Enviar a email | Nothing good comes from TV en artistas | Por Wednesday Sreda el 21-Aug-2008 | Life is a royal freaking pain in the ass. It just is. And I'm quite sure, it always has been. Why do I state this? Because... well.. It's what I've seen. So far, the only people I've know of, who don't seem to have a problem with their life, are two hippies and that Indian kid who spends months in apparent stupor talking to Buddha under a tree, without eating or sleeping or drinking or even freaking opening his eyes.
Today I read the most... downright stupid piece of self-righteous bullshit I had read, like, EVER. Ever, since Bush dared acuse any living soul of human rights abuse, without taking first a long, hard look at his guilty dumbface on a mirror.
There's this venezuelan actor named Luis Fernández. From what I've read (he writes a column on a weekly chick magazine that comes in a national newspaper on thursdays), he's the kind of guy who really, really thinks he knows the way to total happiness, perfection, and achievement. Total realization. The kind of person who never had to take his time to "know himself truly" because he was born knowing the kind of moron he was (only, as every moron does, he thought of himself as "really really awesomely clever").
Anyway, this raging asshole apparently had to withstand long hours of heavy traffic on Children's Day, because a manifestation for animal rights was being held somewhere up the road. Obviously, it put a hold on traffic flow, so it got (more) stuck. I wish, for the sake of his poor son, that what he spoke against animal activism on the article, was merely due to the understandable bother that grows consistently within a person while they sit boringly inside a car for hours, knowing they have to be somewhere. I sincerely hope he was just upset at it, rather than actually just being a regular jackass.
In said article, Fernández mentions a young boy he saw while driving (or being driven) uptown from the airport in one of the barrios of the city, playing with sewage. He asks where is the mother, the father, the aunt, the clergy, the "dame's society" (beats the hell out of me, probably out having tea and discussing knitting somewhere in ENGLAND, idiot), when our children are out playing with poop. Of course he remained seated, did nothing and just looked at the boy in indignation and disgust. What was he to do, anyway?
Further down the article, as the guy comes up to realize the cause of such locked up traffic, he goes on this rant of blatant stupidity, asking why we should worry less about kids, and more about "a tiger who lives with air conditioning and what consists on a diet probably healthier than the kid's", and how "worrying about animals when our children play with sewage is pretty much an insult". Even mentions how we should do something about our kids, who are "on the path to extinction".
Here goes my response. Now, I have divided it in pretty little numbers, as I assumed you'd have more fun reading it like this (or not, I just felt like numbering):
1.- "Children" can't become extinct, because a "child" is not a species, a child is the offspring of a human, and since humans are nowhere near extinction (and most likely towards being a plague), and most humans can still bear children; have no access, knowledge or will to wear condoms; and enjoy sex (and have it consensually and non-consensually), I'd say we have a long, long, LONG path towards ever being extinct. Fucking nuclear weapons are most likely to cause it, rather than sewage. Thousands of years of history will teach you that "boom" kills more, and faster than poop. (Poop is dangerous, nonetheless, so be smart and don't let your kid play with it, as it can get sick)
2.- I have a right to fight for whichever cause I see fair. If I thought that torture was fair, useful and needs to be applied more, specifically at elementary schools, I'd fucking fight for it. I'd be called all sorts of names and probably be jailed, but I'd give it a shot, or at least, I'd keep my beliefs. And part of being tolerant and respectful, consists of letting others SPEAK for what they believe. I'd gladly let you speak up for torture, so long as you know I'll speak up against it (and you should let me do it freely).
3.- If you can't see it from the old-age perspective of "you wouldn't like to have your kids being abused to do silly tricks or living in unproper conditions", then look at it from a selfish angle: if animals are there to keep a balance, and we fucking kill half and use the other half for circuses and zoos, do you really think that's helping the balance, or is it fucking it up? We need animals where they are, we need to respect them (grizzly bears are a great example of an animal who's grown an exaggeratedly violent response to humans, out of a history of abuse), learn from them, and give them the space they need. I love steak, chicken and fish, but it's fucking evil to treat cows and chicks like that, and if you eat all of the fish, not only do you leave behind a massive crew of hungry fish-eaters, but you face an overpopulation of whatever it was the fish ate. Nature has a balance to work right. And nowadays we see more and more of the damage we've done by constantly breaking it. Isn't it good for that sewage-loving boy that there's people caring for his home? There's tons of people involved in children and poverty charities, why go against animal lovers instead of those guys, who don't seem to have a lot of success with their fight?
4.- Further in the article, the guy actually insults animal rights activists, saying we're not satisfied with out lives, and that if we're really that unhappy, we shouldn't be dressing up in tiger suits and ruining other people's lives. TOTALLY UNNECESARY AND UNCALLED FOR. You can say you don't like MY charity, but to question our motives is completely disrespectful. It's like me, saying the only reason you care about kids is because it paints a prettier persona for you and makes you more likeable, therefore raising your audience and fame and fattening your pocket as your price goes up. Isn't it?
At the beginning of the piece, he mentions he's an animal lover who has always believed they should be left alone in their natural habitats, loved and respected. Of course we all know that Indian rainforest has amazing air conditioning, and tigers normaly have enclosed spaces to roam "freely" while people walk by, staring at them.
What a great example for those soon-to-be-extinct children.
