I Read the News today, Oh Boy.
I read a few news articles today, and the stupidity of the Human race never ceases to amaze me. The first article I read was about a US Marine being shot in the back of the head with an M-16. Was he killed by a terrorist? Was he attacked by an insurgent? Was it the result of Friendly Fire?
No.
He was lying down in his bunk, after watching Star Wars. One of his idiot buddies forgot that his other buddy's M-16 rifle was loaded, and it accidently went off, hitting the poor Marine in the head, and killing him. The two men where charged with Involuntary Manslaughter, and one is being charged with negligent discharge of a weapon, and the other is charged with dereliction of duty, additionally.
Marines are required to dry-fire their weapons into sand-filled barrels or sacks before they enter any building. After that, they're required to be checked by another soldier to make sure that they're unarmed. Apparently, even though this is a rule, there is no punishment for failing to follow it. What pisses me off, as it's pissing off the mother of the dead Marine, is that no one is being punished for what caused the accident: the fact the no one was following a very common sense rule.
Ok... I expect this kind of thing to happen amongst civilians - aka, normal people. I don't expect to see or hear about this shit when they're talking about MARINES. You spend months in training as a Marine. Don't they fucking teach you how to use your God damned head? The article also mentioned that the mother and the two Marines are making a "safety" video. What the fuck, seriously? These are the people that we are trusting to protect us.. and now, they need special "videos" to learn common sense? For the love of God...
Oh, and I'm not a complete prick. I'm sorry about the Marine's death, and I send my condolances to his family. Hopefully, in the future, such a stupid accident can be avoided.
In other news, the program, Toys for Tots, rejected 4,000 dolls.... of Jesus. I mean, holy fuck. Battery powered Jesus! Everyone wants one of those. I know I would. But Toys for Tots is run by the military, and the military, as a Government entity or whatever the hell, isn't allowed to prefer one religion over another. The toys are being given to children, and obviously, they know nothing of the children's religious or ethnic background. I guess they think it's a bad idea to give Jesus to a Jewish or Muslim kid, as the article mentioned.
What I think is stupid is that there is such a need for consideration. It's a toy. A toy is a toy. Religion, though something that is meant to promote love and peace, is one of the things that causes Humans to divide themselves. The fact that it causes wars and general unrest is obviously a given, but to think that it would affect something as simple and innocent as a toy is just ridiculous. I mean in both ways, where it's stupid that there is a toy like that in the first place, and where it's stupid that people are so sensitive to a TOY.
I find the fact that there are religious toys offensive. I have always believed that someone's religion should be their own choice, and not something they're forced into. Religion is a serious thing, and not fun and games; there should be no toys of it. Stop brain washing your fucking kids and let them decide on their own what they want to believe.
In our "weird and fucked up stories" department, I have the story of Michael and Sharen Gravelle, who had adopted 11 "Special needs" children and... had them all sleeping in cages. The children were between the ages of 1 and 15. They had varying disorders... but what irks me is that the lawyers for the "parents" are very confident that they will easily win the case. That's messed up. Children aren't animals, and they shouldn't be kept in cages.
It's sad that there should even be a consideration for these people being innocent. They're having trouble finding a jury for the trial, because everyone is biased against the couple in some way. I'm not surprised, personally. I don't see how the couple and their lawyers can claim that they weren't mistreating the children when the little fuckers were sleeping in CAGES. Because, being forced to sleep in a cage that is used to keep chickens isn't being mistreated at all. Oh, no.
And this case is yet another piece of evidence that the American Justice system is anything but. These people obviously have some issues and aren't fit to be within 10 feet of a child, but... there is need to prove it? Why is there not enough proof for you bastards? Why are they even being considered as "innocent"? What is wrong with this country, where people like this have even a chance of getting off without punishment?
Our last bit of news features the very image of idiocy.
The following video shows a man attempting to rob what looks like a 7/11, or something similar.
