Trayvon Martin (African American, I believe...) was shot to death by a neighborhood watch patrolman on the grounds that he looked like a "questionable character"...
Reason I believe: He was a different race in a gated community.

Yeah, he was African American.
He was hot in Florida, and Reverand Al Sharpton led the rallys! Its really sad. :(

Thats horrible.
I personally think that racist people, sexist people, etc should not be allowed to be policemen or anything like that. It will give them a clouded and biased opinion of things and they're supposed to leave judgement until they have solid evidence.
That man had no reason to shoot him other than the fact that his racist views clouded his judgement.
Which is still not a good enough excuse.
He shouldnt be allowed to be a policeman if he is going to let his opinion cloud his judgement like that. Having people like that in positions of power such as the police is dangerous for this very reason.

Thanks for agreeing with me. Vote me for prime minister! (Jokes. Me being a world leader would kind of be a nightmare...mostly for myself but still...)


Though I DO want to make a difference.

There's this boy I know with aspergers and he gets stereotyped too much. People think because of his disability, he won't mind them picking on him. He does, but he never says.

I want to give him a big hug and tell him he's not alone-I have aspergers syndrome too and I hate it when people pick on me.
Its also really offensive that people seem to think that having some form of autism is the same as being retarded/stupid.
Which my fellow aspies/autists and I are NOT.
Once I saw this animated image that basically made fun of how the name 'aspergers' sounds like 'ass burgers'.
It was really immature and offensive-It was a cartoon image of a butt continuously pooping burgers.
The worst thing was that the guy who posted it didnt seem to think he had done anything wrong! He and a bunch of other scumbags thought it was hilarious.
*Barely controlling rage.*

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
*Preparing the pitch-forks among various other weapons and torture devices.*
We'll show them scumbags.
*Evil-demonic glint in eyes.*


How could that stupid idiot do that! He's a dimwit! He's a dumbo! We'll show him Vya-Kun. It's this stuff that gets me angry. What a dimwit.

And, I repeat, he didnt see ANYTHING wrong with it! He MADE FUN of the people that DID notice just how offensive and horrible it was!
I was so angry I nearly punched my laptop.
A few years ago, when I was still sensitive about being different, I probably would have cried.
And Im pretty sure it has probably sent someone into tears.
Im tough now and I dont see anything wrong with being autistic now so all it did was make me so angry I swear I saw red.

It shocks me how heartless, brainless, oblivious and cruel humans can be sometimes.
If humans are like this then am I really human? Since I am nothing like that (Censored).
I seriously do often have my doubts about the human race sometimes.
When I see all the awful things humans have done in the name of all sorts of ridiculous reasons...

THANK YOU JELLY-CHAN! THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!
I really wish I have a deviant art account. If I did I would have commented also.

I will continue to post comments against this art BTW. I'll report it too, but only after I've got a decent number of people against it, and after I've argued with the creator of this offensive junk.

Good.

I think its a good idea.

I am a Pacifist.
I do not believe
in using any sort of
violence to settle a dispute.
the stereotype with us pacifists
are that we do EVERYTHING right
and we don't get mad at anything.
that gets real annoying because
then you get all of these bone heads
trying to make you mad and begging
for you to hit them.

True that... of course I also taunt people until they hit me... I just won't hit back.

Not true. I wouldn't defend myself even if it meant my own death. My life means nothing to me and compared to my vow it means even less.
