Continuation.. in a sense from my last blog...

It has only been a short time since I last ranted about the double standard nonsense, but after recent events, it's letting me know it's still around. I'm not sure how many of you have this creed in your group of friends, but I know mine do. Anything is funny, and you can be made fun of for anything. That's how it works. Truth be told that there are acceptions, every once in a while, where that attitude has to placed on the shelf. For the most part it teaches us humility, and that if we take things to seriously, we're fucked.
However, some people don't function this way. They feel as though they have every right to make fun of your mistakes and poor desicions, yet take personaly any joke, or dodge anything said about their own social blunders and possible regrets.
So, If it's funny to joke about me driving into a public restaurant, me falling over at band practice, puking on Frankies house and calling Katie "shirley", etc. Then it's damn fine for me to Joke about Your drunken mishaps, Your whoring around (guy or girl), Your idiot moves. The fact is, If you want people to laugh off your jokes, you damn well better laugh off theirs.... as long as your jokes are funny, and they make sense. Trust me, you screw up a joke, your done. The "pink vibrater" mishap taught me that one. Wether I liked it or not, I had to learn this. So many times was I told "I'm only kidding" or "relax, ass." to have those same people suddenly find a steel rod buried in their ass because some one made a funny at their expense.
Look, don't make fun of people about something, if it bothers you when people make fun of you for it. I've invited problems because I ignored this very statement, and become... you guessed it.. a hypocrite. And another little fun fact I learned, Don't expect some one to tell you what's going on in their life if you've repeatedly cut them down for something similar. e.g. ( relationships, drinking, etc.)
You have to expect people to accept imperfections and goofy shit, but how can you ask that if you aren't willing to practice it?

Remember, some of you are going down on each other tonight...

The title is a quote from George Carlin. Since hearing the whole line, which makes fun of double standards, It repeats in my head every day. Here's a massive example of a double standard. It's perefectly ok to call a white person a honkey, cracker, and what's that oth.. oh yeah white devil. But say one God damn thing about a black person, and your the biggest piece of shit on the planet. D.S.'s don't stop there. People have double standards on Driving, family, religion, politics, music, and just about every other aspect of life.

Anything is funny, and if you want to know what some one means, or why they said something, fucking ask them. I remember a few people that were more then happy to make fun of me for driving into a restaurant, but lost it when I made fun of some of they're fucked choices. It's not that I didn't think what happened was funny, it's that I won't tolerate your double standard. Here's a news fuck flash for ya. Sex, and all of it's perverse off-shoots, are fucking funny. And if you don't tell me it's not funny to you, I'm gonna keep joking about it. And if you get all bent and serious, don't turn around a joke about it with other people.

Regardless of whats in the news, or what tragedy happened, don't suddenly think you make up for all your macabre jokes with a serious tone, or a somber address. And realize if you live long enough, you're going to be guilty of this.

Look at some of these steller examples:

How many of these people who banned smoking drink, yet say they're totally concerned about health.

How many people hiss at racial slurs, but are more then willing to use them on other races.

How about all you fucks out there who think every girl, taken married or what have you, is fair game. Yet just looking at your girl friend is cause enough to fight.

People who tailgate, but get mad when another driver hits their brakes.

There are oh so many more to say, and if you know one, post it. Fact is everyone, myself included, is guilty of this. It's those who don't accept it, and actually look at you like you're a piece of shit. You people can kiss that fatest part of my ass.
