Or even be like, "Hey, that's remotely close to the truth as I see it."And maybe some will be offended, but realize that some of us have our own individual opinions and accept that, even if they're not happy with it.I also know this is likely to not just be dumpsterized, but deleted. It hurts too many people. It hits too many people way too close to home.These reasons are exactly why I have to say it.Hats off to you guys. You have to be the best sports in the world. You put up with have a million gross links. You know I love ya. However, I think maybe people need to think more about the here and now - yes, a terrible tragedy happened one summer/autumn morning (you are welcome to bitch about specifics - hey, it smelled like autumn to me) and a lot of people were hurt. Yes, some were killed, some were crippled, I'm not for a moment ignoring that.But a lot of people, people who had/have had jack-fucking-shit to do with the entire incident were mortified. Perhaps I'm too idealistic, but I would like to think that they were hurt because someone else besides themselves was being assaulted. Or attacked, Or killed.Those who are surviving - yes, I say it that way because I realize that a lot of you are out there fucking taking care of what needs to be taken care of - but those who are living should be fucking glad they're living, be fucking glad that they're able to exist without a foreign government hopping in and saying, "bitch, this is how you're supposed to be doing things"And most are. Some of them, they're wondering why the fuck we're shooting people in Iraq, why the fuck we're sending people out there. Huh. Tough fucking question.I'm a peace monger. By that I mean I'll fucking shoot you to make sure that some pacifist out there can get his spiritual sperm into some other pacifist's cooch. Peace and love, don't push and shove. All that fucking jazz. H owever, when someone starts yelling jihad over some stupid shit... like the white devil chewing tobacco in a religious center... Well, ok. Fine. Normal people can work through these things. For example:One guy/gal might say, "My honor was stepped on by your drunken dog of a son's libdo." The other guy/gal might say, "Doh, sorry man. Here, have some nachos. They make me feel good, and hell, at least the farts they give you will keep the bugs away."And then they turn a ritual slaying into a frat party: annoying as hell, but nobody important gets hurt.That's why it's worth it. Not the moron in the ugly coat, and not the stupid fuck in the sequins. It's because of the tacos. You can eat half a ton of fucking tacos now, and people are like, "Dude, you're a fatass, but I'll blow you because you can afford half a ton of tacos a week."So c'mon motherfuckers. Make a run for the border. Just don't trip on junkie's dongle. He's always leaving it where some drunk piece of shit can trip over it.
I want your permission to turn this into a spoken word slow industrial tribute to the american dream. I happen to be one of those saddened by recent events, but at the say time in your own weird little way you have summed up the situation. i would also like it to be said by Brak.
Sure. Just be sure to tag an 'iblis says hi' somewhere in there, even if it's subliminal/backwards/whatever.
But really I thought it was more of a tribute to "I'm drunk but there are no ethernet cords for me to trip over so it's all good woot woot'.
Either way, have at it.
