The Right To Destroy Oneself

Defense: My client wants to terminate his own misery with the aid of a friend.
DA: Objection! We can't afford to lose some pathetic loser, who out of numerous disappointments in his life chooses consensually to terminate his own life.
Defense: Damn, I lose my case!

What's the fuss about getting 'court order' for assisted suicide?! I mean, it makes sense not to freely kill someone against their will... but assisted suicide?! That's stupid at best! Why does one have to take permission from some authority to kill someone who trusts them to terminate their life?!

You know what I think? If you want someone to kill you, you have only one friend: The drug dealer. Just pay him extra bucks to get you some good quality Ecstasy drug, take an overdose and die feeling the whole world is yours... and after all, that drug dealer has no legal liability over the incident, so you don't have to worry about your loyal friend being sued.
Just a thought.

PS: Try at your own risk

Maybe That Hideous Reflection Is Mine

Quoting Staind in "Outside":

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you (Full lyrics)

Slipknot -in their aggressive way- clearly state it in "I Am Hated":

Now I'm not pretty and I'm not cool
But I'm fat and I'm ugly and proud - so fuck you (Full lyrics)

Finally, Marilyn Manson seems to have a word on the subject, in his song "The Nobodies":

Yesterday I was dirty
Wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt (Full lyrics)

Shall I Say: Hail Satan?

If you do not believe in what your religion teaches, why continue to support a belief which is contradictory with your feelings. You would never vote for a person or issue you did not believe in, so why cast your ecclesiastical vote for a religion which is not consistent with your convictions? You have no right to complain about a political situation you have voted for or supported in any way - which includes sitting back and complacently agreeing with neighbors who approve the situation, just because you are too lazy or cowardly to speak your mind. So it is with religious balloting. Even if you cannot be aggressively honest about your opinions because of unfavorable consequences from employers, community leaders, etc., you can, at least, be honest with yourself. In the privacy of your own home and with close friends you must support religion which has YOUR best interests at heart.

Oopsie, Google Speaks Arabic Now

While a friend was at my place it occured to us to make a search on google about some topic. To my ultimate embarrassment google speaks arabic now! "I didnt make it that way, I swear!" I reason. "Type the address again man, maybe you misspelled something." my friend suggests. It shows the same site... My friend notices something odd: "btw, why does the address bar show google.jo rather than google.com"... It occured to me then that they must have localized my page!! I gotta tell u a something: I HATE LOCALIZATION!
Finally i find a link that says: "English", and my day goes back to normal again.

Satanic Pride

Today, during my algorithms final exam, i had to sign on a paper that shows the names of the students with their total marks out of 60. My grade was 58, taking the lead (as is obviously expected). But something else other than the mark is right next to my name: two words, "Fuck you".
Obviously some guy who prefers to remain anonymous hates me. It made me feel good about myself, and kinda boosted my ego. It feels good to be loved by someone.... and it feels almost equaly good to be hated by someone else.

Sado Maso

A look at the dark side of our incomprehensible life:

Slipknot in their song "Vermillion Pt.2":

She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable, She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason (Full Lyrics)

Cradle of filth in "Nymphetamine":

Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine (Full Lyrics)

My own composition:

I hear you, but cannot see you
I see you, but cannot touch you
I touch you, but cannot feel you
I feel you, but cannot believe in you
Princess I am a slave to the darkness within your soul

Satanic Sex Philosophy

In a previous post i have introduced the band Rockbitch and provided download links to one of their live performances: Bitchcraft.

The following is an extracted quotation of a conversation between one reporter and the members of Rockbitch band found on that video:

Reporter: You guys are extreme, you have kinda pushed the boundaries as far as u can bloody push it!
All: NOO!!
Reporter: You havent?
Vocalist: No we havent. you know, sexuality is so eclectic, its a rainbow of experiences. we have hardly taped into the kinds of things that women like.
Performer: And positions.
Reporter: What happens when say, just two people in a bedroom... is that still exciting? or is it just like.....
Vocalist: No, you dont do that babe... thats boring... any sex between just two people should be illegal... it should be a legal responibility for everybody to expand their horizons...
(kidding and light gestures)
Vocalist: We dont profess that everybody in the world would find all the different things we do appropriate for their sexuality, but if you are able to have an open mind about a fist fucking or something else extremely extreme, then you will have an open mind about somebody else's politics, their sexual politics, or the color of their skin. if you have an open mind about sex, and can look at what we do, and be happy and say "ohh yeah!", this makes the world a better, happier, and healthier place.

Amen to that!

Comic Strips I Dig

Here are few comic strips I stumbled on recently and really liked:
- Capitalism sucks
- Straight people suck
- For the traditional?

Apathetic Rebellion

I admire the "keep it to yourself" attitude:
here is why...

Apathy Unveiled

Quoting from the song "Instinct" for Arch Enemy, consider this excerpt:

The more I see - the less I believe
The more I hear - the less I care
This world we've created, has left me cold
This world is sedated, dying in it's sleep

I feel nothing

Seen it written on a thousand faces
The simple truth we fear
Seen it happen in a thousand places
Instinct brought us here (Full lyrics)

Following that train of thought, we reach the same conclusion, that Marilyn Manson states clearly in his song "The Nobodies":

We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
We're dead, we know just who we are (Full Lyrics)

Thats my personal inference of Darwinism.

Negativity is a talent - Round 2

Who can resist wisely-chosen well-spoken shrewdly-worded sarcasm?
ABSOLUTELY NOT ME!

As sequel to my previous "Negativity is a talent" title, i elect this link quotation.

PS: the quotation was ripped off a fellow blogger's post

Blessed Ignorance?

"Omniscience is also studied in game theory, where it is not necessarily an advantageous quality if one's omniscience is a published fact. For example, in the game of chicken: two people each drive a car towards the other. The first to swerve to avoid a collision loses. In such a game, the optimal outcome is to have your opponent swerve. The worst outcome is when nobody swerves. But if A knows that B is in fact omniscient, then A will simply decide to never swerve since A knows B will know A's logical decision and B will be forced to swerve to avoid a collision — this is assuming each player is logical and follows optimal strategy." (source)

"when i reminisce ignorance was bliss," (LimpBizkit - Lonely World)
"Ignorance is not bliss" (Arch Enemy - We Will Rise)

"A pain-in-the-ass partner? Lose so that he will lose." (Common Saying, translated from Arabic)
"Truth hurts." (Common Saying)

"he who dont make the work, makes others do it !!!" (Devil's Mind)

Which is a stronger weapon, wisdom or ignorance?! Ignorance is actually an exploit of knowledge. Sometimes, u just gain advantage by not knowing... Would u wanna know what u've been missing then?! Personally, i never repented what i know, although i did recognize at certain moments that ignorance would have been just easier.

Considering such dilemma, the question of 'to know or not to know' may not be as straightforward as it may seem initially, but effectively an optimal strategy is being wise, acting dumb! This might work for someone!

Fate: A Commonly Misunderstood Truth

"We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at any given moment knew all of the forces that animate nature and the mutual positions of the beings that compose it, if this intellect were vast enough to submit the data to analysis, could condense into a single formula the movement of the greatest bodies of the universe and that of the lightest atom; for such an intellect nothing could be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes." (source)

-Marquis Pierre Simon de Laplace

"Uncertainty is the direct consequence to lack of knowledge."
"Probability is the science of dealing with lack of science."
"Fate can be pre-calculated."

-Devil's Mind

Free Knowledge Is Not A Myth

Knowledge is not a property. Knowledge is not some poison. Knowledge doesnt make you a criminal. Everyone has the right to be selfish. Everyone has the right to withhold his knowledge from others. But (i think) it is through sharing of knowledge the whole world can prosper. Thats the real spirit.

Although knowledge is suppressed in many contexts by several ways, including patents and intellectual property, or through censorship and encryption of information, yet i see a flame blazing in the skies. It is just simple proof of concept, but it speaks so loudly.
This success story has a name: its called wikipedia....

Censorship In Its Ugliest Forms

Censorship is an unethical act that abuses the basic human rights of freedom, free speech, free expression, and individuality. It also deprives the human community of knowledge and experiences needed to for it to flourish and reach technological advancement. Thus censorship abuses humans as individuals, and as collective community. Censorship is usually pracriced by many governments and organizations to protect their interests by depriving the public of information. Violent acts against offending parties has also been practiced throughout history.

In not-so-new news, microsoft has been obliged by the chinese authorities to censor many blogs from chinese users. Following some links in that article, i have reached some more horrible citations of censorship acts practiced in china, including violence against "Falun Gong" and other parties.

Someone, may or may not, support organizations such as "Falun Gong" which are depressiated by some governments, but we need to stand for each and everyone's right to promote their ideologies in any proper way they please.
