INTRO!

This months blog (which is a bit late due to basic laziness) is about procreation and the misguided people who think it is the main purpose of life, and the possible reasons for this sort of thinking both positive and negative, in my uneducated opinion.

I have often heard people say that procreation is the point of life and at best been sceptical, at worst thought these people are talking complete s@!#, that being said without it (for the time being) human being’s obviously wouldn’t exist.

Now, before I start proper, I would like to point out that I have no kids myself, so some people may imagine a bitter and twisted middle aged man that’s been left behind in life with nothing else better to do than criticise anything and everything that moves, to those people I would like to say that I generally write these blogs for my own amusement, I am where I am in life for a number of reasons, and I have other things I could be doing but really can’t be bothered.

REASONS FOR PROCREATING. (real and possibly imagined.)

I suppose the first and most common reason is to basically start a family, a lot of decent well meaning people do this, some with more common sense than others but I would say that generally it’s a good thing, even if I have no experience myself and have no real idea what I am talking about. I suppose it is important to remember that there isn’t a rule book or instruction guide to refer to and like most things in life, the circumstance’s will dictate to the individuals involved when trying to raise a family. In regards to starting a family, in the UK and some of the other richer countries once you do it, you have to incorporate yourself into the system you live in to give your kid’s half a chance of having a decent life, tow the line, conform, this doesn’t always suit everyone and to be honest I look at this as a negative.

The second reason that I have heard on a number of occasion’s, and even had directed at me when I informed a female that I wasn’t interested in settling down or having kid’s was ” who is going to look after you when you are older ? ” This made me laugh because I am sure this is quite a popular reason even if a lot of people don’t admit it. I suppose when you think about it, if you are going to shit your pants or knickers, best to do it in front of a family member than a complete stranger, a bit selfish but understandable, I mean imagine the embarrassment. Also you hear stories about some of these care homes, not good.

This might be the opposite of a reason but it happens, pulling out to late, coming to early, faulty contraception, sex for the sake of sex, YES, the good old accident. plenty of lives have started this way for better or worse and I could criticise this sort of irresponsible behaviour but lets face it sex is as enjoyable as it can be selfish as far as I can remember and until the human race as we know it is replaced with genetically engineered nodding imbeciles you are not going to be able to stop people having sex.

Next reason, peer pressure, to look “NORMAL” to the rest of the world. Some people live their lives by bench marks as a sign of progress for themselves and people close to them, but have no real interest in doing the full job which can have catastrophic consequences for their partners and children, although that probably isn’t the worst case scenario as far as this reason is concerned but I’m not going to go into that, I will let you work that out for yourselves. I wonder how many lives have been ruined with this reason.

And the final reason I can think of, although I’m sure there are others is to keep a bloodline or family name going. This generally applies to people who live in castle’s and have family crests with Latin motto’s. Lucky them! In some cases though, probably involves some inbreeding.

I’ve thought of another! To save a relationship. This may or may not work, like 99.9% of the things I write about I have no idea, sounds a bit selfish and desperate though from the outside looking in. I suppose a nice cute baby can lighten the load and divert attention from people’s problems depending on how serious they are, like I said I have no idea. As for cute babies, in my opinion and this might show a lack of soul, a good percentage look like an assortment of dried fruit and extras from star trek, which of course is a matter of perspective.

I did have joke about cracks but I have decided to delete it, I have found to my cost that some jokes about women come at a heavy price.

I will stop there.

WILL HUMANITY EVENTUALLY HUMP ITSELF OUT OF EXISTENCE?

I honestly believe there is a strong possibility this could happen for a few simple reasons which I will list, I don’t see myself as a serious person, I joke about most things, but this I am serious about.

The speed at which the worlds population is growing is increasing. Every human being  has a limited and unknown amount of time on this planet which makes a lot of people selfish and act without thinking about the long term consequences, most people enjoy sex and will have it first and hope for the best afterwards, this will not stop, people like sex and see it as essential to their lives and even their health, which I see as a total bollocks and a basic excuse to justify their actions, if you like doing something just say that, don’t make excuses. So as I stated earlier, you will not stop people having sex.

So there we have it. 1) Speed of population growing at an alarming rate. 2) You will not stop people having sex. 3) People are living longer. 4) The planets resources and environment obviously have a limit and will be effected beyond repair if this situation goes unchecked, lets face it we’re turning our beautiful planet into a giant spinning turd. I’m not saying we’re at a dangerous stage yet, but things are only moving in one direction. It’s that simple.

Also, more people, more nutter’s, more potential victims, more chance of disease, more have nots = more chance of a complete and total disaster, or a group of totally unrelated disasters that could finish us all off. Remote maybe, but still a possibility.

POPULATION AND OPPORTUNITY. 

This isn’t just about over population it’s about how the way the world works in general and how they’re becoming incompatible with each other. I’m going to try and make this  as short as possible. We have mass migrations of people on the move for various reason’s, war and poverty (lack of opportunities) and they’re prepared to put their lives at risk for a small slice of the pie that is handed out to the lower end of society in other countries, they might not even get that and many people do actually die. That situation speaks for itself.

As far as I am concerned the world is geared towards a small percentage of people who want more than they need and are prepared to do anything to get it. And generally they do.

Put these two situations together and add it up with the disgruntled people who are having their small piece of the pie divided even more with no hope of change and there is a strong possibility we could have a situation that will end in chaos (in my opinion this has already started). It’s that simple, there are not enough decent opportunities world wide to give people the bare minimum to survive. More and more people are being born into this.

AND FINALLY.

Procreation is deeply ingrained into our thought processes which is hardly surprising  because this is how we exist, however like a lot of things just because we can, doesn’t mean we should, if anybody thinks that procreation is the sole purpose of life, you are obviously not aware of the vast amount of children that are abandoned around the world with very bleak futures and at the mercy of the worst sort of people, this situation occurs for a number of reasons, some unfortunate and some are down to reckless and selfish behaviour which amazingly is defended by people who break the boundaries of common sense, talking about lack of education, people like this do not help they are part of the problem. You don’t need to be educated to know that’s wrong, just to see it and know it can happen should be enough.

If you are going to create a life try and make sure it can have a half decent one.

Once I heard a bloke say that bringing another human being into the world is the most unselfish act, what a cock! This is another example of the sort of bollocks people tell themselves and others to fulfil their own ambitions for whatever reasons. Firstly this person, or any other for that matter can’t even determine their own futures let alone some one else’s. While some of us are born into better circumstances than others, from the moment we are conceived our lives are a complete lottery from beginning to end, with no guarantees.

I was going to end it here, but I have seen two programmes in two day’s that I thought I would mention, Ross Kemp’s excellent documentary (one of many) about Libya, showing the hardships that many people go through and the chances these people take to improve their situations with no certainties of success, which I think backs up some of my points.

The second programme was about privatised space flight and exploration with Prof’ Brian Cox, another good programme and a subject I am interested in. It was mentioned during this programme that space flight, exploration and colonisation is a possible solution to some of these problems which I would say is a possibility, but I also think that if humanity doesn’t change the way it thinks before we embark on these missions then we could end up with third world poverty, actually on a third world plus multiple spinning turd’s.

In my opinion privatisation is usually about greed.

I’m going to finish there, that’s my uneducated view on these subjects for better or  worse, until next time.

THE PIG.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INTRO!

In this article I will attempt to explain my understanding of transgenderism ( I’m not to sure that’s a word but I am going to go with it ), and gay relationship’s in regard’s to the church. Normally I would use picture’s and name’s but in the transgender section I am not going to do that. I am aware sometime’s these people can be targeted with the worst sort of abuse, I don’t want this article to encourage that.

I feel like I am really sticking my neck out on this one, so remember, this is the uneducated point of view, so, it is what it is. HERE GOES!

TRANSGENDER ISSUE’S!  ( mine or their’s? ).

I noticed recently there has been a lot of coverage on TV in one way or another, on the transgender issue, whether it be a documentary, something on the new’s, a character in a drama or soap and even a co-presenter on a programme I like, which if I’m honest is half the reason I’m writing this blog.

I will try and explain my feeling’s while watching this programme the best i can.

The programme hadn’t been on for a few year’s ( which is an important point ), it has one main presenter and two co-presenter’s, two bloke’s one woman. So I was watching this programme like I would normally, but something was bugging me, something was different, then I realised the woman used to be a man. Now once I got over the initial shock, surprise and unfortunately, childish amusement, a type of mild transgenderphobic ( not a word? still going with it ) behaviour, and if I’m honest not the first time I have reacted this way on the couple of occasion’s I have seen people of a transgender disposition. I am obviously aware that sort of behaviour fall’s well below the boundaries of acceptability, and I am not trying to make excuses for it, “but” it was a natural and honest reaction based on something I don’t usually see and I suppose something considered to be a taboo subject. Anyway, I carried on watching the programme plus the next couple of episodes and the transgender issue didn’t register again, I just enjoyed the programme for what it was.

When I was younger ( my age is forty seven at the moment ), I might have said that was wrong, this was wrong, this should be like that blah, blah, blah, so basically, has my behaviour evolved, and if it has, is it because of brave people like this presenter have had the confidence to come out into the firing line or is it that I have just got older and my tolerance level’s have become higher. I think age come’s into it a bit, but I really feel that the wider media coverage this subject is getting can only be a positive thing for these individual’s.

Unfortunately as we all know, with positive’s there are alway’s some negative’s, take this story for instance, I recently saw a person on the new’s who had changed their gender and said that she had gone back to work with apprehensive feeling’s but as it turned out all her colleague’s were very understanding and supportive. Unfortunately social media was a different story, she had been bullied and even recieved death threat’s, I find it hard to believe that people like this still exist, backward inbred mutant’s who probably confuse these people with sexual preditor’s of one type or another, who don’t even register on the human scale, and of course there’s the small percentage of people who don’t need a reason, they are naturally horrible.

This story obviously has a positive and a negative (score 1-1), so, i think the fact that this woman was brave enough to go on national TV and tell people how she had been treated, basically using the backward f@#%wit’s behaviour against them turn’s it into a victory ( I call it 3-1). Now that I have translated my attempted understanding of transgender issue’s into football terminology, I will finish off with my understanding of the deep, complex emotional problem’s that effect transsexual’s, NOT A HOPE!, bloody hell! just writing that down made the cog’s driving my brain grind together, joking aside, it must be extremely tough.

Basically, ( this is the main point I was trying to make ) even as an insensitive beer drinking slob, my thought process has gone through a sympathetic evolutionary change, ( a bit like a monkey turning into a man ) maybe that show’s overall progress. And the other point I suppose is people of a transgender disposition (and the people who support you ) not being oversensitive and realising what a real problem is and what is not.

SAME SEX MARRIAGE & THE CHURCH.

Pretty much like the transgender issue , I have never been that bothered by same sex relationship’s, or the gay thing, I would say when I was younger I might have had a slightly more negative point of view but didn’t really give a crap one way or the other. Also, like the transgender thing, I think it is publicised more, which has definitely helped their continuing journey into the main stream, but one thing that really puzzle’s me, is gay people who are religious ( come to think of it the same for transexual’s ) and want to be accepted by an organisation that doesn’t want them, and is also responsible, as far as I’m concerned, for the deeply ingrained negative attitude’s they recieve. Let me explain this opinion a bit further.

Most of us are taught from an early age, religious or not, that men and women should be together in marriage, I was personally told as a youngster “if you don’t get married people will think you are strange, “NOT NORMAL”, blah, blah, blah, I could go on but I will cut to the chase, those opinion’s and many other’s stem from religion, even though they may come from someone who is not religious. As for the word “NORMAL”, it is one of the worst word’s ever created, especially when used in conjunction with human behaviour and appearance, like the abominable snowman and the Loch Ness monster, in my opinion, it just doesn’t exist.

Now I am sure that most Christian’s are aware that early Christianity was like an underground movement ( a bit like the rave scene in the late eighties ) due to the pagan belief’s and persecution of the roman’s, up until the Emperor Constantine ( bronze statue of bloke in picture at the top of this section, wearing a dress ), who realised that Christianity was becoming so popular that he would have to encorporate it into the roman empire. As far as I understand he also mixed in some pagan celebration’s to make the transition smoother. Now baring in mind that the origin’s mainstream Christianity ( as far as I’m aware ) is sort of a hybrid religion, and has gone through many change’s and has gained many different faction’s over a two millennia period, so I don’t understand why gay people start their own version of Christianity, not just for gay people, but inviting everyone who is interested in that faith. Admittedly it might seem like I’m simplifying a complicated matter, ( remember this is the uneducated point of view ) but is it really that complicated, when Constantine was caught on the hop with the emergence of Christianity, he had to think on his feet and come up with a practical solution, maybe somebody who is gay and happens to be a member of the clergy should do the same.

AND FINALLY! 

I would like to point out that Christianity is not the only religion that has a problem with the subject matter written about in this article.

I suppose it is fairly obvious by now that I’m not religious, that’s all I’m going to say for the time being on that, as I’m going to write an article on religion in the near future, positive’s and negative’s, from my point of view anyway. As far as gay and transgender people go, I would say to anyone with a real problem with these people, take a look what’s going on in the world, while I was writing this article twenty two people, including children were killed by a suicide bomber in Manchester, this and other atrocities are being carried out on a daily basis all over the world, so is it really that much of a big deal.

Let’s say you hate someone for being gay, and then you hate them again and then you hate them a bit more and when you have hated as much as you can, what have you changed, NOTHING! Because some people are gay. It is beyond anyone’s control, another biological idiosyncracy within the human species, so, it is what it is, and this has all come from someone who generally doesn’t give a crap about anything.

You can sympathise with someone, have an opinion about something or someone, watch a film or documentary about various subject’s, but you can’t live somebody else’s life, even when you empathise, they are your feeling’s not there’s, so I will never understand what it is like to be gay or someone of a transgender disposition but I do know what it is like to receive negative attention over a long period of time. I have had a couple of mental breakdown’s ( admittedly self inflicted ), the first when I was seventeen the second one I am just recovering from now after roughly eleven year’s, I will not write to much now because I will be dedicating a blog to this. Finally, if anybody has an opinion on what I have written, positive, negative, indifferent please feel free to get in touch.

THE PIG.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INTRO!

This month’s edition will be about BREXIT, which I will break down into section’s for your ultimate amusement, annoyance, indifference. I will strive to give you the average uneducated person’s point of view, my point of view, with reason’s , from the time I voted – to now, leading up to the next general election, for better or worse complete with bad spelling and grammar.

IMMIGRATION.

I wonder how many times I can write the word IMMIGRATION in big capital letter’s and make the remain voter’s think about racist’s or racism, IMMIGRATION.

Anyway as we all know on the 23rd of June 2016 the referendum to stay in or leave the EU took place, and I personally voted to leave, for two main reason’s. Firstly we have no control over our own law’s, which pretty much speaks for itself, and secondly IMMIGRATION, which obviously is a more controversial issue.

My main problem with the migrant invasion from Europe is that it was done on such a mass scale that people on the lower earning spectrum feel it will cause long term damage to the NHS and the benefit system’s, which people like myself rely on, and cause constant low wages which I feel is the migrant worker’s main purpose. I know these point’s of view may make me seem like a backward inbred racist to the remain, educated political elite ( from now on I will refer to this bunch as REPE as well as politician’s, I also include large section’s of the media and some celebrities, basically people who can afford to think the way they do ) so with that in mind, especially if you are offended, I laugh in your general direction. IMMIGRATION.

THE REPE AND THEIR MIS-USE OF WORD’S TO MANIPULATE  US.

As much as I like being called a thick racist by the REPE I think their uses of the words racist and racism in relation to the BREXIT situation is at best laughable, at worst treats a very serious matter with a total lack of respect( the Gordon Brown type of racism ), I also think it’s potentially quite dangerous and show’s what length’s these people ( REPE ) are willing to go, to get their own way.

I have no doubt that a minority voted for racist reason’s, but for myself and a lot of other people ( I’m assuming ) it seemed more like a case of self survival, getting out while there was still time to save our countries infrastructure. IMMIGRATION. Basically the REPE massively contributed to their own downfall by scaremongering, lying and being totally ignorant of how a large section of our country felt about the situation ( a part of me feel’s that they new but hoped for the best ) and for once couldn’t use our ignorance against us.

In short I view the REPE as lying, gutless coward’s who will do or say anything for their cause and are so fanatical that they would be willing to sabotage their own countries chance of a successful future just to be right.

WHEN LOOKING TO THE FUTURE REMEMBER THE BONE’S OF OUR FOREFATHER’S.

I can understand the other EU member’s disappointment and annoyance at the UK leaving the European Union, but every time they think about saying we are anti-Europe, maybe they should think about how many British bones are buried on the European mainland fighting against various tyrant’s including Napoleon and Hitler, over many year’s. Thinking about this made me realise without us, modern day Europe wouldn’t exist including France and Germany.

Looking to the future I think it is highly unlikely that we are going to broker a deal that is perfect but we are still a strong nation and what we lose from Europe we can get back dealing with the rest of the world, while initially the road might be tough, I think in the long term we will be better off. I think it’s also worth mentioning that there might be a time when mainland Europe might need our army again ( hopefully not ). My other main concern’s is that the smaller EU state’s might be bullied by the German’s and the French, i suppose we will see.

People who say that leave voter’s have any anti – Europe opinion’s should look at this picture and feel ashamed, remember what our forefathers have sacrificed so you can have these so called opinion’s, which brings me to my next subject, traitor’s.

TRAITOR’S GATE.

In the good old day’s when a traitor had been found out, we used to be able to have a bit of a hue and cry, apprehend the perpetrator, whisk them off to the tower through traitor’s gate, lop their head’s off and stick it on a spike for public display, job done. Now day’s we have to make do with blog’s.

I am now going to select four people who voted to remain and judge them accordingly. I wish to point out that while I disagree with these people’s point of view I mean them no actual bodily harm.

SIR BOB GELDOF.

Mad Bob has done some fantastic stuff for charity with thing’s like LIVE AID, to name but one, this almost got you a commuted sentence. Unfortunately I feel that you really embarrassed yourself with that episode on the boat, so Bob, you are done. NEXT!!!!!

 NICOLA STURGEON (MP).

I would like to say to Nicola there’s nothing wrong with being a patriotic Scot, but quite frankly, in my opinion your real agenda is to separate yourself from England, it’s ok if you hate us but please don’t use the BREXIT issue as an excuse to achieve it. To me the UK is like a dysfunctional family, but look what we have achieved together, everyone want’s to come here. So, for trying to break it up you are done. NEXT!!!!

 GARY LINEKER.

---

As a life long Spurs and England supporter, it felt like a knife through my heart when I found out Gary was a remain voter. When I recovered from the initial shock, the betrayal was almost to much to bare.

That being said you scored a lot of goals for Spurs, so with that in mind I commute your sentence to an indefinite term in the tower with one meal of bread and water a day until you change your mind. Remember those big crowd’s you use to play in front of, a lot of them think like I do. ( might be something to think about ). Gary you played like a lion for England, now be one for Britain’s future.

 TONY BLAIR!!! ( former head of the Conservative b team )

Quite frankly in the good old day’s Tony wouldn’t have made it to BREXIT he would’ve been long gone already. As far as I’m concerned you sided with another lunatic, and through shear incompetence ( & I think I’m being kind to you on that one ) got us wrongly involved in conflict’s that have led to thousand’s of death’s and disrupted million’s of people’s lives. We’re still dealing with the repercussion’s today. Who in there right mind would listen to you!

So for these reason’s you’re going to be transported from the tower in solitary confinement whilst being gagged, to a secret location, where the most powerful rocket ever made will be waiting for you. You will be fastened to a chair inside the rocket, then the door will be welded shut, then you will be launched into the sun, never to return. Your ego knows no boundaries, this makes you dangerous and totally shameless. F@#% OFF, YOUR DONE!

Just a quick word about lies and manipulation again, whenever I have seen someone criticise the second Iraq invasion and the war in Afghanistan in front of politician’s who support these conflict’s, they always jump in with the same bulls#@t ” your criticising our brave soldier’s “. This is a lie they use to divert attention from their huge mistake and in turn, is believed by complete idiot’s.

For the record we have the greatest army in world, with brave men and women serving with distinction, where ever they are. I would like to give the Amercan army a shout on that one as well ( without them we might not have had a country ). They do not chose the conflict’s they serve in. Remember this and don’t be easily misled.

SUMMARY.

Does anyone remember voting to go into the EU? I thought it was worth mentioning.

Also i would like to say something about anyone who voted for racist reason’s and direct there anger at the migrant workforce, you can’t blame people for wanting to improve their situation, you would be better off directing your point’s of view at the people who make these decision’s on our behalf. There is nothing these politician’s like better than ordinary people misdirecting their anger and at each other.

Anyway back to the REPE ( IMMIGRATION! ), some of these people say racism, anti Europe, anti multiculturalism but I’m pretty sure we had a multicultural society before the mass migration from Europe, I wonder how many of them voted to leave? Which brings me back to the points about lying for your own gain, being ignorant of, and disrespectful to the less fortunate in your own country. There is also the total disregard of the democratic process, still trying to go against the final decision a year later, to me it shows that you don’t believe in democracy ( which is one of your main purposes ) but dictatorship. While the leave voter’s have the racists the remain have the REPE, the other end of the stick and even more dangerous, hiding behind a cloud of false niceness and non common sense, people who would give everything away until nothing is left. When that happens, who can you help then? By the way IMMIGRATION!

I would like to finish off with a couple of thought’s on the upcoming general election, I think there are only two viable candidate’s, Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May. I think Jeremy Corbyn come’s across as quite a decent bloke and has real Labour value’s ( something Labour haven’t had for a while ), but doesn’t seem like someone who’s strong enough to deal with the sort of lying scumbag’s he’s going to come across at the top of political spectrum. In an ideal world Jeremy would be great but as we know that ideal world doesn’t exist.

I think our best bet as far as the EU negotiation’s go is Theresa May, she also come’s across as a half decent person ( especially for a Conservative politician ) and has extensive experience of dealing with lying scumbag’s ( Cameron and Osborne to name but two ) within her own party, which should more than equip her for the upcoming situation. I know there are other issue’s, but the EU negotiation’s are massive and for this reason I say support your country and vote for Theresa May.

Mind you, hearing about some of the other policies the Conservative’s are talking about, in conjunction with the upcoming BREXIT negotiation’s, maybe they’re thinking it’s a good election to lose.

No, they wouldn’t surely. ( well, it is the Conservative’s ).

THE PIG.
