Bill of Responsibilities

One of the major factors contributing to the decline of our society is that more people are concerned with their rights then their responsibilities. We see this at every turn, everywhere we look. People are more worried about having for themselves than for giving for others. Part of this is inspired by fear, another by greed. These trends MUST be overturned if we are not only to thrive as a society, but to survive as a society.

A prime example of this is the reduced number of enlistments into the military we are seeing. People are either too afraid of actually having to make something of themselves, or are too afraid that they may be asked, or worse yet TOLD (gasp!) to do something INCONVENIENT. Are we turning into a nation of cowards? Does honor mean that little to us? Have we no desire to protect that which others have suffered, bled, and died to provide for us? These are hard questions, yet they have easy answers.

We have reached a point in human history where our technology has completed exceeded our ability to control it. We use it, but every day something new is created, invented, perfected. And some of us have learned to use it to hurt others. So, logically, it makes sense to use more technology to ensure they cannot hurt us; to protect the innocent. This is the way things should be. We NEED to use the tools that we have provided for ourselves. This somes with a cost, however; in that we must make a decision now: do we sacrifice something for our greater good, or do we keep the trivial things and take a risk that we will be the next victim? It seems that we want it both ways, but this cannot happen. You cannot keep your cake if you eat your cake.

Listen well, my fellow men and women: YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE OF GREATER IMPORTANCE THAN YOU RIGHTS. Accept it. The needs of the many will always outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one.

As long as we remember that this is NOT a license for one to trample or be trampled, we will move in the right direction. We can still protect the future. We will still HAVE a future.

I dare you to prove me wrong.

Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?

First, allow me to apologize for not posting anything in the last few days, but I have had my hands full with a million other things...

We have all, by now, had ample opportunity to hear the news that one of the mothers who lost a son in Iraq has written a book about the evils of our "reckless commander-in-chief" and his policies involving the Middle East and Iraq. These people would have you believe that we are over here fighting for money and oil, that we are being sacrificed on the altar of the almighty dollar. They couldn't be further from the truth.

Do they actually think that if we leave our enemies alone, they will just leave us in peace? Can anyone be that naive, incomptent, or just plain stupid and still breathe unassisted? We tried that people, with a European guy named Adolf. It didn't work then, and it isn't going to work now. If somneone hits you, you hit them back, harder. Then you hit them again, and keep hitting them until they fall down. Once they fall, you keep hitting them; for if you don't they may get back up again.

Now, someone is going to tell me that violence doesn't solve anything. What do you think they will reply with once I hit them. These are also the same people who have never passed a history class. Yes, war is tragic. That doesn't make it evil.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to sit back and do nothing. Utilizing that philosophy (true as it is), anyone who advocates our retreat in the face of adversity is at least an accomplice to evil. These people believe that pacifism and cowardice are signs of morality. They couldn't be further from the truth.

A wise man once said, "Heroism isn't running into combat with a machine gun blazing and a cigar clenched between your teeth. Heroism, true heroism, is going off to serve your country while thinking about your family at home." Allow me add my two cents to this. Heroism also covers extending to others the chance to live free of tyranny, oppression, and persecution, regardless of the personal cost.

By the way, show me a servicemember who deployed to make someone else rich and I'll show you a self-deluded idiot. We don't do this for economics; not at our level. If someone else at home is making a profit by sending us into harm's way, then shame on them. Karma will catch up with them, sooner than they think.

And remember, the only American Idiots out there fervently believe we should just come home and let the world walk all over us. America is the land of the free and the home off the brave only as long as we fightly bravely to keep our freedom.

Something I Hope You Really Like!

Today, we are going for something a little more fun and a little less controversial: we are going after a super-hero. Superman, it's your turn to get the "finger and giggle" combo deal. You'll even get it Super-Sized.

When you go to this website, you will see an icon which, if you click on it, will lead you into a damning gallery of evidence (over 150 items) proving, beyond the shadow of a doubt, exactly what Superman is. Given the recent popularity of the television series Smallville (itself replete with examples of Clark Kent being less than heroic) and the new Superman movie being prepared for release, the fact that

Hussein Gets It, Too

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a special treat for you today: some of the most truly evil people on Earth today: the terrorists of the Middle East, complete with any idiot who has ever sympathized with them. You are the worst enemies humanity has.

God never told you that you had permission to kill innocent people. He never issued a scriptural mandate to destroy everyone who doesn't agree with you. And he DEFINITELY never pointed a finger at America, or any other nation, and said "ATTACK!" You idiots only think He did. STOP IMMEDIATELY. You wonder why every other nation in the world has pursued you, persecuted you, and sought to destroy you. YOU STARTED IT. Apologize, and cease the stupidity, and maybe your God will forgive you.

The desire to murder others is NOT righteousness, regardless of the God you choose to serve. It is sacriligious, and a waste of talent and life; both for the victim(s) and perpetrator(s). Life, all life, is sacred and serves a purpose. We weren't put here so you could have a body count, you morons. Show me PROOF, hard evidence, that God wants us dead, and I will show you reasons He has given us opportunities to repent and gain salvation. Think about it for a moment, if your miniscule brains will allow you to: if God wanted us dead, wouldn't He have done so already?

Who appointed you God's avenger(s), anyway? If it was Him, as you claim, show me your credentials. I bet you don't have any, you shallow-minded rejects from a backwards age. Thousands of years of jyhaad, and you STILL haven't won? Accept defeat, and lead by example.

I would normally encourage the rest of the world to point and laugh, but you're too pathetic to rate a mere chuckle, and the tragedies you incite have wounded this world for generations to come. Maybe it IS your turn to die for the cause.

Make War, Not Love!

Today, it is the hippies turn... and I have far more to say about them than almost any other group.
First, I need to say thank you, for almost single-handedly destroying America in the 1960's. We still haven't recovered from your anti-patriotic assaults on this great nation. You cost us a war in your first decade of existence, and are threatening to do it again. Violence IS a perfectly legitimate solution to any problem, provided that all other measures have been tried and failed (and a lack of diplomatic progress is a failure, NOT a minor inconvenience). Violence solves matters rather thoroughly. Get used to it.
Second, the environment will survive the mistakes made by men. I am not advocating the destruction of the environment; I am just saying that chaining yourselves to trees and/or logging equipment is kind of stupid. And for the record, it doesn't look like you've been able to figure that one out for yourselves, so the rest of us (cue the music) POINT AND LAUGH!
Finally, there ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS ANIMAL RIGHTS! If we weren't supposed to eat them, why are they made out of meat? We evolved to eat them, use their bones for tools, and wear their skins for coats. That happens in a food chain; especially the one that we are on top of. So next time one of you pours a bucket of blood (or what looks like blood) on someone in a fur coat, and you get the stuffing knocked out of you, LEARN FROM IT. Being an idiot isn't a right covered by the Constitution.

Stay tuned!

First Strike

Ladies and Gentlemen, and assorted other carbon-based lifeforms, here is my first "let's all point and laugh" attack aimed at urban asininity. Check this out, if you dare!

What is the deal with the "thug life" hip-hop mentality??? Who in their right mind can possibly WANT to glorify a life of ignorance, dope-peddling, and pointless violence? It's like one day, a bunch of guys got together and said, "I enjoy being shot at, spending time in jail, having kids with 8 different mothers, and generally wading in the shallow end of the gene pool! Let's glorify this!" And THEN, to make matters WORSE, we buy into the marketing ploys based on the fact that if you talk into a microphone fast enough with enough bass, you actually have musical talent. I could list names, but I don't need to. You can find them easily enough on MTV and BET.

Yes, point and laugh at a group of people dumb enough to think that a welfare-supported ghetto-based existence is cool. Then laugh at everyone who actually has a better quality of life that buys into this crap.

And people wonder why "The Dukes of Hazzard" is still popular?

Just Another Day In Paradise

Good morning! It is another sunny day here in Babylon. I look outside and see the sun shining, and it seems that the fate of the world is in my hands. Again.

Still, this whole Marine Corps thing isn't so bad. I eat well enough, I sleep well enough, and all is well, except for every Violent Extremist in the world trying to get into heaven by taking a few of us with them. They're in for a rude surprise when they realize that God said Virginians, not Virgins. Semantics, really. They're still screwed.

Stay posted! I feel another rant coming on...

The Meaning Of Life

No, I won't be singing "Every Sperm Is Sacred", at least, not today. However, you, as the reader, should have some idea as to what this blog is about. Here I will rant a little about the stupidity and asininity I am subject to in my daily travels. My hopes are to combat the "dumbing down" of the average individual by pointing out their faults publicly. If education fails, maybe public humiliation will urge us to improve ourselves.

Maybe not, but sometimes, it IS fun to point and laugh.

Welcome to Sunny Babylon!

Greetings one and all! Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, let's get down to business...

As one of many American servicemembers overseas, I have a somewhat different perspective on the world in general and the Middle East in specific than most will get from the media. No, I don't serve to make some politician's cronies wealthier. I don't fight for oil. I am helping a less fortunate people get some of those "inalienable rights" those human rights people are always whining about. I serve so they can live freely and sleep in peace.

If you don't like that or cannot understand, get over it. Meanwhile, I have a job to do, so stop griping about my doing it.
