Stupidity, Arrogance, Narcissism, Society.


Yesterday we realized that North Carolina is similar to India. They call themselves liberal and democratic and republic and all that is sweet and savoury. But the truth is nowhere closer. The majority of the people think that they can choose the right decision for the entire population. Example for "All are equal but some are more equal". Apparently the state gets to choose how people should be in their private and personal lives, even when they are not breaking any laws. How to do that? Well, pass laws making everything you do not like as illegal and hide behind the curtain of religion. There is no need to fear God. It’s his followers who are more deadly. Same people who say God is a loving soul will make sure to curse and alienate and treat the sexual minority as badly as they can. Love thy neighbor is just a fancy bumper sticker.

It’s sad that the majority think that they should enforce what religion says, considering that they are the same people who are fighting religious fanatics in the Middle East.   How is enforcing one religion be different and stealing the liberty of some people different than those fundamentalists in Iran/Afghan?  If they feel it’s God who has to take the final decision, why make such laws here.  Let the one who needs to judge do his work when he can. Also, more crimes happen by men on women than gay people on other people of same gender. Also, we have not read/heard of any homosexual who has been struck by lightning because of that. As Seth Rogen rightly said, “Claiming that someone else's marriage is against one's religion is like being angry at someone for eating a donut because you're on a diet”. Truer words regarding this subject have not been spoken. We rest our case.

We will switch over now to that person who thinks he is holier than everyone else. He wants to show everyone about the social issues which the same everyone is aware of it. His fans will attack anyone who dares to criticize him. There is nothing much he will do to resolve issues apart from only trying to show how good he is in doing so. No. Not Anna Hazare. We are talking about Satyameva Jayate by Aamir Jesus Khan. What actually happened to Lokpal and hunger fasts? What does Anna’s cook actually do? Anyway, coming back to Aamir,  Sure, all we are doing is criticizing him without doing anything to fight the social evils. But you know what, nobody is paying us a big amount nor is sponsoring us. We don’t have much hope for this show even though it’s helping fight against the stupid dubbing ban which is imposed in Karnataka due to one family which is “ruling” the ‘Sandalwood’. Anna fizzled after his fifteen minutes of fame. All his followers who went around doing morcha’s and marches have gone back to the same system which they used to protest against.

If you are familiar with Kannada movie industry, you will know that the Government has banned dubbing. That totally does not make any sense to us. This is one action which is opposite to the amendment one passed by NC. Here it is a minority of people trying to restrict the rights of majority people for something they believe in. Some producers and actors and rest of the influential people, for their financial gain, do not want rest of the state to watch movies, documentaries, animated movies which have the technology which cannot be achieved by the ‘Sandalwood’ for quite some years to come. They fear dubbing will make Kannadiga’s stop watching Kannada movies. What they fail to understand is if they make good movies, people will watch no matter how many dubbed movies are there. You cannot make bad movies and then force people to watch those by restricting rest of the movies.  

You know what, now that we are going on about short sight and people, we are going to mention male chauvinism showed by the Indian judiciary system. We know we should not be talking against the Judiciary because they might take action. But seriously. Read this. Yes. The Bombay High Court said that married women should take goddess Sita as example, who followed her husband Lord Ram during his exile. They were hearing a divorce petition filed by a man because his wife was not ready to relocate to his new place of work. But interesting point is they did not tell anything about how husbands should be like Lord Ram. Not sure when that observation is due. Our Government officials are prone to make such statements. We have our police officials who give interesting suggestions on how women can escape from being molested. 

  We know we have been ranting. All this is to just fill some blog post? Or just forcing ourselves to right something? We are just venting out our frustration when we see people do stupid things. There is so much chance for us to improve as a civilization and every time the chances are ruined by some morons who think that is not hot God wants it to be. Really? Stop calling him kind and forgiving if you think he will punish people who are not harming anyone else and will be in their own happy world are not the ones who should be punished. The religious nuts who spoil the life of others because they misunderstood what God said are the ones to be punished. So do those people think that the same God they think is just will support them when they stop two people from being happy. Who gives the right to brand union of two adults as illegal? As someone wise said, we do not have anything against God. It’s his fan base that we cannot stand.

There are few who have been fighting for years. But as someone else said on twitter, at the end after all these ranting and shouting, most people just buy fancier iPads and iPhones and not worry about what is happening outside till something like this happens the next time. Almost every one we know, including us, falls into the majority category in this case. And there is nothing we will do to change it. We are the part of the same system we are against. Probably things will change when we actually become the civilized society that we think we are. Till then we will be doing what we do best. Procrastinate. We know everyone will join us anyway.
