bin Laden gets what he had comming, but...

OK this is one of those serious posts.

Today was a good day for the world. An intolerant religious asshole of the highest caliber finally got what he had coming. The antithesis to one of the United States of America's most sacred pillars, the freedom to worship without interference from the government, is dead. The world is a safer place without him trying to ram his faith up everyone's asses at the end of some instrument of violence, even after so long, the various victims of 9-11 finally getting justice, when the bigger picture is looked at, I can't help but feel hollow. That this was nothing more than a Pyhrric victory.

Yes we finally lopped off the head of al Qaida, but what ever we did to him, killed him, put him on trial, tortured him, throw him in Guantanamo to rot the rest of his days, the damage is already done. The PATRIOT ACT still remains, there are already countless complaints about the TSA violating some right or another. Bradly Manning is still in prison without being charged with anything. The implications with that being that we as a nation are willing to deny one of our own, a Marine no less, the rule of law for the sake of security. The intolerant Christian counterparts to Wahabbi Islam are as strong as ever, feeding off fear and intolerance of Muslims generated by 9-11, and are doing more than their part to tear this country apart. Because of 9-11 they've become powerful forces that are trying to twist this country that stood as a home for anyone fleeing oppression or just wanting a better life into some warped perversion of a Christian nation for Christians. Fear whipped up after 9-11 has lead to American citizens giving up measures of freedom in exchange for some illusion of security. Because of one man's heinous attack, this country has become insane with paranoia towards Islam, a faith with more in common with Christianity than Christians realize, perhaps even more in common with Christianity than Christianity has in common with Judaism. The resulting backlash being used as propaganda by groups like HAMAS to frame the United States as anti-Muslim. And that same fear also resulting in United States citizens believing they were under-siege by an entire religious faith, and not under attack by an isolated and radical sect that hates other sects of Islam.

Bin Laden sought to destroy America, destroy our way of life. He did this by instilling fear and paranoia though a brutal attack. Just because he's dead doesn't mean it's over, doesn't mean we won. To quote Winston Wolfe "Well lets not start sucking each other's dicks just yet." So long as we remain living in some kind of fear, remain living divided and standing against each other, his legacy lives on, Osama bin Laden lives on. To wipe out his legacy, to really kill him we have to stop living in fear, we have to stop allowing ourselves to be polarized and fighting each other over ideology. Stop letting politicians manipulate us by scaring us with the phantom of another attack. Stop worrying and caring about ourselves as individuals living in a vacuum and start caring for each other as American Citizens, citizens who put their country first not Democratic-Americans and Republican-Americans who put their party and ideology first.

Only then will bin Laden be truly dead and buried. When the world can see that at the end of the day, after he hit us worse than we've ever been hit in the last 60 years, that all it did was make us stronger. That is the way to undo the damage bin Laden has done. That is the way that he will go down as a small chapter in the pages of history, as a religious fanatic who tried to scare a nation that proclaims itself a beacon of freedom for all that showed that it would not bend to his religious fervor. And not as a man driven by religious faith who stood up and frighted a super-power and turned it against itself, turned it against the very thing it sought to protect.

The Royal Wedding... an indiffrent American's persective.

Err... why should I care again? Not like he's even next in line for the throne.

I'm not even going to get into the whole bitch fest about having problems here more deserving of our attention. But I mean, seriously, why do people on this side of lake care?

When we all heard Chelsea Clinton got married we all gave a collective meh. And now here's foreign royalty, royalty who ass we kicked way back when to get independence and it's the talk of the town. Why, what does this have to do with any of us? I mean he'll go get married, then my week goes on like any other, with my lazyness and cheap-assery fighting a never ending battle against my desire for an $8 bottle of St. Sebastian Abby Ale.

Though what is it about things like this that just rivet the attention of people here. Is it the Disney-esque feel about the whole thing? That whole thing about a girl finding her prince? Maybe I'm just a cynical fucking bastard, well at least while the wedding was going on over there where all them Limey Bah-stards live, I was drinking some English ale, so cheers fuckers.

Well ok fine, as an American who respects the 2nd Amendment and recognizes the fact that the Lee Enfield is the KING of all bolt-action rifles (yeah fuck you and your Mauser shit!), it just a real shame that the Queen's Guards don't carry Lee Enfields for ceremonial purposes anymore. The Lee Enfiled is just far more elegant than the SA-80 can ever be. If the SA-80 is your Stormtrooper blaster rifle, than the Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.I would be a lightsaber.

I'm going to go watch King Ralph now.

Slow-ass Drivers

Why do you people insist on driving like 60-70mph in the fast lane? Few things on the road piss me off more than some jack-hole in the fast lane going like 60-70mph and causing a back up behind them. Why can't you road hogs get one lane over?! Is it that hard or are you just oblivious to the fact that there's aways a car tail-gating you or everyone in the slower lanes are passing you.

I don't care if you like drive at jogging speed, but don't do it in the fast lane where people drive when they need to BE SOMEWHERE. Stop being a bunch of inconsiderate asstards.

They should make freeway driving laws here like in Germany. If you're in the fast lane, driving slow as hell and causing a back up, you're the one who gets the ticket.

Alright you're probably wondering who this asshole writing this crap is, or rather what the hell is wrong with him. Well, nothing is wrong with me, this is all satirical. This is not to be taken seriously in the slightest, well I mean you can and hell maybe I'll even make some valid points in this, but it isn't the point. So what the hell is the point of this? Well, saterial, sarcastic angry, and irrelevant commentary on world gone quite insane. It's a rant, it's a bitch-session, if intellectual thought and discussion is the fine wine of civilization, this blog is the Thunderbird, Night Train, or Cisco wine.

So here's the deal, once a week I log onto this shit and go off on something that pisses me off, and every once in a while talk about something nice.

Or right, I was going to tell you who I was. Well I'm currently a 3rd year law student. Been though some hard core shit in my life, which probably has a lot to do with my deranged out look on things.

The name was inspired but the pilot episode of Ren and Stimpy, where Ren goes insane after the stress of a multi-year space mission finally gets to him.

If this shit makes you mad you're taking it way to seriously.
