Stateless Crusader

Im an advocate of overall statelessness. I am also a right wing conservative. This is where I'll rant and ramble about stuff that grabs my attention.

"Thin" and "skinny" should not be used to describe humans of normal weight. Those terms are meant for folks below the average.

Not everything is the fault of those evil capitalists or that evil government, sometimes people just have crappy luck. I'm just a bit annoyed by that sentiment, not every bad turn of events has someone to blame.

The key is to have incredibly low self esteem and no ambition, so no matter what happens you never get depressed.

Eggs are just young chickens, so I don't quite understand the "chicken or the egg" question.

Still watching Naruto and really confused.

Sasuke is a complete villain, so why are Naruto and Sakara trying to "save him." It's not like he's mind controlled or trying to accomplish some greater good, he's evil. The best they can try and do is capture him, then imprison him as a criminal. There is no real option to go back to being friends.

Still not sure what to think of Naruto.

I've decided to watch the anime after hearing that it's good, but I'm not sure what to think so far. I'm just over a hundred episodes in, and there's plenty to like and dislike. 

It's easier to notice negative things, and there's a few things that annoy me so far. Sasuke is annoying as heck, with Sakura having no real good points. Naruto was annoying at first, being such a weak and cowardly protagonist, but at least he's developed past a lot of that. The bits of romance are also annoying and unnecessary, but I can mentally write it off since the characters as just kids. 

I suppose it's enjoyable enough to keep watching, but I don't think it's anywhere near as enjoyable as Bleach and One Piece. I'm assuming it get's better after the time skip, or at least hoping.

World War Z was an okay movie.

Sure, it was nothing like the book, but if we ignore the title and consider it as its own zombie movie it's pretty good. The ending's a little lame, but with the scenes we got I say it was worth it. It's not in my list of favorite zombie movies, but I don't think it deserves the hate it's been getting.

Reading a manga and a subject got me angry.

How can a woman justify getting pregnant, but then leaving without telling the father? It's disgusting, a man has every right to his child. In fact, I'd say that action alone shows the mother doesn't have the moral standing to keep that child at all.

You don't need to believe a person is innocent to think there's sufficient reason to doubt guilt, just sayin'.

Same goes for the OJ trial, one doesn't need to honestly believe OJ was innocent to find enough reason to support the jury's decision.

Been thinking about what the heck I wanna do.

Sometimes I feel like my life is a failure, given my current circumstance, but then I am reminded that my situation isn't all that bad. I'm only 22, so I'm technically still fairly young. I'm also fairly smart, can't say I left college because it was too hard (was there for engineering). 

When it comes to what I plan on doing I've been doing some thinking, teaching came up. I've been told since high school that's what I should do, and recently I've started to consider if it's a suitable option. I love learning and educating others, and while I was always hindered by my shyness those I did help (other students) said that I do a good job. 

My big problem is probably my confidence and monetary situation. Since I left school I've had student loans waiting for me, and I haven't worked in a while either. I could probably get the ball rolling if I were to get in shape, but I need the confidence to lose weight for the confidence boost. 

I suppose simply thinking about it and making it a goal is a first step, lacking any serious future plans was always a big hindrance when it came to high school and college.

I'm a 22 year old guy, why the heck am I so sensitive to darn love stories!

I'm always the token stoic who doesn't express any emotions, so I wonder what people would think knowing how easily I tear up while watching movies or reading.

The feels...the feels at the end of tonight's The Walking Dead.

Nothing worse than some cute yaoi that turns out to involve incest, makes me feel awkward being one of three brothers.

Am I the only one who looks at the Warhammer 40k universe and sees an admirable, successful humanity?

They have managed to keep humanity together, to keep their genes relatively intact, and relatively safe.

Why does it seem libertarians are more aggressive when arguing spanking than abortion among ourselves?

It's clear we have many issues where we will never agree, so having internal discussions seems warranted, but how on Earth does discussing hitting children produce a more heated argument than killing children?

"Guns are made to kill."

Says who? How many people actually aim for the head or heart, and since when is there a rule we have to stand by and let anyone shot bleed out? Last time I checked people can survive being shot, extreme stopping power is still only stopping power. In principle, I see nothing more unique than other self defense weapons (stun guns and pepper spray). Believe it or not, few people want to kill others.
