Thanksgiving (seriously, what's the point?)

Okay. So today, I basically just chilled with my family... and yeah. Hahaha. Went to my cousin's house, chilled there. Watched some TV (a lot of TV) drank about ten gallons of soda (reminds me of UOP, haha) and went to the computer to type this, because I was THAT bored.

Yes, very fun, eh?

Anyway, basically, we're here to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Now, some background, eh?

Thanksgiving was the three day feast that the explorers and the Native Americans had to celebrate (wow, guess what?), of course, giving thanks. The Native Americans befriended the explorers and, without them, the explorers would be dead, and we wouldn't have this annual party. The three day feast featured (you guessed it) some turkey, lobster, pumkin, corn, sweet potatoes, regular mashed potatoes, etc. Search Wiki for the rest. I'm not an encyclopedia.

So what are you thankful for? Me, personally, am thankful for my friends (^^ M.K), the gift of life, school, etc.

But, think about it. Me, as a kritiker of the whole (f**king damn) world, must think of how the status quo reacts to this "holiday".

Do people really care? Honestly, do PEOPLE REALLY CARE?

I know that at school, everyone just looks forward to the week of break we get off (which, I must say, is indeed a godsend). But do people really care about how the NA's "befriended" the explorers?

And think about how we paid the NA's back. By taking over their land, totally raping them of their only possessions. Yes, we're VERY thankful for fucking the Native Americans off their property after all they've done for us.

I wonder if they're thankful for us.

Do people really think about Thanksgiving as a way to celebrate screwing over the NA's? Because that's what it really is. They friend us, and we screw them over.

Why do we even have this date anyway? Just because Lincoln wanted it?

Are we REALLY thankful for this? For our lives? Or do we just take all this for granted?

I personally think it's the latter.

Autism and the FCSN

Oakey doakey then... haha, yes, I butcher things rather well...

Okay, lets think... Last Saturday night I went to this Gala. Like a gathering.
It was hosted by the FCSN (go check Google if you have no idea what that is) and was about kids with Autism.
Autism is a "disease" in the brain where the sufferer has bad social skills, tends to put things in lines or piles or does repetitive action. This is all due to something going wrong in the dude's chromosomes.

Basically, it's a disease that never should have been found because these kids are otherwise perfectly fine.

Look, think about it. Just because they line things up constantly, just because they can't speak very well, just because something went wrong in a chromosome automatically means that we have to classify them as "children with special needs."
No, I DON'T know how "serious Autism is" so why don't you tell me, and maybe I'll change my drift.
But for now, it's completely stupid. A child who has MINIMAL changes DOESN'T mean he's "different" or "special" He or she is PERFECTLY FINE, but just because the way people think that ONE LITTLE THING that a child does different means that he/she is "disabled", "different", or "special".

That, my friends, is total bullshit.

Just because we have, in our little minds, a seed that means that if you're just SOMEWHAT different, you should be sent to a lab, classified, and EVERYTHING wrong must be found out so we can "prevent it later on".
Bullshit.
Just because kids are a little different doesn't mean that their weird, or special. It means they're different. And guess what? EVERYBODY'S DIFFERENT!!!!!!! If we didn't have a little difference in the world, the whole f**king world would be so f**king boring!

Sure, I'll grant that if you have cerebal palsy, then you need to be treated. If you have no gag reflex, then you need to be treated. If you were born with an extra eye (cool!) then, you might want to be treated. But just because your child has bad social skills, bad responsiveness, and tends to line things up in little organized lines, THEN YOUR CHILD IS FINE!!!

On Answerbag (www.answerbag.com), I've read and answered millions of questions regarding "My child putting his stuffed toy bear in time out. Is this normal?"

Wow.. a bear is in time out. THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING!!!!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!! OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD!!!!!

Calm the f**k down. Your child is fine. Wait till he becomes a teenager, then he's screwed.

Jesus. And the FCSN. That's total bullshit. It's like, "Hey, you have a disorder. You're "special". You need help. You can't help yourself. It's impossible. Let's just make you look like a fish out of water that needs to be helped by everyone else your whole entire life!"

WHAT THE F**K? Even IF this disorder was important, that's like a bullet to the heart of the dude's self esteem! Kid's aren't stupid (well... MOST aren't) and we know when we're unwanted, or when others are tells us bad BS. Adults these days give us too little credit. We deserve a choice, even those of us that have "difficulty developing social skills".

These kids are still coherent children. These kids are still kids. These kids still need a right way to live. They need to become independent, not rely on others their entire lives.

All these "major diseases" that really are minor need to be chilled down in the status quo. Everyone's all like, "Oh Emm Gee... We need to help these kids with disabilities that aren't really major or life threatening."

It's a waste of money to help a perfectly fine kid.

Don't be stupid. Don't waste time.
