Nothing in particular

Well, you know how things are, I have nothing to say. But this time I've decided to say nothing in English, which more or less follows suit with the previous post which talked of something English. Sorry, it's not English, it's Irish, which is a very big difference for the people who live in those countries, but what I meant is that the previous post talked about a place where it's nice and fun to talk in Shakespeare's favorite language. And yes, I do consider that Irish people speak English, only they have a specific accent which makes them ever so difficult to understand but all the more fun.

So now, those buggers which were giving me a hard time because this wasn't a bilingual blog are going to regret that they asked such a stupid question as, "Why do you say it's a bilingual blog ?" Ha ha, tough for you if you don't understand a single word I'm saying. Teach you a f***ing lesson. Sorry about the auto-censorship, but I just realised that kids could visit this website and that one should always pay attention to his language when adressing the whole wide world. Oh, fuck that... But honestly, I don't know if these blogs have some sort of censorship... What would happen if I started making a long list of swear words ? Or if I started publishing Mein Kampf on my blog ? Would I get kicked out ? Who knows ? Well, I probably will soon because I'm going to try and check out their policy on censorship, but anyway, I never really liked Mein Kampf. I have nothing against people wearing yellow stars to identify their religion... Oops, am I not being politically correct ?

Yeah, that's a good thing to talk about: political correctedness. Who chooses what's politically correct or not ? I mean, take this very blog as an example: just about 70% of everything that I write down here is total bullshit, and you can guess that by reading my previeous posts (oh, but you probably don't understand French...). But when I start doing the same about religion or race, people go nuts because you're not supposed to joke about such things. Well, I don't agree. I think we should joke about everything, and if anybody doesn't agree, well he can go visit another blog which is probably more PC than mine. If you do agree, then try checking out a French humorist called Pierre Desproges. Very keen on jews, he was, but he was the person who said in the best of ways that you could, and even should, laugh about everything, but not necessarily with everybody. Whatever... What I meant to say is that the whole concept of bieng PC is fine with me but some people just take the thing to a stupid limit and start accusing everyone of racism, when sometimes, like here, it was just a joke.

Basically, I guess what I'm saying is that some people can't take a joke for what it is any more. Take an example (I think it has been done in a movie but if it hasn't, it ought to) : when you go to the USofA, you get asked some questions at customs, sometimes rather absurd such as, "Are you transporting a bomb ?" What in hell can you answer to that ? Even if you were carrying a bomb, why would you say so ? So it is a silly question. But imagine the cynical answer, "Oh but of course I am. Do you want to see it ?" Well, that would ensure you a ticket back to your country after an amazing stay in an American federal prison and a rough and tough questioning like you thought existed only in movies. So this is my message to all Americans (because, that might not be the only place, but they sure as hell do it a lot) : LIGHTEN UP. Watch more Monty Python. Get a sense of humor. It's not because you have great economics and rule the world that you have to be stupid...

Ah well, the world can't be perfect. (If it was, what would the Americans do ?) So it's time for the closure quotation (which I'll put in French, to make a precise transcript of my book, which should, by now, be getting on everyone's nerves) :
J'ai adoré ce livre sur le pouvoir de la pensée positive, jusqu'au jour où j'ai appris que l'auteur d'étais suicidé. (Nick Job)
