.. just disgusted at the world in general and mainly at the British government at the moment.
On the news they were talking about people being held at gunpoint in, Moscow I think it was. There were about 500 people in there. 3 or 4 of them were British. The news people talked for about five minutes about the British people and hardly mentioned the other 496 people being held at gunpoint. These are all *people*. It's bad enough some people feel the need to threaten others, but the ones being threatened are all people, regardless of nationality. Situations like this start when people discriminate like that. Is it that hard to talk about everyone rather than a selected few? I don't know why such a little thing as a news report concentrating on a few people annoyed me so much, but it did.
Then they were showing a helipcopter carrying people to their homes and to work and being warned they were 'flying into dangerous airspace' because that was airspace 'owned' by the U.N. and British and American pilots. How can you *own* airspace? It's air!!! Do they paint their names on it in big bright colours proclaiming 'mine'!!! Does the little kiddy in the playground scream and cry when someone takes his crayon off him? Why do people find it so difficult to just smile and shake hands and settle things pleasantly? Can't people see that by controlling a country they have a resonsibility to the people of the country so that a single insult from them to another world leader could hurt millions of innocent people? Why..... I don't understand. *sighs*
Sorry for ranting, I just can't believe how much a single news program can disillusion me. Sometimes I hate my country and I hate my government because they wade through so much bulls**t that they lose sight of what is important for the people they're *responsible* for. Why is it so difficult to have a government that cares more about the country than making themselves look good? Is there such a thing as an honest, kind politician? (Sorry to any honest, kind politicians out there)
*shakes head* I wonder if I'll have men in black suits coming to carry me off for insulting the government after this. Hah. World peace. Instead of building a Millenium Dome, or having a Space Race or an Arms Race, why can't they have a race to see who can achieve world peace first?
There you go. All I want for Christmas this year is World Peace. You think Santa has that hidden somewhere in his sleigh?
Now I sound like a crazy, ranting person so I have to change subjects. Went shopping bought many clothes for my birthday. Yey. Half an hour ago I was really happy about that. Now it seems kind of trivial. Still, maybe if we were all happy and smiling, that's the first step towards world peace huh?
Jeez, this entry's been so full of rants and depression that I feel worn out. Sorry for going on.
