Seriously – Our Species is Doomed

It is amazing to me how, in this day and age, reflecting on all the things our species has accomplished and learned, that we allow stupidity to remain the star by which the masses guide us. Why does popular opinion matter so much, aside from making money off of that opinion? Why do we still tolerate the horrific acts committed in the name of an imaginary being in the sky as if they are acceptable in some way? Why do we allow people to make decisions for us who think our planet is only a few thousand years old? Why do we allow people to teach children that dinosaurs and humans walked the planet at the same time?
Why? It depresses me that so many people I run into on a daily basis have no idea why they think the way they think. They accept whatever is told to them by their preachers, parents and politicians without question. Why? Is it just because that is how they were always taught or it’s what they were always told? Why are kids coming out of high school who can’t speak properly? Why do we allow stupid, dark age mentality people the power to try to force their stupidity on us all?
It’s because we don’t want to offend anyone. We don’t want to get sued because someone’s feelings got hurt. Someone needs their vote or their money or their support. They need to watch the latest bullshit reality show or be distracted by their home sports team. (Guilty of the last one during the World Cup – but it’s only once every four years). If people actually paid attention, read other points of view, hell just read something period they would see how fucked up everything really is. Just, step out of the cell phone texting, iPod listening, reality show watching bubble placed around you by society and pay attention for a day. You’ll be saddened but at least you’ll wake the hell up.
Teach evolution not creationism. There is no controversy. Teach kids to actively think for themselves and to question everything they see and hear. Teach them to be individuals and not sheep in a flock. Teach them how to speak, read and write properly. Teach them to fucking think not regurgitate the shit they hear on the television.
This really had no purpose. I’m just disgusted with ignorant, stupid, lying assholes who twist words and edit things to prove their own misguided ideals. I’m sick being nice to pricks and self centered assholes everywhere. I’m tired of seeing people who do nothing but have everything and keep having more given to them because they already have so much.
Doesn’t fucking matter…
