Welcome to the 21st century. Where profit takers are the ‘moral’ voices
of our society.
Since when did toy stores get all moral? Last time I was in a toy store I could buy GI
Joe™ and plastic guns. Not that those
things are bad, but if someone is going to stand up and feign a higher
morality, why be so selective over what this morality is suppose to be?
Frankly, I’m insulted on two fronts. One, it’s okay to sell plastic guns to the
future adults of this country, thus encouraging them to associate violence with
a sense to normal behavior, but it’s wrong to teach children that sex is
okay? What the fuck? I’ve never understood that mentality. If sex and sexual behavior is such a sin,
why the fuck did god require that we use it to procreate? It’s completely dim-witted to believe that,
if god exists, he really thinks sex is a bad thing (and of course, if god doesn’t
exist, then sex is natural, anyway).
And to assume that some how teaching children to appreciate the human
form is morally wrong is just plain stupid.
The second reason, it’s just a game for Christ sake! It carries an “M” rating, and any parent
worth their salt will decide whether or not their child is mature enough for an
M rated game. If you are a parent and
you think that someone else telling you what to believe is the proper way to
behave; shame on you! The idea of being
an adult is solely bases on the premise that you are responsible for your
life. The minute we say that we don’t
want that responsibility we relegate ourselves back to child status. And if you think I want to have the status
of a child again, but all the responsibility of an adult, you’re more than
sadly mistaken. I hate the fact, that
parents like you, ruin it for the rest of us.
Maybe it would be easier if you fools who think sex is morally objectionable
just have your reproduction organs removed.
Trust me, we’d all be happy with that.
Besides, the reality is that most game systems are owned by
20 something males. I doubt that I’m
being simplistic there. And I would
think that a 20 year old, who is an adult in our society, has the legal right
to entertain his fantasies as he sees fit, and if the toy stores of the this
country some how think that a 20 year old doesn’t have that right, then what
the toy stores are doing amounts to censorship. I don’t know about you, but the first inkling of censorship is
already too much. It’s all those
wacko’s with their it takes a village crap.
Just so you know, it’s that mentality that births serial murderers and
breeds anti social behavior.
In fact, some high school in Berkeley attempted to have
organic lunches at school:

It failed. Of course,
the media is portraying the event as yet another bad PR program. Saying that it was all just a marketing
error and that some how the word didn’t get to the students. Or some crap like that. The truth is probably a lot simpler than
that. It probably relates to typical
rights of passage. The young all rebel
against their parents. It’s the natural
order of things. A young person always
needs to strike out for self-identity.
In Southern Baptist homes the teenage daughter tends to become a drunken
slut, who parties while daddy preaches the good word. Are we to assume then that in the liberal household this
rebellion is some how none existent? I
doubt it. It would only make sense that
a young person growing up with a father and mother who were flag burning,
pot-smoking, Birkenstock wearing, long hairs would rebel by being what ever fit
for them at that time. If for example, a
child’s parents were organic vegetarians, would it seem so strange then that
the children of such parents would prefer to eat at Taco Bell than to have yet
another boiled yam for lunch? I would
think after about 3000 softened carrots for dinner, the appeal of such dry and
bland meals would loose their luster in the face of such attractions as Carl’s
Jr., or In-n-Out. This would especially
make itself known by the 13-17 year old mind.
So even, with in the village, these high minded ofay cry about, there is
rebellion.
Since this ‘perfect food’ system failed in Berkeley and
since they blamed it on bad marketing, how long do you think it will be before
they go before the state and ask for tax monies to sponsor a “Get to know your
veggie” program?
What ever the outcome.
I don’t want to live in this village and the best way to accomplish that
is simply to get up ever day and drink myself to oblivion, hoping the dark gods
finally hear my prayers and pull me off of life support.
