The Celtic Storm

Every morning, I open my e-mail with hope in my heart. And as of late, I have been nothing but disappointed on a daily basis. See, there has definitely been a lack of hate mail in my inbox as of late. Has everyone finally realized that I am right and there is no logical reason to argue with me? Is everyone giving up? I don’t think so. I discuss a lot of hot button topics. Things that get people talking. And disagreeing. Usually with me. So what’s the problem? Are people finally catching on that disagreeing with me will just lead to me overwhelming them with facts and logic? Of course not, illogical people don’t wake up one day, suddenly infused with logic. So where has all of the hate e-mail gone?

Some may find it odd that I’m writing about how I wished that I received more hate e-mail. One would think that I’m asking for it, trying to pull them out of the woodwork. I kind of am. See, here’s the thing: I’m not trying to win an argument, as most of the things I discuss have clearly defined sides. It’s like abortion, you’re either strongly for or against it. There’s no real middle ground in between the two. You either want to blow up doctors who perform abortions, or blow up the people who want to blow up doctors who perform abortions. So I’m not trying to win the argument. People tend to be set in their ways and there’s little point in attempting to change them. They believe what they believe and that’s the end of it. So it’s not an argument that I’m looking for, I’m not even trying to have the last word. I’m trying to get people talking. Look at what I discuss; the topics I discuss are of a very argumentative nature.

Look, my thoughts and opinions are not the be-all-end-all to anything. I have been known to be wrong, once or twice, in my 29 years. Opinions are like music. It’s all a personal preference as to what you approve of and disapprove of. I can’t be critical of someone who believes in something as hard as I do, even when it’s the opposite opinion. At least they’re as enthusiastic as I am. It’s those without an opinion that irritate me. I can try to point out why I think their opinion is wrong, but there’s a key phrase in there. “Why I think” is the phrase. Many of life’s problems don’t have a clear-cut, yes or no answer. There’s a whole bunch of grey area. Mathematics usually is the only thing with a yes or no answer. It depends on each individual situation, to develop an answer. Which is why I get pissed at the Republican dickheads (I am a registered Republican) who say they would reverse Roe v. Wade, even in the case of rape. Really? Is that how they feel about their fellow human beings? Have they not thought about all of the repercussions from such an act? How would you feel if you were a child produced via rape? How would your mother feel? What if their wives got raped? They’d happily raise that child, free of resentment? Or would little Johnny Rape, be daddy’s whipping boy?

I can give you ideas as to how each situation could end, but that’s all it would be, an idea. It’s not a personal experience that I can speak on. However, there’s one I can. Rape. People tend to get upset about my “Mandatory Death Penalty for Child Molesters” group on Facebook. And I’m sorry, bitch all you want, but I’d personally pull the switch on the chair before I’d pay another cent in taxes to house a convicted child molester to sit in jail. Say whatever you want and I can counter with an argument. I’ve been there. And that’s usually where an argument should end. But it never does.
