The Windmills are Coming! The Windmills are Coming!

I do ponder how many people actually read this, at least the "Waterdeep" crowd, of course I see my other-world family is always peering about *waves* Birdman, Bat, Dog, Cat, Alien, Seal and ummm, Dolt. Cause I know not all of these posts would be found interesting, such as my ravings on the I-98 that they want to build, or of course Hillary Clinton cock-blocking things that would bring jobs to this part of NY. And video game violence, I mean holy shit it seems Grand Theft Auto has caused a massive uproar, PatrickW the person who unlocked the nudity and started this must be one proud mother-fucker, I frequent the GTAFORUMS.COM board and he's a major player, and I know he has gotten both good and bad e-mails for this. He gets a gold star from me, not because I'm into the whole cheesy pixel nipples and such like all the drooling 14 year olds who play the game are into...he unlocked it cause it was a feature removed from the game, and anyone who starts such noise, wish I could, but that'd involve me, a tanker truck and a school bus full of elementary children.

But its kind of weird when you are against something, and more or less going about it ignorant. My little redneck valley always has something to talk about, you gotta or else you will go CRAZY. The newspaper contains no news, our local news which is like "Seniorama" as old folks dance around an indian bingo parlor, or my favorite, the PUBLIC RECORD which if you get any kind of involvement with the police, and I do mean anything, you're name is in the paper explaining why. Most newspapers this section would be full of criminals, but in our paper its all about who had the broken headlight, who was DWIing, who ran the stop sign, I've been in there several times, and as my parents like to say as joke, bringing shame to the family, a family who has lived in this town most of its life and still, the name is unknown. There was only one thing they never wanted to see, Blah and Blah was found with X.X grams of Marjuana, and of course manslaughter. In the past years it has been about the SEAWAY AQUARIUM (Spelling, sorry) which was going to be this big fresh-water aquarium built near the power-dam and all our fancy ass Seaway shit. Half was being paid by the Seaway, half by an organization, oh well 5 years after raising donations the Seaway tells them to go fuck themselves and drops the plan. Nascar wanted to build a race-track here, nothing large, fancy or would be seen on TV, but a Nascar Class Racetrack. Would bring lots of jobs and shit, oh no, no one wants to take the noise. At the moment its building a small powerdam in the downtown area.

To the point, around this area there is also talk of a company building a Power Wind Mill Farm somewhere south of us in the foothills of the mountains. As usually I hear this and go "oh, ok..." cause I really don't care, they are talking about towns south of me, out of my site and not within local driving range. Ain't affecting me, so I don't care. Fun.

Then the signs start to pop up on the road, and remember I drive a truck, so I see the shit every single day. "NO WIND MILLS! - SaveUpstateNY.Com", so of course once again this gets me going. What the fuck is their problem, this entire region is more or less powered by "green" power, we have tons and tons of hydropower dams, nothing else. So they don't want to have these windmills, they'd rather have a nice COAL plant next to their house, yummy.

I go to their website to investigate, and maybe write a letter about what a bunch of assholes they are, kind of like PETA. I read the page, watch some videos, and holy shit if not for once my views were changed, rather than a bigger fire under my ass. Mainly due to aspect I did not realize.

There are a few windmills around here, local, small. The video showed a mountain ridge with like 5 of these fuckers on it, and holy shit they are massive. 389 feet tell, I mean christ almighty, I thought they were these tiny things like solar panels, had to have a billion of them to make things worth a damn. These suckers are just mamoth and yeah, i fully agree now we don't need that shit in this area, green power or not.

There are several aspects of the mills that have been brought up, things I sniggered at but now after the size and such, realize its gotta be true. One is called the "Flicker" effect, which is basically the shadow of the blades crossing over the sun, which as a slow moving fan in the window would, cause a shadow to travel over the area, their size of course, it'd be like the whole town going in and out of shadow at 1 second intervals, aka a strobe light. Well that's fun as a person who has had a seizure once in his life, and I will say the flicking of trees and the sun while driving gives me this funny feeling....(once again, I will die in a tanker truck full of rocket fuel).

Second was the noise, once again I didn't think they'd put off any, all I heard was the "underground" harmonics it gives off, this I only heard the half, which was it fucked up gophers and things that live beneath the dirt. Oh the poor creatures. Third was the "fowl" aspect. Caw-Caw-Caw-THUNK. Those blades spinning around no matter how slow...still a hazard to dumb creatures. This complaint can go fuck itself anyways, I can't count how many birds have perished against my truck, you know how birds love to be suicidal and fly close to you, then at the last minute quickly fly upwards and over your car roof? Now put a 3 foot wall above that, set back so you'd have enough time to say "oh shit.

And the shit doesn't create any jobs really, said 6 towers = 1 person, someone to clean up the birds and make sure the teenagers are not tieing people up to the blades. As for power, well the mother fucking wind needs to be blowing for one thing, otherwise it resorts to a diesel generator backup...hey wow, green power, the power of the dinosaurs.

So all in all thanks to that web site, I am against these things, but once again it has nothing to do with my town, which is at the base of the valley, 50-60 miles from the mountains, and not good for windmills. That and we have a giant hydro dam, and the indians wouldn't like us PUSHING the pollution from our three large industrial factories onto their reservation any faster.

Burn in hell Green Power.

Who The Fuck Is Jack Thompson

I personally like keeping my head tightly tucked between my knees and not really pay attention to the world. Ignorance can be bliss, and well everytime something from the outside world brushes me, it seems to always put me into some sort of RAGE, cause its usually bullshit crap from bullshit people. And I'll admit I pay attention to the world in general, I usually pick the odd stories to chuckle at...

I'm giving 5 to 1 odds that the shuttle explodes on re-entry, sorry guys, heh. I don't believe anyone going to space is a hero, as if you search this archieve you will find a ranting about Columbia and how I didn't feel they were "Heros" in the true nature. But for Dest, I'll pin the medal on them. Why you might ask? Cause they have the balls to get into a 30 year old vehicle (aka a "classic" by automotive and boat terms) and go into space. I hope they do go back, but that shuttle seems like a smoldering pinto on the side of the interstate. Satan bless them..

Back to the point, who the fuck is Jack Thompson and why in my little world would I care about him. Thanks to Scott @ VGCats.Com my world was distorted by yet another jackass of video game violence and how its bad for our kids. I'm reading his web page, or a page about it, StopKill.Com, heh. It claims that Harvard has discovered that violence more or less damage the brain, aka games are nothing more than MURDER STIMULATES that makes you want to KEEL more. Wow, did someone just shit?

And of course like Mortal Kombat & Whatever that Sega-CD Game was, Grand Theft Auto takes the spotlight as the evil video game of the 21st century. Thus, DIRECT QUOTE!! "In this game you have sex with a prostitute and then kill her grotesquely to get your money back and win the game faster. Police officers are set on fire, shotgunned in the face, and innocent pedestrians are run over with cars." Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm not a "gamer" as the term now means someone who does nothing but play video games all day and night when not working or having sex with whores, killing them for their refund. I play like, one or two games every 10 years, back during the Sega Genesis, oh yeah baby, but when it came time to buy my own games, heh, no thank you, too expensive and if I don't like it, damn if Electronics Boutique ain't a pain in the ass for returns.

First off, having sex with the prostitutes and or killing them afterwards was not really part of the main game. It was not a mission or a sub-mission, it was just one of the many random things you could do. As for the burning and shotgun blasts to the face, well yeah, its a violent game. In Vice City though, I mean shotting someone in the head means their head disappeared and a few squirts of blood shot out, body fell down dead. In the latest GTA, San Andreas, heh, its like a melon explodes, a touch more graphical.

Yes people, the video game and others are violent, but as many have ranted on before me, GAMES ARE NOT JUST FOR KIDS, just like people should not be shunnded for eating Fruity Pebbles at my age, I am not the Trix Bunny. But no one is paying attention to where these games are going, Billy age 10 puts Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on his birthday wishlist and Mommy and Daddy who grew up with video games as two lines and a square bouncing back and forth, buys it for Billy. No one is thinking, the guy are the store is just doing his job and I'm sure he isn't all fucking happy and dancing like the Wal-Mart people are on the commericals, I'm sure he's sitting there going "please let this end, someone blow my fucking brains out".

And on the side note for Wal-Mart, I bought the "GTA Classic" collection which has the three older "top down" Nintendo-esq graphics of the old GTA Series, and the bitch wanted to see Identification. When she said it I actually paused for a minute and muttered "what the fuck?", pondering what I bought that could even REQUIRE such a thing. Then its like, Oh yeah, GTA...heh. The funny part is that I don't look young, most people are suprised at how old I am when I tell them my age, thinking I was older. I turn 18, oh fun, I can buy my own smokes. No one cards me. I turn 21 eons ago, oh fun I can buy my own booze. No one cards me. So I could have been buying cigs and booze long before 18.

You know what the fuck the problem is? For that, you can enter the rest of this rant.

Its the one thing no one wants to fucking mention in this country, the one god damn thing that is destroying this country and almost no one is smart enough to catch it, how we are decaying into a world of chaos, kind of like the 60s. With the Chimp in the White House we're getting all sort of nut jobs and religious fanatics jumping forth from every corner of our country. Someone said this Jack Thompson guy is also known as "Wacko Jacko" and from the brief few things I have read, I'll say the name might fit him.

Children are not being parented anymore, parents are not paying enough attention to their kids, kids are being thrown aside as it they are a hobby or something you are forced to do. I'm not saying everyone of course, but a fair amount. Many parents are ignorant, redneckish and just utterly insane. Some parents have no choice.

And if its not the physical part being taken care of, parents are not paying attention to mental development. A teenager should know the right from the wrong, what is evil and good. Some are just rotten apples who will fall into despair, and as the parents, some are just utterly insane.

Some kids should not be allowed to watch certain movies or video games. And if they do a parent should be around to explain that, death means the person never comes back, and hurting people are wrong. Parents are not inserting the morales and values as the religious people always rant about, as they ignore their children to further their cause, and wounder why Billy is cracking their skull open with a sledgehammer.

Compared to most my mind is filled with all sorts of things, regular thoughts and thoughts that are just pure, evil, cruel, and horrid. Everyone gets those thoughts, but I feel I get them more, you know, like how at a crosswalk while people walk across, YOU are the keeper of their lives, you could inflict so much pain and anguish to those innocent people walking across the street by a quick stomp of the gas.

I've used this to expression a kind of odd-psycho exterior, like turning to one of my good friends and saying it would be interesting to peel the skin off that girl's face to see her skull, she was a small girl with a really small head, teenager, and she had no meat on her face, a skullface! But it caught my eye and I said what my brain was thinking.

Now from all that I have read tonight, because I have played GTA and still play it, my Murder Stimulants are going insane! I THIRST FOR BLOOD! No, I don't, why, cause I HAVE ETHICS AND MORALS. Yes I was raised as a catholic and for once, not touched by a priest. The priest we knew was cool in his own way, and sadly was accused of touching, he was given a test and classifed as "A-Sexual" meaning he has no sexuality, which he didn't. He liked to drink but never drunk, was all into his house, decorations, restored churches, came from a family that was big-money at one time so had his own cash to throw around. Sadly the cash was the reason he got kicked out of the church, some drunk who called from a bar phoned in his report. The guy now holds church in a small house, which is illegal for him, but he can't stop the faith.

I believe in the higher power but I don't believe in Jesus, he may or may not existed, I'll only half believe the shit I said, Penn & Teller perform the same miracles all the time. But I believe that the way I was raised and my enviroment accounts for who I am and how I think. I feel that if I was in a different situation growing up, then yes, I'd have a basement full of body parts.

The most recent uproar is with the latest GTA, San Andreas, pushing aside the melon-like exploding heads and cop burning, there is this thing called "HOT COFFEE" which in one aspect of the game in which you date, at the end of the date, your girlfriend asks you if you want to come on in for some coffee, and we all know what that means. Apparently there are scenes of the players getting it on, WITH CLOTHS on so no skin boat to tuna town. But wait....

This feature is NOT available on any of the GTA Games when you buy it from the store. To make the game do this, you are required to download a "MOD" file (game modification, changes things in games if you did not know that) which unlocks the feature. This "Mod" was created by a "hacker" known as PatrickW on the GTAForums.Com web site. This guy is just like you or me, except he knows how to code for the game (thus getting the term hacker slapped on him).

His mod does nothing but unlocks this feature, which was created by Rockstar / Take Two who created the GTA Series but blocked out from the game, I'm sure to get the rating to M instead of AO on the game chart. I don't think Rockstar Games should be held accountable on that, yes maybe they were sneaking shit by, but who is to say what, because it was a 3rd party person who unlocked it, and since the internet is a wounderful land of the true free, nothing should happen. I can't defend against the nut jobs who say the games should be banned to the children.

There is no solution until the parents step in, its their fault for buying it and not looking into it, and its (mostly) their fault for ignoring Billy, with the exception to Parents who are forced to both work a job to maintain a life style that is just above the toilet rim of "decent". I do believe a parent should stay home with its kid, at least one, but I know that just can't really happen in this world. And I know many parents don't want to do that *psst then don't have kids*. I'm for both i guess, but there must be a balance.

So yes, in the end I blame the parents for the most part, but there is just not one situation to point a finger at, life is life, parents try and suceed, parents over do it, and some people shouldn't be allowed to have kids.

There is no point to this, as always its just the shit in my head that I'm expressing, the world is fucked, but Love me some GTA. As for the whole murder stimulants, Penn & Teller ranted about the same thing on their show bullshit. It showed that teenage & child crime, murdering each other and such have actually dropped big time, like better than it has been in the past 30 years. Why? CAUSE THE KIDS ARE PLAYING GAMES INSTEAD OF BEING OUTSIDE NOT BEING WATCHED AND ALLOWED TO RUN ANYWHERE AND DO ANYTHING.

So I don't know Jack Thompson, but from what I've read about him, he sounds like another douche on the barby. And he's a part of the whole Hillary Thing, which she can just go straight to fucking hell, why someone from the south is senator of my state I don't know why, but the cunt promised to pay attention to my economically poor area if elected, and outright ignores us. Go Home you Wench.
