What can you say in today’s society? Well you can’t say anything that might “offend” someone or hurt someone’s “feelings”. If you do you are immediately written off and labeled a Bigot.
Fascinating isn’t it…the ones complaining about their “freedom” or “rights” they are being denied; are most often the ones trying to silence someone else’s freedom or rights to say what they want.
Let’s look back in history shall we? And we only have to look in the last 100 years. Who is the most famous for this type of tactic…? Well I will give you a hint……… he is dead now… he was white… (Any guesses yet? … No? ) … he had a silly mustache… and spoke fluent German. …..Oh yeah he was involved and possibly also caused the 2nd World War……… oh and killed a whole bunch of those “jewish people”… oh yeah and the war itself……killed somewhere in the neighborhood of about 60 million people…
If you haven’t guessed by now….it is Adolf Hitler. If you didn’t guess it… you are as dumb as poop. Stop watching T.V., playing video games, and voting for the “next American idol”, and slow down long enough to read a book. Try something that is not fiction. I know elves and magic swords are cool and everything; but you might trying to live in the real world for a change.
But I digress…………………Hitler, had a great propaganda machine. He also said “ By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell -- and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.” (Can you say Obama)
Are those in the “agenda driven” media of today buying into a Hitler mentality? Are you able to see where things you knew to be “true” sometime ago are now “not true”? When did truth change? When did black become white, and white became black? Who is the one (or are the ones) that changed it, and who are the people preaching it, and who are the fools that believe it?
The idea political correctness will help is a farce. Those who don’t like what you say, don’t have the right to keep you from saying it. I believe that too many people mix up the right of “freedom of speech” with a idea that has evolved in the recent years, but has no basis other than peoples feelings… freedom to be heard.
Sadly I looked at wikipedia… and found a lot of bigotry I didn’t even knew existed. Mainly because I don’t care. But also because I don’t care what you think about me either. You can say what you want…but that doesn’t make it true. You can hate me because of what or who I am. You can hate me because I’m white, or you can hate me because I’m black, or you can hate me because I’m Native American. All of which matters not to me. Because I know who I am and I am secure in who I am. And the fact that your opinion doesn’t matter to me.
Here is a list of the things that you can be bigoted against…
Ableism – you hate handicaps
Adultism – you hate kids
Ageism – you hate people who are a different age than you
Anti-Americanism – you hate America
Anti-Catholicism – you hate Catholics
Anti-Mormonism - you hate Mormons
Anti-Polish sentiment - you hate Pollocks
Anti-Protestantism – you hate Christians
Anti-Semitism - you hate Jews
Biphobia - you hate bisexuals
Chauvinism – you hate women
Chronocentrism – you hate your ancesters
Classism – you hate people from another class (do we still live in a class system? I’m confused?)
Discrimination – Uhhhhhhh….…
Hate group – again uhhhh…….
Heterophobia – you hate straight people
Homophobia – you hate homos
Islamophobia – you hate muslims
Misandry –you hate boys (men)
Misogyny – you hate girls (women)
Narcissism –you hate everyone but yourself
Nazism – you hate everyone who is weak, or not white
Racism – you hate other peoples skin color
Religious persecution – self-explanitory
Religious intolerance - again self-explainitory
Reverse Discrimination – switcheroo discrimination
Sectarianism – you hate groups of people that are different
Sexism – you hate sex (just seeing if you are paying attention) You hate others sex.
Stereotype - is a simplified and/or standardized conception or image with specific meaning, often held in common by one group of people about another group. (I’m not sure what that means)
Supremacism – you think that your race is supreme…kinda like hitler
Transphobia - you hate “transgendered” guys/girls-ish people
Xenophobia – you hate strangers…or strange people
My head hurts … if you don’t like one of these groups, or you think that a certain one is not right, you are a bigot…
In fact they had more things that you can be bigoted against than I even know were there to begin with.
Why do people not want the truth? Oh yes, the truth hurts. Nothing like pouring salt on an open wound, right? (lemon juice hurts too, just in case you ever wanted to try that one)
I hate no-one person, or lifestyle, or religion. Some people don’t get that because they have hate, and can’t understand why others don’t also have hate. I believe in wrong and right.
What it boils down to is -- moral relativism, or situational ethics. The idea of nothing is iron clad – wrong or right. Whatever is right for you may not be right for me. BS.
Which way is north? It is not relative. Does gravity remain a constant? It is not relative. Which way is up? It is not relative. What is 2 + 2 ? It is not relative.
Why then, when there are absolutes, do we continue to say there are no absolutes. Which is really funny, because the statement; “There are no absolutes” IS an absolute.
Silly idiots.
Here is a little bit of info that you may or may not know……
Any civilization that wholly embraces homosexuality, NEVER survives. There is no grey area on this one. Let me clarify… it does NOT have anything to do with homosexuality. It has to do with the moral relativism and sin in general. If you can’t say something is wrong or right, or whether something is a sin or not. Not only will the idea or sin itself to fester unchecked, but resentment about it (on both sides) will also go unchecked. And those two items are like baking soda and vinegar.
In our culture, moral relativism has taken hold of us, and not in a gentle way… it has a death grip on us. We must be able to speak freely. Without fear of retribution on either side of the isle…
Now I am not saying that what you say will not have consequences. Not at all. But you should not be destroyed, or thrown under the bus, because of your point of view. Some people will point out someone like the dixi chix as “retribution” when it is not. They are recording artists that sell a product. If people don’t want to buy their items because they don’t like them. That is not retribution. Retribution would be the record label canceling their contract, because of what they said. Retribution is the firing of Imus, because someone didn’t like what he said, If he has offended his audience they will fire him, and they will stop listening, and then when his ratings drop, he will no longer have a desirable product to sell.
Think for yourself. Be open to the statements of others. Don’t sell your self out. Don’t sell out for someone else’s opinion of you.
