Drop your crutches, cripple
All the crappy excuses people use to get through their crappy lives.
February 22, 2004
How convenient it must be to be fat. To be able to use that as an excuse for everything that doesn't go your way. Didn't get that job? Must be because you're overweight. Girl turned you down when you asked her out? Must be because you're too heavy. Never mind you're a lousy, self-pitying clod with a shitty attitude and a chip on your shoulder.
There are too many people who look for excuses in life. Most of these excuses are bogus, they're just crutches for people to lean on. To help people not take responsibility for themselves. The problem is, relying on these excuses and hang-ups cripples their ability to function in our society.
For some women, their femininity is the crutch they lean on. They always feel like someone is reacting negatively towards them or that they are being discriminated against for being female. Perhaps it has nothing to do with their being a woman, and everything to do with their being a loud-mouthed, know-nothing bitch. Do they ever consider THAT as a possibility? I think I've found a new cause to champion: the Associated League for Less Discrimination of Uppity Loud-Mouthed Know-Nothing Bitches (ALLDUMB). Care to join?
For other women, maybe their boobs are so big nobody gives them any respect. Their breasts are so large and they are so sexy that men are intimidated by them. You know these birds, you've seen them on the "I'm all that with a side of cole slaw, but I can't get a date!" episode of Jenny Jones. These women are ridiculous. They are so obsessed with their appearance that anything and everything in their world revolves around how they look. Personally, I'm glad you have a huge rack, and this is just a guess but ... maybe you can't get a date because you're a selfish, shallow, materialistic hag. Like I said, that's just a guess. And no, other women are not jealous of you, they find you annoying.
In the same vein are the women who believe their "power" and intelligence intimidates men. Yeah, we're all cowering in fear, huddled in a corner sucking our thumbs. We're in awe of your superior ability and brain-power! Give me a fuckin' break, will you? This whole idea of men being intimidated by strong women is stoopid. Sure, there are some lily-livered pussies out there who actually ARE intimidated, but they are in the minority. If you are a smart, strong-willed, successful woman and find that other people react strangely to you, it's most likely because you're an arrogant prick. And no, other women are not jealous of you, they find you annoying. You're getting the same reaction that arrogant men get. People are turned off by you, not intimidated. So stop using that crutch for when things don't go your way.
While I'm at it ... you can stop "keeping it real" any day now. As far as I can tell, that phrase is just an excuse to allow yourself to do whatever dumb-assed, lazy thing you want while giving the appearance that you are doing the dumb-assed, lazy thing for some reason of higher authority. Why must keeping it real always involve living a shallow life with no class and personifying ignorance? That phrase is a crutch for being dumb-assed and lazy.
You know what else? God is not responsible for your station in life. No matter if you're Donald Trump or a homeless guy on the street. God did not make your life for you. God is just another crutch for people to lean on; for people to not take responsibility for their own actions and situations. How many times have you heard someone thank God when something goes well? Compare that answer to how many times you've heard someone blame God when something goes poorly. Funny, isn't it? Nobody ever blames God. They say "God intended this to happen," or "God works in mysterious ways." Notice that the very last thing they would say is, "I fucked up." Just another crutch.
I implore you to drop your crutches! Get over your hang-up, no matter what it is. Big nose, short legs, gender issues, receding hairline, race, religion, whatever. Yeah, that's right, I group big nose in the same "hang-up" category as race, because the people that have these hang-ups are affected in the same way. They blame their misfortunes on discrimination and harassment when there is no actual discrimination nor harassment in play.
Discrimination and harassment are real issues, I don't want to downplay that. People are treated unfairly everyday based on their race, gender, appearance, or beliefs. It's a serious problem that plagues America. Which is exactly why I can't stand to see false accusations being levied by people with hang-ups - using excuses for crutches - as opposed to people who are truly victimized.
