Intellectual property is stupid.

You cannot own an idea. You cannot blame someone for “theoretical loss”. Learn the rules of the free market and let the market be in your favor. If you have to go crying to big brother because you can’t win your own battles, you’re weak and have a lame company.

Carriers are stupid.

Smartphones are becoming a big thing. Just about everybody has one; if they don’t, they’re being pressured to buy one. I see nothing wrong with this. The problem is in the quality of smartphones. First off, you have the “top tier” device. The iPhone. Apple’s most famous product and has a promise of delivering a top quality experience. Apple has the freedom to push out updates on their own time and don’t have to deal with bloatware. While I don’t care for the iPhone, I think this is wonderful. There is one device that doesn’t have to follow carrier regulations. Then enter Android. The same things mentioned earlier are not present here. Most carriers throw in apps that they force users to have on their devices. Then you have the update cycles which take forever and are almost non-existent. Some say if you don’t want to deal with that, get a Nexus phone. They’re available on all carriers and offer the “pure Google experience.” Problem with that is on Verizon there is still carrier intervention. Verizon apps are still installed and the update cycle is regulated by Verizon. Manufacturers need to be willing to build a device, give it the bands to support a network, and then offer it on their own. No carriers involved. Sort of the way the GSM Nexus devices work. The problem with this idea is it wouldn’t work on Sprint or Verizon, because you have to activate it through them.

Verizon (and carriers who do similar things) stop ruining devices. I would love to join their LTE network, but am pushed away from the crap they pull. I am forever stuck on AT&T. Hopefully the smartphone revolution picks up steam and carriers get better, not worse.

Is social media making us unsocial? Maybe.

For the most part, yes. Social media is developing new social problems in people. Where does a lot of this madness come from?

Before I start, I know there are other social networks out there causing stupid social media trends, but Facebook is the biggest player here so I shall use it as the target.

Facebook users are very known for thinking you saw every single thing you post on Facebook because of the fact that people normally do see everything there. For example, I have deactivated my Facebook accounts more than once due to the annoyingness of Facebook (but end up coming back because I lose communication with people.) In that period of social seclusion, I rarely hear about anything. People did not contact me telling me about activities and problems or anything. I was left in the dark. Not only did it make me question whether or not people care to actually inform me about their stupid business, but it’s like they want to be exclusive with sharing their personal bullshit with an audience that truly doesn’t care.

The Facebook community is interesting, and the “Facebook mentality” has spread to other social networks. Facebook brought forth a new era of social networking. People thinking they need to be “connected” with their friends at all times. People thinking if you do not add them on Facebook, you do not care for them. Thinking that Facebook is a private diary, when in reality it is a public forum.

So now we focus on what isn’t real. A social network. It is supposed to bring people closer (which it does…on the internet) but in reality, it has disconnected us. We don’t talk anymore, we always just link back to some stupid OP.

It's like people want to be rude and waste their time.

If you spend your time talking shit about somebody when they’re away but when you are near them in person you act awesome, you’re a bitch.

You have no friends.

You have not changed.

You are spoiled.

You are a bitch.

You need to leave me alone.

You’re an adult. Grow up? Yeah. That works. I can be bitchy because i’m an emotional kinda’ guy. You? You’re 21. You should leave a 16 year old alone.

Bitches ain’t shit but hoes and tricks. Lick on his nuts and suck the dick. (A random and stupid quote in dedication to you, the bitch who is always fucking when I see her.)

I am tired of living...

in a world full of hate. A world full exploitation and failure. Let’s start off small and work our way up. We have a human being. A creature made up of many cells, cell systems, organs, organ systems, and so forth. We have emotions. These emotions are sometimes hard to control. Sometimes we are considered crazy by our society. So we do crazy things. We hurt people. Physically or emotionally. Sometimes in the heat of the moment and sometimes we plan these things. When something wrong is done we are outraged. When we are outraged, we are irrational. Sometimes we are considered crazy by nobody. So we do crazier things.

Recap: Murderer on trial and is wished death by his peers. So now we have a case between one killer and a group. We call it justice and it’s the holy grail.

So the killer is sentenced to death. We cheer. We are great. We are America. We are the ruler of the world. God.

Now let’s change the scenario. Let’s say somebody innocent is sentenced to death. We are outraged. The system we defend and say is great (our holy grail) is broken. America is broken. We freak out. How could it be so broken? Just the other day we cheered saying how wonderful it is.

We’re tangled in our own selfish desires. If you believe in a system, then follow through. It may not always work, but you wanted it there.

Moving on.

Facts: We kill.

Where do we kill? Well, we kill our own kind for what we see as punishment. We kill our mistakes, even though they have a heartbeat. We kill our victims in greed in what we call a war on terrorism.

What is the point of this? We live in a world filled with murder. We don’t question it, at times. We try and justify it. The point is, killing a beautiful creation is never justified. It may eliminate a problem but it is never justified. There are repercussions of being murders.

So before you cheer or criticize your glorious home, think about what you wanted. You wanted justice, you got death. You wanted freedom, you got death. You wanted a life without accidents, you got death. You got wanted to retaliate and collect resources, you got death.

This world is terrible. There are lots of things that are horrible that we don’t question.

How do we solve it?

We don’t. We reduce them, though.

Worry about what’s going on around you. The world only works if you do it locally. If you spend your time thinking about the issues somewhere else, you can’t move forward. Focus locally, and move outward very slowly. If we all do this, problems get solved.

You aren’t the world’s Policeman. You aren’t God. You are not the Judge.
