All That You Can't Leave Behind

Society is strange.

Exceedingly strange. 

Like shove-a-fork-in-your-eye-to-see-what-happens strange.

'Kitchi!' I hear you cry 'Why this sudden observation? Surely you've noticed this before? But then again, you've got the brains of a monkey. We're not counting on much.'

No, I've noticed. Although a little while ago, I just learned how absolutely skewed our perspectives are.

So I'm surfing the Wiki page for 'Black Metal', and came across the following statement.

"...some musicians have been associated with church burnings, murder and/or National Socialism."

How skewed a society do we have to live in, to club murder, arson, and socialism? To add a little more perspective to this - two of them deal with death, destruction and other ghastly words, and one's a political view.

A political view. 

How in the world can we club murder, with a political view? 

Jeez.

But I've just clicked through to find out what National Socialism is. 

Turns out it's a facy way of saying 'Filthy Nazi.'

So clubbing them together is completely warranted.

Rant negated.

Eek. A Terrorist.

I've just realised I've been missing out.

While other people have been 

ripping the terrorists (who attacked Mumbai a bit ago. 26/11 as the media is cleverly calling it) to shreds at various points of time, I've just completely ignored them. Left to the government, they'd accuse me of marginalisation, and ask me to give the terrorists a special quota on my blog.

But I shall thwart their evil attempts by blogging the terrorists. Or commenting on them, assuming my usual position of 'I'm smarter, therefore I can make fun of you'.

I believe that terrorists shouldn't be shot. Oh, no. 

Ridiculed, sure.

But outrightly killed, by shooting? No sir. 

They could be killed by the old and wonderful method, of tying each limb to a different car, and driving each car in a different direction. That would be cool. Serve them right, too. Killing rich people? *gasp* We won't stand for that, will we? No sir!

We could try sympathising with them, sure. The conversation would probably go something like this :

"Look, you've got the brains of a coconut, and the emotional maturity of a two year old. I'll give you a room, which is completely padded, and has toys for you to play with!" 

"The toys are infidel scum! I shall vanquish all the toys in the world!"

So sympathising wouldn't work.

Another thing that amuses me is they way these wonderful creatures think. I mean, the one terrorist who was captured from the attacks, was wearing a fake Versace t-shirt.

Fake.

I mean, the guy goes to all the trouble of obtaining firearms, and comes to India from Pakistan in a boat, and he buys a fake t-shirt? He obviously hasn't thought this thing through. He's obviously doing this to attain Jihadi paradise. And what would the 72 virgins of uncertain gender think of him, if he arrives in a fake t-shirt? 

Stingy. 

He was probably given a couple of million bucks, for the whole job. 

Or not. I don't know. I have no idea what terrorists are paid, if paid at all.

Taking a leaf out of Chuck Jones' hat, we could do this. 

With a wall in the direction of Coyote. It'd make good television, at any rate.
