Shut the fuck up.
Let me say this first: I am a hypocrite.
Now that that's settled, on with the bitching!
If I hear the words, "I don't care" in regards to the current state of the nation, or, to a greater extent, the world, I swear to god I'm going jihad with a fucking hammer on some bitches.
You know, everybody is so obsessed with the luxuries of the world nobody cares about the problems that will most likely prevent us from having said luxuries. If we keep going the way we're going (in regards to the US, that is), we're going to be living in mud fucking huts. I like my goddamn internet. I like my fucking luxuries. I don't want to lose them to apathy and ignorance. The nation needs people who care. The nation needs people who are thinking less about their own wallets and more about the collective wallet of the world.
Most people, in my experience, when being told about problems the nation is having, will just wave it off. They'll say, "Well, I can't do anything about it." Bullshit. Bull fucking shit you can't. You really can't do so much as just volunteer for community service or something? Fuck. Not to mention all the youth who's greatest ambition is 'auto mechanic' or 'working at the mall' or some silly bullshit like that? The object in life isn't to make money, for fuck's sake!
We need engineers, we need doctors, scientists, politicians who can't be bought and actually give a shit. Not to mention that these worthwhile and constructive positions usually entail a decent living. Why not make money *and* do something good for the rest of us?
It's time to get our heads out of our asses, guys. Seriously. This shit is not fucking working!
I feel like there is a bomb in the room and I'm the only one who fucking cares.
And, honestly, I haven't done my part. I haven't. But you can bet your sweet gothic ass I'm going to. I'm 19. I fucked up in highschool, and I know I should be going a bit farther than I am at this point. But for fucks sake I'm enrolling in community college and hope that's enough to get my GED carrying ass into college so I can get a good enough education to do something worthwhile. I don't know quite what to do just yet, but sweet fucking christ I'm going to do something.
Hopefully I'll be able to be one of those noble, happy fucks who when they die can honestly say they helped. Even if it's just a little. Even if it's so little nobody even knows. If we all did just a little, it could lead to a very, very big change. Hopefully for the better.
