I have something that needs to be said about hardcore feminists. They are just as extreme as terrorists. Just in different specifics.
Feminists aren’t asking for equality with men; they want supreme dominance. And let’s be honest: they probably deserve it. After all, they have been the ass of male jokes for the last 6,000 years (give or take) so I’m guessing it’s fair to want to wear the big-boy pants for a while.
But they can’t sit there and tell me they want equality with men, especially when they are picky about not having to be in the draft and are so snipitty about wanting to make more money than there soon to be, never existing husband.
Look I have no problem with you wanting to be more powerful than men; I’ve already admitted that you deserve it. But don’t lie to me when you want equality: be honest. And one other thing: stop being hypercritical. I’ll remind you that you are focusing on helping the middle class women who are working in middle management. Your big issue derives from statistical evidence saying women are paid less than men in the same position. That’s fair to focus on this problem, but what about the lower class women. What happened to helping the strippers, prostitutes, and high school cafeteria workers? And while we’re being honest, let’s remind everyone at home who’s keeping score where you’re true interests lie. Hardcore feminists are narrowly focused on the United States. Never mind all the sweat-shop labor in India and the Middle East. (Humorous side note: do you think a feminist is more concerned with the equal pay in sweat shops with boys and girls than the actual forced labor?). Who cares about the 60% of women prostituting for a living in Singapore? Right?
(Side note: Gay rape seems to get less attention than heterosexual rape. I would assume: that in today’s societal outlook, gay rape would be worse because of the taboo factor of being gay.)
Feminists need to wake up and smell the male strippers. Who knows? Maybe it will help them from stressing out.
Now I don’t want this to sound like I don’t respect women. But goddamn feminists that give the wrong message. I think women should be given equality just like everyone else is supposed to be given equality. But I believe this because I think it is morally right, not because I was given inflated statistics about rape and prostitution. If I wanted to learn first hand about these things, I’d go to jail.

important issue 8 (robbery in progress)
(first written 4-19-2006)
Because I’m me, I’ve decided to dedicate this entire e-mail to the act of robbery. For the most part, the robbery I’m talking about is spontaneous and likely to be of convenience stores or other things of that nature.
*Warning* this e-mail will be incredibly unorganized. I’m just going to let my brain go and what I think is what you get. Messiness eminent!
About the title: I think it is amusing that police call it this. I can’t imagine a robbery taking very long. It’s usually a quick snatch and grab or a short intimidation followed by several shots and a lot of running. I just feel that the phrase is very limited to the short amount of time that the action occurs. More to the point, if the cop is watching the robbery in progress, they’d stop it…hopefully.
The whole idea is very interesting to me. It takes a very desperate person to do something that is becoming increasingly unsuccessful to attempt. And doing this simple act gets you several years in prison. Maybe they don’t know this. Next time you are an onlooker to a robbery taking place, go up to the robber and politely say: “Excuse me. Did you know that your actions right now are illegal?” hopefully, they will promptly apologize and be on their merry way. That would really fuck up any research done about the nature of theft.
Of course it does sadden me that this great country called something allows people to fall so far into the cracks that they are forced to try something desperate and crazy. From their perspective, it can even be win-win. If they, full well knowing the consequences of their actions, still try to rob a store, one of two things will happen. They will either succeed (and have a fair share of money to get back on their feet), or the will fail and get thrown in jail. This is not as bad as it may sound. Jail is the second best place for an underachiever (the first is the army). The basic necessities are there including shelter, food, clothes, and even money. And all it costs are tax payers, but they have the money to pay that and they don’t need to rob stores. (If they didn’t have enough money and they did have to rob stores; that would be a very vicious cycle. Remember, the more people in prison/ jail, the more money required to keep them there.)
Another thing weird about the whole robbing banks/stores thing is when trying to do it with a grenade. If you are robbing someone with a grenade this is the generic threat: “Give me your money. If I can’t have it, I’d rather be dead and I’ll take you with me!” This is really bad logic and I’d be 60% willing to call his bluff and refuse to give the money.
Another thing has occurred to me while writing this. I’m noticing that I’m using the male article only. This is obviously unfair because women are equal. They rob stores and want the same amount from the stores as men. My evident reason for using the male article is that it is much more common to hear of a male robber than a women robber.
Side note/last note: do you think people have ever described their assailants as good looking? Maybe they do and the police leave it out. I’d just like to hear on the news that someone is on a crime spree. They are 5’7”, wear an orange hat, and they are extremely hot. Be on the lookout for someone this height that you want to have sex with immediately.

important issue 7
(first written 3-8-2006)
I finally figured out why a lot of people like Michael Moore. It shows another point to which humans are lazy. Moore takes facts, opinions, and jokes, which may not be accessible to everyone, and turns them into a 100 minute film. He deciphers all that information because you are too lazy to. And then you defend him because he did all the work for you. With some effort, everyone could be as informed as him, the resources aren’t necessary.
You should be allowed to cancel someone else’s vote by just taking away votes from candidates. Instead of voting you just say “I don’t want this person to win. Anyone else, just not him.” That has the potential to be very tense. Especially when you go to take away a specific person’s vote. You go up to them later and say “Ha ha. I just nullified your vote. You don’t even matter to the voting system.” And then they tell you that they didn’t even vote and you feel awkward. Yeah. That would be perfect….
By 2020, I want to run on the dictator platform. I don’t expect to win. I just want to see how many states I can get on the ballet. I expect to get three: Alaska, Montana, and Wyoming. If I can win those three states, I’m practically guaranteed winning the 2024 election. Those states have so much swaying power.
I have one major problem with today’s voting structure. If your ballot is indeed supposed to be secret, then why do people discus it before, during, and after the election. If we are going to let everyone know who we are voting for, why don’t we just all get together and raise our hands or applaud for who we want to win?
I don’t believe in recalls. I do think that if someone feels they should and could have won, that they can fill out forms to have a do-over. They have to be mind-numbingly tedious paperwork so the person really has to feel strongly for the need for a redo. I could live with that. Counting the votes doesn’t change the number there are. What are you going to do? Decipher someone’s handwriting to make it look like something else? Nope. You’re not allowed. I just think it would amuse me if instead of asking for a recount a politician stares into the eyes of his opponent and demands a Do-over. “Better hold up on that parade Mr. Senator I recall you claiming that section 37 clearly states that I get a do-over once in my life time. I invoke section 37 sir. That’s right! I’m invoking 37. Better call the ticker tape company and tell them to hold on your order you slimy radioactive turtle!” (Sorry about this last comment. It may be too harsh but I think it completely obliterates my point which was my original intention.)
Never be pressured to vote. If you believe in what is being fought over, by all means, support it. But deciding which new colored M&M you want is not really as important.
