Fun, Censorship, and new jobs

Hello out there in lala land.

Gonna start this off with great news. I got a real job this time. Starting off with training will be part time, if I pass the training I will get to keep the job and go on to full time. Well, really I will just be making my own hours but I want to do full time. I'm gonna be working for an outsourcing company doing Tech Support. Going to be awesome to see how well I can do and as always I hope to give them a driven, motivated team player that wants to instill new life into the world of Compuer Tech.

So yay me, I'm still awesome, and funny thing about that actually- I got that job only 3 days after my last blog post. Eerie, kinda weird, and superb all at the same time. Maybe thats Irony, but I dont really care to figure that out.

In other news, I know its not just irking me, but it really bothers me how so many people want to censor things in the entertainment industry in general (including gaming). These people do nothing but work all day on pointless excursions to find ways to inject their viewpoint into how I live my life. While many timelessly encrouch upon my freedom of speech (an American Right, among many others) I find it funny that they dont just blatantly encroach on my fredom of religion, as it's usually their religion that tells them (or how they view their religion rather) that what they are doing is right. Do these people not realize they are no better then Hitler How dare they tell me what I can and cannot say! How dare they tell anyone what they can and cannot say on tv, the news, in games, magazines... **** you and your almighty righteous horse. Get off the ****ing horse and stop living in a dream world where everything is all roses and flowers cus you never had to worry about real money issues your whole life, Or a friend getting shot.

While they sit in their offices making these protest notes, and writing up their hateful speeches they never stop to think that what they are doing is making them the bad guy. People enjoy violent material and insane dialogue when its used properly. There is a way to make a violent game with cussing from here to china, if you direct the game to move at a thoughful pace and have a point to the violence and words being used. Of course these people who want to censor have no clue what any of that means, I have a feeling their brain fell out sometime during a church meeting somewhere, and I know God didnt tell them to crucify others for what they believe. Even though I am agnostic I know quite a bit about religions and find it fascinating how even that gets its touch of the almighty censor. You hear what your church believes, not what any God wants you to hear.

I dont know who God is, but hes definitely not the guy with the bible used for beating people over the head. As far as I'm concerned as hypocritical as most in that religion are theyre about as "real" a belief structure as Buddha is to me. I actually prefer Buddhist Ideology over-all anyway. They dont bash people for disagreeing they embrace all people and religions. There are some extents that I diagree with but thats ok, and I definitely dont believe in the almighty buddha but thats also ok. I dont have to agree to get along with people, I also dont need to protest about things I disagree with to make people notice me. Go back home and eat another 100$ bill you rich yuppie, get the **** out of my entertainment. I enjoy the games I play and the movies I watch, not all of which are violent nor have curse words. Strangely enough according to these people I'm probably a serial killer because I have and watch movies like Death Proof and Natural Born Killers. Both good movies, great stories, superb acting. What makes them offensive? Well lets see,in some ways NBK was intended to be a slap in the face of the man at the same time as being over the top and weird. You have to know how to translate or rather-even better- understand it to appreciate it. Otherwise, it's not your cup of tea and thats fine. Just dont watch it, stop trying to tell me I cant watch it. Same goes with games.

Your censorship rant - thankyou. I completely agree.
