Magnets

Well, I have finally found the motivation to post again. I guess my Jeezway idea didn't go over too well, only one person commented. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Anyways, I would like to make a grievance in this post. I'm calling out all you pussies with magnets that say "Support Our Troops" or "Good Bless America" on your car. Yeah, I'm talking to you! Specifically, I'm going to refer to the former magnet in this post (Support Our Troops).

Anyways, here is my problem with these people. I have no problem with people supporting our troops. I have no problem with people saying God bless America. I would just like to ask you one question though. Do you really think you're supporting our troops by having a magnet that says, "Support Our Troops," on your car? I mean, really, is that the best you can do to support your troops? I know, I'll buy a fucking magnet, put it on my car, and I'll look like a real American patriot. Fantastic....

I may be offending people by saying this, but frankly, I don't care. I'm tired of seeing these magnets of every single God damn car I'm behind. I'm tired of selling them to people at 7-11. Yes, the great institution of 7-11 sells these despicable magnets. Shocking! Anything for a buck, and then some. That statement pretty much sums up 7-11, in a nutshell. I would just like to say one thing to all you people with these magnets on your car. Get a fucking clue! Here is how you can REALLY support our troops:

There you go. Those are just TWO ways that you can REALLY support our troops. Instead of driving around town, with your little magnet decal on the back of you car, you can actually SUPPORT OUR FUCKING TROOPS. Why don't you pull your head out of your ass and do something meaningful? Instead of driving 5 MPH under the speed limit in front of me, with your little magnet decal on the back of your car, you can actually SUPPORT OUR FUCKING TROOPS. You know what you could have done with that five bucks you wasted on that magnet? You could have donated to the above two sites!

Sometimes, I just can't understand people in this country. Everyone is as high as a kite, and they just don't think. I'm not claiming to be the most thoughtful or intelligent person, but I'm not going to buy a magnet, stick it on my car, and then pretend like I'm some great big patriot. If I was to do anything, I'd donate to those above two sites. In other words, I'd actually do something meaningful. Or, if I was really adamant about the war, which I'm not, I'd go sign myself up for the army.

If you support the war, and are in the prime age range for the service, go ahead and sign up. Instead of having a magnet decal on your car, you can go be one of our troops, and people will SUPPORT YOU. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that people who support the war should join the service. I just want people to stop pretending like they're supporting our troops, when in reality, all they are doing is driving around with a "Support Our Troops" magnet on the back of their car. And like I said, if you are really adamant about the war, go ahead and sign up. I don't care if you're in college, don't use that as an excuse, go ahead and sign up. Don't let other people fight for your cause, if you really support the war effort, go ahead and join.

What does Support Our Troops really mean? Does it mean that we should support the war? If so, I don't support our troops. Does it mean that we should support the men and women fighting the war? If so, I do support our troops. Does it mean that we should all go out and buy "Support Our Troops" magnets? If so, I don't support our troops. Does it mean that we can't critize the military actions of our government? If so, I don't support our troops. I will critize the government until I'm blue in the face. Even if John Kerry had won, I would have been critizing him, and the rest of the government, if I thought they were doing something that I didn't agree with.

Basically, I'm just rambling on at this point, so I'll cut to the chase. I want people to put their money where their mouth is. Instead of spouting phrases like, "Support Our Troops," I want you to really think about what you're saying. Instead of putting a "Support Our Troops" magnet on the back of your car, I want you to realize that you're doing absolutely nothing by having it there. Well, besides pissing me off, of course. If that is your aim, you have succeeded, but if your aim was to support our troops, you have failed.

In closing, if you are one of the people I am speaking about in this post, please take the magnet off your car. Even if you don't, realize one thing. You are doing nothing to support our troops. Unless you have a family member in the service, you have no right to have that magnet on your car. It isn't okay, at least in my eyes, to put a "Support Our Troops" magnet on the back of your car, and then do nothing else to support our troops. And like I said, if you are of age to join the service, go ahead and do it. If you really support the war, go ahead and do it. I just hope that all those people with the "Support Our Troops" magnets are praying for you.

Well, that is enough of my ranting. Good night everyone.
