Topsy Turvy


We had entered the Twilight Zone, where up is down and down is up.
Where the epitome of conceit is not a mouse crawling up an elephant leg with r*pe in mind, but a piss ant dictator with a nuclear weapon trying to r*pe the world.
Where healthcare isn't about health, but access to insurance. That affordability means something, even if you can buy it, but can't use it.
Where lies are true and the truth is a lie.
Where power is influence, no matter what that influence is.
Where a show of strength, is to NEVER admit you could be wrong.
Where guns are a tool.. just like a bulldozer or a wrecking ball.

Where a millionaire white whale, who has it all, can obtain a shitload of automatic weapons, and shoot into a crowd... Killing and wounding over 600 people, effecting all our lives.
When it's just a matter of his confusion, Where a lie is a truth, where influence is beyond his reach, where his inalienable rights are being denied, where he can buy something, and it's useless if he can't use it.
Where he's frustrated and feels he can't do what other millionaire white whales can do, the same way they do it...... He'll do it in a different way, and show them he can.

And, so all we do is scratch our head, grab our balls, and figure out what bathroom we are going use.
When you get to the base of it all, there is nothing more truthful of the motivation, more appropriate to acts of violence and terrorism, than the event in Las Vegas.
It's in black and white, and in living color.. played out on our TV screens.
and as we scratch our heads.. to figure out what it says. analyse, and dissect. We avoid the fact it says it all.

Bill Maher, the Liberal's Liberal, lambasted the Democrats Friday night for..
over regulation, and micro management and missing the big picture.

Although no Right winger in his "right" mind (one who got his "mind" right). would ever listen to Bill Maher.. I imagine if any of them did.. it did their hearts good.

But what right wingers can NEVER see, is the idea to repair and replace..is never the same as to repeal and replace.

The idea to fix something, only means to destroy something

    Quoting Fossil_Fetcher:
    About 20 years ago a young guy named Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people in Oklahoma City, OK and didn't even use a gun. His weapon was 4800 pounds of fertilizer and some diesel fuel as a catalyst, all loaded into a rental truck.

    Unless you count radical Islamic terrorists, McVeigh is the only terrorist ever executed by the US Government. At least I can't think of another. Can you?

    Fossil

My point of the blog is really not about guns..

It's about how we see the same differently.

How what we believe effects what we see.

The ideas..... the purpose of guns is different. that the purposes of people are different , the purposes of religions are different. The purpose of Pelosi is different.
The purpose of Trump is different .

No matter what happens, no matter the evidence, no matter the truth. What stares us in the face is always different.

so different that the acceptance of any.. is a denial of all you believe.

So the point of the blog is ... Las Vegas, and our view that it's different because some white millionaire did it. When the event show us.. There is no difference. it doesn't matter who's behind the gun, it just matters who's in front of the gun. The person behind the gun is ALWAYS the same person. Those would try and say, the color of a person's skin, their religion, their economic condition. their upbringing, their political ideology, or where they live... makes them all different...... is just avoiding the truth.... it stares you right in the face, at the end of the barrel.

So in a way your right, guns don't kill people, people kill people.............getting rid of the guns doesn't solve the problem, because there are too many of them out there........
What there is too many of out there... is the people willing to pull the trigger.
And even if you're not one of them, the idea that they can pull the trigger and fire nine rounds per second...is absurd. At least force THEM to pull the trigger nine times.

So, what I say has no truth, it's confusing, it's what is topsy turvy, ,and not the subject of the blog. It is something people can't understand, because I don't understand it.

After all is said done...You're just justifying yourself, seeing things different, so you don't have to see the truth. So nothing, I say can possibly be right , because if it is, then everything you say must be wrong.

I am not trying to condemn you, that everything you say is wrong.. It's not my purpose.... Simply, I'm not the one doing it...... You do it to yourself.

These people, Liszt, Fossil, Maisie et al........I wonder if they realize that their need to constantly proclaim that they can't understand your words or state their opinion that your words are nonsense, also proclaims their inability and/or their refusal to consider anything beyond the most simplistic expressions of the Human Condition......Maisie's need for "short, declarative sentences" in order to even entertain consideration of the ideas expressed........This is a group that does not play well with anyone pushing boundaries.......This is a group who uses "you're not normal" as an insult and present their own normality as a state that everyone should aspire to..........LOL

Ahhh yes, it is all clear now, thank you. The chant of the Liberal's, the rant of the Feminist's, the want of the GLBTQ, the orders of the SJWs. Dare to be different, you can be anything you want to be, there is nothing you can not do. Gender does not count. We are free to be what we want to be, don't play by the rules. March to the new beat, Left, Left, Left Left Left Left.

Jimmy, topsy turvy in my estimation is when people like Paddock get exactly what they want. And they want fame.

The media needs to take the fame, the glamour, the celebrity out of it. They need to just stop talking about it. More importantly they need to stop making ENTERTAINMENT of it!

So what can we actually do about it? The media gets paid in advance. Vote with your wallet and tell them the reason.

Thank you.

you prove my point..

As i say nothing is clear, people see things differently, all that does is clarify it for you.
so you can see it differently.

Well I would recommend for someone like you... don't even bother to look. It doesn't matter.

Thanks JC, your right. Kinda like Alice in wonderland or like that little ditty, when your close the small becomes the big and when your further away the big becomes the small, that's about the size where you put your eyes, that's about the size of it. As they say in Newfoundland "stay where yer at and I'll come to where yer to". What can I say, if I were you I'd still want to be me.

Not sure I'd call it pushing boundaries, more comparable to pushing bloggers away. I do believe there's room for all. If you find you can't follow jiminy's train of thought, move on to another blog.

confusing and contradictory? Yes.... possibilities are confusing and contradictory, as they are not facts. I understand that and I write that way. You get to see it that way. For most things I don't choose side, it's not all black and white to me. I don't write ... So you'd be able to understand....... I write about colors, and it's confusing to someone who is color blind.

Yes to you it appears that way.. For the longest time I thought it was just a tactic, but I was WRONG. I thought it was purposeful narrowmindedness. So what I saw, in you, was confusing and contradictory too. but I was WRONG.

This blog is about, believing what we see.... instead of seeing what we believe.

It's about openmindedness.. not narrowmindeness. It's about subjectivity, not objectivity. It's about ideas, not ideologies. It's about possibilities.

So, now I get to the point of YOU...It's not about being narrowminded..., and it's not hypocritical, and it's not contradictory.... and I am no longer confused. You are not openminded. You are not open to possibilities., Which is typified by the fact, that unlike me, you're not open to the possibility...YOU COULD BE WRONG.

"Write in such a confusing and contradictory manner that no one has any idea what the hell he is talking about" maise

when i say I see a black man as being the same as i see a white man....that's obviously not true....one's black and one's white. I don't say that to be absolute. I say it, to give people chance to look beyond the color of a person skin....It's confusing and contradictory.

when i say....I see any person behind the gun, as the same person. When i say a white christian behind a gun.. is the same as Muslim terrorist behind a gun. It can't be true, they are different. It's confusing an contradictory.

When i say Trump is a liar, manipulator, and blackmailer. As you relate that to politics....It's not true. But you fail to see... That I'm not relating it to politics.
Liberal and Conservative has nothing to do with it, for me... but has everything to do with it for you..

"I believe what I see, and not see what I believe... That itself is contradictory and confusing.

You take the high road.. I'll take the low road, and we'll meet together at the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

Ease the pain, ease the struggle......It's makes no difference in the end.

You take the easy road.. I'll take the hard road, and we'll meet on the bonnie, bonnie banks at the end of the road

The big picture is not the short road, but the long road that appears small

You take the short road, and I'll take the long road..and we'll meet at the bonnie bonnie banks at the end of our perspectives.

You don't want to be me, but what you want to be, doesn't change who you are

You take the different road.. I'll take the same road... and we'll meet at the bonnie, bonnie banks of Humanism.

There is a certainty of being certain. and an uncertainty in being uncertain.

You take the known road, I'll take the unknown road and we'll meet together at the bonnie, bonnie banks of the uncertain end.

Well, Maisie, your own style of cherry picking statistics to prove you are right carried to such extremes that they constitute misrepresentation and actual lies ......do you really think that isn't a creative writing exercise?......Do you really think we don't realize that you write in such a confusing, contradictory manner because you hope we don't know what the hell you're talking about and we will just swallow it whole?

Yup, you can do anything you want......you can even use apostrophes where they don't belong if you want to look like you didn't get past grade 2.
