Don't be stupid

My last post was angry in nature. Yes, it was angry. But I shall not apologize to anyone for it. Stupidity pisses me off, because that stupidity affects other people. I have always been a firm believer of ultimate judgement by our Maker. As such, I have no problems at all with what some people perceive as "wrong". I mean, if a person does something wrong, then that is between him or herself and Allah. To me, mere mortals have no business trying to police everyone else, just like no one nation should try to be the "superpolice" of the whole world. So, whatever the hell that you choose to do, it's your business. Yes, it's your business, PROVIDED whatever you do does not adversely affect other living things. By that, I mean you can do whatever you want, as long as other people or animals or plants are not harmed, threatened, hurt, damaged, killed or anything else which is undesirable. As such, if you want to jump off a building or cross the path of a speeding train or try to down a gallon of weedkiller, go ahead. As long as there are no grieving wives or husbands or children or parents or friends that you leave in your wake. You can go ahead and have promiscuous sex with a gazillion women, as long as you don't hurt their feelings. You can go ahead and steal a billion bucks from a bank, as long as nobody has to suffer elevated theft insurance premiums after that. And yes, you can walk around in Alamanda during office hours, proudly portraying your ID tags or nametags, AS LONG AS THE PUBLIC DOES NOT THINK LOWLY OF CIVIL SERVANTS FOR YOUR ACTIONS.

So, you see, you can do whatever stupid things you want. But don't drag others down with your stupidity.
