Quotes from the wise

As I was writing my column, I began to delve into multiple topics. I just couldn’t seem to stay focused. I have so many things on my mind that really are so simple and clear that they only require a sentence or two. Hopefully, everyone will disagree with one of these thoughts because in my opinion there is one that is offensive for each so-called sensibility that we all hold. So without further-a-do, I give you the rambling thoughts of a self-proclaimed libertarian college student:
1. “Leftists hate Sarah Palin so much that she could read the “Communist Manifesto” to a group of true Marxists and they would disagree with every word.”
2. “Sometimes people just can’t be helped and the right thing to do is to leave them behind.”
3. “If people believe that nobody is going to help them, then they will suck it up and help themselves.”
4. “Some people deserve the bad things in their lives; most people deserve the good things in their lives.”
5. “Smile when people are rude to you. You just helped them vent a little.”
6. “Babies are awesome. So are dogs.”
7. “True capitalism is people helping people and it is the fairest system ever devised. Some assholes just screw it up for the rest of us.”
8. “The hippies got a lot of things right.”
9. “If it doesn’t directly affect you then shut up.”
10. “Most leaders of the big three religions have lost touch with reality, spirituality, and God.”
11. “God does exist.”
12. “If everyone denies that racism and sexism exist, then wouldn’t they go away? The problems they create are external manifestations of inward depraved thoughts. Denying that they exist would prohibit the outward expressions, therefore ending the problem. Most people who dredge up the isms with “awareness” programs are just trying to profit from a dying issue.”
13. “Don’t ask don’t tell should be expanded to include heterosexuals as well. Battlefields and bases are no place for talks about anyone’s sexual preference.”
Did I make anyone mad? I hope so! If you would like to respond then please email voice@gsc.edu and put “Ben’s Quotes” in the subject line.
