DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
By Felix Vasquez, in for Neal Bailey
Ever see that guy who is so machismo fueled, pumping his fists, flexing his muscles, but if you came up on him, he really wouldnt put up much of a fight because basically he's a pussy? That's us.
We. are. pussies.
And what did we do to show the other countries that we're muscle-bound, big dicked, take no prisoner individuals? We invaded a country! Yes, we sure did.
We. are. pussies.
I can not say that enough, because god damn is it ever true these days.
What has this generation learned about hardships? What does this generation know about suffering? I don't know what real suffering is. I've had obstacles, both healthwise and psychologically all my life, but what do we know about suffering, really? The holocaust, world war one and two, the civil war, civil rights movement, we haven't had that. We havent fought for a cause.
We don't know suffering. Because we're pussies.
We're the breast fed, MTV lovin', cellphone usin', botox taking, palm pilot using pussies who have no idea what real human suffering is when it comes down to it, because we've never experienced it.
We're this new generation of bottom feeding shit for brains who think the earth is the center of the universe, the US is an island on to itself, and we care more about celebrities than we do about what's happening to our country.

We are so obsessed with not offending one another,
Citation
Heaven forbid, that we forget to actually look after ourselves.
Citation
We're the people who want to believe fast food isn't as bad as we think, so it gives us a reason not to blame ourselves for being fat greedy pigs.
Citation
And when we become fat, we expect sympathy, and we take the easy way out, instead of suffering for our goal:
Citation
When Morgan Spurlock's "Supersize Me" arrived in theaters as a blunt look at the effects of fast food with an actual purpose, people complained more about it attacking McDonald's instead of how the movie was. People defended McDonald's almost going as far as calling Spurlock a liar for creating such a great experiment.
We're the people who bitch about free expression, but moan when someone practices it.
Citation
Citation
When we're being monitored 24/7 ala "1984", you have no one else to blame but yourself.
We are people who think Creationism is keen, but think evolution is crap, in spite of undeniable evidence:
Citation
We're the people who cared more about a billow of smoke signaling the self appointing of a new religious hatemonger at an antiquated position, instead of what was happening with our soldiers in an endless war in a foreign country.
Is it any surprise that this new pope is the exact same religious hate monger we've had in the past who cast gays as inhuman?
We're the people who care more about two beautiful people fucking, then we do the current state of poverty in America.
Citation
And we exploit human suffering for readership through sensationalism:
Citation
We're the people whom are against abortion, but don't give a shit about killing, and or torturing innocent little kids
(Check any of Neal's columns).
We are the people whom are still not completely sure if we revolve around the sun, or vice versa. Yes, this was discussed, but, god, it shocks me just to write that, and it depresses me just to keep reading that. Knowing that bit of knowledge should be as common, "wipe your ass after every shit".
In case you dont want to look for it, here it is again:
Citation
No, we're not evolving.
We're DE-volving folks. I'm seeing it daily.
Citation
Why this tirade? Because I'm saddened. I am so saddened for this country, for this world right now. We dont want to learn about history, we dont want to explore inhumane crimes, because, as this country goes "ignore the problem, and it will go away", correct?
Well, turn your head right now, and look to your TV, or go to sleep, and say "It's not that bad", keep saying it. But when you wake up in the morning you'll find your world has imploded on to itself. Because, if you just ignore it, it will surely go away. Right? Are you paying attention?
