There is one thing we can be certain of
As a society we love to quote people. Through the undoubtedly wrong interpretation of somebody elses words we feel someody else has been through the same things that we have. Quotes can make a person look wise, and quotes can make you look like you read more than you actually do.
But we never mark the words that have made society suck; at some point some asshole came up with a shitty idea and had that eureka moment. That second where all of the right words came out of their mouth and they fully articulated their shitty disposition and somehow got most of us to agree with them, only we DON'T AGREE with them. We never keep track of who they were, we never make their family change their last name, yet their contributions make most of us utterly miserable everyday. This blog is my attempt to track these assholes down. Here is my list of things I believe were said by someone and not properly credited to shame their family. If you have any information as to who originally said these things send them to mrrpodcast@gmail.com and we will begin the process of properly shaming their families.
1. "If you can lean you can clean" What kind of a fucking asshole comes up with such an oppressive phrase? The only people who really have to deal with this bullshit are low wage fast food workers. Why not just fucking let them lean a bit? They make $7.00 as the depository box of all of the bullshit angst that you should be directing at your boss, but you need your job so you yell at the person that is not paid enough to care.
2. "Drugs sure are fun, let's make them all illegal." I don't know if this was ever said but I do imagine it happening. Why would anyone take up a cause that prevents people from doing something that they are clearly enjoying?
3. "We could actually charge for parking." As soon as a person opened up a pay parking lot we bought in. I'll bet that it was a tough sell the first time, but after that we all just lined up with a fucking dollar to rent a space to put a vehicle that society convinced us that we needed. I feel better paying for a ride on the fucking bus than I do to park in an empty lot. Why does every piece of land have to be turned in to a money making venture.
Fuck you, you parasite.
4. "I can't stand the cigarette smoke in this bar. I'm going to do something about it." I don't smoke, as a matter of fact I think I know a grand total of 3 people who smoke, but I don't see why we suddenly can't stand it. As a person who already thinks bars are just a place that charges people for the right to tell people that they went to a bar, I am not overly concerned with what happens inside of them. A guy who decides that there are people enjoying something that he doesn't like and that they should be exiled is an asshole.
I am not sure what I just wrote here, but I think I enjoyed writing it.
This world is in the business of making you feel empty so that you will buy more stuff that will make for a stronger economy. It is that simple. Even the left doesn't tell you to just stop consuming cheap shit that nobody needs. They claim to want to clean up the factories. How about we just close some, you know, like the ones that make silly bandz and pajama pants that look like jeans. It is an illusion of choice, but it really allows you less choice. Sure there are a million different types of televisions, corporations paid people to sit around thinking about how to make televisions, those people were smart enough to be figuring out other things like civil engineering, sustainable ways to feed every person on the planet, a cheap computer so that the poor have the same access to information that the rest of us do. The choice that is taken away is the one where you do the things that you want to. Do you think that great explorers in the past worked at a cobbler to raise enough money to buy a boat to sail somewhere when they were 50? No...They just fucking did it. They didn't have pointless credit cards and cars with televisions in them, because that is frivolous. Believe it or not, your kid can sit in the fucking car for a half hour without watching Spongebob Squarepants. You can live a rewarding life without owning some fucking square of land that has all of your stuff in it. I know that it is hard to believe but when you buy a $100.00 shirt there is a large segment of the population that thinks you look like a fucking asshole. Give your money away, stop buying energy drinks and skinny jeans. Act like we have progressed past the point of hoarding shit. When people are shoveling your "important stuff" into a dumpster after you die it is a burden. Nobody is going to want it, it only means something to you. Collect experiences with people, it is rewarding and great ideas happen when people work together. Think about your legacy, not the next thing that you need to buy.
