Subject : AND OTHER THING!!!
Posted Date: : Mar 4, 2007 1:39 AM


I've touched on this before, but since Im in a fucking ranting mood right now.. I'm going to get on it again..

I was having a discussion the other day on the ZONE... under the topic of things that piss you off..

I went on a rant about people who get married before the age of 25 or get married while in the millitary just make me fucking angry and annoyed alot of the time...

The conversation went on and the person I was having it with spoke her peace and I respect her opnion.. as it is hers and what she took from it is perfectly fine..

But for me.. my view on such things just dont sit well with me.

What brought this up was in the last year or so, though either surfing myspace or actually running into these people, a decent amount of people that I knew in High School are already fucking married or have a kid. All of them under the age of 25.

This shit just bugs the fuck out of me because 9/10 these kinds of relationships dont last, and the marriage is just sort of something "GROWN UP" or "COOL" to fucking do. 9/10 of these kinds of relationships usually end in divorce... the kid thing is even worse because now you got a kid who's parents probably wont be around at the same time.. and yes thats a good thing some times, but in the situations where both parents are still in the kid's life, thats not fair to the fucking kid.

The military thing bugs me even more because this day and age, theres not a newscast (not as much anymore because its too depressing to show and dosnt garner ratings and hurts the bush administrations war efforts) were you hear about a solider getting killed in action, and they talk to the widow, and it turns out that they were young, married and had a fucking family.

Thats really fucking shitty.

But you know something, people fucking now these risks but still and go and get married and start a family... and the goverment encourages this shit, as you get paid more if you're married or have a family in the military.. that might work fine for a carrer solider, but not for someone who joined for other oprotunites or had nothing eles to do after highschool...

If I was incharge.. I would make it to where you couldnt get married untill you're service was done... Its a proven fact that people are ballsier when they have nothing to lose, so why would you want you're solider to have the thought in the back of his or her head that if they die in battle that they'll never see their family again? People tend to question their descisions and something like that could get you killed or maimed...

Its just irriating to me..

Maybe because np one takes marriage seriously anymore.. These asshole religous fanatics thump around about the SASCTITY of marriage.. but the fucking divorce rate in the country is at %60. And that being married over 20 years is a fucking landmark now adays... This is why I dont give a fuck if gays get married, because to me, very few take marriage serioulsy any more..

The only time i condone marriage under 25 is if its someone like my friends who recently got married. They're both under 25, but they've been together for 8 years already.. thick and thin, if a relationship has gone on that long already, then yeah, marriage is fine...

I dont know why this kind of thing pisses me off so much... Maybe its the fact that my grandparents have been married for almost 60 years, or the fact that my parents called it quits after 16 years, or the fact that the news and other media focus so much on celeberty relationships and that anyone who dates more than 6 months is almost expected to get married, and divorces are even more widely coverd and common place....

It all just fucking irritates me. I just would like to think that there is some fucking common sense out there. You're early 20's are for exploring the world. Meeting new people learning about life, not settling down right away....

I need to go hit something now...
