Although I talk about politics some times,
I actually hate it.
One thing I hate is all this 'political correctness.'
First of all, it is bullshit.
It's all like: "I really should do one thing,
but because this one thing will 'offend' some people,
I'm going to do the opposite. Just to make them happy."
It's so bad to offend people these days.
When it is their own choice to be offended, in the first place.
Right? Like: "What so and so did/said was so offensive,
because it goes against what I personally believe."
People have the right to think and believe whatever they want.
But because of that 'right,'
when something happens that they find offensive,
that right feels like it's been violated when it actually hasn't been.
It's not as though the offence stripped them of the right
to think or believe whatever they want,
but anything contrary to those thoughts is an opposition,
not necessarily an offence.
An opposition isn't a violation.
But somehow, for some reason, it gets treated like one.
Which is stupid.
I know this is stupid, but I have Oppositional Defiance Disorder.
People are mostly afraid of 'offending' people
from different races or religions.
The racism card and "it goes against my religion."
Nobody can change their race, it isn't a choice,
but they do have the choice not to play 'the race card'
or feel or act like a victim because of their race or religion.
Race and religion are two main reasons for discrimination,
But it doesn't mean we are all going to discriminate, all the time.
Why do people choose to take certain things so personally?
They don't have to. They can choose not to.
Again, I'm one to talk, though. I have taken some things pretty personal
that are pretty meaningless in the scheme of things.
I wish I didn't. But what it is... Is that I have to make better choices.
In all areas in life, not just those things.
Life is about living one choice at a time.
And choosing not to make a choice is still making a choice.
The issue with this election we just had (last year)
was that the Liberals promised to decriminalise marijuana.
Which made most, if not all marijuana supporters vote for them.
Just for that one reason alone.
All these 'promises' they make seem like bribes to me.
Funny thing is, there's already a marijuana party.
Which will probably never get into power,
because only the marijuana supporters vote for them.
People get pissed off for being confronted about their screw ups.
They dodge the hard questions in the House of Commons.
And they shift the focus on other issues.
Is it politically incorrect to answer to a charge being put to you?
Is it so offensive when the offence was already made on the public?
Why is it so politically incorrect to ask some questions?
To the point that a few questions are illegal to ask.
(I can only think of one question that is illegal, but there could be more).
If we have the freedom of speech, then why is it illegal to ask a question?
Why do people skirt around actually answering the questions?
Patrick Brown was asking Wynn about Hydro
and asking her to defend her decision
or at least explain why she made that decision. To sell out on Hydro.
But all she kept talking about was unemployment.
How the Liberals created jobs.
1/4 of full time jobs in Ontario (excluding private contracts)
are jobs in the government.
Not everyone can get a job in the government.
Even though it makes it seem like anyone can.
And they relocated these jobs from rural communities to Toronto.
Which takes the money out of these rural communities.
Rural communities keep getting screwed.
They have to pay higher rates for public transportation for example.
To take 'express' busses that only go out to their areas.
To bring them downtown. To their government jobs.
Rush hour is when these government workers all get off work at the same time.
Except for the ones who try leaving work early to try and avoid rush hour.
But this only makes rush hour start earlier than it used to.
There's too many ins and outs of politics to keep on top of it 24/7
unless you work in politics or for the government.
Which is another reason I hate it and always will.
But this is what you get when you live in the capital of a country.
Sometimes it's all anyone talks about.
Even politics in sports.
Even in just society.
