Lets take a break from Gentics and go into Sociolgy or what appears to be social groups and there infulences.
I would first like to say Im sorry if anyone is offended by what im going to talk about below, If you are sensitive Im going to suggest stop reading as Nietzche himself would be proud of me I hope after this.
-------------
I think today was the first day I came to really maiming someone, But at the same time a little light bulb went off you see, It is amazing how just taking back and looking at all of society one can then see what makes it gears turn its clock.
So today we had to basicly go over and well review another students report on the social group they belong to,the people you hang around and trends you follow, Now I was reading this other girls who I guess people say is, "emo" im horriable at trend naming and always assumed people wearing black like my friends just like the clothing much to how I'll wear clothes more hip hop clothing at times even though im not part of it.
Oh how wrong was I, About half way through this girls report about how she has had a tough life because teachers are against her, how her parents refused to buy her a car, all the way to how way she is quote quote "emo" due to," People always pick on me, my boyfriend gets picked on for being gay and all people are mean to us for no reason my life is hell" Her words from what I can remember. Well maybe im over reacting but at this point I was starting to get mad, The part that really put me over is when she talks about cutting herself from the pain. This girl drives a car,a hand me down in her words, I could only dream of compared to mine.
Maybe it is irrational to have these feelings. But coming from someone who has it all compared to my past and history to hate and cut herself and want people to feel sorry for her makes me sick. I mean her life is perferction compared to mine of multiple rapes and abuse.I mean hell she cuts herself for fun I have cuts on my body I wish my dad never gave me and here she is giving them to herself to relive the pain bloody hell if her life has been pain then im dead and in hell.
I mean few things piss me off but if this is how these ,"emo", people really are I think i've fond a new one up there with, The churches who just tell me to accept and forgive what has happend in the name of some lord who has never been there. Worse is they tell me he is always watching over you. I think god must have a sick sense of taste and get pleasure from me then. Also people who give me sympathy like "aww im sorry to hear that"
Maybe im just so jaded what seems like big issues are so trivial to me its hard to belive someone would act like that over something I could only wish my life was.
-------
Everything said I think its good though in a way. I now know how many friends feel when others in a way steal and make there problems seem so minor. How my drugie friends can take offenseive to people who on tv pretending to be drugies in realilty shows. Or how people love cars can take offensive to how the illegal street racing movies are,"full of made up bs"
So has anyone else delt with these kind of issues where people have taken what you love or have lived through and made it trival, In trends or in movies or in the media?

One reason I think is sad there is alot of people it seems in it for the money. I mean look at some of the prices of the merchandise christan stores sell things for. I know my grandmother brought the bible on DVD for $200. Just seems alot for a tv preacher to be making so much profit.
Why i always tend to like the christans who believe yet dont belive in the wordly interperation of what christainty is.
I am one of those believers who doesn't go to church, I've been to a few bible studies and really liked them. But when I turn on the TV and happen upon a christian network its like watching a car wreck, Its so awful, and seems so wrong, that I just can't turn my head away from it.
I know I'm not alone in those feelings...

On topic: Heh, actually there was one thing. When I was going through the recruiting process for football every time I got a scholarship my coach announced it over the P.A. I ended up with 12 of them, and 1 school that offered happened to be the dream school of a kid in my class who was very smart. When that was announced he said, "I don't understand how you can go to that school and I can't, you don't have anywhere near the grades I do, you don't deserve it."
Let's just say he got absolutely reamed
@Chief_527
I'd believe that alot, I know from my days when I tried Airsoft when I was with my friends I thought it would be like the movies. But each time the light would go off and even though im in the back running into the small room they made with a submachine pistol. IT still was over in the blink of a eye. I mean it is surreal one moment your rushing through a door next you feel pellets hitting your side. So if airsoft is anything like what a gunfight really is. Then its over far faster then what they say it is in media even in like tactical games.

But ya,I think not even the ultra rich but like with this girl I mean her parents give her a great car and she thinks its junk. I mean it sounds anyone who is lower middle or poor and has to work for money would not understand who it is junk.
I swear why I enjoy being with lower income people may not have as much. But better ethics and can count on them more as they have to work for what they earn and understand life is just not about alot of fancy things.
@TheSystemLord1
Ya you sound a bit like my chrisitan friends,Like I mentioned above a bit I mean there really isa huge differance I feel between those who just accepet in faith then those who it seems almost take agenda against other faiths.
Best analogy I have is the system wars. I think most real christans are just christans who enjoy it. But then you have other christans who think there better then X or Y and have to go on and tell everyone why there better.

Congrats then on getting into a good college.Though be careful do not want to suffer a bad injury and not make it pro. Im one of those who feel the colleges should pay there sports team as football college coaches make millions from big name schools. Yet at the same time the players are playing just as much and as real as the pro's yet they see none of the profit just tutition i believe into the school. Kind of messed up I think as if you hurt yourself and can not play then you have no money and can not get pro just a couple of years at school. So there should be some kind of law passed to pay them for there work and not just feeding off them for profit
But ya, I think alot of people have bad images of,"jocks" I mean it seems alot of people are short sighted I know some of my own friends did not like me dating a wrestler,"jock".I think it is funny how everyone thinks what ever socail group they belong to makes them in the general public better then the others. Why I just look at the person and judge from there like this girl in my story. Not sure what a,"emo" is really but how she acts is enough for me to hate her and others that act like she does.
anyways good points all around and thank you for the input.
Regarding that girl, I mean every time I see a spoiled person I realized that, they stress the most tiny bitsy little thing of such a minor importance. They may have mansions and fancy cars but there're not happy. While I live in apt and have a simple car, I'm happy because I have what I need, and have my pleasures once in a while unlike them that they can have them when ever they want, but I think that what take the pleasure out of things, when you know you can do it is almost pointless. When I'm wealthy not in the too distant future, If I have kids they better believe they are going to work for their allowance, or weekends or W.E kids do these day to get money.
Ya makes sense i mean kind of pointless in a way I know there life is so different from mine. But I mean when people tell me of the money i can make in genetics it seems so unreal to me at times. I mean it seems so odd a person can make 200k and not try to invest and help others then it makes it seem worse when you realize 200k is very little comapred to other rich professions and they do not even make a effort to help people. But ya,A scary thing I heard about kids is that my professor said that the average he hears for parents giving kids tooth fairy money is $20 a tooth. which compared to 25 cents seems unreal kids are so spolied it seems these days =p
Anyways my photobucket is: http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd138/ChiasmEQ/
Not sure how to make it a link But if you'd like to see if you could do anything with my favrorite Luis Royo pictures of my pictures I would love to see what you could come up with.
Well yeah I played the PS2 Katamari and I liked it, but I thought the 360 one was way too hard and just not really fun at all.
Anyways, Thank you all for the advice. At the moment im attualy trying to wrtie a screen play for a indpendent flim I want to make while in my college years. So having my english teacher help with it. So far have plans to use alot of the flims from the 50's that were heavily censored like Lolita and Baby doll. Hoping to make like a realistic tale of child abuse.
On another note, these people that have so much stuff and scholarships and work part time, or don't even have to have a job, w/e the case may be. I don't have hatred towards these people but it sure would be nice to have such things, some of us have to devote our time to full-time jobs or even a part time one too, plus college and a social life, and still expected to get straight "good grades". It would be easier if we had the time on money to do so.
Good points people, keep it up.
