It amazes me that someone’s biggest complaint is that the government’s going to treat him like a kid, while acting like one of the little fuckers on xbox live.

If the students at Kent State had guns, the situation would’ve exacerbated. National Guards shot out of self-defense when students blocked their escape and threw rocks at them. Mobs don’t need guns, jackhoff.

And the Waco siege had a bunch of crazy-ass citizens that used guns on the police when they were investigating for sexual misconduct and other violations while the leader of compound claimed to be the second coming or some other related shit.

Thank you for granting more evidence why you fucknuts shouldn’t have guns.

You just

a- defended the the national guard troops who fired on UNARMED students

b- defended the government for burning a group of people alive

Maybe YOU enjoy being the government’s bitch, but I dont.

PS- I saw your other post before you deleted it. actually I DO know a shit ton about statistics and how they’re gathered because I read the fine print and dont immediately ingest whatever bullshit is spoon fed to me by the government and corporations.

That’s because the national guard was put in a textbook rock and a fucking hard place position. Those poor kids that were holding down the school and assaulting officers. Obviously I wish they didn’t fire, but why the fuck would giving students guns not escalate the situation if they were already trapping the national guard to throw rocks at them?

And the fact that you’re justifying Waco is hilarious. Religious nutjob raping kids under the glory of his almighty God, wouldn’t answer a warrant. Shot at the cops when they tried to break in. You’re bitching that they burnt the place down when the siege left literally fifty days for them to come out. They stuck to their guns. And then died because the gun owners were idiots. Then again, spot the redundancy.

actually I DO know a shit ton about statistics

I’m sure the gubberment gave you the opportunity with the G.I bill to learn that shit, but it sounds like you forwent it while the rest of us were being productive members of society.

I don’t know shit about gun control. I don’t trust any of the facts and figures because I’m pretty sure all of them are skewed in the direction that the people or companies behind them want them to be skewed. But I will say one thing.

If I see someone pull out a gun with the intent to shoot me or…

an “armed public”

doesnt mean 
“forcefully arm everyone”

You’re afraid of guns, ok, that’s perfectly fine. But i’m not and i’m trained to use them.

so shut the hell up and stop trying to take away MY rights because YOU dont like them.

getting REALLY sick of the mentality of gun control idiots. “I dont like it, therefore YOU shouldnt have it” or “The government should handle everything”

The government is NOT your nanny. and avalost I am NOT necessairly targeting you with all of this angry shit i’m posting, your post just kinda ignited it and for THAT I apologize.

The problem, sweetheart, is that we’re not arguing about a joint or the ability to jack off. Your ‘rights’ don’t supersede the commonwealth’s aspiration of safety.

I hear a shit ton of defense for guns and have to deal with them on a daily basis because the exports of the Midwest are cows, 2nd amendment nuts, and latent racism. All of them boil down to this:

1. The Founding Fathers entrusted us the ability to bear arms.

And Thomas Jefferson beat women and enslaved the children of his rapes. Who gives a shit.

2. Weapons provide defense against intruders.

This is bullshit, but let me explain why:

Kids are stupid:

Men are assholes:

People shouldn’t be making life-or-death decisions off limited info.

3. Guns are fun.

Buy a goddamn Gameboy.

4. What if the government tries to oppress us?

Then you resist and wake up in a torture camp on an unmarked island because this is America and we haven’t fought a war since the 1940’s.

arrivederci

see… the problem with you is that you’re so colossally stupid you don’t realize how stupid you are.

1- In that case, who gives a FUCK about the first amendment? Or ANY of the amendments. President Obama causes the murders of children with drones, Bush allowed the torture of innocent people, Clinton fucked a chick in the oval office, etc.

Just because someone is an asshole… doesn’t mean they have bad ideas. Nazis created the first smart bombs, assault rifles, Volkswagen, porche, the autobahn. they also had a large anti-tobacco movement and were very PRO animal rights, the current animal rights laws in Germany were first adopted by the Nazis.

2- OH I see you read that bullshit motherjones article!

That study was done around 13 years ago, with a very small number of subjects. I’m sure if I got 300 liberal college student and asked them about gun control I could say “90% of americans* think that guns should be banned!”

*americans polled 

-“220 intimate partner femicide victims identified from police or medical examiner records were interviewed, along with 343 abused control women.”

So they interviewed a bunch of victims, only used 220 people of the 300 million+ in America, used skewed statistics from the late 90s, and got their “statistics” based on the results of those 220 women? sorry, but those statistics are more skewed than your view of reality.

3- Gameboys wont save my life when i’m being shot at or stabbed by a bunch of homophobic asshats.

One of my friends was recently attacked by some homophobic rednecks, had it not of been for his concealed carry weapon, he would PROBABLY be dead right now. so you can go ahead and say to his face, his family, and myself that he should “just get a gameboy” 

selfish bitch.

4-we havent fought a war since the 40s?

no… listen… we havent fought a conventional massive ground war since the 40s. do you know what irregular warfare is? it’s a type of war.

You should look up the Waco massacre

or kent state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings

btw, I can assure you… your “unmarked torture islands” dont exist. The government isn’t a super corrupt evil organization from Austin Powers or James Bond, they’re pretty easy to figure out. 

And American citizens, if we all organized and wanted to… we could EASILY remove the current government from office.

Holy shit. This is adorable. It’s awful.

A speech given at a drama department fundraiser.

————————————————————

They say that they save the best for last. And for those that say that, I’m flattered. And I whole-heartedly agree.

Now, I’m sure you’ve already put two and two together, but I’m a big theater guy. Started freshman year, and the decision’s still kicking me in the side to this very day. But one thing I’ve began to cherish above all are the initial misconceptions I’ve had of this place.

I want to put a mental image in your head: picture the theater department as a snow globe. Instead of Santa’s little house, picture the Cultural Arts Center. Now, instead of snow, picture estrogen. Now imagine, instead of every once in a while a six-year old running up to the display to enact their artistic interpretation Haiti, we duct tape this snow globe to the back of Michael J Fox. That is my life almost every day between the hours of 12 and 5.

Now I decided to calculate how many hours of my life have been spent in that building since Freshman year, and on average, It’s about 720. From start to finish of my high school career, that’s near 3,000 hours, or 125 days. Now, according to Diane Sawyer, all it takes is fifteen minutes to save a child from a preventable death. For the sake of figures, lets assume I’m the norm, so that’s 30 students multiplied by 3,000 hours for a nice grand sum of 90,000 that may’ve been elsewhere spent. Now, does everyone have their calculators?

That means, according Ms. Sawyer and affiliates, the high school theater department of Carlsbad has the deaths of hundreds of thousands on their heads.

Ladies, gentlemen, though who wish to remain unclassified, I’m standing here today to talk for two reasons. One, the sound of my own voice gets me off when nothing on my computer can, and two, to shake whatever cash I can from you because the theater department, all joking aside is worth keeping alive. I didn’t pull 90,000 hours out of thin air. That’s the amount of time invested in a graduating class. And I think as you look at your own kids you can realize that the time really isn’t better spent elsewhere. Unfortunately, the State in terms of funds doesn’t share that view. At all.

And as I look around the room at the abnormally well-off middle class of Carlsbad, I start feeling like Diane Sawyer. I’m watching the program I’ve invested my own 3,000 hours in gather cracks while I stare into all of your more-than-capable eyes, and I can almost see your brains eating dinner with their family, watching me, and saying ‘how sad,’ before muting me and going on with the rest of their lives.

But, let me see if I can grab all of your attention. The theatre department, Carlsbad, has you hostage. We are the dangerous combination of creativity and shamelessness. The theatre department didn’t make us like this. Since they built it, we did come. It has since become a dam to prevent us from meddling in areas you know deep down you don’t want us in. It has kept Stephan Deemer out of playgrounds, and it has kept Chris Ohlin out of playgrounds. It’s what introduced all of us to Mr. Mark Patricio, and it’s what’s keeping me out of politics and your daughters’ bedrooms.

Now if you’re willing to just laugh at what you presume are jokes and keep your pennies pinched, I’ll wake up early, sneak past your door, and make your whole family breakfast while I explain how serious I am.

So please, open up your purses, your jackets, your wallets and fish out what you can spare. We don’t expect you to come to every one of our shows, because near half the time we don’t want to be there. What we do expect though is for you to realize that as friends and parents of us, we want and need your support. And, as citizens of Carlsbad, you have the civic duty to do whatever you can to keep our eccentricity contained.

Thank you. Support the arts.

 In an unexpected show of support for the Occupy movement, commuters have completely frozen the flow of traffic on the north and southbound I5 this afternoon.

“Jesus Christ,” one driver stated to one of our reporters. “I’m already ten fucking minutes late.” This sense of civic pride was shared by many of the fellow Occupiers, some even quipping that they’re aware their job security may be compromised by their participation in the stagnant protest.

“Why the flying fuck is everyone on the fucking road?” Minnia Andrews, 1^st grade teacher at Puget Sound Elementary was quoted saying, in what seemed to be an attempt to rally the people. However, the return chant was assumedly drowned by the furious honks of support by the other patrons of the Occupy: I5 movement.

“We haven’t moved in like a goddamn hour,” another protester stated, on the verge of tears. Several accounts testified to the emotional factor of the movement as well as the sense of togetherness it has built. “I will kiss every man, woman, or derivative’s ass if it means we move forward.”

The occupiers face an uphill battle with their continual occupation, but it seems there is no plan for any of the drivers to back down. While police presence has been very limited, tensions still run high for many of these commuters. Despite this, “FUCK FUCK FUCK,” the unofficial rallying call of the movement, can be heard all along the stretch of freeway, inspiring the dozens of newcomers on the entrances and the hundreds of veterans on the exits to stay strong.

In a magnanimous speech given by North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il earlier today during peace talks with its southern rival, it was revealed that this misunderstood dictator sympathizes with many American Occupiers.

 “I know not where these U.S invaders come from,” the height-intolerant philanthropist was quoted saying. “But I admire their tenacity.” The malformed elf was later heard saying that he thought the idea of occupying 2,000 cities was ‘wicked sick,’ and even later seen shedding sentiments regarding ‘why can’t we ever do that kind of stuff?’

 The speech however, was not without purpose. The vertically-uninclined commander then unveiled his contribution to the movement: a 55,000 person occupation of South Korea’s capital, Seoul. “While 2,000 occupations is our goal,” the Pygmy Piper of Power stated, “we feel we need to start somewhere. We need to garner support for the cause.”

 Prime Minister of South Korea Kim Hwang-sik furiously opposed the Minute Manic, citing that this was in violation of several provisions and ordinances laid out by the South Korean government. “You can’t loiter in public parks here,” he said, clearly frustrated by Kim Jong’s lack of adherence to local camping laws. “Until a permit is provided, we may have to use non-lethal force to deter the North Korean legions.”

 The peace talks shifted to the subject of the occupation, despite President Obama’s best efforts to quell the topic. “It is of my opinion,” our President started, “that for the occupation to truly be successful there must be cooperation between the occupiers and the local police force.” Despite this, arguments escalated between the two parties. “If we do not receive a city-camping license, the true Korea will use full force to attack the southern devil.” Kim Jong threatened. “We will hold signs, and we will picket outside their capital buildings to protest their oppressive regime.” The North Korean leader then stormed out of the negotiation room with his advisors, adding quickly “I’d totally get arrested too.”
