People are Brain Dead Pt 1

People just don’t get it.

I’ve been reading the papers and there’s this major controversy about a couple of rape/murder cases involving underaged victims.

Obviously, the crimes are heinous. And people have been talking about what to do to prevent such a thing from happening. There’s people arguing about the death penalty & whether that would work as a deterrent, then there’s people who argue about the human rights of the convicted offenders. Well, here’s what I think.

Josef Stalin once said, “Peasants know how to deal with vermin. They exterminate them.” To me, if a person rapes a child (or anyone for that matter) and then murders them later to cover up their tracks, they’ve given up their so-called “human” rights. If someone can do such a thing, do you think they deserve any leniency ? I mean they obviously didn’t think about the ethical treatment of their victims now did they. If convicted, then they should be shot. By a firing squad. Without the blindfold. You know, like vermin. That’s what they are after all. You get what you give. You kill, you die.

The harsh truth is that whatever we do, stuff like this will always happen. They will be crime as long as there are people. That’s not the point of this entry. I don’t know why things like this happens. However some people seem to think they know.

Everytime this kind of thing happens, there’ll always be idiots who blame pop-culture. Yeah, some guy axe-murders somebody for fun ? It must be because of all the slasher flicks he watched. Some idiot kid drinks paraquat & kills himself ? It’s because of all the loud, devil music kids listen to nowadays. Some psycho rapes and kills a ten year old girl ? It’s because of all the porn that he’s been watching. Yeah, we humans are so weak in the head that we become mindless automatons, completely unable to filter all info that we get from watching TV/surfing the Net/reading the paper. Well guess what I think ?

Bullshit.

Consider me for instance. I’ve watch movies so violent they never should have seen the light of day (Cannibal Holocaust anyone ?). I’ve watched hard-core porn. I listen to stuff like Napalm Death & King Diamond and other various black/death/thrash metal outfits. I’ve played Doom 2 & Grand Theft Auto. Guess what ? I’m neither a violent person nor am I a sex fiend nor a criminal and I don’t worship the Devil. And everyone I know aren’t any of these things either.

I remember a case where some kid shot a few people in a theatre back in the early nineties. When the cops got to him, he said he was trying to reenact a level in Duke Nukem 2. Lame excuse right ? Guess what, people bought the excuse and there was all this uproar about the violent games kids play. The kid played a violent computer game, so that must be why he did what he did. Oh yeah? what about the other 2 million people that played Duke Nukem, did they go to a theatre and shoot people randomly ? Didn’t think so. Goes to show that some people are brain dead.

Think about it, if you watch a movie about a serial killer and then you go and axe-murder some random person and say that the movie made you do it, who’s fault is it ? That’s right. It’s your fault. How can people believe that the movie had anything to do with it ?

What’s the whole point of this rant ? Stupidity. Things happen and “well-meaning” but out-of-touch, stupid, old people blame things that have nothing to do with anything like Ozzy or trashy novels or something or other. Worse, people in power buy their stupid argument and start banning & censoring MY favorite TV shows. My favorite music. My favorite PC games. I have to GIVE UP things that I LIKE. What the HELL did I do, I didn’t hurt anybody ??!!!!

There’s more stuff like this that piss me off (stuff like the lepak “problem” and how all of our social problems are caused by young people). That’s right, it’s always our fault. It’s absolutely boggles my mind how people can be so stupid.

The point is, if anyone wants to be blame anyone for anything, at least be smart about it. Pop Culture has little to do with the bad shit that goes around, ok. Don't waste your time.

People just don’t get it.
