One of my personal heros, Jack Kevokrian, was held as a political prisoner for 8 years for helping a man choose to die who was so sick he was about to choke to death on his own throat. Just for comparison – that former prison guard in upstate NY who helped those two murderers escape is gonna get 5 years in prison.
In 2011, the Catholic Church excommunicated 2 people in Brazil – a 9 year old girl and her mother. Why? Because the 9 year old girl got raped and impregnated. The only way to save her life was to get an abortion. The Catholic Church excommunicated her because she got an abortion and her mom helped. HOWEVER, the rapist did NOT get excommunicated. This is the same church that called Britney Maynard’s actions to stop her dying “a crime against God” and the same church that allowed priest to rape little boys for decades.
Donald Trump is leading in the polls….everyone buys into his bullshit. He says his favorite book is the bible. When asked what his favorite passage was, he said “I don’t wanna get into it because it’s very personal, there all equally great”. Yeah Trump never read the bible. If so, then he must think that biblical passages that support child/infant murder, rape, genocide, and slavery, are just as wonderful as the passage that says to love your neighbor. And he is against ISIS?
Jerry Sandusky, Jered Fogle, Stephen Collins (from 7th Heaven), Bill Cosby….all ended up to be rapist or child molesters.
When my far away girlfriend got in a car wreck, the police, hospital and others that “assisted” treated her like shit! The police made her, already disabled, go to court to fight a ticket they have her for “not wearing her seatbelt”……well she WAS wearing her seatbelt but had to freaking take the damn thing off to reach her cell phone and call for help! The doctors at the hospital where horrible to! Wouldn’t listen to her or anything. I basically had to yell at all the doctors in the end because when they discharged her, they was going to make her ride home without a wheel chair. I told them “this is a civil rights abuse and you will get her home”. I fought to get her what she needed. also the helicopter place that help life flight her to the hospital are trying to take her to court for 10,000s of dollars that she don’t have! There’s so much more examples from this, but it hurts to go though it in much detail without flashbacks.
South Africa is the baby rape capital of the world. I’m NOT kidding! Many believe there believe that raping babies will cure them of AIDS. The average sentence if found guilty? 2 years in prison! It’s also the rape capital of the world. Just last week, Nelson Mandelas grandson got arrested for rape and the president of South Africa got accused of it before.
The Mormon Church…we covered that craziness last night!
This years Baltimore riots where insane! Freddy Grey, a man who got arrested 33 times in his life died while in police custody. I don’t know if the the police where in the wrong or not. There’s no evidence one way or another…..this lead to protest, which I have no problem….these protests turned into riots. People burnt down a pharmacy, a newly opened nursing home that was funded by an African American church, residential cars and houses etc…..you would think the violent rioters would be charged with arson or even terrorism. Nope! Nothing!
After 9/11 we where united and saw who there real enemy was – Al-Queda and the Islamist groups that harbored them……a year later, our “enemies” where Saddam Hussein, France, and the Dixie Chicks.
Im sure I’ll think of so many more things to write about….people wonder why I love to drink!

Does anyone else want to share examples of how messed up society is?
women being stoned to death for ‘adultery’ in the middle east, usually by a large group of men, completely unable to defend herself. Yet men very rarely get stoned. And they can have many wives, yet women cannot have many husbands. Not that I agree with having multiple partners
That’s one of the most evil places in the world. I remember in northern Iraq, they stoned a poor 17 year old girl, not for adultery, but for wanting to marry outside her dumbass tribe
If I look at your avatar and squint a little, you actually look like a Simpsons character.
Good post OP, and that’s just a tip of the iceberg of the evil in this world. There’s a lot more going on than we hear about.
Great post. You mention drinking and i have to say that i’d do the same if i did like alcohol. People wonder why i tend towards this weird mixture of stupid humor and cynicism (that at times are completely contradictory tbh), but truth be told, there many depressing situations going on and it is pretty depressing… you have to cope somehow.
As sad as it is, some people just don’t want to see those realities so they’ll take any explanation given to them (“X is the enemy -> replace X when needed” is a pretty good example). They will also cast out those who do see those realities because they might ruin their rainbow colored world, but hey, if i don’t want to drink their kool-aid, why should i?
Middle East is the cesspool that I live in. Corruption and cruelty are beyond explanation…cheers
