Recently, I watched a documentary called The Anatomy of Hate. Of course, it was about people hating. White supremacists, Westboro Baptist church protesters, suicide bombers, and just people in the Middle East who carry guns with them everywhere until they find a cafe to blow up. I'm not sure I should say if it was good or bad, but in fact very interesting. It really makes you think how many ignorant and unintelligent people there are in the world.
White supremacists are Caucasians who think they're superior to any other race. They're mainly against black people and think they're demons on Earth. The most well known supremacist group is the KKK(Ku Klux Klan). I'm not the only one thinking that this is an argument that's as old as before the Civil War, right? People really should get over themselves and get a serious reality check. For those kind of people: You aren't any better than anyone else in the world; you're just another human being like all the other six billion people on the planet no matter what race you are. You're just like millions of other people in the world, so what makes you think being Caucasian is oh so special? And knock off the stereotyping too. Your kids are going to be fine because not every black man you run into is a rapist.
Religious protesters. We all know how much fun they are. This documentary focused on one group of people who do it all the time. The Westboro Baptist Church. I'm sure we all know how nuts these people are. They always protest at wherever for whatever stupid reason they have. They're mainly against homosexuality and gay troops in the army. I don't like these kinds of people because they have to make huge deals over nothing. We get it you're against homosexuality. Tell it to someone who's going to care and not trying to start riots with you guys. Get over yourselves.
Here's another plus: They have children protesting with their parents. This one kid can't be older than six or seven, and he's singing a rendition of "God Bless America" with his mother which basically says "God hates fags." How many six year olds do you know know what the word fag even means? None I hope. How a woman like that lives with herself and a family of six children I have no idea.
What is wrong with church these days? All these people rant away with "God hates this", "God hates that", and "You're going to burn in hell if you don't do this". Do these people even understand what the bible's saying? As far as they think, God is apparently some mean being trying to make our lives miserable. People only see what they want to see. But they don't really understand what the bible's really saying.
(If you're an atheist, you can skip this paragraph if you want.)God is a loving person. Everything he does, he does because he loves us. People seem to blame him for all of their problems. Westboro Baptist Church says that he hates America and he cause 9/11 and we're going to burn in hell sometime soon. All of that stuff they say is untrue. (You can go back to reading the rest of blog now if you skipped this part)
That's a bit why I haven't taken any interest in going to church for about five years. I get really bored, and no one really explains what anyone's saying. They just toss around quotes from the bible and leave it to us to try to understand what they're saying. It's like trying to take a test that counts as a part of your grade, and the teacher hasn't taught you anything. People should really try to learn what's coming out of their mouths before they begin to blabber away.
While I'm on the topic of religion, why are people obsessed with the end of the world? People always say that one day the entire human race will die out. We always wonder when. People just keep giving out random dates when we'll die. Year 1000, year 2000, June 6, 2006, and the ever popular December 21, 2012. From my point of view, I think the world will end in a few million years, the Sun will blow up, and destroy the Earth. So really, I don't think we'll die anytime soon. I just live my life the carefree person I am. People should stop worrying when we die and just live with what life has to offer for us.
How many people have wished for world peace when they were little? A lot. I know I've prayed and wished for it a couple times before I went to bed. We always think of an ideal world for everyone to live in. No homeless on the streets. Everyone loves each other for who they are. People put down their guns and come to agreements where everyone's happy. We stop global warming and the extinction of many animals. All the troops would be home to never miss another Christmas or birthday. Any of this sound familiar?
We all think and talk about a world like that, but how many of us act? If everyone could do something, even the tiniest act, to help the world, then wouldn't the planet become a better place to live in? It's just my opinion. Maybe if people could stop making ignorant and stupid choices, we wouldn't have these problems today. Maybe one day we can live without fear and hate.

Because I have nothing better to do with myself
I kinda decided to make a more serious post to share my feelings about some stuff.
So I saw a thing on the FOX News site about a big dilemma with a new MTV show called 'Skins' and it has child pornography, illegal drug use and what not. All I'm thinking is this: What is wrong with you MTV? I wish it could've gone back to having music instead of this 16 and Pregnant and Jersey Shore stuff. I can't believe people watch that. In my opinion, to be blunt, it's crap. All of it. Okay, it was fine back in the early 2000's with Ozzy Osbourne. That was actually cool and funny to watch. Now MTV is full of horrible shows. Where's the music? Oh that's right. It's on VH1. MTV just shows a bunch of over dramatic and whiny teenagers.
This is from foxnews.com: MTV defended its show in a statement released Thursday: "'Skins' is a show that addresses real-world issues confronting teens in a frank way.
Okay. Not every person I know is getting high, drunk, or having sex. I think we're old enough to know not to take illegal drugs and not to drink. Schools everywhere are trying to tell kids to stay drug free, abstain from sex, and all that stuff. Even T.V advertisements and billboards have the Above the Influence, A Message from a Foundation for a Better Life and even Over the Limit, Under Arrest. People are trying to keep us in school and to stay smart so we can have good lives later on. So what message is MTV sending to children and teenagers? It's okay to do drugs, alcohol and get yourself pregnant 'cause everyone's doing it? Sounding like that to me. Not everyone's life is like that. Me and my friends never fight and if it is it's over food 'cause there are some people who don't bring lunch. Ever heard the phrase that the future's in the hands of our children? Then what kind of hands are you putting the future into if their heads are filled with the wrong choices?
Oh, and another note on most of MTV shows. It's all fake. I don't know if people know this, but the camera men are right there telling people what to do, say and how to act so they can have something good to put on T.V. I know this because I was right there. Back in Indiana, my sister's friend, who I'll call M to keep identities safe, was gonna be on an MTV show called Made. It didn't get aired because their lives weren't dramatic enough to put on T.V. That's what they want. They want people to argue among their friends and do stupid choices so they can be on T.V. A couple months after MTV was gone M turned into, well let's just say she got a bit cranky and keep it at that.
MTV also argued that their show Skins was rated TV-MA. How many kids in America do you think pay attention to those ratings? I can't watch a TV-MA show or an R rated film without my parents' consent or if they're in the same room. Most people I know have seen an R rated film of the 21st century. So of course there are going to be teenagers watching that because they like MTV and see what new show they got.
To summarize all that was written, MTV isn't a good influence on children and teenagers of today. And they really should think about what they put on T.V and who's going to watch it.
