Clearing Things Up

Let's just get one thing straight before I continue with this project... Everything I say is well thought out and designed for a purpose, a purpose that perhaps you do not understand, likely do not agree with, and, or think is not worth merit. Unfortunately, herein lies the truth. You do not think it is worth merit, you do not agree with it, you do not understand it. It is not my place to make you do anything. I am simply speaking my mind about a plethora of different subjects, life, politics, religion, and so forth. I am not stupid. I know that in the present state of this world, many of the things I say seem unlikely. However, just because something is a longshot does not make it worth less, or any less likely to happen. Things either happen or they don't. There is no in between. You can only make a prediction on whether or not they will based on the past and present, not the future. The problem is that predictions are for the future, not the past or the present. ...

Life Experience

There are two fundamental types of feeling, regardless of what psychology will tell you. There are those that make you feel warm inside, like you want to get up and shout something to the world (and if you're Tom Cruise, you just might). And, there are those that make you feel empty, like a lead weight has pulled you down through your feet. They come in different degrees, and sometimes it is almost impossible to differentiate between them. I can't speak for others, but seeing as though we are all fundamentally the same, the experience will be similar for everyone. Ever have a day where everything seems to be on the up and up? Where time and space mold to your command. The very fabric of the universe seems to be bending in your favor. Fate. Some use that word to describe illogical occurrences. On your way to the mall, you have a blow-out and skid into a telephone pole. When you come to you see the face of a person you haven't seen since high school looking down at y...

Let's Make a Deal

Okay, I'll make you a deal conservatives. If you change who you are, what you stand for, your goals, intentions, beliefs, and tendencies, I'll vote for you. You speak about uniting the country; here's your chance. You've got ten seconds. [In the meantime... The Agnostic's Creed... I do not believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I do not believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, (a man may have existed but he was not the son of God any more than I am) who was not conceived by the Holy Spirit, or born of the Virgin Mary, (in the days of old, people found it to be disgraceful to have bastard children, so the conception was "immaculate") suffered under Pontius Pilate, (lots of people did, why not) was crucified, died, or was buried; (again, lots of people were) he descended to the dead (people die). On the third day he did not rise again; (no comment) he did not ascend into heaven, (the Church trying to scare ...

The Coming of a New Era

Everything in life is cyclical. Things go in and out of style, in and out of favor. So do people, so do organizations, so do governments. Unfortunately for the latter, there's rarely a chance were they can resume where they left off. A common mistake people make is believing that the problem beings when the dip or rise from the present track occurs. However in actuality it begins when the slope of the line changes. Though things are not doing bad at the turning point, they are doing less well. Therefore, when one does not turn a condition around, it is partially their fault for not being perceptive enough. Now it is easy to see that bad conditions come out of good with no clear line dividing them (in most cases). Many times, one does not realize that things have gone bad until much after they began to. Likewise, the 1960's or 1970's, or any other decade does not begin on January 1st. It begins in the actions and movements that begin well before the ball drops and co...
I'm not an angry person. I am not by nature vengeful, grudge-holding, or hurtful. I am however, cold and calculating, and I tend to get my way. I shrug people off when they get too close and I don't beat around the bush. If you don't like it, then too bad. It's not in my capacity to change. I am not crewel however and I don't intend to hurt anyone. I am very empathetic even if I appear apathetic. A lot of the time I take life in a third-person view, I see and experience it through others. If I knew why, I'd fix it. Likewise I pass through bouts of what would be described as clinical depression. But such is life, and it passes unacknowledged. I hide things, even from those closest to me. I don't drink to get drunk, I don't smoke anything, and I don't take unnecessary medications. If I have a headache I want to have it, discover why I have it, and cure the problem at it's source instead of treating symptoms. This is the way I am, met...

Searching for Meaning: Heaven and Hell vs. Santa Claus

***Do not read this.*** Now that I've weeded out the easily manipulative, let's continue. ***Also do not read this if you are religious.*** Now that I have weeded out the easily offended, let's continue... Or perhaps not if you're already angry and still reading, but I digress. It occurred to me yesterday that belief in Heaven or Hell parallels the childhood notion of Santa Claus. Think about it. Children believe that there is a fat man in a red and white suit living at the North Pole. He has also apparently enslaved an army of little people, green suits and shoes with bells on them, a sign of their servitude. Under the direction of Santa, an old man who lets little children sit on his lap and photograph it for a fee, directs the creation of toys for all the good little boys and girls of the world, that he will on Christmas Day deliver to every child in the world (all three billion of them) while they sleep that night. Well, maybe not all of them, just the Christia...

Necessities for a Stable 21st Century Society

Let's face it, there are a couple of areas in our lives today, individually and the human race as a whole, that need some work. First, minimum wage: This coincides with workers rights and in the long run will benefit businesses. After all, a worker who cannot afford to buy the product he/she makes, is wasteful in a business sense. If all people are able to buy what they are paid to make, then business will become much more stable and poverty will drop. Poverty, likewise, will be combated with a minimum wage, as well as human trafficking, and illegal immigration to name a few. Create a clear and concise world-participative document that details the inalienable rights of all of mankind and the punishments for people (including world leaders) who discard these rules. relegate cigarette smoking to designated non-public places preferably with good ventilation. Best case senario: restrict smoking to outdoors and only on property which one owns and not within twenty feet of a child. ...

My Authoritarian Quotient

(Corporate Quotient + Government Control Quotient + Government-Corporation Partnership Bonus + Religion bonus)/[(People + 0.5%)^(Number of Executives / Total Population) * Proximity] = Authoritarian Quotient Where the Corporate Quotient (a) = total workforce (b) / number of executives (c) and the Government Control Quotient (d) = Republican Sum (e) / (Democrat Sum (f) - Independent Sum (g) ) where the Republican Sum (e) = total number of republicans in Congress (h) + 10 for a republican president (i) + 5 for each conservative judge (j) + 15 bonus for holding a majority in Congress (k) + 5 bonus for holding a majority in the SJC (m) where the Democrat Sum (f) = total number of democrats in Congress (n) + 10 for a democrat president (o) + 5 for each liberal judge (p) + 15 bonus for holding a majority in Congress (q) + 5 bonus for holding a majority in the SJC (r) where the Independent Sum (s) = the number of Independents in Congress (and if so the SJC and the presid...

When It Comes to Sex

Let's talk about sex for a minute. What the hell is so wrong about sex? You wouldn't be here if not for sex. Your parents have had, will have, may right now be having sex, so have your grandparents and their parents before them. Back and back, to the beginning of time, we have all had sex. And, I'm all for sex. But some people believe that sex for reasons other than children is wrong, that it is immoral or against God's plan. Retracting... Some people believe that premarital sex is wrong, that it is immoral, against God's plan. Or that homosexual sex is immoral, blasphemous. There are people who believe that the world is too loose with sex today. There are people who believe that the world isn't loose enough with sex today. There are people who don't know what to think about sex. There are people who've never had sex and who's sole purpose for dating is to have sex. There are people who have had sex, many a time frequently, and want to h...

One Nation Divided

I figured since I've launched unwilling-dystopia 2.0 that I should explain my choosing for the title. We as Americans are part of a nation where each and every citizen is (supposed) to be allowed to agree with or disagree with political bodies without fear of reprisal. Because of this, we are one nation divided amongst ourselves. Except for a few short instances, we as Americans have chosen to proclaim our differences in the most vocal ways possible and as members of this country it is our right to do so. Of course, there are things you can't say, because they are harmful to others. Slander is illegal, for good cause. As is libel. You can't yell bomb on an airplane and expect to get away with it, and for good reason too. The biggest fear of those in power is to lose power. Of course, George Washington stepped down after two terms of his own free will. It just goes too show us that he was an exceptional and humble man. For the most part however, politicians like powe...

Unwilling-Dystopia 2.0

So, yeah, I've decided to remake the site to better tailor it to what I was speaking about. The black background was too drab anyways. Hopefully, I'll post something soon, 'cause we all know how much you people like to argue with me. Peace, FlyFreeForever.
