Goatse is not an argument for God.

So there I was on Twitter, when I saw this:

Open letter to Vic Toews

Dear Minister Toews,

I'd like to voice my concern about the Government's intent to pass Bill C30, or as it is known, the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act. As a Canadian citizen who uses the Internet, I am supremely concerned that the Conservative government is interested in co-opting my Charter rights for the ease of prosecution. While titled to be defending children from Internet predators, the actual bill's language refers only to general situations. We have no assurances that the rights co-opted by your government shall be used only in the situations suggested in the rationale. Perhaps there is only the greatest of intentions with this bill, but you are surely aware of what the proverbial road to Hell is paved with.

Fuck Russia

Seriously, fuck Russia.

What stupid douchebags they are. Yes, Syria is an area traditionally in the Soviet sphere of influence, but they're murdering their own people by the bucketload. Fuck Russia.

Fuck China too. It's pretty simple. These asshole countries don't want NATO kicking the ass of a country that kills their own people, because they kill their own people too and don't want to mix it up with NATO. I don't blame them. Some USS Enterprise + HMS Illustrious up their ass would fuck their day, assuming nobody presses the big red button.

But Syrians deserve rights. And NATO should protect those rights. I hope we roll in and give al-Assad the same big "fuck you" we gave to Gaddafi. AKA - I hope we bomb him into oblivion and make sure that the rebels have a fighting fucking chance. You can't just send tanks on your own people. We shouldn't put up with that. We shouldn't have to. We should stop this bullshit. We have the power, and we should use it for good. Not Iraq stuff...but actual good.

This is why Obama is a good president, btw. Because he works with NATO, because he respects the Arab League and other similar organizations. The Arab League begged the UN to intervene, but Russia said no. And China, but they'd have fallen in line.

Fuck you, Russia. I don't care how big the man-crush I have on Vladimir Putin is. Fuck you.

1916

16 years old when I went to the war,
To fight for a land fit for heroes,
God on my side, and a gun in my hand,
Counting my days down to zero,
And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,
And I never did get any older,
But I knew at the time that a year in the line,
Is a long enough life for a soldier,

We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names,
And we added two years to our ages,
Eager for life and ahead of the game,
Ready for history's pages,
And we brawled and we fought and we whored 'til we stood,
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder,
A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun,
And that's what you are when you're soldiers,

I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,
Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,
And I fell by his side, and that's how we died,
Clinging like kids to each other,
And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood,
And I wept as his body grew colder,
And I called for my mother and she never came,
Though it wasn't my fault and I wasn't to blame,
The day not half over and ten thousand slain,
And now there's nobody remembers our names,
And that's how it is for a soldier.
