Green Room - Week 9 - Day 1
Jul. 20th, 2013 09:46 amThere were eliminations: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/674997.html
There were new topics: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/675235.html
There was a post I read this morning saying that the Trayvon Martin's death wasn't Zimmerman's fault, but rather Obama and the protesters - because they are telling people that they don't have to be responsible and that the law doesn't apply to them... that they don't have to work and that society owes them something... which somehow means that some teenager has to die.
Granted, teenagers pretty much have to die anyway.... who wants them around? But in this particular case? I'm not sure that has anything to do with actual events, and actual facts.
So that's my moral of the day, if you are going to imply that anyone, from any race, nationality, sex, whatnot - ESPECIALLY THE WHATNOT - are "asking for it" because they are "taking from you", you should.. well, you know what you "should do"... and it starts with an F and ends with an "Off" ;)

Date: 2013-07-20 02:07 pm (UTC)In other news, I actually am sitting here and story-vomming the reworked version of Seize the Day and feel vaguely excited about it. Partially because one of the topics for this week triggered my brain turning things over and over. Partially because one of the parts of that book wants to be the piece I write for my Idol entry.
I dunno if I'm ready to write it but it at least sparked me filling in the gaps I had with the changes I recently made? Poor

Date: 2013-07-20 10:03 pm (UTC)Which protestors are these idiots blaming, anyway? If it's the people who are protesting the Zimmerman verdict, then what was Trayvon's crime, violating the Temporal Prime Directive and creating a paradox? Because if the shooting was caused by something that happened in response to the shooting, that's not a sociopolitical theory, that's a Star Trek episode.

Date: 2013-07-21 06:56 am (UTC)Although apparently (I didn't stick around for the explanation, I unfriended them completely. Because relative or not, that was the last straw for me) it was that "those people and their 'the law doesn't apply to me' attitudes who are responsible for things like that happening.
