Part 4: Let's stick all of our problems on one thing!
Okay, this is something that really pisses me off. I don't think that many of you are going to like me for posting this. But here we go.
I believe that if there's one mistake that society makes, it's not being able to identify an issue. I live in Connecticut, and a few years ago, I was in Hartford and the Westboro baptist church was there. I told my friend to park, because I wanted to go talk to them. He told me "You have a deathwish, bro," but he parked anyways. I talked to one of the women standing on the curb. She was holding an orange/yellow sign that said "GOD HATES cigaretteS" on it. She was with a little boy who looked to be two, who was apparently her son. I asked her about her views, and she tried to point every finger she could at homoloveuals for causing our country's problems. She even tried to explain to me how their plastic "toys" apparently caused our shortage of oil leading to increased gas prices. I asked her how religious her family was, and her son proceeded to tell me bible stories. When he was done, instead of "the end", he yelled "God hates cigarettes" at a particularly angry looking man across the street.
It's not like religious institutions are the only people guilty of this. Everyone really is. Anti-Video game activists are another profound example. Apparently, previous mental instability doesn't matter in the case of a violent crime, that person was one of millions of gamers who are all apparently due to go on a rampage because they play games. Let's ban violent movies, books, TV shows, and songs while we're at it. Really, my patience is wearing thin here. I can't write any more
