I agree. Who gives a )*$% if they did so with cheats? Not only do you know yourself that they're a dumb@$$ lying *******, but THEY know it too, and so does everyone else. He's making a fool of himself in the first place, and that's his problem.
I think I jumped into this topic too late, but I think one of the big debates was homosexuality. There were many flaws in many people's opinions, but I must assemble all of my evi-dence before showing my case. I must now review the other topic issues!!!!! MUWAHAHAH*cough* err....^_^
-----------------------------
World Flaws
#1: A number ONE flaw for me is anti-semitism. In all of history, there has not been such a negative flow toward anyone more than Jews. And it was all because of misunderstanding and exaggeration (started by the gospels, but unintentional when it comes to calling Jews the reason for Christ's death).
The main reason everyone hates Jews is because they say we killed Christ, and STILL hold that today. I ask them "WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!!??! I'm NOT two thousand years old, I'm BARELY related to anyone back then, I was NOT around when it happened, and NOT ALL JEWS back then were responsible."
Among the Jews that took part in Christ's killing, at he most, was 50 or 60, these being members of the Jewish council of Jerusalem. Otherwise, it was the ROMANS who killed Jesus. Crucifixion is a ROMAN capitol punishment. The crime Jesus committed was a ROMAN capitol offence. If the Romans weren't around, this wouldn't of happened.
Next off, many Jews actually LIKED Jesus. He was danced into town for pete's sake. Though of the people who knew of Jesus' death, again, only people in Jerusalem at the time would've known. People, not EVERY SINGLE JEW in the world was in Jerusalem at that time. Jerusalem can't hold such a massive load. 5 million or so? I don't think so.
So basically, this world flaw (because it is global, NOT just religous, as it happens in France, the mid-east, back in WWII, back BEFORE Christ) is really annoying. The stupidest misconception creates all of this dumbass stuff. It REALLY ticks me. And it certainly isn't good for the world, as it generates useless hate.
And lemme say one thing, NO Jew back then would probably have a problem with Christ. They would be horrified at what happen. They also supported his wants for social reform. Maybe not his other radical ideas, but some of the social reforms, yes.
#2: Homosexuality is largely debated. If you look at it from a non-religous viewpoint, I just don't see why it would be wrong. Someone isn't a sinner if they're just like that. They aren't a bad person. Many homosexuals are nice people, with good morals. They don't do some of the dirty things many people say they do. They're perfectly fine if you ask me.
At a religous viewpoint, if you are against, fine, but that's not what the punishment in the ten commandments refers to on adultery. It says mankind, not man. If God would to say "If a man is to lie by another man like he does with a woman" he would have said man. NOT mankind. The more proper translation is to say that a man or woman shall not have an affair or commit atrocious acts of adultery. It doesn't say if a man or woman is a homosexual that they shall certainly die. Mankind and man are different. Period. This is probably the most mistranslated part in the Bible if you ask me.
The last issue here is *** marriage. First off, Bush's argument about "preserving the sanctity" is STUPID. If you want to preserve the santity, then make people who get divorces pay more taxes and more fines. Everytime someone gets divorced, they break the sanctity by destroying marriage vows. They part not after death, do not respect each other, and with all the Hollywood marriages that turn into disasters after a month, you wonder how there is still any sanctity IN marriage.
Bush, STFU. There is no more sanctity. If you want to save what's left, make a law saying divorce is illegal, or make people pay the gov't severly for their idiocy. Sheesh ;)
#3: Quick thing on "destroying our forests."
We aren't. At least in the U.S. I'm whole-heartedly AGAINST those *******s cutting trees down in the rain forest, but go ahead right in the good ol' U.S. and Canada. Wanna know why? For every tree that is cut, two or three more trees are replanted. Compared with today and the 1920s, we have MORE forests and trees now than back then, or ever before.
Sure, it's disturbing to see big fields of stumps. And maybe some animals' homes are being destroyed. But they won't go extinct, because there's plenty more forest to spread, and it's one animal out of a million of its species. I wouldn't get TOO worried about animals becoming extinct. Heck, animals THOUGHT to be extinct are reappearing. Wanna know why? Because we fixed our problems, and there are forests left, and the water is cleaner, the grass greener.
Guess what happened just recently? The o-zone was found to replenish significantly since the ban of CFCs, and global warming has been drastically reduced. Stop exaggerating the negative, and look on the bright side once in a while.
Which brings me too my last problem:
#4: TOO MUCH NEGATIVITY!!!!! Turn on the news. What do you see? Man murdered, thrift store robbed, fire downtown. Bam bam bam. Just like that. And then one story on how some kid did some amazing thing. Now you suddenly feel slightly good about the world you live in, when you should feel better. The pessimistic attitude of the world is just so annoying, you just wish there was actually a news program that reported on good things.
Really, a little optimism can go a long way.
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was long :P
