The Devil's Advocate I



Image result for the devil's advocate


Recently I was told that people don't really know where I stand on many issues. They say I play "Devil's Advocate" too much, and its a fair criticism because I do. Why do I do it, because people rarely think and I am trying to get them to actually engage and expand their minds. My true thoughts and feelings can get lost in that process though and I thought I would share a brief simple rundown of my stance on a few things and people. I will of course take all comments and criticisms!

GUNS

ownership = responsibility
responsibility = knowledge, skill, purpose, Owning a Safe!

**Would just like to add "If you live by the sword, you die by the sword"**


DRUGS

Many have medicinal uses (including Marijuana), if your just getting high then JUST SAY NO. Also being hooked on prescription drugs is the same as 'HARD DRUGS' your still a drug addict


ALCOHOL

If you have to drink then you should stop because you have a problem. 
Being drunk all the time is not something to aspire to, be of sober mind.


POLITICS

If 'YOU' the person are defined by your political affiliation then your hooked into the "Matrix". No party is doing "Gods work" or making the world a better place. People have let politics become their religion.


WORK

If you are able then you need to have a job. Work smarter not just harder.


LANGUAGE

Americans should aspire to learn English for everyday use in our society. People should expand their vocabulary and learn other languages as well. As our world becomes more connected it is necessary. Speaking intelligently and respectfully should be preferred over loud and rude,

**Also just because you don't curse it doesn't mean you're a good person or smarter than anyone**


SCIENCE

Cannot solve or explain everything, but can't be wholly discarded because of your religious or political ideology. Fire still burns whether you choose to believe in it or not.


MUSIC

Rap is not crap, but a lot of today's is very generic and overuses cussing and the 'N' word. Country has become pop with a southern sound to it. Bad behavior is encouraged in all forms of music, it is just hidden better in some and more explicit in others. We need to value people that actually know music and play instruments instead of those that just look good. It wouldn't hurt if  more people tried listening to jazz, blues, reggae, classical, and bluegrass. 

**For those that have an expanded music palette don't act snooty about it**


SPORTS

Track & Field is the truest of all sports. It is the ultimate test and expression of our abilities.

A Little Disturbed III

                                                              Lastly there have been some anti-Semitic language used recently by a few black people of prominence. For some of them I must say this is not new and if you go back you will see that they have made similar statements in the past. Even if they actually had some basis for what they have said, it is drawing attention away from the message of police brutality and injustice. I want to unequivocally say that any Antisemitism or Racist language against white people is just as wrong as what they say against black people. People saying and doing such things should not be supported and need to admit their wrong and try to make amends and learn. I did read that Nick Cannon has made efforts to do that, and I pray this helps him grow as a person.      Now I know that ...

THRONES I

In a far away land there was an Empire with a population that was divided on how the society should be run and who should rule them. Because of the division, very distinct groups formed over time. Nearly half wanted to keep with tradition, while an almost identical sized part of the population favored forgetting the past. The first group was called Traditionalist and the second group was called Progressivist. There is a third smaller group, Indies, that see the value in maintaining traditions, but also knows that without progress there will be stagnation, which has been the downfall of many Empires.       For a long time the Empire had been the unchallenged power of their world, but in the last few decades that preeminence was slipping. It was a time of peril for the land as crops did not produce as they had before. Many lost their farms and homes and had to beg for help so they would not perish. A seemingly never ending war...

A Little Disturbed I

                                 So I have seen a few things in recent days that disturbed me, and felt a need to post about it. Truthfully I probably see things everyday that disturb me, but something this week has made me want to write about it. I want to just quickly go over these couple of things that have stood out to me. So first off there was a march in New York City put together by clergy from various faiths and denominations, to call for peace. Alongside the clergy, blue lives matter joined in the march. The NYPD at some point joined to protect the marchers. People from Antifa or some anti-police element tried to block the march because of the pro police element. This resulted in clashes and some were arrested. So I have some issues with how things got to this point and the police potentially co-opting a neutral event to further their side's message, but what disturbed me is a particular scene....
