Why Society is ignorant about Avatar.


This is horse shit. via yahoo's front fucking page

"Strange as it may seem for a film that pits greedy, immoral humans against noble denizens of a faraway moon, "Avatar" is being criticized by a small but vocal group of people who allege it contains racist themes — the white hero once again saving the primitive natives."

WOW. They missed the real meat of the movie. An epic story trying to determine if high technology is more important to maintain a society, one based on finance, than living at one with nature, and creating a society based on helping each other. a tribe. this is a very strong ode to the ecologically balanced traditions of Native Americans. The "white hero" only helps, he does not literally save them, just inspires their cause.

"Since the film opened to widespread critical acclaim three weeks ago, hundreds of blog posts, newspaper articles, tweets and YouTube videos have said things such as the film is "a fantasy about race told from the point of view of white people" and that it reinforces "the white Messiah fable."

NEWSFLASH>>>

THE FILM MADE NO REFERENCE TO GOD OR RELIGION!!!
(pretty much everything was backed up with some kind of scientific reasoning..)



"The film's writer and director, James Cameron, says the real theme is about respecting others' differences."

James needs only to explain himself in a very simple way. he just wants us to respect and appreciate the natural wonders of life around you! not the material life that society literally enforces on us. (Don't get me wrong, i still like to buy cool shit, i just don't like the fact that your choices are "conform to our society, or we will remove you from it... ie PRISON!!!!".)

These people have to ask

"IS AVATAR RACIST???"


(tip, if you have to ask you're probably a douche.)

IF they really want to shine light on a shitty news story and spark up some controversy they should just go out and say

AVATAR IS RACIST.


GROW SOME FUCKIN BALLS OTHER BLOGS AND "NEWS PEOPLE"! if you guys really have the cahones to post stupid ass questions like that, then you might as well fucking answer it.

"Annalee Newitz writes that "[w]hether Avatar is racist is a matter of debate," but it isn't: the film is racist."

--Please go leave some internet doo doo on this blog.">

(we could have a blog war! oooh i'm giddy like a schoolgirl!!!)


"(Spoiler warning)

It appears I wasn’t the only one to pick up on Avatar’s racist subtext.."

--no unfortunately you weren't.


Another reason why all this is a bunch of horseradish?






THEY'RE FUCKING BLUE.





I'm going to check youtube on something....


yep.... i love the internet, you just think of something.... and...

magic.

On time, out of work. Drug Testing in America.

"bag it."

Drug testing in the workplace is one of the biggest fucking jokes of all time. Companies spend millions of dollars making sure they have a drug free workplace, and in return they just have to spend even more to train the replacement employees.



I have a friend who fell victim to this cruel game.

He worked at a retail store/pharmacy, and he always showed up on time, and more importantly did his job. He had been working there for over a year, and one day the company decided it would be a fantastic morning for a random drug test.

Well, this friend was a good smoking buddy, and without enough time to prepare, (ie: clean the system, i hear Q-Carbo works great), he was forced to submit to random drug testing. There was no way in hell he was passing that test.

When the employer got the results back, they were forced to fire him under company policy. The manager did not want to do it, because like i said, he was one of their best employees. He was fired, but is rehire-able after a period of something like 6 months to a year.

Problem with this is that THE FUCKING ECONOMY IS HORRIBLE, and jobs are a little hard to come by these days. Because of one random drug test, that some faceless rich douchebag in the corporate offices ordered, for these reasons---

-random
-uhh yeah just random

his livelihood was taken away, and for no other reason than a personal choice that had no affect on his job performance.

So these people who promote drug testing must be under the assumption that if you do any kind of drugs (except alcohol, it's perfectly legal to come in hung over) that you---

-must be an endangerment to everyone around you
-must be a bad person
-must be stupid

His manager disagreed with these assumptions (which is why he is rehirable,) so tell me WHY THE FUCK can't he keep his job?!

But i'll tell you who can. This guy. he's a now, former miami beach cop.

"Kill two men in four days under questionable circumstances. Get caught with drugs in your system and suspended from work.

Walk away from it all with $17,242.46.

Not a bad deal, right?"

oh and he's a cop.

I GET IT NOW!

As long as you work to prevent other people's liberties, you get to have more! and fuck, let's give them some money too!



Here's how you can learn about drug testing and your rights.


"pending lawsuits are challenging random workplace drug testing as a violation of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. Additionally, employees and job candidates have sued for random drug testing and won, even though they tested positive. In some cases, they've won simply because employers did not abide by municipal or state workplace drug testing laws. For example, some municipal or state drug testing laws

* Limit discipline for employees who test positive the first time
* Don't allow employers to make job candidates or employees pay for drug testing
* Limit drug testing only to jobs for which workplace or public safety or security is a concern
* Forbid random drug testing


So REMEMBER, if you know you are going to fail your drug test, go study like miami cop Adam Tavss... kill 2 "random" people, take an oath to protect and serve, and in the governments eyes, your pretty much in the clear.
