So I've been listening to Slayer recently

[tyrannosaurus vex]

And there are a few points I'd like to make with regards to STICKING IT TO THE MAN™.


When you go out there and you don't take any shit, don't succumb to the temptation that you're being an "asshole." Remember, folks, those fuckers started the war. Every weird, disobedient act; every word you say or write that flies in the face of the Status Quo; is retaliation, not just "rocking the boat."

You can't walk down the street without being stuck in a photo or video at least five times.

You can't find a job doing what you love, if you expect to be anything but broke most of the time.

You can't drive on the highways without some goose-stepping bag of dicks making sure you're supposed to be.

You can't SPEAK UP.

You can't ACT OUT.

You can't clothe or feed yourself without benefiting DIRECTLY FROM ACTUAL HONEST-TO-FUCK SLAVERY.

You can't be YOURSELF, unless you define yourself by what you see on the TEEVEE or in the movies.

You can't RAISE A GOD DAMNED RUCKUS, even way out in the desert with nobody around, without risking incarceration.

You think this is the way things are supposed to be? NO? Did YOU make things this way? NO? So don't fall into the trap of thinking YOU'RE the one who's out of line when you do any of these things ANYWAY.

If this is a war, it's THEIR WAR. If this is a crime, it's THEIR CRIME. If this is a revolution, THEY'RE THE ONES WHO STARTED IT.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That's a pretty good summary.

[LMNO]

Righteous.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

PREACH ON, BROTHER V3X!

[P3nT4gR4m]

You think this is the way things are supposed to be? NO? Did YOU make things this way? NO? So don't fall into the trap of thinking YOU'RE the one who's out of line when you do any of these things ANYWAY.

This!

If thine eye offend thee, feel free to suck my balls

[The Good Reverend Roger]

If The Man strike thy right cheek, kick him IN THA NADS.

KICK ALL THE NADS.

And I laugh at assholes on BOTH sides of the aisle who refer to "dissent in wartime" as "treason".  FUCK YOU, I KNOW PATRICK HENRY.  And I howl with mirth when I'm told that this is a "Christian nation".  FUCK YOU, GET BACK IN LINE WITH ALL THE OTHER GOOFBALLS.  YOUR RELIGION DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY EXTRA VOTES.

And as for Juan and his family being "illegals", FUCK YOU.  Juan ran across the DESERT with his WIFE AND KIDS for a chance to WORK.  What are YOU doing?  Oh, yeah.  Sitting on the couch, eating your cheap food that just GREW ITSELF.

And I WILL raise a ruckus.  I care not about the police, for the fucking MAYOR attends my parties.  I care not how many exorcists you send around, either, they'll be dancing with everyone else, because it's time for the GODDAMN TIME WARP, and everyone LOVES THAT SHIT.

And kids these days...These horrible kids!  FUCK YOU, THEY'RE THE MOST CIVILIZED GENERATION OF CHILDREN EVER.

Conclusion:  I'm gonna do what I want.  FUCK YOU.  SHUT UP.  SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING.

"Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame." — The Stolen Journals

PREACH IT, BROTHER!

DON'T MIND IF I DO!

They tell me it's IMMORAL and WRONG and probably TREASON.  I tell them it's MY Goddamn America, and if they don't LIKE it, they can fucking well move to THEIR America, where they can sit and be RIGHTEOUSLY MISERABLE all fucking day.

I'm in MY America.  Not YOUR America. 

And in MY America, *I* am responsible for my morals, the condition of my soul, my liver, and my lungs.  If it's not hurting someone else, then SHUT THE FUCK UP and go bother someone who FEELS GUILTY.  In MY America, there is no such thing as "legitimate rape", because BY GODDAMN DEFINITION, *ANY* RAPE IS A CRIME OF VIOLENCE AGAINST ANOTHER PERSON.  Get out of that woman's uterus, Todd Akin.  You have no business there unless she INVITED YOU.

And in MY America, every laughs at Ted Nugent, and calls him "Mr Poopy Pance".  He SHAT HIMSELF to get out of the draft, and that's fine, BUT:  He seems to think he now has credibility as a war hawk.  Contrast this with MOHAMMED ALI (No, NOT Cassius Clay, that's not his fucking name anymore and hasn't been for decades), who told the draft board where to head in, and then told a federal judge to do the SAME DAMN THING.

And when that dumbass Howard Cosell asked him WHY he did it, he fucking told everyone.  ON THE AIR.

And he never, ever apologized for BEING RIGHT.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

SO BACK OFF.  I'm a HOLY MAN™.

[P3nT4gR4m]

I've never been a die for my principles kinda guy. Other people are and I respect them for that but that's not me. The only thing I believe in dying for is a good time.

I don't feel the need to yell at the ones who don't like what I call a good time and I sure as fuck aint got any interest in having them "legalize" whatever the hell it is that they don't like me doing. The fuck do I care if they approve or not? Ninety nine times out of ten, their disapproval indicates the very fact that it might be fun in the first place.

I don't need to stick my neck on some line and stick it to the man and I sure as fuck don't want to be an inspiration to anyone but myself. They're all fucking safety freaks and I thrive on the ragged edge so riddle me this - in a staring contest, who's going to freak out first?

They can point their miserable little frowns and screech til their lungs give out. I'm too busy chowing down fun. Hot, gooey, carcinogenic, risk of injury, nine times the limit fun to even hear the fuckers.

HALLELUJAH

Sometimes the word is PAIN. And when you're willing to accept that, things can actually change.

OK, I might be a hopeless optimist. I might be a Pollyanna. But I think that there is a reason that we live in a nation where against all odds, against increasing wealth disparity and lack of health care and drones and our nation sponsoring war and torture, we, the people, OUR people, despite everything the media screeches at us to believe about division, racism, crime, violence, and hatred, are kinder and just plain better to each other than we ever have been in our whole history. 

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I've never been a die for my principles kinda guy. Other people are and I respect them for that but that's not me. The only thing I believe in dying for is a good time.

Well, I've always been a little confrontational.  You may have caught a whiff of this. 

And while I'd prefer not to die for my principles, I do believe in OR KILL ME, and in this I am in good company. 

Basically, I'm a belligerant asshole with just enough morality that I pick on people who pick on people, rather than finding some harmless schmoe to fuck with.  I like to fight, and I don't have to feel bad if the people I pick a fight with were fucking with me or someone else at the time.

If right wing Nazi assmonkeys and left wing authoritarian fuckwits didn't exist, I'd have to invent them, or go live in the desert where I wouldn't bother people.

I can't think of a better time period for raising kids.
