Natural Disasters and Unnatural Idiocy

Maybe I'm just saying this because I grew up with earthquakes rather than hurricanes. But why the fuck don't people get the hell out when they know a hurricane is headed directly at them? "Oh, we'll just board up the windows and ride out the storm...." No. No, you fucktard, get the fuck out of the way cos that storm ain't gonna stop for you!

If I knew an earthquake was coming DAYS in advance, I'd secure my house and then peace the fuck out of LA well before the shaking started.

So unless you've been in lalaland for the past week or whatever, then you'll already know that there's this friggin enormous hurricane headed for Texas right now. The news is saying that people who stay in their normal homes are facing "certain death" and they're telling people to write their social security numbers on their arms in case they need to be identified. Which just makes me angry. There was also footage on the news of people just partying it up at a bar right on the beach, and it's like.....Jeez, I knew Texans were idiots, but this is moronic even by their standards.

Then the Gov came on TV, and the news anchor says something like, "Given all the warnings, why are people still staying?" And the governor was like, "Well, it's a free country."

A free country. I'm fucking sick of that response. Usually people say "It's a free country" when they're justifying something completely moronic. When you're a little kid and you're annoying your friends by singing some obnoxious song over and over again, and they tell you to shut the fuck up, THEN is the time to say, "It's a free country!" But when someone tells you a friggin enormous hurricane is coming your way, you don't say, "It's a free country!" and then party it up on the beach. No. You get the fuck out of the way.


A word of advice: if you have shit for brains, you should not be living in a free country. No. You should be living in a country where they MAKE you do what's best for you, rather than simply suggesting what's best for you. Jesus Christ.



My first week of freshman year, there was a tornado very close to where I was living in the midwest. I remember I came out of the dining hall and noticed that the atmosphere felt very strange. I then realized that I heard sirens. I thought it was air raid sirens, so I looked to the skies......and noticed the sky was green. Oh fuck, thought I. This is not good.
So I ran to a basement and waited for the skies to clear up. Turns out everything was fine, the tornado did not end up being a strong one and it didn't get close enough to us to do damage. But I'd still do the same exact thing over again, because you don't know in advance if everything's going to be okay. Just.... You do not fuck around with Mother Nature. She is a PMS-ing bitch with no sense of humor.


Anyway..... I'm just pissed off. I hate when people do this because now people are probably going to die, and the entire country is going to get all sad, and it's just so fucking frustrating. I was in Israel when I heard about how big this hurricane was going to be, so how the hell did people in Texas not get the message?
Oh well. Hopefully everything will turn out to be fine and hopefully the National Weather Service was just exaggerating.




Okay, this was a little dark, so here's a Sarah Palin name generator:

My name would be "Lean Pipe Palin" if Sarah Palin were my mother.
