I come out of hiding to post a rant. That's how I roll.
Note to self, don’t get into debates with Facebook friends, especially those you graduated high school with. I know our school wasn’t the greatest but I managed to graduate with the ability to type in complete sentences.
All I wanted to do was say a few things about the shooting in Colorado. I’m sad about it, I truly am. I’m sorry for the families and all the pain they’re enduring right now, but I’m more pissed off that shit like this keeps happening. I made a comment about how maybe the right to bear arms is a little unnecessary, considering as a society we’ve proven that we’re incapable of handling the responsibility.
If we can’t take guns away completely, then we need to make it a LOT harder to get them. Fewer guns, more restrictions on who can have permits, more surveillance on people who have guns - checks to ensure they’re stored properly, that they’re being used properly. If you can’t prove that you’re responsible enough to own a gun, you get your guns taken away. We need to punish all the spoiled children in this country who cling to their ~precious rights~ and hide behind them like cowards until they understand the responsibilities that come with those rights.
People kill each other for the stupidest reasons, because of the color of their skin, who they’re attracted to, the clothes they wear, whether they’re a man or a woman or somewhere in between. What’s the point? Are you that insecure with yourself that you have to go and kill someone else because they don’t fit your ideal of what a person should be?
I’ve been thinking to myself SO much lately that I’m so fucking tired of being told I have to care about everyone, that I have to be sympathetic and give a shit. It pisses me off that I DO care. I do give a shit, I just don’t need to go shouting it off the rooftops and shoving it in everyone’s faces. I just wish that everyone else in the world would just stop being so fucking obsessed over what everyone else is doing so the advocates can shut the fuck up.
I feel like the people that are speaking up and caring, it really feels like they’re doing it because they want everyone to see them caring and giving a shit, and they want everyone to like them because of it. It doesn’t feel genuine to me. I can’t care without making it seem genuine, so I just act like I don’t give a fuck. I hate everyone, I don’t care if you’re straight, gay, black, white, or fucking polka dotted. Everyone sucks, myself included. Doesn’t mean I think everyone should die, and it sure as fuck doesn’t mean I’m gonna grab me a gun and bust into somewhere and shoot everyone. No amount of anger is worth that.
Instead I’ll just fire up the Sims 3 and mess around with some pretend lives. :)
