fuck off
I’ve just been scanning the news headlines as I do every morning because I don’t have time to read a paper at work and I have come across some things that I am tired of hearing about. I have decided to dedicate this post to people like me out there who just feel like saying “You know what? Fuck off.”
Here we go.
Muslims hold new protests against Salman Rushdie knighthood
You know what? Fuck off. Why the fuck are we giving this shit any press time? The Ayatollah wanted this guy dead years and years ago. Then Rushdie went into hiding. Then they lifted the death penalty in Iran, and then Rushdie came out of hiding. Now Mr. Rushdie has been knighted. Big Fucking Deal. Now some people in Iran and Pakistan are mad. There was even talk of suicide bombings and how they would be justified in this case. Really. Like these idiots need an excuse for a suicide bombing. Ebrahim Rahimpour, the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s director for Europe said “The British Government’s insulting, suspicious and ill-considered act is an obvious sign of Islamophobia which has terribly hurt the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims.”
Hurt the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims? Because of a fucking book that was published how many years ago? Get over it. And fuck off. Oh, and I hardly think you are speaking on behalf of that many people worldwide. I’m sure that the majority don’t even know who Salman Rushdie is.
Do yellow ribbons show support for troops or for war?
City of Toronto politicians are arguing over whether fire trucks and ambulances should keep displaying the yellow “Support Our Troops” ribbons. City Hall is voting on this today. From the Globe and Mail today:
“The issue arose at city hall yesterday after a news report that the city, in response to complaints from people opposed to the Afghan mission, had ordered the decals removed from 170 fire trucks and a similar number of ambulances. The decals were installed last year, without council's involvement, after the firefighters' union paid $3,000 for the fire-truck stickers; emergency medical services dipped into its taxpayer-funded budget for a similar amount.”
You know what? Fuck off. Stop wasting time and taxpayer money on stupid ass shit like this. There are a hundred WAY more important issues that need to be addressed than this. You are voting on this in council today? What the fuck? Are you doing anything about the fact that that idiot David Miller has run this city into the ground and we are now facing bankruptcy? The same idiot who thinks that public transit is the answer to everything? That taxing people who own cars and charging families that create more garbage is the “green solution” to end all environmental woes? Someone needs to walk up to this blond-haired buffoon, this NDP idiot and flick him in the forehead and say “Hey douchebag, the firefighters are a militarily based organization. They are structured around military principles. Many reservists and former members of the Canadian military are firefighters. They are supporting their brothers who THIS COUNTRY has decided to send into a chaotic war zone to be killed for nothing.”
You don’t have to support this useless war but for fucks sake show a little compassion and humanity for the poor bastards who got shipped over there. And stop wasting time and money on issues like this. Start talking about incinerating garbage, about stopping big business from polluting the shit out of our city, about solving the immigration backlog and shutting down grow houses and putting the teenage gangsters in Jane and Finch in jail so they will stop shooting each other and terrorizing the neighbourhoods in our city.
Health Canada probes phony toothpaste sold in Ontario
Hey – how about you don’t buy your toothpaste from the dollar store? Did you notice all the other weird ass products on the shelves in there? Would you buy powdered soup from Kazakhstan? Do you really think that Colgate is selling it’s toothpaste to dollar stores?
Fuck off.
You know what else? Maybe we should stop outsourcing our manufacturing and farming to places like China, a country that seems to have no problem poisoning its own babies with contaminated formula and then not informing its public about it. A country that sent over contaminated additives for use in our pet food production, resulting in the deaths and illnesses of thousands of animals. You think that the produce and other food products you are buying at Loblaws aren’t affected by this? Guess again. Where is your garlic from?
These countries use pesticides on our food that should be banned as a weapon of mass destruction.
I think it’s time we became more concerned and conscientious as consumers and realize that cheaper is not better. It is toxic to us, to our economy and to the planet. Why are we shipping whitefish from our waters over to China to be processed and sent back to us?
Something is very, very wrong.
Okay, that’s my doom and gloom for the week.
Here we go.
