I'm disgusted and insulted by the people at my school

so I mean seriously, I can't hold them to all that high of an esteem what with the schools initials being translated to "still writing in crayon" but one would hope for something from these people as members of the same species, an assumption there that may need investigation.

Firstly there was the early souring of my weekend, though hanging out with adam and eric brought it around quite a bit. So I'm in my history class where a debate on the death penalty breaks out, now I can argue both sides of the fence and understand the justifications both groups use, and my own personal views on the matter aren't an issue here, the issue is the extremists. There were a handful of, for lack of better words, crazy individuals in my class, advocating not only the death penalty, but public executions. They went so far as to say that lethal injections were too nice and that it would be much better as a deterrent if people were able to bring there kids to the executions to see the punishment that happened to criminals.

That is not justice people, that is a lynching.

These people want the public spectacle of an old west hanging, more so than that they want blood. They didn't say it, but there was that definite feeling that if they could they would want something even older still, something biblical or roman, a public stoning where the entire community turns out to bash the criminals to death with rocks or dumping the guy in the arena with some wild animals and maybe a stick. They reminded me less of people and more like hyenas circling the kill. How are we supposed to claim to the world that we're this bright shining republic spreading civilization across the land when we have people that think like that and cannot see how wrong that is?

Enough of the fucking crazy smacktards though, onto the stupid people.

Twice now in the past week I have been moderately insulted by individuals, making claims about me that have no basis in reality, one of the people I honestly can't say I have ever spoken to before today.

First we'll talk about todays incident, this strung out junky looking kid makes a comment about goths like us in regards to me and him. Now I'm not sure if he's just delusional, because he made another comment about how this was the goth lounge and anti-will(being not the kuester) made the comment about how this isn't the goth lounge its just the geek lounge, so I'm not sure if he just had some weird misconception about the crowd he was hanging with, but seriously, the fuck? Even at my angsty high point in later high school years and at points at Carthage I don't think I was even remotely goth. I mean whoop d fucking do, I wear a long black coat, ya know if I could get one that was gray I'd be just as likely to wear that, know why, gray blends in better at night, black sticks out more. And yeah I wear a number of black collared shirts, I also wear a lot of green and an assortment of blues and a lot of khaki pants. Of course we can't forget that oh my god I have long hair, that is so goth and not say music related or hippy or any other group that has had long hair. I am not overly pale, I actually usually make a point of getting a bit of sun every summer so that I stay a healthy colour over the winter and more to the point don't wear anything to make me look paler and while I might have the odd bitchfest I'm not one of those angsting emo chai tea drinking losers go around claiming to be vampires or werewolves or whatever the fuck. Now I know a number of nice enough goths, but I really don't see how I am in the least bit goth myself.

On to the final point of insult, this by the anti-will last week. Now I wouldn't say I'm agnostic, though I'm close some days of the week, I'd say my inklings are much more deist or theist with christian flavor, but to claim I'm atheistic seems a bit extreme, but he did. His phrasing was that about the only person more atheistic around here than me is Josh over there. Again, the fuck? I'm anti-religion for the most part, religion is mainly used as a pulpit for someones propaganda and is less about aiding peoples spiritual growth as to shoe-boxing them into the codified ideology of one group or another, but I also think that theres more out there than what we know and that things seem to work a bit to well for random chance. I have issues with claims about the divinity of Yshua of Bethlehem, scion of the house of David, but I do think he had a number of good things to say, which can be summed up in the phrase "Jesus says, don't be a dick." But the assertion that I'm atheistic really rubs me the wrong way on a number of levels.

On a side note about religion something from a conversation with eric and adam came to mind on my way back home, something about God's infallibility and something calling that into question, but really I don't know where the claim that God in the Judaiochristian form was infallible comes from, other than us, after all isn't the story about garden really about the creator's fallibility, he we are supposed to be his greatest creation and not only does he muck it up at first and not make it possible for us to reproduce like all his other creations where he had to go back and make the woman after the fact, but then he makes us in such a way that he can say don't do that and we still do, basically a design flaw on his part when you think about it, so this claim that God is infallible seems spurious.

Also I am severely snuggle deprived. That needs fixed this weekend, oh yes, it does.
