Rant 02 - Abortion, Cutting, Telemarketers, Drug Abuse, and Proselytizers
IMPORTANT: Please remember that my rants are usually 100% opinion, like most rants usually are.
First topic: Abortion. Okay, personally, I'm all for abortion. I believe that if a girl doesn't want to carry a child in her stomach for nine months, she shouldn't have to. Well, actually, I think the best alternative to this whole thing is to NOT HAVE SEX IN THE FIRST PLACE! Or at least use protection, people! I mean, come on! If you don't use protection, you're asking for it. But, I'm getting off topic. Honestly, girls should have the choice of getting an abortion. Plus, what if the girl was raped? I think it'd be cruel to look some innocent 13-year-old rape victim in the eye and tell her: "Hey, you're pregnant and you get to give birth to a rapist's baby!" Can ya see the heartlessness in that?
Next topic: Cutting. If anyone can explain to me why people cut, please feel free to do so. Is it to "see your pain" or "see the redness of the blood trickle down your skin" or something really weird like that? Honestly, it's beyond me. I think cutting is ridiculous. Self-mutilation does nothing. Period. End of discussion. I used to have a friend that cut. She cut over really stupid stuff, too. Whenever someone hurt her feelings, out came the razorblade! What good does a fucking razorblade do you?! It opens up patches of your skin so nasty germs can enter your body easily, that's exactly what it does. If you cut, you need to get into some kind of therapy or something. It's for your own good.
Onto the next topic: Telemarketers. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO DIE! Not necessarily the telemarketers themselves because, well, ya gotta make a living, but I'm talking about these rich bastards that made up these companies in the first place. I'm even on the do-not-call list, and these people STILL call and try to sell crap! Of course, I don't even answer the phone when the Caller ID reads Out-of-Area, but it's still annoying to hear the damn phone ring twenty times a day! You rush to the phone, thinking it's an important call, then WHAM! Out-of-Area. Oh, another thing. Do people actually buy crap from these people?! What kind of moron would give their social security number to some weirdo that called them out-of-the-blue saying, in the usual Indian/Hispanic accent: "You want buy light bulb?!" Honest to God, I don't know who would do that! More power to you if you do, I guess.
Next topic: Drug abuse. Where do I even start with this one?! First off, don't take illegal drugs in the first place. That's the easiest way NOT to get hooked. If ya don't do it in the FIRST PLACE, then you won't know what you're missing out on in the SECOND PLACE. And peer pressure my ass! If a bunch of my friends want to go fuck their lives up by smoking thirty joints at a time just to see if they'd pass out on the floor and wake up the next morning and miraculously SURVIVE, then more power to them! Have fun! I'm not gonna take that risk, though, because unlike them, I have made plans for a nice future.
Next topic: Proselytizers. These people KILL me. You know, the ones that are always shoving religion down your throat. Personally, I believe in God, but you don't see me shoving my religion down other peoples' throats! If someone who doesn't believe in God comes to me and wants to talk and ask questions about God or something, I'm more than happy to listen. But I don't go around shoving my religious beliefs up people's asses. Also, notice something. You never see Jewish Rabbis proselytizing. Ever notice that? Not once in my life have I seen a Jewish Rabbi wearing that weird hat thing on his head walk up to some random dude on the street and yell: "GOD IS LOVE! SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP SO I CAN EXPLAIN MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS TO YOU, YA SINNER!" Can't...see...that...happening...period.
Okay, I suppose I've ranted enough. Please remember: my rants are my OPINIONS. I understand this and do not claim that my rants contain FACTS. My rants are strictly my opinions.

I am pro-choice, but this is such a stupid argument.

I have nothing against drug abusers, but I do haave something against drug dealers.
If you want a way to make money, then don't sell drugs.
Go down to a f*cking McDonalds and cook fries.
Simple as that.

Abortion: "Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare" -Bill Clinton.
Cutting: Who here has, in desperate times, gone through a whole list of ways to cope? "Welllllllll, I could try writing in my diary. Or I could cut!" Those people are in a situation where they need an escape.
Telemarketers: 100% agreed.
Drug abuse: Same as cutting.
Proselytizers: 100% agreed.

1) Thats like telling a bipolar person to control their personality. THEY CAN'T You are obviously very confused on this subject. And sweetheart, it would be extremely narrowminded to assume that all people are going to deal with stress the same way you do. There are billions of people in this world; each with their own unique way of existing. If you think because you do something, everyone can, you're wrong. I feel so sorry for you that you actually feel this way, that you're so unaware of the world around you.
2) If you actually believe that everyone has the opporunity to get a real job, you're living off in some dreamworld bubble. FYI- the world can be a sh*tty place. Theoretically, everyone should be able to get the aid they need to live a safe, productive life, but that just isn't happening. And there are multiple ways to get addicted to drugs. Like I said, some people are born addicted because of mistakes their mothers made, that isn't their fault. You really need to learn some empathy.
We have every right to be "touchy" because what you're saying is ignorant and offensive. You should think before you write things =) Or you know, at least do some research so you know what you're talking about. You're just making yourself look silly at this point.

Okay, I'm gonna add one final comment to this blog.
1) Don't cut in the first place. If you don't cut in the FIRST f*ckING PLACE, you won't have to seek help in the second place. There are many other ways to deal with stress. I used to be depressed! I didn't cut, though! I sucked it up. I dealt with my problems. I didn't sit around, piss, and moan, and stick a f*ckin' razorblade through my skin. I simply dealt with my problems by using a safer alternative: by actually working through them.
2) Drug abuse, same deal as above. Don't do drugs in the first place, then you can't get hooked on them. And as for "providing for your family" by selling drugs, well, it's illegal, number one. Find a legal job, and have at it. Selling drugs to "make a living" sets a bad example for your kids, Kurtni. Then, your kids end up growing up to be just like Mommy and Daddy, and they sell drugs as well. Drugs are a no-no, simple as that.
This rant was my OPINIONS. And yes, you have the right to disagree with them, but don't get so touchy! Jeez.

Cutting is pure ignorance.

shush person :)

I'm not arguing, I'm just trying to help you see the other side. Ignorance is bliss but not helpful.
It's not always about pain, it's about feeling and control and escape. And self-injury can be small over-doses, slapping, burning, trichotillomania, anything. It's not always about actual pain, it can be about feeling like you've done damage or controlling something.
girl almighty, June 7th, 2007 at 01:14:38pm
Well, I just don't see why people need to feel pain on the outside to release pain on the inside. I think it harms more than it helps, but I didn't mean to start an argument about it.
Letterbombx723, June 7th, 2007 at 01:11:33pm
Sometimes people can't talk yet, or their therapist isn't available or whatever. In the UK, the NHS will give you free community therapists and drugs etc., but out of hours you need to go to A&E and that's very traumatic. And speaking can't help when you feel nothing.
girl almighty, June 7th, 2007 at 01:09:19pm
Personally, I think people that are "clinically" depressed need to see a therapist or talk to someone they trust, as in a parent. Talking helps way more than cutting.
Letterbombx723, June 7th, 2007 at 01:07:31pm
Physically yes it harms, but mentally, being depressed or abused or whatever leaves much deeper scars.
girl almighty, June 7th, 2007 at 01:05:49pm
That's understandable. I suppose it becomes a habit that needs to be broken. But the fact is, one shouldn't cut. If they somehow start cutting, they need to seek help and stop because it harms, not helps.
