• Advanced Exploitation

  So the options as they currently stand for me are a) retake the course with the same woman I’ve accused of bias (and who also happens to be painfully boring and a wording-Nazi) or b) flush my masters degree and two years of work. Somebody please remind me when I signed up for a ball-kicking contest and explain to me why it’s never my turn? Argle-blarg!

  In other news, Ted Kennedy is just about the only thing on the news. If he sat up in his casket and asked for water I could see how this might still be news but so far nothing about his status has really changed – he’s still very dead. If he gets up and starts biting people put that on the news – I need time to load my shotgun. Otherwise, please move on and report on something important like how crazy the Middle East is – I blame the heat.

  Consider this, you live in a very hot region where the sun seems to rise each morning just to flip you the bird – I’d be angry too. Add to this a lack of proper education and centuries of leaders pointing the finger at easy targets and you get angry people looking for someone’s butt to kick. See that? I just summarized the crisis in the Middle East and why it’s not going away.

  Did you know that there are over 80 million slaves in the world today? Did you also know that Arab nations have been the leading consumers of “African labor” for centuries? While that doesn’t negate the West’s responsibility for being jerks to their fellow man it also suggests that “white guilt” is a product of disinformation. It should also be pointed out that “compromise,” a very popular word in modern politics, is what kept slavery on the books when our nation was founded. We effetely shrugged and said it’d die out eventually which was proven wrong by its popularity in the South and an additional century plus of bigoted bullshit even after Americans killed each other to the tune of 600k+.

  Compromise: sometimes you just need to grow a pair.

  Speaking of growing a pair and compromise, are you aware that Saddam Husein was an on going problem we had multiple opportunities to nip in the bud but wussed out of? Have you heard of the Kurds? We let Saddam gas about 300k of them to death in the late 80′s. Then he attacked Kuwait which just happens to have a lot of oil in it. And as soon as we pushed him out of Kuwait the Arabs said “get lost, white devils!” and our President, Bush Sr, caved to political pressures which allowed to continue killing Iraq’s population in ways that make the CIA’s interrogation tactics look like friendly hugs. And for the record, I hate that we use torture – I don’t care what fucking information you get, torture is wrong.

  Executions for terrorism and sabotage, I can get behind that.

  But back to being weenies, we finally get around to capturing Saddam and people whine that we’re hurting the people or Iraq – trust me when I say the death toll is down and getting blown to bits is a lot nicer than being tortured to death. What happened to the American people believing in themselves? I’m not saying we should consider every action right but for Pete’s sake don’t hate yourself because mistakes have been made – there isn’t a nation on earth that is free of blood on its hand/head.

  Let me stop again to point out that “weenies,” while an insult or a crudity, is also a word and shouldn’t be marked by spell check.

  Moving on, the West needs to grow a pair because it’s not being sensitive or repentant by blaming itself for the world’s evils or a history full of mistakes. Guess what – we’re still making mistakes. So discounting the good hasn’t produced anything but a Western world that’s lost its strength and is quickly losing the ability to provide hope and safety to people around the world. We’re still a better option than most places but we’re in danger of becoming just as bad – we’re moving backwards. Liberalism and the Enlightenment are being lost. Their purpose wasn’t to leave us dejected over our past but hopeful for a better future. We were the most advanced and civil nations in the world even with our mistakes factored in.

  Trust me when I say that although Colonialism and Imperialism were wrong, they also brought advancements in learning and technology to peoples that were far behind us and who were already suffering beneath retarded, exploitative rulers before any white guys showed up. We just happened to be advanced exploiters.
