I think Tylar's becomming a communist. This makes me lawl for two reasons:
1. No one with a little thing called 'common sense' actually thinks Communism works. The fact it's completely failed all across the planet, literally everywhere it's been tried, and typically sells out all of it's principles by the time the collapse happens, should be some kind of really, really obvious evidence.
2. While I have no respect for Tylar (she's a weak-willed lying bitch 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time, you've just fallen for her bullshit - I know you may disagree with this, dear reader, but consider how I feel about most of your shitty loser friends. I also realize "people change", so I suppose I should change the "is" to a "was" for fairness), I know she's intelligent enough to realize what most people realize when they hit 15 or 16and start reading newspapers: Communism is just a sham. Even in it's purest form, there is more chance of the rapture occuring (and being a postitive thing) than a functional nation successfully adopting Communism. Cuba doesn't count - it's socialist at best, and has/had an excellent dictator. Neither does Poland, or Czechloslovakia, two of the few places any form of far-left system has worked.
It's not that capitalism is any better. I'm quite honestly becoming convinced the earth would be better off losing three quarters of it's population and simply returning to a form of agrarian anarchism. It's not horribly realistic, but it's much more honest than any other system I can think of, and still has a better chance of happening than working communism.
I started school again today. Can you tell?
Related to that, I'm supposed to write an essay on this movie called "Finding Forrester", which is a good show, but not well suited to writing about in regards to character development. For one, almost all of the main character's real developments happen off-screen, and are mostly just alluded to. Forrester, by contrast, changes significantly throughout the whole movie, something which is in fact brought on by Jamal's (the main character) lack of change from his principles. On top of that, I can't really emphathize with an inner city black kid, since.. well, I'm not an inner city black kid. As a matter of fact, I've never even met a black person while sober.
I guess we'll see how it goes.

It makes me real happy that you've back in school. The world needs your thoughts and wisdom.
ReplyDeleteI'm basically doing it to eventually collect E.I. I have been working since I was like 14, and am tired of it.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely doubt "getting an education so I can work at a bong shop and get government money" is what most people take from this post, so I can understand why you might say that.
