I am told I am American because I was born in America. I was schooled in American ways in American schools by most Americans. I do not feel American though. I do not feel America today is remotely in line with the teachings that are instilled in us all early in our lives. There is no democracy anymore, not sure there ever was anyway with slaves and all, there is certainly NO JUSTICE in America, there is no opportunity for ALL in America, only for SOME. American culture and life is the biggest joke on this planet right now. I mean talk about reality shows, the entire American government would be one in itself, dysfunctional, everchanging chaos amid the outrageous foibles and screw ups. The second show would be based on the American people themselves and the daily inequalities, over the top ridiculousness and the apathetic based denial that the majority of people here live by.
Mentally Ill, that is what some people tell me I am because I have problems accepting certain situations in this world.
I say BULLSHIT!
What I am is intolerant!!! I CANNOT TOLERATE:
ALCHOLICS - this addiction has brought much destruction in my life,(and I suspect yours too) encompassing physical, mentally and emotionally. Them not me, were the drinkers, my parents, friends, lovers, the people I needed for love and support, let me down and left me in the cold.
RACISM -
I DO NOT SEE COLOR WHEN I AM WITH YOU, WHEN I MEET YOU, WORK WITH YOU, GET TO KNOW YOU, VALUE YOU AS A PERSON, I SEE ONLY ANOTHER HUMAN BEING LIKE MYSELF!!
America and Americans are basically VERY RACIST PEOPLE!!!!!!
wHAT DID SHE SAY? Yea u heard me, probably even you, are some of the worst racists on the planet. White racists, black racists, teenager racists, hell we even have children racists in this country. Americans show bias in almost every action we take in this country on every level from children on up. What we are biased ABOUT is the changing face. Race, sexual orientation, gender are good examples for now. Yea I know you say we have laws against that, SO FUCKING WHAT, we have laws against a lot of bad things but the bottom line of reality is laws do not make people abide by them. I do not believe enforcement from the get go is the answer to people abiding either. I believe you have to find the way through awareness and honesty of the true value of laws and there real purpose. Most people will defy laws today for many reasons but I think all those reasons can be boiled down into just a few core reasons. One being, people do not understand fully or accept their own responsibility for themselves or the actions they take upon others or influence others. For these denialists, laws are for other people, not them. Also these types of people will immediately rush to use the law ONLY when in their favor, spouting how important laws really are, blah, blah blah, but let them be on the recieving end and there tune changes beat, tempo and stratosphere. I cannot stand to live with these selfish self serving assholes!!!!!
Mental Health, what the hell is that and who gets to decide who has it and who does not. If I do not believe your beliefs and do not live my life according to society’s “norm” then I am told that I am NOT mentally healthy. The US government is the most mentally unstable process in action in our country today. Let just take a minute to look at what goes on in our government at the same time the government is asking it’s “people” to become “GOOD” citizens.
1. Balancing a budget – our current adminsitration for 8 years now has destroyed the budget and sunk the American people into a deep pit of debt and dependence, just like the fringes of society out there, incapable of their day to day management, our collective government reflects the same inabilities as the worst crack head on the street.
As individuals, families and businesspeople, we are expected to live our lives within our means and to pay our bills on time, to live by a budget and be properous, contributing citizens giving our time and money to others/causes, but again within a budget because in our society it is deemed “responsible” to run your affairs this way.
But on the other hand, again, there is always an underlying double message that young people pick up on immediately and this is one major reason lots of young people are apathetic. They see that the grown ups running things in their world have no more idea of what to do, how to do, when to do than they themselves wrestle with. Some young people become extremely sensitive to the double standards in our society because these “standards” are affecting them or someone very close to them or maybe a role model they admire who has been affected by double standards or injustice because of the double standards. They see clearly and learn pretty quickly that the adults ”in charge” are OK with it because it is still used even when there are laws and open guidelines against it. Young people have tremendous insight and awareness than most adults will acknowledge. The perception that controlling others will bring positive results is a fallacy. Control only fosters negative processes even if the control is warranted or seen as necessary. Control of others while not controlling oneself is a prime example of a double standard played out everyday somewhere in families and work all over the world. Children in many families have little value as indiviuals and they are more about fulfilling some role or agenda the parent/adult has already made a plan about. These types of experiences tend to stifle a child’s natural gifts. This initial stifling of expression for these children will manifest negatively at different times and rates proportionate to the level of inhibition exerted upon them in their lives. Without substantial changes to real the integrity of the child’s life, the cycle will only repeat and regurgitate discombobulated youth full of betwixt and between(or they could become very militant and too definitive) and they will be easily swayed, led, influenced, you name it. The loss of self through denialism can have horrific consequences for these young lives as they continue to grow and become more mired in their confusion and misunderstandings. Sadly, if our society has it’s continued way with things, these young people will soon see the deep divide of what WE SAY as opposed to WHAT WE DO and they too will be on the path to self destruction possibly, or they may choose to vent their anger against others thinking this will make a change. (We see this with Columbine, Virginia Tech) Granted these indiviuals were in the extreme, but they had lost all hope in there lives, hope for a place that is based on truth and justice and equality. You know, the stuff some people think they have and the stuff some people realize will never be.
