No way! No way in hell!
I was talking to my friend Erin recently (she's kinda dumb and also a religion freak) and she told me that I have no morals. So I jokingly asked her, "What are morals?" Of course I was kidding, but she goes and gives me some random off the wall definition that has nothing to do with anything. She said, "Morals are the things you'd never do. You have to promise yourself that you'd never do whatever it is that you'd never do." So I told her that's not what morals are. I told her that morals are your sense of right and wrong. She didn't believe me, so I went to an online dictionary, and there it was. The ability to tell right from wrong. She said, "Well, you still don't have any morals."
That's not true! I have morals, they just happen to be kind of... different than most other peoples'. Well, who cares? So I don't think swearing is wrong. Big deal! So, I'm going to put some of my more... different morals here, and you can be the judge of whether I'm right or wrong.
#1: Swearing isn't wrong. They're just words. The only reason people think it's bad is because the church decided that certain slang words needed to be said less, so they made up some random crap about God not liking swearing, and then said that you're going to hell if you do. I don't believe that God frowns upon us using words, otherwise He wouldn't have put them into our vocabulary.
#2: Masturbation isn't wrong either. I think that it's a natural bodily function and, once again, if God didn't like it He wouldn't have made it a natural thing. Here's something to back up my theory: The clitoris. What's that for? It's not for reproduction, is it? It's just there for pleasure. Sorry if you think what I'm talking about is gross, but need I remind you that you don't have to read this and this is the only "icky" one.
#3: Gambling is not wrong. We do it all the time. I really doubt that God thinks that gambling is a bad thing. I gamble sometimes, I made a bet in 4th grade, and that cheapskate Adam still owes me 10 bucks! I think that it's more of a sin to go back on a promise than it is to gamble or swear. Which brings me to my next moral.
#4: I think it is wrong to go back on a promise. You should never make a promise you can't keep. My mom promised I could dye my hair any color I want if I got highlights. Well, I held up my end of the bargain, but she dropped hers, and it shattered into a million irreplaceable pieces. What makes parents better than us? If they make us a promise they probably won't keep it, but i we make a promise that we don't keep there's hell to pay.
#5: This is my last one. I promise. I don't want to bore you any more than I have to. I think that the killing thing, how it's all wrong, is bull crap. Everyone who buys into that shit is a big fucking hypocrite, and here's why. It's only bad to kill people, not animals or bugs. If you're gonna say that killing is wrong, don't do a half-arsed job of it. And how is it wrong to kill people anytime but in war? War is killing, that's all there is to it. It's just two groups of idiots killing each other off. At least early man was more civilized. They killed for food and to protect their families from dinosaurs or whatever.
I just have one more side note: The church decides our morals for us. They break laws and their own precious rules all the time, and it pisses me off. And where do they get off telling us what God wants? They aren't God, they don't know Him, they've never met Him, so why do they keep telling us what He wants? Because they're assholes. Now, if I offended you with anything I said, I'm sorry. Don't argue with me about it, or yell at me about it. I'm sorry I really am. I didn't mean to offend anyone.
So, you know my more unusual morals, now tell me what you think. And please, don't give me the "Only you can decide if your morals are right or wrong, it's not my place to judge" crap. I just want you to tell me if you think I'm right, and I do have morals (and damn good ones at that) or if Erin's right, and my morals are seriously fucked up and I either need to see a therapist or go to church more often. Like once a month. Or, once a year. Either way it's an improvement. And if you think I'm wrong, tell me where and why you think I'm wrong. Thanks.

These all seem legit to me. And there are many people out there, as you can see, that would fully back you up in these, me being one.
Very good point about the clitoris one :) I dont think i've ever heard anyone even mention it when im talking to "non-masturbators", tho its more like debating then talking.
Anywho, responding to nina, I hate it when people pull that line on vegans. I'm not one of them, but its just a real jerk thing to do. Its like arguing with a christian about if 'god' is really there, after a while they just sound so child like that you just want to hit them, Example: I was at bible camp(my friend dragged me there, tho most of the guy councilors where Hot) and in the little groups they put us in to discuss this creature named 'god' one of the questions was "Are you still able to love without god?" And being sane, i of course said yes in which all the other bible kids gasped to. So i had to explain myself, and word by word they started loosing years in their 'points' if you can call them that, by saying things like "Well god makes your heart so its impossible to love without him." Me:"Well, actually, my parents made my heart." Them:"Well who made your parents?" Me:"My grandparents." Them:"Who made your grandparents?" etc.
So, what im trying to say is, when a vegan says something like if you kill an animal they feel the pain, so they react my yelling or making some other noise(a human trait), and the response would most likely be 'how do you know there isnt any pain felt by a plant? how do you know they dont scream?' Then That right there is taking a shortcut out of this thing, whatever it is, and just acting like a little kid, repeating themselves.
Sorry, but its just really f*cking annoying

in reply to #5
about the killing thing.... i was talking to this vegan girl and she was all like "i dont kill anything for what i eat"
and im like "so what is it that you eat?"
"plants, veggies"
"you kill everyone of the plants you eat"
"no i don't. Im Vegan. that means no killing for food"
"wow..... you are niave. you kill everytime you eat something. you are killing something"
she started crying and everything.... at least she understands it now.

you have some points.
like, i can f*cking swear as much as i f*cking want, and I can also touch myself anytime I feel like.
But on thekilling thing, animals have feelings, too.
In my opinion, people are 'animals'.
We're equal, srsly.

yea you're right. why are you friends with that girl? i'd probably end up punching her if i had to listen to preaching about morals.
and i really really don't understand what's the difference between people and animals. how are they less valuable????? srsly...
princess consuela, August 17th, 2008 at 04:06:25am
okay. i agree with a lot of it
i honestly dont think your morals are strange
i dont agree with the killing moral thing
war is war and killing is part of it. but its either kill people or be killed.
and id rather kill to be honest. and bugs and animals are really different from humans. i dont believe in killing them but i mean what other choice do we have? we need food from animals and bugs are annoying.
other than that i think your morals make a lot of sense
