Facts? Or Bullshit?

Now, ignorant, arrogant and self-righteous people, AKA; fakers. We see lots of them in today's world. All from the entertainment industry to our neighbors. They are the kind of people who show an alternate 'good' side of themselves to society, just to score points in live, when virtual of the fact, they are as corrupted and vile as any sane (insane in some cases) person could be. They are the type of people who will act like they actually give two fucks about yourself, when really, no fucks are given whatsoever. Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, humanity in itself is a dysfunctional ecosystem that thrive on the weak and the dying; basically a parasite. So, isn't it pretty normal for a parasite to show the 'good' quality for first impression's sake? Nope.

Case in point, the entertainment business. Don't get me started. It's always the same, sex scandal one day, uncalled charity the other. It's the same cycle that just goes on and on and on and on. Few years back, when 'pop' culture reference was mainly the Jonas Brothers and whatnot, it was all about purity and faith in God(not to mention the freaking Disney orientated wedding one of the brothers actually had, that must've cost a BOMB!). Today, it's all about 'hey you! lose your virginity quick, or you ain't cool!'. Seriously, look at music video these days. "you're a hoe- nicki minaj", seriously? that is what passes for a decent MV these days? I know 60 year old aunties that can sing better than that. It ain't any better in the movie department neither. Twilight, come on man, I mean, good God. And people say that Twilight was just misunderstood and has deep affectionate meaning. You know what has deep affectionate meaning? The depths of my bowels. There's no good value I can derive from Twilight, and people (girls that just got their periods) say that it has resemblance to Romeo and Juliet. Bitches please, have you actually READ Romeo and Juliet?? It's a tragedy, and a damn good one at that too. Twilight is just a tragedy, period, and if even if it does resemble Romeo and Juliet, That just makes Stephanie Myer a copy cat doesn't it?

In the arena of religion, this is where the bullshit hits the fan. I just can't stand people who CLAIM they are religious but they do exactly the opposite of what they preach. What? as long as it's out of the Bible/Quran/Sutra/etc it is legit?? Look, I have no beef against anybody that wishes to believe what they want to believe, but actually PRACTICE what you believe in. I have more respect for a believer who actually follows their holy book word by word than those who just expel air from their mouth. Don't wanna be labeled as a robot? Then THINK. We are the smartest known species to date in our history. We have the capability to think and reason, yet we do not maximize it's potential. Question authority, question conspiracy, question everything about life. Don't just receive input and take them as information. Process them, cross reference, do what a smart being would do. When you do reach a point where your thinking path is conflicting with your belief, argue. Test both sides of the argument. Which seems legit? Choose that one. It's very simple, live life critically and enjoy it. Think about it, if you're confined to certain 'laws' of life, what is the point of life then? The beauty of life is our ability to choose. Some of it maybe immoral, and for that we deserve punishment, but as long as it does not cross the boundaries of the norm, it should be fine, right? Why spend time hating one another for reasons from ages ago? Set aside differences and see the world for what it truly is, a world where everyone is born equally.

Some people claim it as facts, I tend to label them as bullshit first. That's the first step of arguments. Be it formal or informal, religion or science, be skeptical. We have the privilege of possessing such a skill, use it. You think you are right? Think again.
