I Hate The Biased Crap Americans Call Media

General VoNguyen Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military. The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi : 'What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi . You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!'
General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam war was not lost in Vietnam -- it was lost at home. The exact same slippery slope, sponsored by the US media, is currently well underway. It exposes the enormous power of a Biased Media to cut out the heart and will of the American public.

Mrs. Fey never comments my awesome blogs

I'm sad that almost all of my blogs go uncommented. I wish I could get feedback on my creative blog ideas from Mrs. Fey. =(

The case of Fate vs Hope

Hope is defined on Dictionary.com as to look forward to the uncertain with desire and reasonable confidence.

After reading Slaughterhouse Five, I believe that hope is a non-existent force because there is no such thing as uncertainness when examining time. There is only fate.

In Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut argues that time is a human creation and that only humans view events as one moment after another. In other words, humans are only able to view the present dimension.

You started reading this article a few seconds ago, meaning that the moment you started reading this article is in the past. The moment you started reading this article has always existed and will always exist, even though humans cannot continue to see it.

This is the same concept that modern-day scientist use to examine time travel. Scientists believe that any given moment has always existed and will always continue to exist, even if it is in an alternative dimension. Time travel simply takes you to that moment.

This excerpt from Slaughterhouse Five best explains how the forces of time and fate work,
“How does the Universe end?” said Billy.
“We blow it up, experimenting with new fuels for our flying saucers. A Tralfamadorian test pilot presses a starter button, and the whole Universe disappears.”
“If you know this,” said Billy, “isn’t there some way you can prevent it? Can’t you keep the pilot from pressing the button?”
“He has always pressed it, and he always will. We always let him and we always will let him. The moment is structured that way.”

I leave you with this quotation that Master Yoda once told young Luke Skywalker regarding the forces of fate and hope,
“Do or do not, there is no try.”

I believe...

South Park captures the humor of real life and may be one of the funnest shows ever.

Last night, South Park protrayed the country after the recent historical election. McCain supporters were constructing an arc, because they thought the world was going to end. The supporters that couldn't fit on the arc were committing suicide. The Obama supporters took to the streets to party. The supporters were getting drunk, causing fights, tipping over police cars, and chanting "Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!"

While this was happening, Obama and McCain were revealed to be part of Ocean's 11, lead by genius Sarah Palin. The plan was to run a historical and important election inorder to use it as a big distraction so that they could steal the biggest diamond in the United States. Needless to say, the plan worked perfectly, because the people of the United States have not be considered with anything else.

Haha.
