Pretty people get stoned


BLM:90 WHM:90 SMN:90 THF:90 WAR:90 DRK:90 RNG:90 PLD:90

It's kind of funny to have messed up characters with names like "Betteroffdead" running around.  But it's not so funny if people are harassing you and this guy pops up all day long to kind of SUGGEST that you are "better off dead".  Still other more creative names like "Enjoylife" or other hack names, serve to intimidate people that "deserve" it.  And the game has been around 10 years and the expert people at the GAMEMASTERS convention never once thought oh someone might commit suicide if they get harassed too much.  Still more harassement can come from 3rd party /tells or pop-ups that serve to STUN your mind while you are doing stuff, this practice can go on all day and GMs can't even stop it( or so they SAY ).  I once had to send out /tells to random people explaining what was happening.  ONLY THEN did the tells stop.  GMs couldn't stop it, but if I told PEOPLE people ... THEN that was worth some respect.

Think about how it must feel to get interrupted all day long.  Wouldn't that drive you crazy?  Wouldn't that make you a rattled mess when OTHER interruptions happened for good reason?

This is an evil game with evil people in it and in charge of it but it's gonna get fixed and others like it.  I hope that SOME good people are left when it's all done. 

I imagine whole gangs of people, with their pop ups or jab-statements ready to pounce someone on TWITTER much like they did to me in this game.  Why, because it's hard to change your stripes is why.

Now tt's time to get sacrilegious up in here. Now remember that if I don't INTEND to insult you, you can't hold me guilty of a criminal act (wait of course you can if you're the POLICE and are willing to lie) which is the verbal assault of someone with intent to incite violence. So as you read this keep in mind what racism is and then, if you don't agree that racism is bound by intent, I will address your infirmity.

Jesus was a pretty person. I have often wondered what it would be like to be him or around him or even wondered what type of person he is. I can't believe 3 kings would come to visit his birth, unless they had some connection to the local royalty. I can't believe the king would want him killed, unless the child was not royalty. I believe that it was a tumultuous reality he was born into. And because all men are terrible and the most terrible and ugliest tend to be king, I imagine Jesus' mother was probably VERY beautiful and hence produced a JESUS man. 

(...it's not COLD you're just dying~)

I imagine knowing his father was a great man, but never being able to see him, gave him an incredible sense of spirit... aka an UNBROKEN spirit. And once he was old enough and got tired of spilling everyone's stuff without having to pay for it, he probably decided to take his proper place as leader, without earning the certifications of trust that REGULAR people had to. And him being the son of a king and son of a PRETTY WOMAN which in turn made him PRETTY, probably reassured his feelings of entitlement. And why not right? I mean if you have books and you've got entitlement, all you need now is a following.

I was watching Sarah Silverman's old videos on You Tube. She was REALLY good-looking when she was younger. It's a treasure trove really and it's all free.  The wonder for me was why Rachel had only thousands of followers, and SECupp has only thousands of followers and SarahK has MILLIONS. And at the same time Ann Coulter's not even verified.

It boggles my mind.

But after going through all those videos, It occured to me that entertainment is much more risky than journalism(as Bill Maher and Robin Williams could probably attest to). I found the old video of her on Alex's show and I saw her tell her that following a cause is hurtful to her career. So for a moment I wondered about that. Alex just spouted some nonsense about not caring, which really IRES me when people say that, but nevertheless I was left with the question of how following a cause is difficult.

Why is it difficult?

It's because comedians make their food from chopping at ALL of society.  When a rockstar sings about drugs for example, it's likely to start a conflict if their whole message is one-sided.  It's like when Seth MacFarlane got accused of having favorites and then he put a big long list of people he didn't "like" on his show. Hilarious but also a reminder that EVERYONE is fair game to a comic.

But that can't happen if you take up a cause.

The minute you have a soft spot, people don't think about the TRUTH of things, they think of YOU, as a preacher, with a soft spot. A preacher makes plain, hopefully in a funny way, things that are not right in the world. Rachel is like that, Sarah is like that. (ya'll don't think of Rachel as a comedian?) But let's say you are espousing these principles and now you have to defend something. You see, we all can only be good at certain things and when we DO those things, we can't KEEP DOING the other things.

This means a good attacker makes a poor defender. If Sarah slows up for second, like the shark, they realize they have no armor and instead of having level 10 attack and if they attack first they are invincible, now they have stopped to up their armor to level 2 and here comes another jerkoff level 6 attacker that should know better, except that he gets off the first attack and wins, and then she feels stupid for having armor. 

A philosopher like me let's say, is a magic defender.  I have like 10 armor.  You can say anything to me and I will probably understand why you did it and then it wont hurt because I am a king of hearts, I HOARD my innocence.  But at the same time, I don't attack people and worse I haven't tried it often which makes my attack level 2.  I HAVE been attacked often.  I can COUNTER attack pretty effectively so you better watch it.  (I am secretly trying to convince Sarah that we would make a great couple but shhh, nobody tell her.)

Let's think about billiards for a moment. I could teach you all a GREAT MANY THINGS about life by just making you expert at pool. Am I an expert? Oh yeah. One lady asked me once how long I had played pool and I told her all of my life and then she had herself a chuckle because she realized at that point that I was playing my game just so-so.

Sarah is like this in many respects I think. She has a level of deception just so-so thin. Enough to make her seem vulnerable yet dangerous enough she could YANK your feelings and leave you with that Cheshire Cat grin to preside over your dreams for a week.  And yet, she's SO good she leaves you wondering if you have hurt HER feelings. It's expert, much like a hustler is expert. 

No, I have never been a hustler, but I do like to entertain which is kind of the same thing except I don't do it for money. 

Still, my point in posting this entire thing is to bring to light the value of having a battery. Something that powers you to do greater things. I have told you before, as President(snark), that you should go out and do something illegal but to STOP doing it forever if you get caught by anyone. That's a battery. You can steal beers, like my father does when my mother isn't looking, and I mean it's stupid, she KNOWS, but I see the value of it if I stop to think about it... especially when I wonder at how the hell am I gonna have any fun when I am 70+ like they are.

People that are self-righteous are betting against uncivilized people.  You could call the uncivilized evil but let's stop saying that word that we are taught when we are children because the whole evil=forbidden=we have to kill them... makes me, and perhaps you, want to kill them. So let's stop that.

Uncivilized people try to get away with things. This tends to happen probably right after a visit to the mechanic or the dentist or like it happend in BAD LIEUTENANT... the doctor. When they see people set up with businesses taking EXTRA from people with less, you IGNORE your admiration for all the hard work that it must have taken to build that building, to earn that reputation through the years, to manage employees effectively... all that skill falls flat once you get your bill and it was 10% higher this time for no good reason except he knows you won't dispute it because YOU are nice and HE is not nice.  He's like entitled of something. Once a slew of these people start running up and down the highway at 80mph, it's time to start your righteous CHURCH business to calm them all down, if that's even possible. 

And that's why churches are SO necessary because losing your civility is VERY easy and getting it back is much harder.

But there are no rejects.   

People lose that lose some civility like just happened get it back over time, and some other people lose NOT SOME BUT ALL civility when they are attacked over and over by many people.  But even that can be reversed by simple time and peace/regeneration and love, imo.

This is why it is difficult to be a preacher/comedian/journalist/node. Because as you incite a response in people by your outrage, you are PULLING a following and by doing that, you have made yourself a node of society. I have said this before that Presidential candidates must have Rachel's approval because I like her so much.  I would say love but that just sounds fake. 

I only love people I have had sex with.  Don't know why but something about laying there with them makes them part of my body for a while and when that doesn't happen for too long, I know that I need them.  And if I need them, then I love them.  That's how it seems to me.  I love my parents and siblings much MORE than other people yet I can't explain why, just that my memories are FILLED with them so that's why I love them.  Everyone else I love less but if I spent a bunch of time with you, I probably have some love for you too. 

Everyone else, needs to have sex with me first if they want me to say I love them. 

Ok sidetracked, so that makes Rachel a node, you see? Many people might feel this way too because now, lazily, they don't have to do all of that thinking and vetting that is really a bunch of hard work and btw regular people have like 3 hrs tops after work that we can afford to spend on who is a good candidate... so it's easier if we just let HER decide for us.

We will just let our NODE decide.

And that's what happened to JESUS. He picked apart the selfishness of inequality, then picked apart what kindness meant, he showed us what miracles were, explained what it means to be rich and how people got there... and then...

he chose a side. He ACTED against the rich people. 

You see, in society many people will look for a town filled with bad people because that means people will pay them to make it even again.

Uncivilized people betray each other... it's not hard.

And because this happens, the town begins to fall apart as the selfish need to "do it to the other guy first" quickens the pace of the town's demoliton. So there's money in fixing it, but don't do it to soon because usually if there's a good mix of that civilized and uncivilized, you are gonna run into a problem...

civilized people don't betray anyone.

They want everyone to get along and they want noone in jail and if there are any problems, music and scotch and some old YouTubes of Sarah Silverman doing comedy, will get you past all that nonsense. Break out the karaoke and someone tell that girl that if she takes this beer from me, even though there is nowhere to stand, she can sit on my lap. Good times.

Instead of that(I don't do segues), let's say too many people are going to jail.

Now people can't go to the bars without risking a DUI. Now TRUST has fallen apart. Someone betrayed you. It's time to do it to them. But it's gonna be an even BIGGER betrayal next time isn't it? People just hate being surprised when it's bad news, and that little feeling of surprise counts for something ya? When you go to get even, you're gonna want THEM to feel that little WTH feeling. And if they are insensitive, well then you're just gonna have to MAKE SURE it hurts them enough that they are NOT insensitive enough to get away without squirming.

That's a whole lot of hatred idn't IT. Those poor unfortunate souls.

Ok so now let's skip all that business and imagine what happens after this whole revolution occurs. STRICT rules go in place. TAXES are raised to the highest order so that rich people CAN'T afford to bribe people in the future. EVERYONE gets their privacy revoked. Here goes your ID card if you ever want to come back in here just slide it through the reader and then wait for your stamp that is color coded for today. It's a whole lot of righteousness after a revolution right?

It kind of reminds me of the Constitution. 

So when there is TOO MUCH of that, it's time to start your SECRETS business. Righteous people are far too trusting, so let's use that. Let's take say the tank top rule in bars (that doesn't allow tank tops) and put a shirt under it. Tank tops are STILL forbidden but they will allow them that way but it's not written they have to allow it and therefore you're still BREAKING the RULES but meh they will allow it. And once you got that, you got yourself a drug-dealing business!

Once you've got people believing what they know in their heart ain't true, you've got em by the BALLS. - Sin City

You see once someone turns a blind eye, it's blackmail time, it's switcheroo time, it's time to make them turn a blind eye when I sell my drugs or whatever ELSE is forbidden. It's time for darkness.

So that's my point there. No good deed goes unpunished. Too much niceness leads to cruelty.  The universe rights itself. You don't have to get even because it will happen by itself ALL on its own. For every 50 good people at the bar just having a good time, 50 people can get away with stuff and the PLACE won't be considered a bad place.

Sarah by choosing a side, limits herself, because instead of using her ability to dissect ALL of the populace, now she has to be nice to HER PEOPLE, which she can't betray which is DEATH to a comic(as she puts it) because she needs to be able to say ANYTHING just to explore in her mind, and ours, what it means to THINK those things.

"I once gave a guy a fake number and then felt bad about it so I MOVED there."  (paraphrase from her) This quote was one of her first jokes and it's just a little bit like Azura isn't it.  OVERKILL for one feeble act that totally MUST be rectified.  But it's not real, it's something for you to feel and maybe de-sa-vu the next time you have a ridiculous feeling that reminds you, "hey that ONE JOKE, it's like that one joke, I just trashed this guy's car just because he didn't call me..." or "I just bought his house for a ridiculous price just because I coughed at him once in public".  

OVERKILL is a beautiful thing. 

After the disgusting acts of 9/11, and what followed, our nation is sort of on the mend.  We are trying to make up for that by being nice I think and it's a good thing because we can't really stop it anyways.   So all you rich people, do your charity work, charge up your "batteries" that fuel the magic and fantasy that is comedy or journalism or philosophy. The more you do good things the more secrets you will keep. the more you attack people, the more charities you'd better fuel. 

If people see you as a balanced person, they won't fear you like they would someone who treats some people better than others.

And losing your temper in a marketplace set up at the church, is a sure way to spark fear. It's like Moses and the Rock. He was supposed to pray for the rock to bring forth water but he just struck it in disgust with his staff. Maybe he didn't mean to lose his temper but having lost it once means it could happen again.

People in charge of doing magic for you get REALLY PISSED if you strike them with your staff.

As I am writing this it is helping me see what losing MY temper must seem like to others. I have the perhaps "entitled" mindset that when I lose my temper, everyone in my place would get angry. 

And no, being prejudiced or racist is not forbidden, because a great many people do it to me and sometimes they do it to Alec Baldwin. If anything should be forbidden is the KNOWING that you can abuse others or treat them differently. But we can't do that, so EVERYONE must have this knowledge. And they should try it and try it often, and if they abuse someone and get caught, they should NEVER do it again.

Sometimes you might even get used to abusing people and you might think that as long as they don't complain you can KEEP ON abusing people, much like the way I used to think that there had to be PROBABLE CAUSE to be arrested for DUI.

If you scare people, the general public won't care much if the cops mess you up. Keep that in mind. Keep that Oklahoma execution in mind. Keep Ariel Castro's "questionable" suicide in mind. In fact, keep in mind that having a 50/50 society, means evil exists not very far from where you LIVE, and probably not WHERE... you would expect.
