Today I was getting my daily dish of news (first from Drudge Report and later from SRN). The headlines was the "NSA Wiretapping" thing. I think USA Today has been living in an area of the world without Internet, TV, or radio for the past six or seven months. The news that "broke" today was "broke" months ago by the NYT. It was as stupid then as it is now. Nothing has changed between then and now. What's even more foolish is how people get in a hissy fit about this. Are people so ignorant they don't even read the full article? They're tracking phone numbers to see the incoming and outgoing calls, making sure it's not going to terrorist organizations (not getting your address and name, etc). I highly doubt they'll care if you take to your wife or girlfriend about dinner. It should be clear: they aren't using it for anything more … they aren't breaking down all the druggies doors, are they? It's not cross-America tracking.
Traffic doesn't bother me. Other people that love to go 20 MPH over the limit tick me off. I'm going the limit (and sucking down less fuel in the process) … if I slam on breaks, I don't want to have an Intrepid plowing into me. Why can't people obey to law and just go the limit? When passing people — and going over the limit — always try to check for cops. Don't start edging past and then see the cop and slow down 10MPH under the limit. The cop might pull you over for going to slow. Be smart — go the limit.
Murder. I guess it's obvious, most sane people should hate murder, right? Well, most do. The guy that was in college, going to research a cure for cancer. He was given the cure, he was going to college to be able to prove it and put it to use. Sadly, this was one of the 47 million people killed 21 years ago by "abortion" (you can't really "abort" a life). Even worse is there are people trying to put legality to the murder. It's not a right to murder someone. I guess I honestly got a pure hatred for it when I listened to the JHOP podcast a week ago. The one that got me was the girl who lost twin brothers by abortion. It's an evil practice and it shouldn't be stopped, it MUST be stopped. Why are people so blind?
Liberal propaganda is lame and much (most) of it is evil. They accept ideas that go in direct opposition to the Bible. Abortion. Homosexuality. List goes on …
Text books that use the words: bigot, fanatic, dogma, etc. If you want creditability — never use these words. It makes you look like an ignoramus. You're going to make people read your propaganda anyway — why use words that discredit all your work? Personal blogs don't count. Don't put it in a text book. Especially if you want people to believe anything you say from that point forward.
Scientists who are still stuck on trying to prove things that have been disproven countless times look funny. It makes them come off as coo-key. After a while, you'd think they'd try to come up with a better "solution" to the earths creation (while, of course, still trying to disprove the provable). Come up with something about more than, "oh, it was millions of years". Not all are so funny — some are serious and further technology and do things worthwhile — like find cures for things.
Loneliness.
I think that's about all for now. I'll have to post the things I love one day. I don't hate the people doing these things … I just hate the actions of these people. Just wanted to make that clear.
Well Justin. The speeding thing drives me nuts too. What drives me even more nuts is people who claim to follow Christ but then give a whole bunch of reasons as to why it’s ok to speed, even though it’s against the law.
I think it is funny when people pass me and then get stuck behind someone going slower down the road in front of me. Then I catch up to them at the next light or stop sign or whatever and where are they? One car length in front of me, with more gas burned then me.
Oh – did you know? In Rhode Island, before you pass someone, you are supposed to produce an “audiable sound”. In other words, you have to beep your horn. It makes sense – it alerts the person and they see you pass – but reality if you beep at someone and pass them it will likely produce road rage.
or how about Christians who just shout out “I’m all yours” during services and still live in mediocrity and mixture as the week goes along…
more voices in the wilderness! 🙂
