Why ask if you don't want my answer?
For the life of me I cannot gauge why people ask me things if they don't want my honest opinion. Tonight, for example, a former navy pilot asked me what I thought was wrong in our country. I told him and I was polite about it, I used easy words and told him all the things I believe to be wrong. I told him how I felt that the world catered to the lowest common denominator, how the government and the media push to maintain the status quo. I discussed the fact that the IQ of our country was so low that monkeys with calculators would be a more fitting system of government and how it seems that stupidity rules over our land and its people. Mediocrity holds sway over us and it is a sad future we face. This all seemed to irritate him rather more than it should have and he told me I was talking down to him. I told him I couldn't help how he felt and he only felt that way because I am smarter than him. At that point he told me he could kick my ass, to which I replied,'no you can't I am also a better fighter than you and I am sober'. 'You think you can kick my ass do you', was the responce,' I was in the navy'. I took this as a question and I felt the urge to also explain that I was in full control of my physical and mental capabilities, where as he was almost tipping over. Angry was he, so angry infact that he neerly took a swing at me, an effective attack, if he was not steadying himself on a bar rail. I appologized to him for the falling down he did so fluidly and asked him to go home, sleep it off and if he remembered our conversation he could attack me at a later date, I was wholey polite abouut it. 'You California fags think you're so bad ass' he yelled, spattering me with spittle. ' I am not a Californian' I said back,'I am from Minnesota'. He suddenly became less indolent. 'You are from Minnesota'? he responded then uttered' Hey me too, go Vikings'. 'Sorry man I am a Pckers fan', this he liked not one iota.' How can you be a Packers fan'? Another query, the answer to which he also did not enjoy as I told him how I felt that the Vikings were a sad excuse for a football team and how I felt that they were destroying the ideals of my proud Scandinavian heritage. This I must admit I did soley to piss him off. Unhappy with any of my statements he mumbled incoherently and stumbled away. The man behind me asked why I did that to the fellow,' To make him use his brain', was my retort. 'I suppose you think your smarter than me then don't you'? was his rather annoying come back. I simply stated that if you must ask such questions, you already know the answer and if you don't want honesty don't ask retarded questions. This fellow also stumbled away yammering unhappily. Lies make people happy but the truth makes them scared and angry, that I believe is the downfall of humanity. If you can not face reality, stay at home and watch Americas Next Top Model or Survivor but please keep your ignorance and stupidity away from me. I don't wanna catch dumb.

That reminds me of the time a guy I worked withasked me what I thought of his girlfriend, and I went on a 5 to 10 minute rant about how stupid and irritating she was.
He agreed with me and then I suddenly realized that he hadn't asked me about his girlfriend, but the girl that worked at the desk next to her. I had already purged my irritation, so I didn't bother explaining that It was really his girlfriend that we were discussing. Besides, the guy was much larger and stronger than me. It does feel good to survive ones own honesty.
A life of honesty will either make you very strong, kill you, or do whatever it this is that is happening to me.
i have always appreciated joe's honesty even thought it may not have been what i wanted to hear at the time i knew he was a good friend for being so honest, and i have always reciprocated in full. not just to joe but to all people in my life.
now you have hit on a couple of my favorite points. first of all i pretty much agree all of what you said with one little addition. i am now paraphrasing george carlin, all wars and politics boil down to one thing, my god has a bigger dick than your god.
if the world would just outlaw organized religion the world would be a better place.
now the other thing that is seriously wrong with this country can be summed up in two words. reality telivision.
what a giant cluster fuck this idea has become. you know there are enough problems in this world we don't need to glom on to every one else's stupid theory of what they think problems are. they all suck, survivor, big brother, the real world, the girls next door, the apprtntice, american idol, the only redeeming quality about these total wastes of human skin cells is that i look at all the people in my life and think that they could be much bigger twats than they really are. but the worst one that is perpetuating the fall of western civilation is "my super sweet 16" now for all of you who haven't seen this ........ya know this show is so horrendous that discription escapes me, it actually irks me so much that i am rendered speechless.
here's the gist of the show. these preppy little princesses in beverly hills and like spots across the nation piss and moan about how terrible their life is and how much daddy should get a porsche for their birthday. some of theese girls parents wind up spending 10's of thousnads of dollars on their parties and you know their vapid ignorant unappreciative little psudo-whores don't even know how good their lives really are. i bet they never had to make the decision "do i buy milk for the kids or do i buy gas to get to work tomorrow?"
i hope they all get the clap and die a horribly painful death from the genitals out. and the sad part about this is that you can't even blame these girls 100%, it all comes down to how they were raised, i realize that it is their parents money and they can do with it as they see fit, but do they realize the damage they are doing to the children that they claim to love so much? I highly doubt it.
