I went to the eye doctor lastnight, and it wasn't too bad. The guy was nice, and the eye tests were much more thorough than the old place. I did get nervous, because I hate having to sit still while someone is practically staring at me, but it was okay once it started. They even checked if one day I may be a candidate for LASIK/laser eye surgery, and unfortunately the answer was "probably not". If I wanted to get it done, my eyes would have to remain somewhat stable from here on. But then again, it's really too early to be absolutely sure. The age you have to be to get the surgery is around 21 or 24.On to a different topic - "Teen 'sport killings' of homeless on the rise". It's discusting. What right do they think they have when they are taking away a life? It could just as easily have been them, and what with all the pot smoking and other drugs, probably will be homeless themselves eventually. To make it worse, these idiots blame video games for causing them to go out and murder somebody. First of all, you must be mighty stupid/mentally ill to cause a video game to influence you, and even then the person wouldn't recognise it to be the reason. Just like using God as a scapegoat for war and bigotry, this is really no different.
Speaking of God, I've been thinking about people and religion.. how some think that this life doesn't really matter, that helping the environment doesn't matter, etc, because "the Rapture is coming". Even if this Rapture were to take place, did it ever cross these peoples' minds that God would want them to take care of his planet?
It's just horrible that some people choose to believe something so extreme. I couldn't really care less if people use an imaginary friend to get them through the day, to comfort them, but when it comes to the point where the person actually thinks that this life doesn't matter because he/she is going to heaven, that's when it goes too far (along with trying to force religion into the public school system). Some may ask why I even care.. after all, I hate most people. But I can't stand it when someone takes something so great, such as life, for granted. If your job is shit, find one that you like. If you can't, then you probably should have went to college and layed off on the drugs. 0 Comments - Post/view comments
