I really do enjoy a lot of Franklin quotes. So fitting of the times.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking."
"A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."
"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."

"The Vietnam War was just a bunch of political bullshit. You think anyone at that time gave two fucks about Vietnam? Fuck no. Hell, they still lived in huts and most had no shoes. If it fell to Communism then who would have really gave shit...no one that is who. The idea of it being a Domino was just a outright lie and stupid. I was an enemy in Vietnam and when I came back I was an enemy." Staff Sergeant Jesse Williamson aka Homeless Jesse
"People always wanted know why I did Heroin and Weed for. Let me, tell you why when I was fucking in Vietnam we seen this woman carrying her baby and a goat, and she wanted on board. We sent someone out there and checked her and she was fine, but asked why she wanted to get on the boat. She said she wanted to leave Vietnam and go somewhere else. My officer told her she could only bring one thing on board...so she threw the fucking baby in water and let die. When asked why the fuck she did that for she said because I can always fuck and have another kid, but I need the goat for food. That is why I needed drugs to help me cope."

“Despite our wonders and greatness, we are a society that has experienced so much social regression, so much decadence, in so short a period of time, that in many parts of America we have become the kind of place to which civilized countries used to send missionaries. - quoting William Bennett”
Groups like this are like religions without gods... So basically cults. Don't drink the punch kids.
Hilarious that people still think you have to belong to some sort of group to matter and you can't just be yourself.
LOL South Park hit the nail on the head... In order to not conform you have to conform. This is why we aren't living under the ocean or on Mars yet.

Precisely. The nail that stands out gets hammered, as the expression says. Can't be unique and a part of a society anymore.
Screw that and screw society! I used to stand out for being weird but since weird is the new normal, I am normal... So now I stand out for being weirdly normal.
Yep, being awkward and strange used to be my bread and butter, being totally outcast...now I'm ahead of all of those trends, somehow...fucking posers...
Being considered "normal" in many regards is bad today, like just being true to yourself and all. You need to have some trendy mouthful gender identity crisis and play mental gymnastics on social media while listening to terrible music and agreeing with whatever you are being told to agree with to fit in.
I would rather not fit in though than be a clone or pretend to be someone I am not. I am used to not being "cool" and I am okay with that.
