My ears were submitted to a wealth of bigotry, insensitivity, ignorance, and intolerance yesterday.

Though I was already previously aware of the prevalent existence of such poisonous mentalities in this population, I was further saddened by the deliberate hate I heard expressed towards women and homosexuals yesterday afternoon.

It’s 2012. 20-fucking-12. So why does it feel like 1861 sometimes? Although I am obviously and frequently vocally fed up with the system itself, I think what irks me more than any flawed establishment is the corruption of people: average, “normal” Amurricans, for example.

Ours is a culture devoid of respect, understanding, and benevolence. To say that I’m utterly disgusted by it is a heavy understatement.

I mean, even on a basic, elementary level: how fucking hard is it to give a fellow human being a hug? A real, genuine hug? A smile? Is it really that difficult to take the time to listen to an individual you wouldn’t normally speak to? A stranger, even? Is the majority truly incapable of simply caring? Of showing and receiving love to anything they can’t deposit in their bank accounts?

I constantly alternate between pressing on in my desires to help others/make significant change and wondering if it’s even worth it. Even after typing that sentence out, however, there’s no present doubt in my mind that I will continue to try. It’s just so fucking hard to love you sometimes, United Police States of America. It really, really is. 

If it’s true that Megan Fox is removing her Marilyn Monroe tattoo because she believes her to have been bipolar, then I have officially lost every ounce of the little respect I once had for her.

Evidently, she doesn’t need that kind of “negative energy” in her life.

Oh.

Okay.

Now, I’m not positive Monroe suffered from a mental illness at all, but if she did, it seems kind of redundant to demonize her for a struggle she had no control over having. Being bipolar, clinically depressed, schizophrenic, having borderline personality disorder, whatever—it’s no different than being black, gay, autistic, or having diabetes. Anyhow, it’s just a label. Having any type of physical or mental condition isn’t a personality trait. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never read a gravestone that was titled, “Robert Washington, 1920 - 1970, Bipolar I.” 

I mean, it’s not like I ever thought Fox to be the most inspiring intellectual to begin with, but seriously? I know she’s famous for being blunt, but she just comes off really vapid and ignorant to me, to be honest. Yes, she’s beautiful, but obviously devoid of substance.

And if Marilyn Monroe really was bipolar, then more power to her. She’s not alone. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Demi Lovato, DMX, Russel Brand, and Carrie Fisher have all come out with their disorder. Furthermore, Vincent van Gogh, Kurt Cobain, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson, Vivien Leigh, and Virginia Woolf are a few of the many celebrities and creative geniuses that are thought to have suffered from manic depression as well. 

People are so uneducated and ridiculous. The stigma against mental illness is legitimately as prevalent as racism and homophobia; the only difference is, no one seems to give an actual fuck about it.

When a prospective suitor doesn’t get an original, eloquently pieced together joke of mine…

Oh, we’ve got a creative, intellectual freethinker on our hands. She keeps talking about love, peace, and enlightenment. Her ideas are a threat to a culture based on conventionalism. What to do, what to do? There’s only one solution: medicate her before she persuades the masses to revolt against ignorance and oppression.

A sad reality in this close-minded, scared country.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars. As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked and if he does, he must commit suicide. So next Saturday at 1 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their houses to demonstrate their support for the women and to prove that they are not Muslim terrorist sympathizers. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your patriotism. The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity. P.S. It’s your patriotic duty to inform others, reblog and spread the message!

Holy FUCKING SHIT

YOU ARE THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE THIS WEBSITE HAS EVER SEEN

FUCK YOUR IGNORANT HATE SPEECH AND FUCK ANYONE WHO DOESN’T CALL YOU OUT ON IT 

is this guy serious oh my GOD

i am so utterly horrified that we live in a world in which ignorance like this is legitimately real

What the fuck is this? My jaw is on the floor at the moment. I knew people like this existed, but really? I don’t need to comment on this any further. There’s a special circle, unidentified by even Dante’s Inferno, for people like this asshole.

“I have lived through death of Michael Jackson, first black president, Royal Wedding & now Osama’s death. My life’s a fucking history book.”
