I think it is time I tell everyone about me to one degree or another. Some of you know me....quite well in fact. The rest of not so much for the most part.
I am James. I am an Ass. At least I am at times. Otherwise I like to think I am a nice person. Ok maybe not but at least sometimes I am
I love my family. My wife and my kids are the center of my world. I do what I do for them and I do for me once they are taken care of.
I am a nerd at heart and more or less in reality as well. Star Wars is THE shit. Period.
I have to say I hate stupid people. Period. No excuses. Stupid people suck and suck large. You know the type so I won't reiterate.
I also can't stand that people have to define themselves as Liberal or Conservative. I am neither and both. How is that possible you ask? Simple. I support and am against things on both sides of the equation. This may put into perspective more than anything the type of person I am.
Here we go:
I am FOR Gay (same sex) marriage. Why? because homosexuals should be allowed to be as miserable as the rest of married folk ( XD ) and be allowed to have all the same rights and privileges that go with it. Period.
I am FOR Corporate tax incentives and breaks. These do in fact entice corporations to invest and spend money in order to save money in the way of the tax breaks and incentives.
I am FOR the legalization and regulation of marijuana. It can be dealt with exactly the same way alcohol is and would be a good source of revenues for the government.
I am FOR the legalization and regulation of prostitution. It would make it safer for the girls/guys and their John's/Jane's. it would ALSO be a good source of revenues for the government as it would be taxed like any other service.
I am FOR the death penalty. In this era of technology and science the odds are so infinitesimal in getting the perpetrator wrong that I am more than happy to take the risk of being wrong in order for a person that TAKES a life or RUINS one (ie violent rape, child molestation and the likes) to lose the right to their own.
I am AGAINST tax cuts. You may ask is this not the same as above? No it is not and I'll tell you why. A tax CUT automatically gives the corporation the tax savings without giving them ANY incentive to actually invest money. A tax incentive or break can only be gotten after certain criteria are met. Tax cuts need no such thing.
I am AGAINST abortion except in certain cases. Pregnancy due to rape/incest and putting the mothers medical well being (physical not mental or social or financial) at risk.
Edit- to clarify - while I accept people do it, and it is their choice to do so, I do not have to be in favour of it. Using it as a form of "birth control" because one does not wish to live with the consequences of their actions is, to me, not a good thing, and this goes for the guys who push the gals into getting one as well.
Our society, in my opinion has becomes so wussified I cannot put into words how bad it has gotten. (Seriously, banning tag at recess because a child MIGHT get hurt and not giving out year end school awards so no ones feelings get hurt is just the upper crust of my issues)
Lastly. I am sick and tired of the powers that be claiming Canada is a tolerant and mutli-cultural country. Hate to burst your bubble folks it isn't. You go beyond the boundaries of Canada's three major urban centers (Greater Toronto Area, Greater Montreal Area and Greater Vancouver Area) and multi-culturalism is no where to be found. In these areas sure there has been some progress in the way of tolerance but largely they still have the same prejudices they had 30 years ago. Blacks and Homosexuals are looked at differently and treated differently. It's sad and the fact the powers that be seem to be oblivious to it is just maddening. Furthermore for such a multi-cultural society we seem to be built in cultural neighbourhoods. Little versions of the various cultur's homelands to a degree. Shouldn't multiculturalism be a sort of blending of cultures not a segregation of them? Just sayin.
Anyway that's enough out of me I guess. Hopefully this gives those of you that DON'T know me that well an idea of who I am
