Free for me, not for thee

So these different “things” have been banned in America. Not in the whole of America, but enough to be a problem.

  • Books, – A surprising list of recently banned books (Penguin).
  • Abortions,
  • Trans Health/Medical Care
  • Being able to bring up your trans child/youth
  • Kinder Chocolate eggs, and not guns.
  • Trans people and sports.
  • White girls can walk around campuses with guns on their shoulders. But you arrest a Sikh for wearing a Kirpan?

Very, very tired

*bounces back and forth on feet* Listen up people! It is perfectly acceptable that two people are abusers and abused at the same time. Since D has now been found guilty of abusing A TWICE now, D IS an abuser. But A is also. That’s why their therapist calls it “mutual abuse”. Quiet frankly I don’t like either of them. #teamnoone

America is no longer the land of the Free, the Land that Fears might suit better. Which is pretty ironic when you think that America is one of the biggest “God will protect us”. You are not free when you put killing tools above the lives of human beings. Then turn around, less than 24 hours later, and try to make a group of people non-existent, AND at the same time have a go at legit angry people “burning down towns”. …

Keep going? Cool…

Liking animals does not automatically make you a good person, you still need to be a good person in spite of that. You might be less of a psychopath, but it still doesn’t make you a good person. You SHOULD like animals, doesn’t have to be cats and dogs, but what kind of weirdo doesn’t like an animal of some sort.

Oh, and if white, straight, middle aged, rich, people with huge platforms could shut up, for like two seconds. That’d be SO fantastic, for EVERYONE.

In conclusion, just let other people LIVE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

Oh, by the way, the Nazi Swatski, is NOT the same as the older cultures that used the symbol of the Sickle.

Proud Service?

*I’ve been debating with myself or not to actually post this. I have not served, but this gentleman has. Although I feel it is disrespectful, at the same time. If you’re not fighting for reasons other than to free people from Tyranny. I don’t see how fighting for a flag or an anthem is why you should be fighting. How can you go and fight for other people to be free and safe, and then come back to your own country and deny fellow citizens the same freedoms? I have been rescheduling and rescheduling…I don’t feel 100% comfortable with this*

I made a spelling mistake, but I was ON FIRE! When are these Trump supporters going to actually think for themselves for once? There’s nothing sadder to me than a Vet who went to fight save others, but wants to censor and stop bringing attention to their OWN CITIZENS plights…Cause Trump says so…You know that guy who doesn’t even know the word to the song?

I was talking to this Vet before I went to bed last night and I originally had scheduled this post. I always have an issue, if I start something before I go to bed. I always wake up the next morning regretting it. I did this morning as well again, like “Omg, I was arguing with a Vet” but I’ve kept this scheduled post, because it’s something that needs attention.

WHY…

WHY OH WHY OH WHY

…Are their Vets who jump when Trump says so? When Trump hasn’t done anything for them, he can’t even bothered to learn the words to the song that he’s trying to “own the libs” on. I have a feeling that donating part of his salary to the VA and the Vet Act to expand health care…Which is good and I would LOVE the Act to be enacted…But also because he’s been totally been failing in that regard.

This is my problem with people who have a problem with people who “take the knee”…See my problem?

Problem

In case you don’t have a single social media account, which is entirely possible. You may or may not have missed the whole #taketheknee who-ha. If you did, here’s a bit of a break down:

There is an American Colin Kapernick football player, who takes the knee in a peaceful protest against the very obvious racism in American, nothing at all to do with military…That is until Donald Trump, a war dodger said that anyone who takes the knee should be arrested. Without speaking to a single person who does take the knee, he just decided it was against the military….The guy who dodged the war and has never spent a day fighting in his life, is suddenly an expert in War. Suddenly people had a problem, when just the weekend before when Kapernick did the EXACT same thing and I doubt any of these people even noticed.

Then all hell broke loose. people started using pictures of dead soldiers coffin…you know soilders who can’t speak for themselves, which is so respectful of course *insert sarcasm here*…The biggest irony I found that a lot of Vets supported Kapernick. A lot of them actually said…with their own words and mouths…They fought so that people could peacefully protest, Kapernick has never ONCE said anything against the military. They fought against their people to have the FREEDOM to not be under a Dictator. Yet, people are completely ignoring this!

This is where my ultimate problem comes in…

These exact same people who have a problem with Kapernick…Have NO problem with the white supremacist group. That only a couple of weeks beforehand had worn the swastika symbols on their the tops…The people are “fine people” and they have no problems with those people. These “fine people” wore a symbol that millions of people fought and died to get rid of. In Germany it is ILLEGAL to advertise that symbol. Where’s the outrage for the soldiers who died under that symbol, where are the pictures of the dead soldiers who actually fought the Nazis, the pictures of the people who died in the concentration camps. Where are the pictures of the concentration camps of people who died because of that symbol? Where is the outrage against the people who wore symbols that soldiers actually fought against, the whole reason that Kapernick can peacefully protest against the more than obvious racism problem in America.

These people NEED to ask themselves why it’s alright to turn their backs on people who are just wanting their fellow countrymen to be safe…But yet don’t make a single noise about the white supremacist who wore a symbol that is ILLEGAL in Germany, who the allies actually fought against.

You are free to turn your backs on the NRL players, just as we are free to call you out on it. Being Free doesn’t mean you are free ONLY if everyone agrees with you?

In a shot of complete coincidence, I was watching “Band of Brothers” probably the most depressingly awesome series ever. Not just on War, but just an incredible series. There is one episode, I’ve seen it about 15 times “This is why we fight” I know it’s coming, yet, I can’t stop the tears. I can never watch with other people, it’s devastating. As I watched that episode again today, I found this article as well. If you can’t understand why you should be outraged by those “fine people” after watching that episode and reading this article…I am just going to assume that you have no heart.

Band of Brothers: how it’s episode was also it’s most devastating. 

 

Just relax

I think that the hardest thing to do in this world is just too truly and utterly 100% relax. The last month or so have been really hard for me, I’m living pretty much pay check to check this past month. This usually happens to me twice a year. Usually a month before the busy times at my work happens. It’s part of the reason I am looking for something more permanent.

Even though when I’m on holidays and planned ones, I will still worry…Maybe I shouldn’t have taken that week off, maybe I shouldn’t have bought that extra chocolate bar. It can get very overwhelming sometimes. Especially when I start to get upset at myself for buying that little extra treat.

I find the hardest thing to do is to my forgive myself. That’s when my head gets all messed up and I have to try and control my mind so I don’t get so upset that it gets me down all day. So I didn’t mean for this to become a kind of depressing post. I just wanted to share with you what I try to do to cheer myself up that either costs nothing or costs very little.

Books: Books are a great way to cheer myself up and a few other people too I do believe. The great thing about books is that they can actually be really cheap, and sometimes free if you know what you’re doing! Join a Library-Not only do they end up getting a lot of the newest books for you to borrow for free, a lot of Libraries will take requests for new books. A lot of Libraries also have books sales where they sell a lot of different items (not just books) at a heavily discounted price. Just recently I bought three dvds of movies I’ve been wanting for a while now for $6.00 ($2.00 each).

Walking/Dancing: I love to dance and lately I have been taking my dog for even more walks. When I go back to my Mums house, I feel like I NEED to take my dog for a walk, even though she’s little and we play a lot inside. Not only can both walking and dancing be done for free, but they both also release endorphin.

D.I.Y: I always find that over the years you tend to build up a collection of things that need to be done around the house. Now this can be expensive if you do it all in one go. Sometimes I find as well though when you think of the D.I.Y. projects that need to be done you go out and get that stuff. So over time it all builds up, including the materials you need for the project.

Series watching: Now what I mean by this is when you have a favourite television series and you just sit and watch it all day, or at least have it on in the background. Now this is a great idea for relaxing because watching or even just listening to a favourite show, has shown to relax and calm the mind down. I know myself, personally, I cannot fall asleep if I’ve watched something traumatic or some kind of horror film. One of the great things about this option is that there are so many different ways you can do this. Some retail outlet these days will have a deal, for example, 3 DVDS for only $30 (I recently did this one). Let alone the new streaming services. Which do cost a bit more money than a one-off, however, you can get great deals.

I did nearly put a bath in, to relax,…but the reason that I didn’t. It ultimately leads to your overall water bill and if you are anything like me. I usually end up staying in the bath for about 15 minutes. My partner can spend literally hours, but I just cannot do it.
