Myths about pornography

Women are exploited
So these women in these movies, they are there to get men to spend money on DVDs or websites subscriptions. The whole industry functions on the need most men have to be stimulated by sight. The money comes from these men and goes into the pockets of the people who make and act in the movies. It's like vampires complaining that they are being exploited by all that blood that living human beings have.

“Perverse” and “unnatural”
In what sense? As long as there have been orifices people have wanted to stick things in them. It's an instinct. If a penis can fit in it somebody is going to try to get one in. People have genitals. This is natural. Healthy genitals, when handled properly provide pleasure. People hook up for casual sex all the time. Right now there is somebody near you getting laid and they are probably doing it with somebody whose last name they will forget within a week. There are also people with cameras filming stuff. Neither one of these things is odd. Even when you take the position that casual sex is wrong or bad, it's hardly new or rare.

Causes crimes against women
Supposedly men look at women as “sex-objects” because of porn. They dehumanized and thus are open to being used. The problem is that even in places where there is relatively little pornography women are dehumanized. The same crimes that are committed against them ostensibly as a result of the pervasiveness of pornography have always, and will always, be committed against them until they all become genetically engineered cyborgs with vaginas molded from surgical steel.

Harms relationships
Only relationships that were teetering on the brink anyway. Who seriously gets threatened by somebody on a screen? I'll tell you who, women (and, occasionally, men) who are looking to make you the scapegoat for their unhappiness and insecurity, that's who. Porn comes with a social stigma, even among its most ardent consumers. You say your husband watches porn in certain company and he will be tainted for life and you, poor, frail female, will get to look like the victim of a disgusting pervert.

Desensitizes
You get desensitized to the nudity of somebody you see naked every day. Thee are lots of women who appear in porn. Until you get tired of each one of them you won't be desensitized to them. You can lose the sense of shock you had as you were getting your cherry busted to the first anal sex scene, yes, but is shock really why you watch porn? If it is then maybe you are addicted to an adrenaline rush rather than actual erotic depictions. I could be wrong but I don't think sex is supposed to be “shocking”.

Why old people are evil

They are all pedophiles

They seek to suck the life out of your children via inappropriate touching. The shuffling walk and bent stature are in place to lull you into a false sense of safety. "You can easily escape this person", they seem to say, "they are weak and slow". But they are not. They have the speed and reflexes of a jungle cat along with the crushing death-grip of a python in his prime. Opposites attract, right? Kids are young and old people are old, that's all the logic you need to know that I am right.

They are vampires

I firmly believe that all fiction has some foundation in fact. Bram Stoker and Anne Rice wrote about vampires therefore some version of vampires must exist in nature. You saw the movie Unbreakable, this line of thought was set forth in that movie. Vampires are old and don't ever die unless you stake them through the heart. Being fiction that is an exaggeration of the fact which is that they take a long time to die. They also suck the life-force out of younger people, though not with blood. You ever visit somebody in a nursing home? You felt tired afterwards, right? Maybe a little depressed? That was them sucking life from you.

They envy your relative youth

Why do you think they support the GOP so fervently? They want to put forward the party most likely fuck up the lives of people under 50. They want you to suffer because you have the gift of being around after they are gone and so, fuck you. They buy Styrofoam containers just to throw them away, and 80s hairspray off EBay just so they can spend their nights spraying them from the roof-tops and laughing about the UV-ray cancer you will get long after they are gone.

Bad things happened in their prime

Jim Crow, Adolf Hitler, George Wallace, Charles Manson these men were active in their generation, when they ruled the world. That was the kind of shit they liked. Dead bodies keep showing up in my basement then I am probably a serial killer, am I right?

They don't like condoms
This is the ultimate revenge ploy for you being young and them being old. They get themselves some kind of disease (they don't have long to live so they don't care) and then they transmit to some young person they have seduced. The next time grandma gives you those come-hither eyes, know what's behind it. She wants to give you a dose.

Why scientists are evil

Superiority complex

When you are smarter than everybody else it is easy to get to where you despise them. The more immersed in knowledge you get the more difficult it is to see why other people just don't get it. A man who spends his days pondering complexities will look on those who struggle with far more simple problems as liabilities to the race. This is just natural. They have to hate you because compared to them you are pretty worthless. I mean if you and Jonas Salk were on the Titanic and only one of you could fit in the lifeboat and the polio vaccine had not been discovered yet, who should die? You of course, you worthless fucking loser. Let Dr Salk live as you perish in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. That's what you deserve. That's why super-villains always want to destroy the world, you are all expendable because of your stupidity.

They are a different animal entirely

Most people don't have to think about discovering some deep and hidden principle of how the world works and then document it according to rigorous rules whilst competing with people who may know something you don't. Most people look forward to being able to purchase a handle of store-brand vodka on Friday night, or look forward to checking their favorite porn site while on the way home from work. Their problems consist of waiting for the room-mate to leave so that they can masturbate freely in the living-room. It's hard to relate to the rest of human life if you actually think about things. Life amidst the chaos and noise of the masses when you are used to thinking in ordered logical terms has to be jarring, which is where you get the notion of "ivory towers" an the people in them who patronize the ordinary minds. Not being able to fit makes for an asocial person, which means that the smart people tend to not like their fellow man.

They are feared

People fear those smarter than them, and they should. But that fear should be mutual. There is nothing so dangerous as a man who is both stupid and cowardly. The educated and intelligent should fear everybody else. They are surrounded. The coward who fears the right things is bad enough, the man who fears the wrong things is comical, but the man who has no idea what it is that he is supposed to fear, well, he is the man who starts wars and shoots blindly at the night. This is where lynchings and bankruptcies and whole political movements based on cursing the darkness are formed. The intelligent know that when the time comes that the proletariat want to put somebody up against the wall, the guys with glasses are usually the first to go. The educated will seem too dangerous to the uprising, they will have to be silenced. Science people know that they have to take proactive steps, always squelch anything that looks like it it might rise up against them, always be on the look out for dissent. You see, while the morons have no idea which way the danger will come from, the smart ones do, they know what it will look like both in the seed and as a thriving plant. They know what methods to use to kill anything that does not work in their favor.

Nerds

These are people who are raised in a society that believes that the kind of car you drive is important, a sign of superiority, as is the handsomeness of your significant other. They, on the other hand choose a different path, one where they attain status by virtue accomplishment, discovery, persistence and clarity of thought. They, by virtue of bringing about specific, provable results, have rejected the the bullshit attitudes of their fellow man and chosen to live in rebellion against them, making clear their contempt for the moron in the most pointed way possible: by not being like him. When, early in life you chose the path of the intellect, of knowledge you will be an outcast. You get the moniker of "nerd" to signify that you are a different kind of person, to be treated differently. It means that you spit upon the soap operas and the game shows and sports in order to think and to calculate. You are a different, possibly lower form of life. It engenders bitterness and contempt, this apartheid of the intellect. Bitterness and contempt, in turn, bear poisonous, violent fruit.

Morality is a hindrance

Morality puts a damper on everything. If you want to put the brain of a chimpanzee inside the skull of an infant human you cloned in the lab, somebody somewhere would probably have a problem with it. It doesn't matter that you are brilliant for having devised the technique and that it could cure countless diseases and offer insight into how the human body works, no, it hurts an ape and a baby therefore it is bad. For a scientist to get anywhere fast he has to be willing to break a few rules, perhaps even contravene every concept of human decency ever to be held. It's all in a days work for the men in white lab-coats. I am not saying that all scientists are amoral, just that it probably doesn't hurt their careers if they are.

Why doctors are evil

Too used to death

Do you really want to put your life in the hands of somebody who will see three deaths before lunch? How can you consider somebody that accustomed to human suffering, that, used to watching his fellow man pass out of this world, human? The things that people are usually afraid of are the things that they see so often that they cannot feel the same way about them as the rest of us. They are not unlike sadistic murderers. They may not always cause the pain, but they don't much care if you suffer, either. This is the kind of job that would appeal to a sociopath. You are guaranteed to see human suffering, and a certain amount of leeway to hurt and to kill.

Too much praise

People fear death. Doctors, as limited as their effectiveness is, are still speed-bumps in death's path towards us. They are better than nothing and as death is so fearsome they are treasured by the most cowardly of men. People desperately want to believe that these guys can provide an effective barrier between them and what they fear most in life. That if thy listen to this guy, if they pay him a lot of money and follow his instructions as closely as possible they will somehow be less under the power of death than they would if they did not. This gives doctor's tremendous influence, a great emotional significance. They hold the same place that witch-doctors and shamans had in other more primitive cultures. They are seen as guardians, protectors of the weak from a dark unknown and their value is mostly about fear. The fact their skills are valued enough to make them wealthy is a sign of the cowardice of their fellow man.

Nobody wants to help other people that much

You have to undertake a long, unpleasant, extremely stressful, expensive period of study in order to get a shot at helping people. Nobody does this because they love their fellow man. The people who emerge at the other end are guaranteed to be the most selfish, greediest, most purely ambition-driven individuals. These are the people who are able to jettison the humanity that causes so many others to fail. To have somebody claim to devote themselves, their careers, to the health of strangers means that they are either liars or completely deluded about their own motives.

What is medicine, really?

How much of it do you really need a doctor to do? You have the emergency patchwork, the prescription of painkillers and antibiotics, along with some diagnosis here and there. Most of it can be handled by a decent nurse.

Basically, doctors exist purely for the psychological comfort that comes from having somebody massively confident (possibly to the point of delusion) in the room. They are given white coats and come with prestige purely because people need to have some kind of expert in the room, or somebody who claims to be an expert. They are there to satisfy human weakness, the way a lying car salesman will reassure you that you just made the right purchase even though he knows that you just made a mistake.

"Bedside manner"

This is what, supposedly, they teach a doctor to get them to respond to a patient's emotional needs as well as cure physical ailments. What it really is is where they teach the greedy sociopaths how to act human. If they really cared about their fellow man and had some kind of altruistic interest in serving their communities as they claim, they wouldn't need to be taught how to be nice. This is about salesmanship, making the scary, painful environment of a hospital more palatable to people who are not used to being around death and illness every day. Doctors are nice, there is no need to fear the hospital, come to us so we can get your money. Doctors attitudes are really just another marketing tool so they can fill more beds with the insured and ill than their competition.

Why dogs are evil

Can you ride a dog?

No you can't, they are useless for transportation unless you live in Alaska, then you have to keep a whole pack of them and live in a hygienic nightmare. In Alaska. The usefulness of dogs is limited to leading the blind and to police-work. Still they have attached themselves to human culture, demanding to be fed to be protected, to be kept as free boarders in our homes even as they make noise, and chew through your computer power adapter cords. Why? They have a sentimental hold over humans, having learned to pretend to feel things. Even in places where they are considered unclean there are still dogs, there are always dogs.

Do they bite your enemies?

They would serve a purpose if they were consistently useful for protection, meaning that each breed would be able to contribute to its household by attacking intruders. Most dogs are not kept with with this in mind, however. They are bred to look appealing and to get people to pay attention to the owner, to flatter the owner's taste. They are, for the most part, useless to their owners except as a deterrent to somebody who means harm. You have to hope that your assailant has some irrational fear of dogs. Dogs don't usually stand and fight somebody who can cause them pain and injury. They, like all animals, are very much invested in their own survival. So, no, they probably won't help you fight your battles, You are as on your own there as you ever were.

Other people's dogs

They shit in your yard, and you have to trust the retards that walk them down your street that they know how to raise a dog right, the same way you have to trust other people that they taught their children how to cross a road properly. That's a lot of trust. If one of those dogs bites you, you feel the pain, nobody else. You want trust some asshole you don't know with your safety? Keep a knife with you and stab the owner first if attacked by a dog. You can claim afterwards that the stabbing was an accident as you tried to protect yourself from the animal. The fact is that dogs you don't know are unknown factors. Never forget that. Make sure their handlers know that they will be held responsible. You will fuck them up if their dog attacks you.

The whole notion of animal cruelty

There is a conspiracy here. It's by those people who want to mind your business, who want to involve themselves in your life. The outsiders with nothing much going on, who have few things to do with their time. The dogs are an excuse to do this. If you had kids, they would be an excuse too, possibly with the same set of busybodies, or with another. The minute you get a dog or anything that you are responsible for these people start paying attention. They are everywhere, living their lives watching, waiting for some reason to spring into action, to judge and to attach themselves like a barnacle to another life. They want to see you get ticketed because you did something they don't like. They want you to pay attention to them and their judgment of you, even if it is to hate them. Any attention, for some people, is better than no attention. The culture of pet ownership is a tool to get nosy people involved in your life, a way for them to force themselves upon you.

They are not loyal. Never ever

The dog's plan is to get you to think that you have a companion who will love you unconditionally, who will stick by you to the end. They won't. One day a scientist may genetically engineer such a creature, but as it is, no such animal exists outside of the human imagination. Domestic dogs are like cockroaches. They live with you for the food and the relative safety. Cute, fun cockroaches, but they, like the cockroach are parasites with unclean habits. We are used to them, and there have been times in the past where they were absolutely necessary partners, but now it's all one-sided, all about the psychological dependency we have on them. Humans like cute creatures.

Why rich people are evil

They are not human

Everybody on the planet who is not rich has a bunch of things in common: the necessity of work, of effort, of not getting to spend your time how you want. They know that they are a mistake away from not being able to pay their rent or to buy food. Everybody who is not rich can see a point where their lives fail financially and they wind up in drastically worse circumstances. Life is seen through that lens, through the constant pressure, the knowledge that there are bad things around the corner. Everybody has that in common. It makes people stressed out, it makes them do stupid things, distracts them while driving in to work, makes them smoke, hesitate, feel depressed. The rich, being separated from any realistic possibility of immediate poverty, are not subject to what the rest of us are. They are not human in the same way that we all are. They face different consequences for mistakes, have different things to fear, and are not capable of truly having empathy for the rest of us.

Sure some of them grew up poor, but those do their best to put the memories of that part of their lives away. It is easy, they have lots of cool things to distract them now and such memories serve no purpose in the country club.

Everybody kisses their ass

Lots of poorer people have inferiority complexes. Do you think most of those teabag people fighting to protect the wealth of the rich are themselves rich? No, they are not. They want to be counted among the affluent and they want the good will of the affluent, but many of them are poor, recruited from the trailer parks and low-rent retirement villages. Rich people, purely by virtue of having money will be able to call on an army of non-wealthy people who adore them. It's like being an earthly god. When people prostrate themselves before you the natural instinct is to walk on them, to use them, to treat them as disposable tools to carry out your will. If you are surrounded by willing, eager lackeys everyday, even if it is because you hired them, then it's easy to think that you are superior.

They are afraid

Of losing their money. All that anxiety that poor people have about money, not being able to pay a bill or becoming poorer, would be switched to panic about losing money, all of it or enough to affect their quality of life, or being robbed, or being screwed/hurt/betrayed by some poor person who envies you. They think that everybody poorer than them wants their money. Not simply to be as wealthy, but their money, like poor people are all on a personal vendetta, a mission. When around the poor they see themselves as being envied, surrounded by enemies who want to take what they have. People who are afraid make irrational and selfish decisions. Their object is to put as great a distance between themselves and poverty as is possible, to escape the danger, or to fight it, to kill rather than be killed. They cannot help but be the enemy of everybody who is poorer than them.

It's not possible to earn that much money

There is no way you can earn enough to be significantly more wealthy than anybody else. If you have or have ever had a job then you know that hard work alone will not make anybody wealthy. Nobody's ideas or effort are really that much more innately valuable than that of their peers. You can, however, use your abilities to steal that much money. The amount of money you can take surreptitiously, or trick people into giving you is limitless. You can set up a society to run on a moral framework that makes certain kinds of theft legal, you can learn how to get people to work for you at a drastically discounted rate. Rich people are all, by virtue of the fact that they are wealthy, thieves, predators. They have found a way to use a loophole, or the stupidity of those around them, to accumulate wealth for themselves.

Why cars are evil

They move quickly

Are humans really meant to go at 80 miles an hour? Why? What great benefit does it provide to humanity to be able to move faster than we or our riding-animals can walk? Beyond making people impatient, expecting everything in life to move rapidly, there is nothing that makes sense about it. At fast speeds people have less time to contemplate life therefore they think less deeply, have less of an understanding of the world around them, and are less comfortable in it. You know those times when you enter into some enterprise without planning and, as a result, you screw it up? Well, that's most people and their lives as a result of the short commute to work.

They are made of hard materials

Harder than flesh, meaning that you are driving around in a machine the parts of which can cause severe injury to you if you make a tiny error, hesitate for a fraction of a second, or get distracted. You are bag of jelly encased in a hard shell, moving at high speeds around other people in hard shells, any of whom can suddenly slam into your shell, breaking it and killing you. It's like playing catch with a steel box containing eggs. It can work until somebody drops it and somebody will drop it. The fact that you spend a significant portion of your life in a mobile deathtrap makes you forget the significance of death. Without an appreciation of the significance and closeness of your demise you are unable to truly appreciate life.

Materialistic people love them

Materialistic people love things that serve no practical purpose and serve only to illustrate a person's status in their community. Cars are good for this since they are usually not absolutely necessary, are more about comfort and prestige than anything else. Materialists love jewelry and fashion and brand names, because these things are purely worthless. If you can spend money on something that has no value then you must have a lot of money. More money than those who buy only necessities. If you have a lot of money you must have value to somebody or made some good decisions thus signifying that you are cooler than those without.

Pollution

Obviously there is the kind that comes from the car's respiration/digestive system, that kind gets a lot of press, but there are other kinds as well. There is the noise factor. Many cars are noisy. They even come with horns just in case the engines aren't noisy enough to alert people to their presence. They threaten pedestrians and cyclist with death constantly making life for those who walk or pedal about their daily business stressful, that stress is then acted out at work or at home, something you could call "emotional pollution". The bicycle rider and the pedestrian are at the mercy of the man encased in his speeding metal box and capable of plowing through flesh with little immediate consequence to himself. You could call this last phenomenon "danger pollution".

Enable laziness

The more comfortable you are with your car the less comfortable you are with walking. The less comfortable you are with walking, the most basic and simple of all physical exercise, the less comfortable you are with effort. Any kind of effort. You get to where nothing in life feels right but sitting slack-jawed in front of a monitor or TV screen. Even getting up and frying yourself a grilled cheese sandwich makes you feel harried by life's painful requirements. Eventually you just plant the griddle right by your armchair and get your groceries delivered to the house. It all starts with the car. Your high cholesterol, your obesity epidemics, your addiction to crap food.

Kind of stupid

You spend a sizable chunk of your income in order to get a vehicle so that you can go to work. That's what it's for, mostly. The miles and the gas are spent getting to a location where you can earn money for them. You don't walk or ride a bike because it's hard and you would be sweaty, you don't take a bus because there are other people on the bus and sometimes you have to stand and that's hard, and having a car shows that you have achieved a kind of status. You are better than other people. You can gloat as you drive to your job that you need so that they won't take your car back.

Replaced the horse

What is a horse? Friend, lover, confidante of the cowboy and cowgirl. Back in the day the man who traversed long distances needed a companion, was joined to nature, now he rapes nature for the materials to build his automobile. You needed no roads for horses. They could traverse the pristine plain and leave it the way they found it. The unnatural car has usurped the noble horse the way one day all the jobs that stupid people do will be performed by robots. The car has separated man from his organic roots, the roots that held him in close contact with planet earth. He has lost his way and the dashboard GPS will not help him find it again.

Why children are evil

They are ignorant

About everything. This includes any notion of right or wrong. For much of childhood human beings are profoundly self-serving, making them akin to sociopaths. Nobody else truly exists to them, notions of compassion are really just learned behaviors, things that they show to get a positive response from their parents. What you have in a child is somebody with no kind of ethic of any kind, a blank slate that is motivated only by the most basic human urges. Their are naturally thieves, and murderers and destroyers, they would pillage and destroy if they had the means. There is the myth that children are somehow "innocent", implying a kind of pristine goodness, untouched by the world's evils, which, of course, is bullshit. They carry the seeds of the evils inside them, but the myth of innocence gives them lots of room to get away with malice and brutality under the guise of "childish behavior".

They are ignorant (2)

Think of all the mistakes you have made, the worthless detours your life has taken, the people you have hurt, justly and unjustly, the money you have wasted, and realize that all of that could probably have been avoided had your dad had the good sense to pull out. Also recognize that if you are of average intelligence then half of the kids you know will make worse mistakes than you did. The other half will know how to use and manipulate and deceive people like you as well as the dumber ones.

Their parents think they are awesome

When they are not. You know those noisy kids in Wal-Mart that beg to have the shit slapped out of them by strange men? Well, their parents know that they are noisy, but they think that's awesome, they don't get how you could possibly think that their kids are not beautiful and cute and full of joy. They let them run wild and annoy you because they see their offspring as advertisements, those kids are billboards meant to show you what good parents they have. Look at how healthy and social well-adjusted my kids are, that's why they are so noisy and destructive, because we raise them right. Children raised in this kind of environment cannot help being shitty, they don't even know what boundaries are let alone how to respect them. They will inevitably grow into shitty adults.

They are a burden on everybody

Somebody else's decision to add to the population for self reasons to do with ego will cause you to have to avoid kids darting randomly across the street, drive slowly in school zones on the way to work, wash egg off your car, and have awkward conversation in waiting-rooms. You turn on your TV and much of the programming is tailored to them, censored so as not to cause their frail little temperaments any trauma. One of the older kids who don't know how to drive or handle liquor will likely crash into your car killing or crippling you at some point. Offer so much as a dirty look to one of them and you will be hauled off to jail to the loud cheers of every parent on the planet. You will have to pay for the deliveries of countless children due the the fact that their parents are poor and cannot afford the delivery let alone the cost of raising a youth. Merely not-breeding will not save you from having to deal with other people's womb-feces.

Too many of them

Seriously, there are schools everywhere and even in the first world there are apparently not enough to handle the massive vaginal outflow. Does the world really need more of them? Only those without foresight or imagination consciously decide that they want to have children and after thinking actually do it. Those are the people who are having children, and that means they will breed until something forces them to stop. Children in an overpopulated world become a phenomenon akin to a cockroach infestation, parasitic and gross.

Why bloggers are evil

They have the desire to write

Which is more an affliction than anything else. It's like the desire to carve wood but without the practicality of carpentry, and without the limited nature of visual art to help define it. Wanting to write signals a lack of poor priorities and a belief that people are interested in reading stuff, generally. They like reading stuff if it's by their favorite writer, like Dan Brown or Stephenie Meyers, but not generally. Nobody reads widely or experiments with books anymore. They try something because their friends recommend it (and the friends all like JK Rowling so that has to be taken seriously). So it involves flying off on a futile quest, which is like masturbation but without the relief of an orgasm. The person who starts out writing anything for pleasure is doomed to a life of discovering that very few people are actually interested, and if they are interested, it is only be because they missed the point entirely. You feel contempt for the people who don't like your work, contempt for the people who don't get but think they like it, and contempt for yourself since you are nowhere near as good as the people you read. It is a burden. When you are young you wonder if you really love writing or if you are just telling yourself that you do. When you get older you find that you really do love it, and that it's a worthless, thankless thing to love especially when you have no talent, and, usually, even when you do. The bitterness and asocial contempt fester till you go crazy, or become a drunk, or kill yourself or all three. It's a solitary job that takes time. You spend that time tapping away at a keyboard and you lose your ability to enjoy human interaction.

It's a cutthroat business

Is it possible to make money? Sure. Possible. If you are brilliant, prolific and have the right contacts you will almost certainly make about 30 dollars a month. Everybody else can count on less. You are competing with everybody who has Internet access and time on their hands. Sooner or later everybody tries to put something out there and all of them think that what they have written is better than what you have written. Then you have the million or so people who are not even trying to put out quality work, they are just putting out enough stuff that by sheer quantity alone they will make money. They are aware that quality writing on the Internet means nothing since people don't surf to be be enlightened or delighted by thoughtful and elegant prose, that the only important thing is to voice a sufficiently popular set of beliefs in a way that can be easily read by somebody who is not concentrating or focused. In other words, you throw the simpleminded shit out there and hope it goes viral. It involves catering to idiots and bringing the level of discourse down. For the blogger to succeed on an Internet full of Bloggers he has to become louder and dumber and steal more content and preach harder to the choirs.

It's not "real" writing

"Real writing" is the kind of writing that is shown to an editor before publication so that he can fuck it up before publication. That publication will be his favor to the pathetic little scribbler. The job of an editor is to lobotomize complex tracts till ordinary people can understand them. Because blogs are not edited by somebody titled "editor" before publication they all get tarred with the brush of "diary". Diary-writing is the most worthless kind of writing there is because the only thing you write about is the boring shit you do and nobody ever sees it so you don't work that hard. This is the perception of blogs. You don't get proofread by anybody else so it has to be self-indulgent shit with no real value to anybody but you. This is an error people make who don't read widely or thoroughly, who don't think obsessively about books and the task of authoring. It's the perception of people with no ideas about writing at all. If they knew anything about literature they would realize that almost all of it is self-indulgent shit with no real value to anybody but the author. When you read a novel you are reading a transcript somebody else's masturbation session. That's why writers write. Nobody goes out and types 20,000 words for your benefit. It would be tedious beyond belief. No, they do it because they get a kick out of doing it and they know that afterwards they can sell the cum-rag to you. All writing is jerking off but only the bloggers/diarists get accused of it. It's like being singled out for a crime when all you were is an accomplice. If you blog long enough you get a chip on your shoulder, you get bitter and resentful of pricks who think they are better than you because trees died for their words.

Self-promotion

This is, of course, assuming that you want to be read by other people. If you do then you will spend 10% of your time writing your content, and then the rest pimping it out to the world. You will comment flatteringly on other people's blogs, and hope they vote your shit up on social bookmarking sites, which they probably won't unless they think it's not as good as theirs. Tip for new bloggers: always have ungrammatical sentences and typos in your work so as to put the insecure at ease. The "blogosphere" is like high school, you don't want to be too smart or too pretty until you are in control of your own clique. You appear to be too good and you will be a threat. You will acquire enemies without even knowing it. You have to kiss ass insincerely, pretending to be amused by some mommy-blogger's rant on some banal shit just because she has a high search engine ranking and a ton of subscribers. Like I pointed out before, high school. You have to be insincere, mercenary and ruthless to be popular because there is no other measure of success online. As with real life high school, most of the time it doesn't really ever work. You don't get popular, you don't get your own clique, and you just learn to be a douche with none of the payoff.

Blogging For Dummies (by Somewhat Frank)

America

The Internet is "American" to a large extent. There are other people on it, of course, but if they speak English they will eventually become "American" too. If you speak English and you spend a lot of time online you will come across content that is mostly American written in American English or spoken with American accents. You start getting used to, and then actually enjoying American content just because there is so much of it. If you live in Nairobi and "get" Stephen Colbert, then I am talking about you. Also, the Internet is set up for Americans to spend money online. There are more of them, and once upon a time it was the prevailing idea that they had more money to spend. If you want to make money as a Blogger, you have to cater to Americans. This will ensure that you also get a sizable chunk of everybody else seeing that they are mostly familiar and comfortable with American content as well. The problem is that there are a lot of people in the world who don't speak English and many of them have Internet access. There are even more who don't speak or write good English. How are they supposed to make money here? This is where much of your spam comes from. Quirky photo-blogs with stolen images, and blatant spam. They are quite happy pissing in the Yankee water that they won't have to drink. They resent a network dominated by a language that they don't speak, a network that makes them feel like aliens even when they surf from their own country. This doesn't exempt American bloggers as they tend narcissistic to the point of being completely ignorant of anything beyond their America-centric pool of interests.

Why prostitutes are evil

The guys they encounter

Understand that the guys who go looking to break the law and pay for sex tend to be desperate. Desperate and horny and under the power of a compulsion. They are not smart enough to see that it, meaning soliciting sex from a whore, is a tawdry act that does not reflect well on them. So desperate, horny, and dumb, pretty much the worst aspects of the human condition. Spend enough time around these guys and you get to have a pretty grim outlook, not just on the male sex but on those women out there who like the male sex, who marry them and procreate, who fuck them without up-front money.

They don't do it because they want to

Which means they are bitter. People who do something consciously hating it are only slightly less evil than the people who have deceived themselves into pretending that they enjoy it. They grow to hate everything that enables them in their sordid degrading lives including themselves, only in most cases it gets repressed, held down by a layer of excuses and rationalization. It can't come out as open hatred of the men who use them and the women who made better choices and have better lives, if it did they would have no clients and nobody to pity and try to rescue them. Held down and covered up and seeking a way to manifest itself, the hatred sneaks out in violence to children, occasionally to the men in their lives, but mostly to themselves.

Disease vectors

They know that at any given time they are probably infected with something, they also know that you want what they have and will go for it whether or not you have doubts about their health. There is no reason to try to protect the john if they already have something. It's all about them making their money. It's like the drug dealer who knows that his product might be tainted or worthless. You still sell it because people will buy, because they are slaves.

They are not attractive

Mostly what people call attractive in the industry is the kind of plain girl who, with make-up can be pushed over the edge of 5 and become a 6 or a 7. Oh, yes, and if you are in America you will want her to be thin. 6 or 7 with a petite body on an ordinary chick is 9 or 10 in hooker-land, and those are rare. Those 9s and 10s get treated like the hot commodity they are, reserved for men with big money. Really, what most look like are homeless chicks with cleaner clothes, or women you see in an ER at 3am holding a sick kid. They look like people who have not had a whole lot of breaks given to them by life and know it that there will not be many forthcoming. People who were not pretty to begin with and who have been disfigured by hardship.Ugly people get treated unfairly in life and usually resent it. There is not a whole lot that displays the unfairness of life more clearly than giving blowjobs to city-workers for the price of a meal. That old joke: "beauty is skin-deep but ugly goes right to the bone"? True. By age 30 most have developed a set of nasty mechanisms to defend them from the judgment and abuse of others.

They get objectified for money

You pay a prostitute so that you can look at her as a sex object, for the use of her body. You are purchasing the right, for a time, to view her purely in terms of something that gives you pleasure, not as an equal. This is like paying a black person for the right to call them a slur and to get them to pick your cotton for a weekend in your plantation theme-park. Apart from the fact that the men who do it are assholes by definition, the women who do it have to be angry. Being used as a masturbatory implement might be fine for sheep and Fleshlights, but when it comes to real human beings there has to be some kind of effect, some kind of rage that gets held down by the desire to make some money.

Usually drug fiends

People who are addicted to stuff are never good people, whether it is food, cigarettes, TV, or work. Deep down, behind everything they do there is the knowledge that they are ruining their futures, and that everybody around them knows it too, and nobody cares. If somebody is willing to destroy themselves, one vial of crack at a time, they are probably more than happy to destroy your life. If they have to suffer, why should you be happy?

Competition

There is no place where there is just one hooker to be found. Where there is one, there are always several more. They are wherever the johns go looking for sex and, in America, wherever the cops don't patrol too regularly. People who have to compete for something good aren't usually very nice to each other, but when it comes to competing for a distasteful, illegal task for a little bit of money, there is a lot of bitterness and projected self-loathing added to the mix.

Victims

Of what society does to their race, their gender, of an abusive parent or parents, of an ex-boyfriend, of poverty, of drug-dealers, of teachers who just didn't understand. Of course, this is usually right, they are victims. Life has been unfair. Legitimate and illegitimate victims are together in their self-pity, in their belief that that life is somehow conspiring to destroy them when it isn't, it's conspiring to destroy everybody. Victimhood becomes their identity, it's the only way they can see themselves and relate to the world around them. How can you not hate a world that you think is actively trying to bring about your demise? How can you not take every opportunity for revenge that comes your way?

Artificially high opinion of their goods

Because money is the most important thing in the life of any addict, and because men are willing to pay for the use of their genitals, they usually have an oddly high opinion of their personal appeal. Part of it is bullshit spiel, part of it is the last little bit of self-respect that they can summon up. If a hooker thinks that you are a potential customer she will have all kinds of wonderful things to say about her vagina, which will be completely unlike any other vagina on planet Earth. It will be magical and the source of many pleasures that have to be felt to be understood. All of this is a lie. They are misrepresenting a product in order to take your money. What's more evil than that?
