Black rhino =/= human

Dear dumbfuck, bleeding-heart, ignorant, elitist assholes:

It is with all sincerity we kindly ask you to remove yourselves from the gene pool before retarding our species’ intellectual growth any further.

Best regards, Humanity

This man, who won an auction sanctioned by our government with the approval of the Namibian government (who should be getting at least some of the money from the auction proceeds), is not doing this for the same reasons stupid-ass Americans hunted buffalo to extinction.

Yes, I’m sure he enjoys hunting, the adventure, the danger, etc. - bringing the head back is, indeed, over-the-top - but he has been given permission to hunt a SINGLE, SPECIFIC rhino. He has not been given permission of any kind to uninhibitedly slaughter them out of existence. Like the Americans did to the buffalo.

The reason the Namibian government allows this is mainly because the rhinos live in Namibia, and the people there who study the animals know what they do. They are especially familiar to what old, full-grown bulls will do to calves or young bulls: Kill them. Perhaps the bulls don’t like how they smell. Perhaps the bulls sense some innate inferiority in a particular calf. Perhaps the bulls are afraid of the competition. Maybe the bulls just flat-out hate their young. Maybe scientists have a specific reason, but I haven’t looked for it yet. What I do know is those few thousand pound, full-grown bulls have zero qualms goring their young with that enormous horn. They kill the children for whatever reason the bull feels is a good reason.

In other words, the bull is a lot like long-expired members of government whose only directive is using the people and preventing competition until they somehow die. Sad truth, but that’s how it is.

Anyway, by killing the bull that’s on a sort-of rampage, the calves have a chance to actually grow up. The children have one less problem to deal with, and that’s a pretty good thing. So, this guy has paid to help at least slow that particular population of black-rhino.

Of course, there are all sorts of questions we could ask: “How did they survive before we started killing the insano-bulls,” “But, it’s inhumane to kill any animal, so why don’t they just tranquilize it,” and “Why are you playing God?”

All of these questions are very simply answered: Shut the fuck up, you inferior wastes of otherwise useful, basic, cosmic elements. I would use you people as fuel for space exploration rather than risk you procreating.

In a more serious, bare-bones, attempted all-inclusive answer, the humans who truly care are trying their best. I don’t care if the hunter cares. He could be the biggest dumbass in Texas who is only using this as an excuse to shoot something big. The point is, he’s doing it under the supervision of the Namibian government at their behest, and he’s only killing that one.

It’s an answer to a problem. Being able to stop poachers would be an enormous boon to the rhino population, but we don’t see any of you bitches who make death threats shipping yourselves to Namibia to help them stop the ILLEGAL killings. The best answer to help black rhinos would be to completely remove humans from the planet.

In fact, the planet would fare better as a whole. So, by all means, those of you who immediately respond to shock media by transforming into spitting, slobbering, babbling morons, please, go die and make room for our own specie’s children to grow in a slightly-less ignorance-choked world.

Most apt picture I've seen so far.

You all know this. 

A very rare, "I can't even" moment.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jan/06/real-american-sniper-hate-filled-killer-why-patriots-calling-hero-chris-kyle At first, I thought I'd go off on a ridiculously long rant responding to this article. Then, I attempted to think. Instead of analyzing her article, what if we analyze her in a similar fashion as a movie? We are going to take someone we know absolutely nothing about, and develop a treatise which will, hereafter eternally, be viewable the Internet over. Outwardly, she is obnoxious, unfit, self-serving, prejudiced, narrow-minded, and untalented. Her life's story is no different than millions; her life is of no more consequence than millions. She feels she deserves something for the relative nothing she has put into her life. She reviews the purpose of films as if she is a victim of something she will never experience. She thinks she has knowledge and wisdom of a world she has not lived. Her award(s) is unfounded and no more than a "Thank you for playing" in the journalist community. She demonstrates a North American, West Coast, hipster ignorance that has become popular for its supposed open-mindedness. Inwardly, however, I'd like to believe Ms. Lindy is as much a human as everyone else on the planet. Though her societal stature has demarcated an ability to assume the role of several humans, which gives her that many times more credence to critique the character of others, I will hold faith her heart is no nearer failure than anyone half of her own character. She means well in that she feels people should research those they would call a "hero" before bestowing the title; however, if the details of everyone's life were available to the public, Muhammed, Jesus, Buddha, etc., would be grey characters in every history book. We all need heroes. Sacrifice their bad for their good. Emulate their good side, but do not forget their humanity.

Why can't I remember? Names, faces, people, events. They're gone. There's a feeling left. Like a hole where an uprooted tree stood. Pieces of pictures are all that's left. No emotion attached to them. Did they really happen? Were they all just dreams? Is this all just a nightmare I can't wake from?

Why can't my sleep problems lead to this?

Finding what you're looking for

Someone I know once told me his whole family holds the belief nothing good comes from introspection. As someone who has spent most of his life afraid of saying what I mean, doing what I want, and being what I want to be, this sounded like sage advice. Spending too much time worrying about nothings has taken its toll, and it's cost me more than one love so far. Was he right, though? Does cutting out self-consciousness totally do any good? Would it have helped me to be like that in those relationships I truly believed were better than I will ever have or deserve? Would that level of wanton ignorance be a blessing in the search for someone new? Is being how I am good enough? Were those really the perfect relationships I utterly fucked up? A part says I will never have love again, but another part rails against that notion because it all comes down to knowing what you want, having a goal, beginning at the end. Looking back, I never had those. I was so wrapped up in just getting into a relationship, I refused to see what truly was happening before my eyes. It almost killed me. Self-destructive, suicidal, depressed, angry, empty. Yet, because simply having someone meant more to me than being with them, I failed to turn away, and it hurt us both. I was too afraid to be me, so I settled with being a hideous visage of myself. Wearing different faces day-in day-out, and the longer it continued, the worse the relationships got. My relationship experience is little: Two, long-term things that turned into nightmares. Yet, both had several common denominators: 1) Me being an idiot; 2) Me not knowing what I wanted - which would have prevented both of those even starting in the first place. Sure, I liked them, but in the end, we didn't know each other fully. Looking back now, I can't believe we actually managed to get anywhere in the first place. We did like each other, but we settled. NEVER SETTLE FOR A WHOLE. Sure, once you know what you want, you may overlook certain aspects (physically, mentally, etc.), but NEVER give up everything for someone. If you're waking up irritated by being next to them, by having to call/text them, or by having to see them, you have overstayed your welcome in that relationship. Now, before arguing over the above, I mean irritated by everything they are for more than just a short time. People argue, disagree, fight, etc. Those do happen, but those aren't what I mean. If you either can't say "I love you," or it only feels like a hollow ring in your ears, things aren't working. It's time to change and find what you truly wanted all along. Finding that person or figuring out what they are is up to you. Like I said, I've only been in two, long-term relationships. Only ever been with five people total in a sexual sense. Taken me a long time to put much of any thought into why I messed up so bad. It would be nice to think myself as a person isn't terrible. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm as much of a monster as my exes accused me of being to them. Or, maybe we fit so poorly and fought it, we finally found we hated each other. Know what you want, take time to figure things out, be yourself, and don't let fear of anything push you away or pull you in. If a match is unlikely, don't rush. Save yourself and your other the loss down the road. Sure, feelings will likely be hurt, but you will only hurt more forcing a nightmare to continue. It's alright to walk away. It's alright to say "No." It's alright to be picky. Just be respectful.

Does the Bill Cosby thing confuse anyone else?

If you start from the beginning - not the recent accusations, the 1970's beginning - it's easy to put together a timeline. 1973-ish: Gives at least one victim Benadryl. Shit's strong if you've never had it before. Was probably more so back then. Rapes the girl. Then, as recent information has introduced, proceeded to pay them to keep it quiet. It stayed quiet. For 30 years, it was quiet. It'd have been impossible back then for any of his victims to step forward and claim rape. They'd have never stood a chance against someone as famous and powerful as he was. Plus, taking money to not say anything would have looked incredibly bad. Apparently, that's not an issue these days. Take the bribe, then turn around and play 100% victim. I have no interest in defending Cosby. He's no symbol of my childhood or of any attachment to me. It is unfortunate he wasn't torn down immediately after the first couple victims. That circles around to the original issue of his status and the definite protection he'd have had back then, however. Where I find issue is how these victims have gone about developing their case. Legal battles aren't cheap, and the statute of limitations has already cleared Cosby of his victims up to the 90's. Any good (business-minded) lawyer would have immediately turned down that case. There's absolutely no money in the accusations outside the statute of limitations. So, why would a lawyer do something as foolish as waste their time on a case pro-bono? Especially after their client(s) took a bribe? They couldn't possibly win unless they had evidence (which doesn't exist) or a confession (which in this case took about two years). How many hundreds of thousands of dollars went into the plaintiff side? How could they possibly hope to pay for all that? They couldn't. That's why they refused to drop it. After the bills began piling up, they knew they just had to wear Cosby down until he gave up and settled. This wasn't about justice. This was all about revenge. This was about money. What I am most interested to see is how much these primary victims walk away with once this is done. Cosby will be forced to pay their legal bills, but it will obviously not end there. These women will likely not only claim a ridiculous sum in "emotional damage" over the past 40 years, but it is guaranteed they will claim undue stress in their lives during the course of the legal battle. How many millions will Cosby lose just to satiate their greed? How much did he lose when pretty much everyone backed out of his comedy routines, TV show, endorsements, etc? He should never have gotten those things in the first place, but he certainly had the advantage back then. He deserves them even less now for having used his status and continuing on like nothing happened. He should lose his status, his money, and his fame. That much is warranted. But, he shouldn't have to give these harpies who waited 30+ years for their revenge a dime. He should pay their legal fees. That much is a given. However, the moment those once-victims put a price tag on their "suffering" (after having already accepted at least one bribe [with some having settled out of court after raising the issue before this most recent case]), is the moment justice will have been a lie. Bill Cosby is a damn moron. First, for even considering rape as a worthwhile endeavor. Second, for paying off those women. Third, for not fighting this to his grave (no matter how early). I hope he is ashamed of himself, and I hope all those people who worked with him to cover it up and defend him are, too. That being said, I cannot but hope he does one thing right. Like give all his money and estate to charity, then claim bankruptcy. Give everything he owns (though it is tainted) to people who do matter and had no part of leeching a has-been. Those once-victims deserve nothing from him but an apology. They deserve no money, no mention in history, no sympathy as "victims", no publicity, and no thought once this is over. Unless... Unless they do that one thing we could only expect of truly honorable people: Refuse any money. Take no money but the legal expenses and all costs associated with the case. Insist any profit to be had be given to, say, cancer research, women's shelters, health clinics. Places/organizations people who are sick or have been abused go to when they need help. That's a dream, though, isn't it? They'll take the money they "deserve" because they're "victims", and they needed "justice". All we need to do now is wait and see the price tag of their "suffering". Watch and wait while real victims are in hospitals, therapy, mental wards, and shut-ins.

I have the same stein.
