The most Frightening Thing I have ever seen

Jesus Camp.

This is a documentary about the evangelicals, specifically, this one group that preaches exclusively to children about 'the word of God'. The film focused on this one camp that took place once a year for three weeks. It's purpose was to teach the children how to be good Christians.

That sounds fine, if you want to believe in such things, but unfortunately, the resulting film showed me the true horrors that are being placed on the heads of these poor children.

These children are brainwashed. You can see it in their eyes, and their mannerisms, and how they talk. Everything that comes out of their mouths has been drilled into their cerebral cortexes by these ministers, and their parents. The film claims that a majority of these children are home-schooled, so they can receive a proper Christian education. Unfortunately, that education is wrong. It teaches them not to seek answers as to how the world works, but to realize that the answer to all questions is God and Jesus did it. It is teaching ignorance and worse, hate. These children are being to taught not to love thy neighbor, and acceptance(like what Jesus would have wanted). Instead, they are being taught to hate those who are different from them. They are told to hate gays, liberals, and anyone who believes in evolution.

This is happening worldwide with any radical religion. The lady preacher, a round, creepy woman who feels that Harry Potter is evil(more on that later), believes that if radical Islam is indotrinating their children to be suicide bombers, then why shouldn't the evangelicals be doing something similar. Preparing these children to be warriors of God goes against anything Christian as is my understanding of the religion. I am not Christian. I am nothing. When people ask if I believe in God, I say I don't know. None of us knows. If you believe the religions then you know that we were apparently given free will. So, why then do most choose to throw that free will out the window and become enslaved to these religions that are trying to control what you say and do. Now, in some cases(No murder, no stealing, etc) this is not a bad thing. But, in the case of Jesus Camp, what was going on with these children was simply and purely wrong.

It is too bad that there are no real grounds for emotional abuse in child abuse cases, then perhaps these kids could be removed from their idiot parents, and then maybe have a chance to have a normal childhood. When you begin to tell these kids at ages 6-7 that they are wicked sinners, and are going to go to hell for what they have done, you are severely fucking their little minds up. What sins has a child of that age committed? Who decides what are sins? It used to be God, but not to these evangelicals. They use their beliefs as an excuse to push their radical political agendas through. And so far, it has worked. Look at who is in the White House. According to the film, Bush is the second coming of Jesus essentially.

Speaking of political agendas, in the film, the camp brings in this special lecturer to teach the kids about being Pro-Life. These kids do not understand the true issues behind that argument. But, this camp USES these kids to push this agenda. It was horrifying to witness these kids being told about how 50 million of their friends were murdered. Then, the kids had red tape put over their mouths to promote the Pro-Life stance, and were brought down to Washington DC to stand in the freezing cold outside of the Capitol building to pray. How is that not child abuse, and illegal is beyond me. All I know is that is was wrong and is wrong to use children to push a political agenda.

You know who also used children like that? Hitler. He created the Hitler Youth for a similar purpose. Just ask the Pope about that one.

Back to Harry Potter. This dumpy preacher lady claimed that if Harry Potter were real, he would have been put to death for being a witch. How very Christian, no? So, rather than deal with the real issues, this lady decides to pick a fight with a fictional character from a children's book series. Harry Potter is not real, and the only threat he poses to children is just as fictional as he, or Jesus is. Harry Potter gets kids to pick up books and read, maybe it gets them to keep reading, and learning, and thinking for themselves. One kid said that he does not get to watch the films due to the witchcraft, but his father lets him watch them at his house anyway. Functional family, no?

Fortunately, the Jesus Camp that was shown in the film has been shut down for other events. The threat still looms out there. Our children are going to grow up as mindless slaves in a country that is defined by its freedoms and its free thinking. Watching this film made me angry to the point of being physically ill, and yet, I could not look away.

Welcome to the Suck

With the world getting shittier and shittier by the day, is it really that hard to believe that the people who are blessed with the talent to create and entertain us are going on strike, and abandoning the very people that they REALLY work for?

the hollywood writers are now on strike. they want more money from DVD sales and other items. What this means for you: All late night talk shows are now going on repeats, as they write their scripts daily. Most TV shows, like the sitcoms and dramas, are now going to have to rely on stockpiled scripts until the strike is resolved, OR they run out.

This means that your favorite shows are now going to be reaching rushed conclusions, or cliff-hanger endings, of which the payoff might not come for months, thus affecting ratings, and quality of the programs. The last strike lasted for five and a half months in 1988. Of course, this was way before DVD was invented, and in case you had not been inside a Best Buy, TV on DVD is a huge industry. Shows that were not even that popular are now coming out on DVD! So, does it make sense that the writers get a large piece of that puzzle?

The other issue at hand is that internet, which is such a quagmire of legal issues to this day. How does one proceed with defining who earns what from the net? With Free television, like that you see on the big networks, like NBC, ABC, etc., once the program has aired on TV, it becomes public domain, and thus is owned by everyone. If you want to watch it on the internet, you can on the network's websites, BUT, if a site like YouTube plays a clip of that show, they will be sued for copyright infringement. Does this make sense? Yes, if that site is making any money from ad's on that site while someone watches that programs. This is how that breaks down. I can watch Journeyman on NBC. I can tape Journeyman. I can show that tape to a friend. I can let my friend borrow that tape. I cannot sell that tape to my friend(Watch the FBI warning before all films). I cannot make any money from the borrowing of that tape at all.

The writers feel that their residuals they receive from the internet are a joke. They want money EVERYTIME someone replays a show on the internet. So, that means they get X amount of dollars each time someone watches a program. What this then does is drives up the rates that the network has to charge the advertisers who play their ads EVEN online during the shows in order to pay for the residuals, which then leads to shows with higher production costs being pushed aside, or having their budgets reduced, driving down the quality of those shows.

I don't have the answers. These are just my views on the situation. I am not in Hollywood. I have a background in the industry, so I know how shows run firsthand. I am not some asshole bitching about how things are. The trickiest aspect about this strike is going to be the internet residuals. The internet is still a newer media, and all the legal precedents for it have not been worked out yet.

It just sucks that I now have not many options to distract myself from the pure chaos in the Middle East and the shitty world that our president has gotten us into. Pakistan is ready to implode. China's economy is going to take over the global markets. Russia is puffing out its chest at us AGAIN. Iraq is a hellhole. There is genocide in the Sudan. Famine. Disease. Rosie O'Donnell. And now, I don't have the Daily Show to keep me informed and entertained.

It all seems rather unimportant when there are people ACTUALLY suffering.

Check this site out for more info:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/05/writers.strike/index.html

if i didn't know any better, i would swear that our president is being less than honest with me

how can i come to such a conclusion?

Check this story out:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070913/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_iraq

In this story, Bush says that the leaders in Iraq have "have asked for an enduring relationship with America."

really??

now, check out this story from the BBC, a news division that does not fuck around:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6983841.stm

can you see the difference? According to those IRAQIS polled by the BBC, the overwhelming majority of them want us out YESTERDAY. they even go so far as to say that the suicide attacks on our troops are justified!

you know what this means? Bush is turning our country into an abusive relationship! sure, we say that we will leave Iraq if they hits us one more time.... But, they were sooo sincere when they apologized. All those car-bombings were just a one time thing, and besides, weren't we asking for it, just a little??

and guess what? There are people out there who are more concerned with how badly Britney Spears tanked her 'comeback' performance on Sunday. Have you seen that little asshole on YouTube? What the Fuck? Someone needs to hit that guy with a frozen leg of lamb a few dozen times so he can get the smallest grasp of reality.

Mike Gravel is right, we are simply getting fatter and dumber. Guess what? Nobody seems to give a shit. In the meantime, Russia is testing bombs that will evaporate all that fat goo from our bodies and dissolving their governments. People, we need to wake up and realize that Russia has been acting very aggressive towards us lately, ever since Bush started in with that missile defense bullshit again. Now, they have regular patrols of bombers flying around, and they are positioning themselves to become a military might once again. Is it all just for show, or should we be worried? Between them and China, I would be worried.

Our Foreign Policy is a fucking joke. It will take decades to rebuild and restore our country's name in the eyes of the world. Thank you very much, Mr. President.

What matters to me? I just want to start my life, get a decent job, and not be swimming in debt from sources like paying 30 fucking dollars to gas up my car twice a week.

Where's Captain America when you need him?

Oh, right. You bastards KILLED him!!! Now we are stuck with fucking Iron Man to save us all. I hate Iron Man!

more random thoughts spilled onto the internets

so check it, i have no idea how my job is going to react when i leave at the end of october. no clue. i will have only been there for five, almost six months when i head off for texas. do you think that they will be pissed? that they wasted all this time training me just to have me leave? was that unemployment asshole right to be a complete dick to me?

yes, thomas e brown, center coordinator, i am talking about you. you were a major asshole to me, and i did not appreciate it. fuck you.

i hate my desk at work. it is covered in dust, and is very uncomfortable to sit at. plus, it is literally two feet from the bathroom, so i have the pleasure of listening to people drop anchor and pee all day.

awesome.

it's no wonder i blast my music so fucking loud, so i do not have to hear the hot asian chick push out a turd that would choke a python.

so, whenever i take something from my pantry, i usually try to leave the empty box in the pantry, if i have taken the last food item. why? simple. let's say the next person comes along, maybe they are humming to themselves a little bit. so, Hummie-McGee comes to the pantry, looking forwards to eating a delicious treat. They reach into the box, and BAM!

they come up with nothing. the disappointment and dispair set in, and their ENTIRE day is ruined.

you people make me sick. i heard that a new fantasy is starting to become all the rage in the sack. some of you people like not only to pee on each other, but now you are starting to pee IN each other. just stop and take a good long look at yourself.

i'll wait....

ok, now. if you feel that there is something in your life that is missing, and that something is to have someone piss inside one of your orifices, mainly your asshole or batcave(if you are a chick or a post-op trannie), then here is what I would like you to do. i want you to get a piece of wood and drive a nail into it, so that the other end of the nail is clearly sticking out of the other side. now, i want you to take that same board, and begin to slowly insert the nail into your peehole.

pee in me. there is something that you never expect anyone to say. unless you are thomas e brown. i bet he likes to get peed in.

here is the thing, that pee is NOT going to stay in there. the pee-e is going to have to squirt that shit out eventually. and who really wants to piss out of there asshole?

again, it bet it is someone i know....

long time coming

yeah, i know. it's been two months since i last had anything of value to say. well, excuse me all to hell for being busy with living.

it is a dangerous time we are living in. that is a phrase that i am sure that you all have heard time and time again for the last six years. but, guess what? it is not going to get any better, any time soon. in fact, it is going to get as bad as it has ever been. why? because there is no one who has either the balls or the power to stand up to our dear president.

he is gone in about a year or so. this is when he is the most dangerous. he can, and IS going to do whatever he feels like doing, because, quite frankly, he knows that there is no one who is going to do anything about it. the democrats STILL cannot get their acts together on anything. they couldn't even get a fucking no-confidence vote for alberto gonzalez, a man who has blantantly and repeatedly lied to congress and the american people about the dismissal of the attourneys. among other things, he called the constitution 'quaint'. he is nothing more than a mexican nazi, and if the vote went through, that asshole president will not fire him or demand his resignation. why? because he is in charge, and he makes the decisions. it is HIS government.

excuse me while i open a window, the hubris is getting too thick.

the government is not HIS. it is the PEOPLE's, for and by them. if they would stop tearing up the constitution for two seconds and actually read the fucking thing, they would see that. not that it matters. our nation's reputation throughout the global community has been damaged to the point of no return. don't you think it discomforting that the majority of the world does not like us? that our president does not want to do anything to help our planet's environment? this fucking guy does not know what he wants to do, except to wash his hands of the whole thing. he CANNOT wait until there is someone else to clean up the mess he created. he has been this way his whole life.

furthermore, our troops are stuck fighting an enemy that is getting harder to define. who are we fighting this week? al-qaeda? the sunni insurgents? the taliban? these are enemies that fight us with guerilla warfare, and it is killing our people and the innocents that get caught in the middle. the innocents do not seem to blame the IED and suicide bombers that much, just us, creating more hostilities and more problems. it is a question of extreme vulgar arrogance to think that a Christian country can bring peace to a region that has been warring for centuries, and whose relgious beliefs contrast our nations entirely. it is too bad that people are lead around by their faith like dogs. if there was no organized religion, a lot of the world's problems would be solved. wars are fought for a few reasons: pussy, money, religion, and fear.

get this, check out this news link:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6824206

this pisses me right the fuck off. it is not that i am a friend to the gay man. i simply do not care about what sex a person likes to fuck. it is really not in my personality measuring tool when i am dealing with people. what ever makes people happy is fine with me. i like pussy, it makes me happy. if a gay man likes man ass, then so be it. go get that man ass. but, this is ridiculous. these translators are vital to winning this war. not just because they can translate what the enemy is saying, but because they can teach this skill to our troops, so they in turn, can communicate with the non-combatants in these areas. communication is the first step towards understanding and tolerance. if two groups of people cannot speak to each other, the chances of innocent people getting hurt goes up, and so does the hostile feelings. the article clearly states that we do NOT have enough of these translators. so, instead of having a gay man potentially stop the creation of more suicide bombers, we now have created a vacuum in communication between our people and theirs.

nice going Department of Defense. Way to go W.

if you a citizen of this country, you are ENTITLED to all the rights that come with it(unless you were not born here, then you cannot become president) why should a person's sexual preference take away from those rights? or the color of their skin? or their religion? it shouldn't and it cannot. what the department of defense is doing goes against everything this country stands for, but it is technically, legal. if a gay man or woman wants to serve their country, let them. we could use the help. i would rather have a gay man capture Bin Laden, then allow that cocksucker kill thousands more innocent people, wouldn't you?

yeah, this blog is not funny. so what? i got beefs with things, and it pisses me off that nothing can or is being done about it.

Now THAT's a Cankle! Where does the calf-fat end and the ankle fat begin?

life is nothing but a series of sandwiches people. deal with it.

i saw the funniest commercial on TV the other morning, because I am unemployed. i get to watch TV all day and night. it is like being in prison, minus the bleeding asshole. So, the commercial took place on a golf course. these four guys were golfing, and one guy was getting ready to tee off, when someone from off-camera yells out "Fore", the guy then gets hit right in the stomach with a golf ball. Fast forward to the course, the guy is lining up a shot for the green, and another guy yells out "Fore!", and the same guy gets hit right in the small of his back, right on the spine. Fast forward one more time, and the same scenario occurs, with the guy taking a golf ball to the arm. this time he gets all pissed off, and hurls his golf club away in frustration, while his golfing buddy tries to calm him down.

cue the announcer, and what are we selling????

hearing aids.

the guy was deaf.

how brilliantly funny is that??? and it is a real dick-ish commercial too. this was running at 11:00 in the morning during the Price is Right.

speaking of the Price is Right, why do they torture me with all these shitty pricing games, when all I really want to see is some god-damn Plinko? Or that game where the Yodel guy falls off the cliff. No, instead I get real shitty games. And why is it that they allow the one-dollar higher bidding? that is the biggest asshole move you can do on that show. if someone did that to me, i would take them over to the Big Wheel, andshove them underneath it, and spin.

if it doesn't go all the way around, it doesn't count.

if you haven't seen Dead Silence yet, then I think that you are just a little Bi-Curious.

i am still unemployed, which is enough to drive me to drink. I am a college graduate. My IQ is 132(which is Superior level people. Einstein was well over 160 himself), and the best i can hope for in this area is to get a job at a supermarket, who pays barely minimum wage. not to say that my old job was amazing and the be-all end-all, at least I made decent money. right now, the moving to Austin fund is quite stagnant. i need to get money coming in, so I can save up. unemployment only pays me 400/week, and they did not even pay me last week, because I was out of town. I hate taking their money. I fucking hate it. I feel dirty and worthless doing it, and if i wanted to feel dirty and worthless in terms of getting money, i would have either gone back to work at Wal-mart or become a man-whore.

whatever you do, if you go to austin, never eat at the TGI Fridays that is on 10000. we ate there and it did something to me. something unnatural. it made my poo smell like the food that i had just eaten. it is like the whole digestive process was rendered null and void. my farts smelled like chicken tenders. i do not know what they did to me, but that shit is not right.

what are they doing to my "24"? the show has taken a very wrong turn the past couple of weeks, starting with the introduction of super agent "ricky" schroder, of silver spoons fame. he is the most annoying character on the show. the characters that we have come to know and love, jack, chloe, bill buchanan, have all taken a backseat to storylines that no one really cares about. jack has not really done much the past few weeks, except play big brother to some poor retarded chap in order to get information about some terrorist. c'mon people, you won the emmy for best show last year, which was well-deserved, as it was the best season next to season 2, and kiefer won the best actor award. where are the twists and turns that we have not expected? what happened to charles logan? is he dead or what? where is jack's father? c'mon people. with shit like this, it is no wonder that my current favorite show is "prison break" now there is a show that hits you with some interesting plot twists. not to mention "lost", which i still find to be a great show. people bitch too much. only i get to bitch about this shit, because i know how it all works, fuckers.

maurice

i think that is high past time that I came out with both guns blazing.

i have held my rage in check for too long .

i am going to tell you now, in detail, the facts that you may not have known about the man known as maurice.

maurice is a name for child molestors, by the way.

maurice was born around the same time as the universe.

did you know that maurice threw stones at jesus, and that he performed oral sex on him after he was dead?

maurice once tried to shoot president mckinley, but that guy died in office, so he ended up shooting his corpse.

maurice's first sexual experience came when his wagon of offal(that is poop to the uninformed) stopped short one day, and he flew, penis-first into the anal cavity of his beast of burden. the donkey then became his first wife, and they had several half-donkey, half-maurice children.

maurice has never known the pleasure of another woman's touch without having to pay first, or without the woman being unconscious.

maurice's penis is so old, he pisses embalming fluid

did you know, that for centuries, whenever someone would take a shit, they would call it "birthing a maurice"? its' true. maurice's mother, Maurice, was pregnant with him for a record 33 months. while most women back before reading, and personal hygiene became the norm would not survive childbirth, maurice's mother, Maurice, did not even realize that she was pregnant to begin with! well into her 11th trimester, she went outside of her adobe hut to take a squat in a very nice hole that she dug with her bare hands. two hours later, she turned around to bury her business up, and low and behold, there he was:

a pure white mud-baby, that she dubbed Maurice # 2.

for extra money during the depression, maurice would sell shoelaces to sailors. and by shoelaces, i of course mean his mouth.

maurice still thinks that the earth revolves around the sun.

when maurice dreams, his legs shake like a dog's, AND, he has to use rubber sheets because he is having control problems at his age. but hey, let's see how well you can control your bowels when you are 800 years old. seriously, this guy makes the Crypt Keeper look like a newborn.

for fun, maurice likes to stare at himself in the mirror. he does this for hours on end. the reason? he thinks that it is a whole other person in the mirror staring back at him, and it fascinates him.

maurice's favorite movie is 'bring it on" because it reminds him of the time that he and senator john kerry were cheerleaders together.

maurice is a medical genius, as well. he has the cure for the common cold. want to know what it is? his very own trail mix, that he makes out of rat droppings, hair, and seasons it with his own flakes of dead skin from his scalp!

maurice is so scaly, japanese people mistake him for godzilla

maurice has fathered over two hundred children in his lifetime. unfortunately, none of them have died from SIDS.


maurice actually thinks that charlton heston parted the Red Sea

maurice had a very life-altering experience when he was but a young man. he was successfully ate an entire horse, all by himself. this has sent him on his current path, because that horse's name? x-ray.

maurice has a third nipple which he calls, 'drippy', because it constantly lactates.

maurice's greatest sexual experience involved him, a jar of scented back rub ointment, three pairs of underwear(not clean), a ball-gag, two vietnamese transsexual hookers, and a bowling ball.

maurice likes to argue with the wall. he resents the sheetrock, i think.

maurice once picked a fight with two penguins over a dropped hot-dog at the zoo. he spent three months learning to walk again.
