All This Fuss Over A Cartoon!?

Out of all the things in the world that should piss people off, I never thought a cartoon would be one of them.

I read and article on Yahoo! News (Cartoon Protesters Direct Anger at U.S. ) about all these Muslims in other countries getting upset and starting riots, over some cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad. From what I understand, Islam forbids any illustrations of the prophet. Ok cool, but let’s take a look at this.

Ok first, I’m willing to bet everything I have (and it’s not much) that the person or persons who drew the cartoon is in no way shape or form a Muslim. Therefore, I don’t think they are obligated to abide by their rules and beliefs. Just because their Muslim doesn’t mean everyone in the world should bend over backwards for them and live by their teachings. If that was the case, then these Muslims should abide by some rules of Christianity. Let’s see, what rule should they live by? Oh, how about the one about having one wife!?!?

Secondly, whoever was behind the cartoon has the right to express their opinion, whatever it may be. From what I understand, the cartoon originated from a newspaper in France and was never shown in any of these countries where the people are pissed off. BUT, because they hear someone on the radio talk about it, they feel the need to get pissed. Here’s an idea, why don’t you get pissed at the fact you live in the middle of nowhere and no matter where you turn you see this lovely color of brown. Get pissed at the fact that when you shower or bathe your dirty within 2 minutes because of all the dust and dirt from the desert. Get pissed at the fact your own people (radical Muslims) are giving you a bad rep!!! Did that ever cross your mind!?

Finally, if we here in America got pissed off and started riots every time some one in one of these countries wrote, said, or drew anything that went against what we stood for, I don’t think there would still be an America. These people, well I should say these RADICAL Muslims, have been doing and saying stuff against America since they day their fathers missed their birth because he was with his 3 other wives trying to make more RADICAL Muslims. We just wanted to be left alone but no, your pussy ass “hero” Osama bin Laden had to rattle this dog’s cage. So what is he doing?!? Hiding in the mountains while the rest of you are getting bad reps. But yet you still continue to help the bastard hide. Here’s an idea, get rid of the bad apples, do something good for once and THEN everyone will change their opinion about you and stop dissing you every chance they get. DUH!

So in conclusion, it makes no sense for the Muslim world to be pissed off about a stupid cartoon! It was just something someone did to get a laugh at the image the bad apples in that particular group have created. We Americans take hits like that all the time and you don’t see us getting all bent out of shape about it! So quit blaming every image problem you have on everyone else when everyone in the world knows who you should blame. So to all the RADICAL Muslims out there, you are my close encounter for today and everyday until you actually do something to help yourselves!

My Cup

Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve updated but I was waiting on an encounter that could top the $9 Water Bill. I THINK I’VE GOT IT!!

Just the other day (well about a week ago) during our lunch break, a couple friends and I went to Subway to grab a bite to eat. We order our food, they made it and we ate it (that’s normally what happens when you go out to eat). After we were done eating, we did what any civilized person does, we threw away our trash. Keep in mind, trash is usually something you don’t want or need anymore.

Well, we get in vehicle and head back to lovely Robeson Community College (note the sarcasm there). About this time, one of my friends looks at me and says “Where’s your cup?”

“I threw it away,” I replied.

Had she just left it at that, I would not be typing this right now. So, THANK YOU FOR NOT STOPPING!!

“Why?!?” she asked me in a tone of “Are you stupid!?”

Thinking for sure she was playing I mocked here in her “why” tone. She kept looking at me like I was crazy. Then finally I had to do it. I had to tell her the truth. I had to tell her why I threw away my cup.

“Why else would people throw something away? Because I didn’t want it anymore.”

As my other friend was dying laughing, I told her she was going to be the next one on my blog. Of course she didn’t believe me. So here’s to you, and you know who you are, my close encounter with stupidity. Enjoy!
