On my profile on a wrestling forum that I'm proud to be a member of--Divas-Heaven.com--I have a little part in my sig that lists dislikes. One of my dislikes is "hippies". I want to clarify what I mean by this.
When I say I don't like hippies, I don't mean the granola-munching, tree-hugging, pot-smoking hippies. I like granolas, I've been known to hug trees myself (If it's good enough for Shel Silverstein, it's good enough for me), and I don't think smoking pot is all that bad. I think more people should take an interest in saving nature and loving animals. What I mean by "hippie" is the flag-burning, attack-everyone-for-calling-women-chicks-or-what-have-you, whine -about-how-war-is-bad, it-takes-a-village-to-raise-my-child hippie.
You want to burn our flag, be my guest. Unfortunately, because of you whiny little babies, you have that right. I think you're an idiot if you do it but you fought the law and apparently, the law did not win here. Stay the hell away from my flag and don't you dare touch my I'support-the-troops bumper stickers. Oh, and just so y'all know: It's because of those very soldiers that you're disrespecting by burning the flag that gave you the right to do so in the first place. So shut up.
I don't much give a shit what you call me. I've heard it all before. If it's new, I'll even write it down. I like to learn. Ladies, a lot of the time when men call us "chicks", "babes", "sweetie", etc,, it's not always an insult or the man keeping you down. A lot of the time, it's their little way of expressing affection for you. And face it, the very ones that bitch about the man holding them down are the ones that like a man holding them down.
War is bad. That's why it IS a war. Nothing's changed that much since the beginning of time. So suck it up. There are millions of men and women at the front lines so you don't have to be. Don't you even realize that in most other countries, joining the service is mandatory? You HAVE to go. Here, in America, you get a choice. If you don't want to go, that's fine. I don't have the balls to go either. But I 100 % support the ones that do. It's not up to me to decide if where they are is the right place for them to be. It's not up to me to care all that much that they did this or that. I'm not the one wearing the combat boots (actually, yes I am). I'm not the one who's putting my life on the line for all of you. I don't have to see what they see or do what they do. That's just the way it is. And if war was pretty or soft or cutesy, it wouldn't be called war. So do me a favor and shut the hell up about it. The day you're on the front lines, facing imminent death, come talk to me.
And finally. It does NOT take a damn village to raise a child. I am so sick of this and I hate Hilary for bringing this idealism to the forefront of the American mindset. I don't have kids. I don't want kids. Therefore, I don't have to do shit to help you with yours. I don't care how cute your kid is. It's not mine. And if it was, you can bet your ass that I would be the one taking care of it. Not everyone else. YOU are not the greatest person in the world because you've bred. I for one don't care that you did. It's a biological function that may or may not produce fruit. And you know, half the kids out there ARE fruits.
I love kids. I have 3 nephews and 3 nieces. I adore them. They're awesome. But their moms raise them, not me. And that's the way it should be.
I don't have kids for a reason. (Actually a bunch of reasons). If I don't have my own, there's nothing wrong with me. In fact, more people should get a clue. But the whole point is that if you bring it into this world, it's yours. No one else's and you have no right to expect anything from anyone regarding it.
That's my rant for today. These are some of the multitude of things that piss me off. You're not patriotic? I think you're on crack but whatever. As disgusting as it is, you have that right. I also have the right to whoop your ass if you do burn that flag.
