I could have posted more stuff on Friday. I could have posted something on Saturday. But I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Being completely honest, and completely unashamed to say so; I broke down. When the details came out and I learned that TWENTY 6 and 7 year old children were gunned down in cold blood I cried. I cried for them. And you can act as hard and tough as you want, but this is just a terrible tragedy. The sympathy and sadness I feel for the parents of those innocent children is indescribable.
Now here comes the rant. Since I have my minor in Psychology, I actually know what the fuck I am talking about (sorta). As it turns out, this kook Lanza had Asperger’s, which can be a very debilitating disease.He was unable to really feel any pain or emotion. Well, the most dangerous people in this world are the people that not capable of feeling emotion; just ask Richard Kuklinski. Without the ability to feel love, hate, happiness, sadness, etc.we are incapable of feeling human connection. Without that human connection, we see what the result can be. I can almost guarantee that because this kid came from a prestigious, white, wealthy area that they did whatever they could to mask his disorder and cover it up, rather than combat it head on with the proper counselling. This kid was literally a fucking ticking time bomb. It’s sad to have to think that way.
And now I will go out on a limb and try to tie this in to the Pussification of America. I’m pretty sure each of us remembers the teacher that told us we are “not special“? Well therein lies the problem. We all still think we are special. Facebook and Twitter (and smut blogs…) convince us each day that we are superstars. We are the center of the universe. We believe that everybody wants to know what we do whenever we do it. That is the problem with Generation Y, we should be called the “Look at me! Generation”. We are all becoming narcissists, and about 95% of serial killers are narcissists (go figure). And when there is a lack of attention, kids literally just fucking snap. Just look at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Newtown.
This is all directly correlated to the Pussification. These are the exact results that come from what our society has become. Generation Y is so fucked up because of our constant need of attention, it has predisposed us to a whole slew of mental and personality disorders. And it will only get worse in the next generation, and so on. YOU are the ones that can prevent this, and change the future generations. When you have kids someday, you need to tell them from a very young age that no one gives a flying fuck about you. You have your family and a select group of friends, that’s it. No one else cares. The world is a cold place. You pick your battles in life and on occasion when you win, you celebrate with loved ones.
That’s just it – we don’t know how to win. Generation Y has had their asses kissed so much. America has been pussified through all the liberal “inclusion” and “tolerance” practices. No one knows how to be the best because we no longer have that distinction. And if there is a champion of sorts then the losers and 99 percenters villianize them for being the best. It is no longer about winning, but that everyone be recognized in some way. This all transcends through participation awards. It’s no longer acceptable to be so much better than the competition. America has become a breeding ground of no-ball pussy losers. And it these losers that need this attention and reassurance is where the problem lies.
So now arrive at a fork in the road. We have a choice to make. Do we continue down this path of “inclusion” and “tolerance” that is softening every fiber of our society? Or do we take America back by teaching our kids that if you want to be the center of the universe you need to work to get it, nothing will just be given to you, because no one cares about you.
Coming back full circle, I would like to honor those poor kids that had their precious lives stolen from them. 20 innocent children will never move on to high school. They will never build life-long friendships. Never have their first love. Have their hearts broken. They will never know the thrill of driving a car for the first time. They will never get punished for missing curfew. They won’t graduate high school and go off to college. They won’t learn to be independent. They won’t have their chance to rage at spring break. They won’t get their degree, get their first job. Go to Vegas. Buy a car. Buy a house. Find their true love, get married, and have kids. They won’t go through the growing pains of life, and they will never have the chance to someday look back at their lives and smile at all they accomplished. This is a very cruel lesson that life is so very fragile, so precious. We must take advantage of this. If not for ourselves, but to honor those poor kids that will never have the chance to do so.
In honor. Rest In Peace.
