Blog: God damnit America!
I might as well have a tag for rants. And I KNOW this is my second post today. And that it's also my second rant.
And this also might offend you. More then the other one, which wasn't that offensive.
America, you so silly! All that crazy state-by-state gay marriage laws and corporations being counted as people stuff! Not to mention the great two-party system that is tearing us apart! (But democratically!)
Look, I get it. Corporations hold so much power, ya just couldn't resist being nice to them. Making them count as people. Being nice to them in supreme court. I know, you just don't want to anger the people who could make you bankrupt. I understand.
And as for the whole party system, well, it's the democratic thin to do! It makes perfect sense that the people can choose who's in charge. Really, it does. You can't help if they're arguing is causing big problems for everyone else. And as for getting stuff done? Screw that. When has getting work done ever do anyone any good?
The whole sate system thing is sound too. I mean, you started as states. Why not continue? You would lose so much culture if you just considered them as counties or states. The other kind of state I mean. The one that doesn't act as much like it's own mini-country that's just ruled by America. It really isn't much of a hassle to have each state allow laws like same-sex marriage. The government could declare it in all states, but that would be unpopular! Let's trade human rights for looking good, shall we?

Blog: Being jewish shouldn't free you of nazi accusations. Really.
This has to do with a bit more serious offensive stuff.
You could get offended, though I don't think it's all that offensive. (Though I haven't finished writing it yet. We'll see.)
I can't recall how many times I've heard about someone being accused of being a neo-nazi or anti-jewish, only to have them point out that they have jewish relatives.
That's not a get-out-of-jail-free card. What's worse is that some people believe this. Like, "Hey, he can't be a neo-nazi! His grandmother was Jewish!" That's crazy. A nazi can ignore their Jewish heritige and spout anti-Jewish things. And if they get caught, they can just say they are part Jewish and so the nazi accusations are now null.

"For a long time I was a Jew and I was happy to be a Jew, then I met Susanne Bier [fellow Danish director] and I wasn't so happy. But then I found out I was actually a Nazi. My family was German. That also gave me pleasure. What can I say? I understand Hitler. I sympathize with him a bit."
"I don't mean I'm in favor of World War II and I'm not against Jews, not even Susanne Bier. In fact I'm very much in favor of them. All Jews. Well, Israel is a pain in the ass [pause] ... How can I get out of this sentence? OK, I'm a Nazi."
This might not be the best example, but honestly. These are quotes from Lars Von Trier.
There isn't much else I can write now. How do I follow up a rant like that?
Well, with another quote I guess.
(Later asked about doing a blockbuster) “Yes. We Nazis have a tendency to try to do things on a greater scale. Maybe I could do the Final Solution.”
Oh you. That made absolutely no sense. 'Maybe I could do the final solution?' What? As a film?
Also, this guys seems to think all Germans are nazis. That's just harsh. He says 'Then I found out I was a nazi. My family was German.'
God, I hope this is just an idiotic publicity stunt. That kind of stupidity is just ridiculous.
Also, does that make me a fat, fast-food loving, tall, tulip-growing, vodka drinking nazi? Just because I am American, Ducth, Russian and German by blood? Just a question.
