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.

And a lot of them do seek help, but giving up is still difficult.

That's why I added that people who cut need to seek help. It's for their own good.

But people don't sit down and go through a list of coping strategies and go, "Oh well yes I think I'll try riding my bike and tomorrow I'll slash my wrists a bit." If you want it, it's the only thing that makes sense in your head.

Sometimes when women have sex, they decide to be mentally retarded and not use protection. These are the ones that think it's safe because they're not due to have their period for several more weeks or some sh*t. Well, sometimes the period comes sooner then one thinks. Sometimes semen stores against the uterine wall and when the egg passes on through, it gets fertilized.
As Rachel said, it's her opinion. Why attack her for that? It's about the only free willed thing we get in this country.

First off, everyone claims they have a tough life. Most of us do. But find other ways to cope! How about knitting? VERY relaxing. Taking walks? Hiking? Helping others? There are other ways to cope with problems and stress. Abusing drugs and cutting are NOT good choices. They end up hurting you more in the end.

If anyone can explain to me why people cut, please feel free to do so.
There are millions of reasons people self-harm. To take their mind off whatever they're going through, to make themselves less attractive to an abuser, to feel something 'real' in the numbness they may be experiencing - the list goes on.
Self-mutilation does nothing.
Self-injury is a coping method, like talking, shopping or whatever is. If people are having a rubbish time, they have to cope somehow, and self-harm is a way to cope. Yes it's damaging, but it keeps people alive.
Whenever someone hurt her feelings, out came the razorblade!
If you have low self-esteem or self-belief, you take things seriously and they hurt more. So what may have seemed a harmless comment to you was in fact a big slap in the face to her. Plus, self-harm urges are extremely hard to fight, so if the hurt made her want it, she may have found it very difficult not to give in.
f you cut, you need to get into some kind of therapy or something. It's for your own good.
I've been in therapy for months, take all the pills they give me and spent 5 months in a mental insititution, yet self-harm is still a coping strategy I use. I use the same example again, but it's keeping me alive. My scars mean nothing when my head's so blurry.
And with the drug abuse, a lot of the same things stand. It's a coping strategy - you take the drugs to get away from whatever mess your head's in or your life's in, and it escalates.
I know that all the blog was was your opinions, but I have to say that ignorance must be bliss, mate.

Abortion is disgusting. No woman has the right to end someone elses life because she chose to have sex. It isn't about the girls choice; she already made her choice when she chose to be sexually active. She doesn't even have to keep the baby. There are millions of people who can't have children that want them badly, and yet you have idiots needlessly killing fetuses because they're irrisponsible.
As for drug use, don't be so narrowminded! Do you think every person who gets addicted to drugs does it at their own will? No, they don't. Take a trip into new york city sometime, head down to the not so pretty part and tell me what you see.I bet you'll see a bunch of dealers just trying to provide for their kids. Some people are born addicted to drugs, that does happen you know. They can't control it, and they more than likely aren't in a situation where they can get help. It isn't like they have parents that care about them.
And sweetheart, self mutilation is a mental illness. It absolutely amazes me that you could be so narrowminded and juddgemental towards people who desperately need help. Guess what? You aren't living their lives and you have absolutely no reason at all to tell them the things that upset them are pointless. Whenever you get a degree in psychology I'll take you seriously on the subject. I usually don't comment on blogs I disagree with because I have better things to do, but seriously, you need to learn more about the world around you and become aware of whats happening in it. Being narrowminded won't get you very far. Your rants may be your opinions, but we have every right to disgree with them =)
