Chicken Soup with Ray Rice and Roger Goodell...

No American who is civilized enough to have earned the right to complain about terrorism would be caught dead at one of Ray Rice's games.

Chicken Soup with Frank Sinatra...

The Fancyyyy...Whore Schneider,

She spreeeead her legs wider,

Hoping...Prince Steroooid...could pass.

Chssss.  Chssss.  Chssss.  (Cymbals)

With a grunt and a heeeeave,

She pushed haaaard toward her beav',

But Prince Sterooooid emerged...from her ass.

Chssss.  Chssss.  Chssss.  (Cymbals)

Chicken Soup's spree killer thought of the day...

Social climbing sperm dumpsters lavishly reward bullies.

Toadying sycophantic cowards blame bullying on the victim.

Keep up the good work folks.

Chicken Soup with Elliot Rodger...

 

Say Hello to Elliot Rodger

It's common for people to confuse an explanation with an excuse or a defense.  Don't get confused.  It's just an explanation.

Suffering from Aspergers makes it almost impossible to develop social skills, the self confidence and the sense of belonging that social skills provides one with, and the overt signs of self confidence that women are attracted to.

Men who lack self confidence are the male equivalent of women who are homely.  They're just not attractive.  Men who are gushing with self confidence are very attractive to women.  Unfortunately, most women appear to be completely unable to tell the difference between a confident young man and a cocky, violent sociopath like Jared Remy.  Men who enjoy bullying and humiliating socially awkward men like Elliot Rodger appear to be almost irresistible to some women.  This tendency to reward bullies is the real reason he hated women.

In the last couple of decades there's been an increasing number of movies, television shows, and of course, video games where the basic premise is that the world we live in isn't real.  These products are primarily marketed to individuals in their teens and early twenties and have an especially strong appeal to young males who not only don't "fit in" socially but have spent their lives being made to feel powerless by bigger, stronger males.  Elliot Rodger grew up in a world where escapism was never any further away than his fingertips.  Like Adam Lanza and so many others before him, he probably had no difficulty developing a fantasy world where killing those he hated and then taking his own life would simply transport him to another, no doubt more pleasant world.

Bullying and ostracism made him hate just about everyone and allowed him to place no value on human life.

Escapist forms of entertainment like videogames, virtual reality, and the internet allowed him to lose his fear of death.

Firearms allowed him to be much more lethal than he would have been with just his bare hands.  Don't be fooled into believing that the absence of a gun would have saved lives.  He could just as easily have bolted a homemade sword to either side of his vehicle and driven through a crowd of people or rigged up something to spray burning gasoline into a crowded room.

Once again no one appears willing to address the problem of adolescent cruelty.  We're going to see more Elliot Rodgers committing kamikaze type massacres.  

This is not an excuse or a legal defense, but I believe it's pretty close to what was going on in his mind.

Chicken Soup with Jared Remy...

If Americans valued human life, this thing would have been dead or safely locked up in prison many years ago.

Good job assholes...especially this asshole!

Do I look "heartbroken?!!"
Nope.
All of Precious Roid Monkey's victims were other people's kids.  And as we all know, the lives and safety of other people's kids don't matter.

And of course...Jerry and Phoebe Remy who bailed Jared the violent roid monkey out of jail 19 times, and paid all his bills, and provided him with an "allowance" like he was 11 years old, and financed his legal defense, and continue to finance his legal defense are "heartbroken and filled with disgust and remorse" by their son's criminal behavior.

No they're not.  They're simply embarrassed.

Jerry and Phoebe Remy spent a fortune making sure that Jared's victims remained in as much danger and experienced as much terror as possible.  They obviously wanted Jared's victims to understand that the criminal justice system could not protect them from their precious baby roid monkey.

What a couple of sick fucks.

 Jerry and Phoebe Remy's behavior is certainly as disgusting as any other asshole who finances terrorism, but what is far more disgusting is the public's unconditional love and support for the two people who shamelessly enabled Jared Remy's life long violent crime spree...as if the parents of a violent, steroid bloated habitual criminal were taken by surprise when Baby Roid Monkey finally murdered one of his many victims.

After all...isn't violent asshole just another mental illness to be treated by a head shrinker?

Parents often worry about the cost of higher education and for good reason.  Education is expensive.  Jerry and Phoebe Remy spent an undisclosed but no doubt impressive amount of money educating their son Jared about the value of human life and the importance of public safety.

They spent a fortune teaching him that human life has no value and public safety simply did not matter.

No matter what Jared did to his victims, no matter who lived in fear, no matter who was injured, mommy and daddy would be there with a checkbook and a lawyer to protect their precious Baby Roid Monkey from the big, bad justice system.

After all...John Lloyd was just a fat retard, hardly worthy of life when compared to the genetically superior wunderkind of Jerry and Phoebe Remy.  And how dare those women complain?!!  Don't they realize they've got the best there is?!

As always...

No American who is civilized enough to have earned the right to complain about terrorism would be caught dead enriching Jared the raging roid monkey's enablers.  Stay the hell out of his majesty's restaurants and stop listening to his broadcasts.

Chicken Soup with The Best of Chicken Soup...

Human depravity of the kind witnessed in places like Texas Christian University, Steubenville, Maryville, and of course Columbine before the massacre will not be going away anytime soon. I'll never run out of vile people to blog about. And yes...I know The Onion is satire. I included that link because satire is often far more accurate than anything the mainstream media is willing to print. With that in mind, I think it's time to sum up some of the basic elements of why yesterday's victims of community sanctioned cruelty become tomorrow's serial killers, mass murderers, and terrorists.

Whether you're still in school or well into old age or anywhere in between, if you hate bullies then this post is for you. This was my first attempt to systematize the high school and college experience that so many people are familiar with. It's been described as a bit simplistic or sophomoric...and admittedly, it is, but it's also useful to anyone who feels the need to categorize all of the individual social cliques they had to deal with in their teens and early twenties.

This post further systematizes the bullying process. It should remind many readers of specific individuals they were forced to interact with during their adolescence and early adulthood.

This post describes bullying from the victim's point of view and references a case of bullying that occurred almost two years ago. I can find no significant media coverage of the outcome of His Majesty's court case.

For anyone interested in systems analysis, this post is for you.

This post emphasizes the principle of leading by example.

Here I attempted to put loud, obnoxious, and very righteous Americans under a spotlight. One of the political hot buttons I had in mind when writing this was abortion. Imagine how quickly one of those right wing nut cases would arrange for his lilly white, ultra pure, super Christian daughter to quietly get an abortion in a distant city if she were raped by an ugly, drug addicted, black guy.

Distraction from America's real problems is a common method of avoiding any obligation to address them. Terrorists are supposed to be the most evil people in existence...at least...that's what we're told. Yet no one seems anxious to mention the fact that Americans like killing, maiming, and torturing their fellow Americans in numbers that put even the most prolific terrorists to shame.

This post is in honor of all those heroes of resilience who claim to have been bullied and never even thought about killing anyone...Yeah...right.

And finally...this post employs an Orwellian reference to describe the ability to embrace two mutually exclusive beliefs simultaneously.

I hope you've enjoyed the soup.

Chicken Soup with shameless fundraising organizations...

This weblog is mostly about people and institutions that enable abusers, so writing about an organization that on the surface appears to be raising money for a good cause might seem off topic.

It isn't.

Yesterday evening I received a call from a number that my caller I.D. identified as 202-817-XXXX. For obvious legal liability reasons I won't be publishing the entire telephone number. The name that appeared was "Washington, D.C." which coincides with the area code.

I normally don't pick up calls I don't recognize because they're almost always telemarketers, but since the call originated from the capitol city of our glorious empire I took the chance. After I said "hello" there was a several second delay before the caller started speaking. He identified himself as a representative of a veteran's organization I did not recognize and cannot now remember the name of. As he continued with his pitch, I noticed two things:

1) His pitch was very smoothly delivered as if he'd spoken the same words a thousand times without losing his salesman's artificial enthusiasm.

2) Unlike most telemarketer calls there was a complete absence of background noise. Normally one can hear a subdued cacophony of voices all blended together. This caller could have been sitting in a soundproof room.

The caller conjured up terrible images of veterans who fought for our country who are now cold, sick, jobless, homeless, and hungry. He finished his pitch with, "We're asking for a one time tax deductible donation. Can we depend on you?"

Like most people, I don't want to either feel, or appear to others as someone who cannot be depended on. But...unlike many of my fellow Americans who no doubt blindly provided this organization with their credit card number, I am cynical to the bone. I decided to ask a few pertinent questions, "Can you tell me how you got my number and do you have any idea who you're calling?"

After several seconds, the same smooth, practiced voice responded, "I'm sorry. Could you repeat that?"

At this point I knew I was talking to a computer. I decided to ask a really easy question, something anyone raising money for cold, hungry veterans would surely be able to answer accurately, "Can you tell me the name of the President of the United States?"

Again there was a several second delay. "I'm sorry. Could you repeat that?"

I burst out laughing and hung up.

I was pretty disgusted with this call for a number of reasons. There really are war veterans who really are suffering from service related disabilities. Many of them really are unable to find a job or receive the medical care they need. And every career conman on Capitol Hill is proud to be photographed with a veteran or two, preferably veterans who are smiling and wearing uniforms bedecked with medals.

So why are those veterans-in-need having to hire a fund raising organizations to beg for money? Or are these organizations raising money out of the goodness of their heart? And what percentage of the money collected actually finds it way anywhere near a veteran? And why doesn't the fund raising organization hire disabled veterans to man their phone banks? Perhaps computers work cheaper and don't take bathroom breaks? What should the next Timothy McVeigh learn from the fact that America places such a low value on the well being of its disabled veterans? And why have America's corporate lapdogs in Washington, D.C. deferred their responsibility for those veterans to organizations who's only objective is to maximize profits?

Feel free to relay this story to your favorite member of Congress.

Perhaps the person known only as "Completely disgusted by ignorance" could fire off a strong letter to her Congressman.
