Has anyone ever been maced trying to ask someone the time? since when was this country so damn paranoid? remember in the old movies where the guy walks into the store, takes what he wants, and puts the money on the counter? i wanna be able to do that without being called a thief! but this generation was born and raised on the paranoia of our parents, and its going to get worse. i wanna be able to help the old lady cross the street without being beaten down with her cane. i wanna be able to talk to a woman without being called a perve. i wanna be able to smile at a stranger and say good day without being looked at like im a friggin crackhead. when did this world turn black. i wake up in the morning and watch the news and all i taste is ash. all i see nowadays is horrible things happening in the world. when did we get so focused on being pessimistic, "look at all the wrong and bad things happening in the world today". im sick and tired of it. speaking of the news, i was watching the news the other day, and a piece about a ritualistic dolphin slaughter in japan came up. this ritual has been performed for thousands of years before coming to our attention, and now we want to do something about some dolphins that arent even on the endangered species list? since when were we allowed to pass judgement on a civilization that's been doing this for longer than america has been america?! why can we tell a country to stop killing dolphins when we are killing our own flesh and blood before it's even born?! that's right, i said it, abortions. how can we judge a country that kills dolphins (and eats them as well), when we are killing our own children before they're born? we cant, simple as that. american society says that it's wrong to kill animals when our main source of income is FAST FOOD. hello, ever had a hamburger? its cow, and thousands of cows are killed every day, and guess what? I LOVE MY STEAK, I LOVE MY HAMBURGERS, AND I LOVE MY FRIED CHICKEN! so how is it that we can kill thousands of animals a day, and they cant kill a few dolphins every year? but dont think i actually support the slaughtering of dolphins, ive had some experiences where these creatures have displayed an intellect higher than that of some people i know. these creatures are an amazing and compassionate species. this world is going to change and it will keep changing, hopefully for the better. hopefully, maybe someday, life might become simpler, but guaranteed its not going to happen anytime soon.

You love your fried chicken, hamburgers, and hate abortion.
Go get educated.
Me.
watch the news more douchebag
gee man get with the program.
times are changed and theyre going to keep changing.
nothing can possibly go back to just being soo simple, in fact i dont really know a time in my life that has been "simple".
i think a lot of peole have every right to being paranoid about strangers, since i mean isnt that what we were once taught, "Dont talk to strangers!" ?? cause i dont know but personally, im not going to trust just anyone off the streets, especially in todays society.
But hey, i do agree with the abortion being totally wrong, and killing a dolphin, but whatever dude, some things just dont make sense these days now do they?
I guess just keep wanting and wishin' but good luck! ;)
so true about the paranoia thing, after all, you grow up with the words "dont talk to strangers". but hey this blog is just for that damn scholarship :) and yes. times will constantly change, but hopefully for the better
its actually legal to get an abortion in Japan aswell.
i know, but has our media done any pieces on japan performing abortions at an alarming rate? not that i know of
There is something that binds us all, the sad part is that we are still to stupid to figure out what common sense means.
There are many reasons on why it isn’t such a good idea to disturb dolphins, to kill them is plain stupid and a good example of how retarded some societies can resume to stay, all this in time’s wherein having straight access to all the knowledge there is to know about dolphins.
Apart from being extremely intelligent, dolphins are emotional creatures, they carry a lot of similarities in regard to elephants and therefore it is not very wise to bring trauma into their habitat. Over the centuries there have been many cases of dolphins that rescued people from various scenarios in which without their help these people would had perished.
This is actually quite amazing if one take’s a minute to think about it.
Changes are occurring in this behavior, need I say, if you hit a dog long enough, eventually he will bite, not necessarily you, but THE DOG will bite! It is not wise to abuse intelligent life forms because they remember and reorganize themselves throughout the education of their youngsters.
From what I read I understand your concern and point of view, and I can only agree, but!
There are various reasons why we are not lingering in some old movie anymore.
The paranoia you see around you is the effect of what is being inflicted upon our lives on a daily basis. Throughout the various channels of media enormous amounts of information are being shoved inside our heads. On top of that ALL you see on TV is prepared like a meal you didn’t cook yourself, even if you don’t like it, you are eating it, it affects your identity, personality, look, friends and more important to the individuals (puppeteers) that provide your mind food on a 24h situation, It strongly affects your opinion and state of mind!
I can only say, that’s the whole plan! A plan called “mind control” especially created and designed for us.
This manipulation of mind has been put in place in order to break (take away) your concept of (real) reality in order to make you and everyone you know a slave they can (ab)use depending on what their personal goals are.
The struggle of understanding and comprehension in regard to your surroundings is exactly what’s eating you inside making you want to puke it all out because you don’t like what you see,………. YET! You’re not sick enough yet, but you are already venting what makes you sick, right here on this platform.
Everyone is getting affected by it! Therefore things are the way you perceive them, many amongst us on this globe are already with one leg upon the endangered species list and more will follow if people don’t wake up from this charade.
If ever in your life you want to be able to do stuff from the old movies, you will need to cut loose from this manipulation that slowly drags you into this paranoia. In order to give form to a reality that fit’s your thoughts there is a need to look and walk the other way, a need to step out of the herd you dislike so much. Not everything that happens in the world is horrible, but that’s what you are being fed with!
Few months ago I met an American girl that came straight from the airport, dropped her luggage at the hotel and came to work. She had never been in Europe before.
She was scared, confused, thought everyone hated her because she was American and carried a ton of misconceptions about the surroundings she found herself in. The fact that she was funny as hell it was easy to pop that balloon of fear she was in, it got popped within the first 3 days she was amongst our midst.
It took us 3 days to give an answer to the zillion questions she was shooting at us, lol. She had an amazing and wonderful time during the whole of her stay because the concept of her reality had changed for the better. This change of reality is not only to be found in Europe, one can find it in no matter what place were common sense rules in the hearts of people.
It does not matter how people look at you, pay importance not to reflect or mirror what you don’t like see or believe to see in people’s faces…
Stay cool ;-)
your level of intelligence is surprising, not many people here in america wouldve responded like you did. and i completley agree about not killing the dolphins, (those dolphin cruises help alot lol) the simple fact of the matter is, this generation was born and raised on paranoia. thank you for your intellect
I only want to encourage your generation to discover what’s out there while creating a better understanding of the abundance of possibilities that are yours only.
What do you see or visualize when you imagine or carry thoughts of better life and world?
i want to say no crime but i know that'll never happen, even with something out of "Minority Report". i see a world where we no longer have to watch our kids playing in the front yard to make sure nobody steals them. i see a world where the psychotic freaks are that of generations past. the list is too long to write, and doubt fills my mind as to if this will ever happen
Do you believe, when I tell you there are millions of people out there that carry that same whish you carry inside, myself included?
It is difficult to see or find a way that is helpful in order to change the image and content of our surroundings, but you need to understand many people are working right now in order to come up with adequate solutions to bring a change.
Therefore it is important we all keep holding on to that desire for a change, it makes us all together to become an important aced to support solutions when they are being brought to light.
So if you can not fix what is happening outside your doorstep, don’t worry to much about it, but support the one’s that are putting effort into fixing it.
Follow who and what you are, your purpose in life is not to get affected but to achieve whatever is awakened by your inner desire to pursue.
So put your focus upon yourself in order to affect your surroundings with the same desires that you carry inside, don’t allow fear to control your emotional state.
You are part of a solution to solve something which is not your responsibility or fault, keep that desire to want different and better, don’t ever give it up, never!
Have and carry faith that you are not alone in the whole of this situation that will eventually solve itself even without your help!
Just go your way trough life making sure you don’t become a part of the problem and try to enjoy it while you are here.
Be cool, stay cool… ;-)
