views and beliefs. And if someone already has designed a site like that, I might as well quit Facebook and migrate to this site, and when I do, I apologize to all my friends on Facebook if I leave them behind. I will try to let you know where you can find me. It's the least I can do for you guys.
