Everybody, Shut the F#@% Up!

Okay, please, enough already. Everybody, everywhere... just...SHUT UP!!

There's too much noise. Too many people complaining about every little thing, that we're not even addressing the important issues. No, I am not going to talk about the important issues. This is about all of you just shutting your mouths for just a moment, and thinking. Let's have a moment of silence -- not to pray for someone, not out of respect for any one person. How about a moment of silence for the sake of the silence?

Are you racist?Seriously? Have you even looked at yourself for a moment? You are not perfect. You are balding, have a beer gut, or only 5 teeth. Your skin color is the result of certain pigmentation, brought about by the amount of sun your ancestors received over the past millennia. Get over yourself. You were not put here to judge anyone. You have too many flaws yourself to be concerned about others. Move on,and shut the fuck up.

Are you a victim of racism? Get over it. Sorry, but you are not the center of the universe either. Others aren't going to like you, and sometimes it might be for something ridiculous. Do you really think you are going to change their mind with a few properly placed words?. If you are being physically threatened or harmed, defend yourself. Call the police if you have to. Deal with the incident at hand, but stop trying to get the world to love you. It's never going to happen. Live your life for yourself and your loved ones, and move on.

Bullies, listen up. You are an asshole. You have a lot of insecurities -- maybe your mother drinks, or your dad is absent. Maybe you were picked on by your older brothers.You may have wet the bed until you were ten, or you have a small dick. Whatever it is, taking it out on someone who is scared of you is childish and frankly,cowardly. Remember, karma is a bitch, and there will ALWAYS be someone bigger and stronger than you.

Bully victims:Seriously, man up. Did he call you a fag, because you are attracted to guys? Did he make fun of your red hair, or your glasses? If it gets physical, then alert the authorities. If not, they are just words. Guess what? The world is going to bully you. If anything, the schoolyard ruffian is preparing you for life. If everyone is allowed to protect you throughout your childhood, you are not going to be prepared for life when you become an adult. Learn to stand up for yourself.

LGBT community, I love you people. Well, not in that way. But you have every right to live the way you want to live. I agree that legislation against any personal freedom is wrong. But some of you have got to stop cramming it in every one's face. You are not going to change every one's mind, and acting like a deranged freak, marching naked in the street, is not going to solve the issues. It will only serve to inflame them more, which I believe for some of you is the goal all along. The drama queens are only happy if they are the center of attention. Get over it.If you want others to accept you the way you are, then accept them the way they are, flaws and all.

Family Values advocates: SHUT THE FUCK UP! OK, I get it. You don't like the image of two men engaging in sexual acts (although I bet you enjoy lesbian porn, don't you?).You have every right to feel the way you do. But who the hell are you to tell ME how to think? Your "values" are not the same as mine, or anyone else's. We are all different, and we all have a different set of values. Don't throw your children in front of you and tell me you are doing it for them. Bullshit.Children are accepting and resilient. They can deal with anything. It's your bigotry, your prejudices, and you are teaching those children how to be assholes. You want to teach family values? Start at home. And stay out of mine.

Don't get me started on religion, either. We'll be here all day. Let me just say that all of these "Christians" who say that everything in the Bible is"law" to further their own agendas would do well to remember this:That very same book teaches them that NOBODY is free from sin, that those who have sinned have no right to cast stones, and that the only one allowed to judge is their God. I'm sorry, but you have no leg to stand on. You have no right to judge gay people, atheists, or anyone else. The very book you use to"prove" your points is telling you to stop doing that. Your selective understanding of the very blueprints of your belief system is maddening, and you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Atheists, I get you. I truly do. But please, stop poking the bear. You don't accept that people believe in an invisible man in the sky, and you are maddened by their attempts to shove the book down your throat. I understand. Do you really think that a group of people who (by your own account) follow an unreasonable book (and only selectively) that contradicts even itself are going to listen to your reasonable arguments against the existence of God? The only people listening and agreeing with you are those who already agree with you. Fine. You don't believe. Move on. Stop wasting your limited time in this universe on a lost cause.

I belong to the church of Bill and Ted. They have only two rules: 1. Be a good person 2. Have fun. To put it in their words: "Be excellent to each other, and party on,dudes!" Sure, it sounds "bogus," but the message is very sound.If people would simply shut the fuck up for a minute, and really think about what they are doing and saying, maybe this world would be a more peaceful,enjoyable place.

Enjoy yourself. Have a good time. And be good to other people. All 7 billion of them. How fucking hard can that be?
