I fucking hate Chuck Norris

He is symbolic of whats wrong with the right wing. He cultivates a rugged tough man image, and then idiots believe that means he's an actual hero. Most idiots who have seen too many episodes of Walker are more likely to listen to him on international security issues than the president. In many ways he's like John Wayne, who used his image to push his right wing agenda. Neither one ever served in combat. And while I'd be the first to say that means absolutely nothing, they both actively pursue an image of the combat hero. John Wayne more so, but they both do it. But that's not enough for Norris, he also uses his soapbox in front of the unthinking masses to push his religious agenda. Hell he even used that retarded TV show of his to opening push Christianity. In the 5 minutes of an episode I could stomach he showcased a group of roided up freaks who go around the country performing feats of strength all the while claiming its only with the power of Jesus they're able to do it. Really you giant man-bears? If it was the power of some long dead carpenter's son then why can't regular sized believers do it? Oh that's right, its the power of HGH, steroids and work.

The last part is the most important, everyone who gives credit to God for their accomplishments is doing nothing but devaluing human achievement. Going to the moon, why that was God. Not the hard work of some of the smartest people in the world. Advances in medicine are discredited as meaningless because some figment of our collective imagination holds ultimate power over all of us. It just struck me how cyclical that thinking is. We developed religion and myth because we feel so small and powerless in the vastness of the world. That got worse when we started to understand the vastness of the universe. Now that we not only understand how small and fragile we really are, hell our home planet is small and fragile in the grand scheme of things, we are more frightened so we turn ever harder towards the comforting embrace of unthinking devotion. The more we learn, the smaller we feel, the more likely we are to shun that damn book learnin' that made us feel small and embrace utter bullshit. We wrap ourselves in the warm blanket of ignorance and call it bliss. It's this feeling of worthlessness that drives people to marry and have kids. They know how insignificant they are so they want kids, a legacy. Someone to remember them when they are gone. It of course won't work. Sure your kids will remember you, and your grand kids if you live long enough. Hell lets pretend you will be healthy long enough to meet your great grand kids. Not just meet them, but be a big enough part of their lives that they remember you when they're old. Do you really think their kids will give a fuck? No. Maybe they'll know your name and that you were a district manager at a paper company (yes, I mean Michael Scott from the Office, he's who springs to mind when I think well intentioned idiot). But will they know you? No. Of all the people who have lived we care to know so few, what makes them think they're special enough to merit inclusion on that list? I, frankly, know I won't be remembered 100 years from now. You don't see me trying to create a legacy with my dick.

Wow, that was a little bit of a disconnect, even for me. Now back to that oozing asshole Chuck Norris. Along with all of his other faults he is a douche bag without a sense of irony. Before those stupid Chuck Norris emails started circulating a ways back he was well on his way to obscurity. But then when a website that started the trend tried to publish a book of them, he got litigious. That's right, even though no one would give a flying fuck without those emails he was preventing more free publicity by suing to stop the publication. Meanwhile this "great patriot" continued shilling that weak ass gym (we carried them at Oshman's back in the day, they sucked) with a tax cheat. Way to go you flag waving moron. I wish there was a hell so that people like you could suffer the way you've made anyone with half a brain suffer by inserting your bullshit into the collective consciousness of society.

What the Fuck?

How is it that asshole who crashed a fucking plane back in February kept his job long enough to do so. Even after failing 5 tests. Meanwhile I can't find a job. Or how that fucking ass in Boston who crashed a fucking trolly will only get fired it he was texting while driving. Jesus. What the fuck did I do thats so wrong that I'm unemployable while those two geniuses don't just have jobs, but jobs where other people's lives are in their hands. I may not be the greatest employee ever, but fuck.

Employment practices

Why is it so many companies expect you to create accounts on their websites just to apply for a job? Guess what assholes, if you hire me I will never use my account again. And if you don't then I will never use my account again. All you're doing is wasting my fucking time. If you don't want to accept resumes via email, fine. But for the love of Christ how about you just have a form on your website that we can fill out and submit? Less work for your IT people (currently they are forced to maintain a non-existent user base) and less work for applicants.

You know what else I hate when you let you import your resume and totally mangle it. They might as well label the "submit" button with "mangle your resume and have to manually fix every fucking category, which will end up taking longer than if you just copy and pasted the individual parts". If your software is so stupid it requires a specific form then how about you have an example of the form you require? Gee while your at it you might as well just have that reference form on your website above a link to email your resume to an HR moron and have it filtered for suitability. You know so even those retards can't fuck it up. Wow, less work for HR and IT. No wonder I'm unemployed, no one wants to hire someone smarter than them.

Fox News employs kiddie porn trader

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0210093foxnews1.html
This is fucking terrible. Fox News, which has been attacked Obama for his associations since he became a serious contendor for the presidency, and attacking his cabinet nominations because of failure to pay taxes hired that guy. A man convicted of trading in kiddie porn (apparently not a big deal in Michigan because they only gave him 3 years of probation for 6000 pictures on his hdd). He was just arrested again after an undercover investigation into a kiddie porn trading network online. I hope the laws are more strict in DC, this piece of shit needs more than probation.

Call of Duty: World at War rant

This game has the same exact problem as the last Treyarch CoD, the checkpoint system sucks. Nothing is more annoying then having to replay the same 70 seconds of gameplay over and over again because every single enemy is gunning for you while 20 AI comrades stand around doing nothing. The worst though is the last level. After getting so close to the absolute end you can feel it you get killed by an enemy that I swear materializes from a starship overhead. Then you get to redo the entire fucking level. After wasting my time slowly getting closer and closer to the end I just couldn't take it the second time I almost beat the game. I'm playing on a computer with over a Terabyte of storage, how about you let me quick save you fucking amateur console game making assholes Or maybe, just maybe, include a fucking checkpoint in the last level. This game joins CoD3 on my list of games I'll never beat out of sheer fucking frustration. As for the multiplayer; yawn. CoD4 does it better, and the weapons have inherently more balance. Now that I've uninstalled this piece of flaming shit I guess I'll go play that.

Treyarch = Ass Clowns

Israel sure makes it hard to support them

Like most people I support Israel's right to exist (oooh controversial stance), but why must they make it hard to support them? Yes, rocket attacks were happening, but they always happen, and they always will. There will always be zealots on both sides, and every time Israel flexes their military muscles they make it easier to make zealots on the Palestinian side. The random nut jobs shooting into Israel are not, and should not, be sanctioned by any government. Punishing everyone in Gaza for it just makes more zealots. The worst part is Israel has to know this.

The world is so much more complicated then it used to be. Back when we (honkeys) thought of everyone else as inferrior we just forced our protection and values unto them. Then when they wanted "freedom" or "rights" we simply corrected them because they obviously didn't know what they were talking about. Now everyone is "equal" and deserves "human rights". We also used to get to wear plaid and smack women on the ass at work. Damn I was born too late.
