THOU SHALT NOT MAKE GENERALIZED COMMENTS ABOUT AN ENTIRE GENDER.
This is so shitty to do. And, okay, I'm not talking about a simple comment of "Men are annoying" or "Women are bad drivers." I mean if you have some whole thesis or theory about the other gender that you try and push onto other people all the time. If you like write articles about it or preach about it or try and convince other people it's the truth.
We all have these ideas of course. But that doesn't mean we need to promote them. Deep down we might believe them, but deep down we also should realize we're all bias fuckers and it probably isn't true.
These things get out of hand. Just in the last week, the internet and it's various denizens have informed me that women:
- can't be funny.
- don't have bowel movements.
- can't do math.
- are incapable of having deep conversations.
- become increasingly desperate for marriage as they get older.
- don't read scifi.
Well HOLY FUCKING HOZZIBOB!! I'm so glad someone clarified all this stuff to me that happens or doesn't happened based on the fact that I have a cooter! Awesome.
Anyway, punishments would vary and be deeply and ironically cruel. For instance, I think people who promote this idea that women aren't funny should be punished by having women tell very devastating jokes about said people whenever they're around. Yes, that would be lovely.
THOU SHALT NOT BE A SNOT ABOUT ACTIONS TAKEN BY OTHERS WHEN SAID OTHERS ARE DOING SAID ACTIONS OUT OF KINDNESS.
People aren't always assholes. Sometimes, people are actually passionate and kind. During these times, people do things like Race for the Cure or raise money for local people who need help or send letters to soldiers or donate to silent auctions. They may drop someone a line to brighten their day or bring someone a cake or flowers.
Okay, sometimes when people do these things, they may be calling attention to themselves or doing it because they have to, like by a court order, or because they want to be a superior asshole. I won't deny this doesn't happen.
However, we shouldn't assume this is the reason. We shouldn't sneer and snarl whenever someone decides to do something kind. We shouldn't question their motives or speculate to what level of personal orgasm this is bringing them to. In fact, even if their motives are impure, if it still does positive things for people, who the fuck cares?
I think punishment for this will involve no one doing helpful things for you until you get over yourself.
WHEN IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMPLETE SOMETHING IN A TIMELY FASHION THAT WILL BE TO THE BETTERMENT OF MANY, THOU SHALT NOT DRAG THINE FEET OR ASS JUST TO BE A THORN IN SAID PROCESS.
Look, I realize how important it is to be looked upon. I realize how great it is to feel like you hold all the power. But if you're purposefully fucking something up just to keep the focus on you or to cause someone else pain, stop it! That's damned wrong and very shitty.
Not only does this hurt others, it also hurts you. Quite often, whatever this thing is that needs to happen, even if you don't want to believe it, it will be better for you as well. Even if it's something like ending a relationship or moving out of a situation.
Now, I'm not talking about something where you have to do everything and other people might benefit from all of your work. That's bullshit. This isn't "Oh, how about you go get a great degree and a good job so you can support us!!" This is more like, "it's time for things to change. I've done my part, you do yours."
Punishment for this sin would involve the other people getting to reap the benefits of the situation you kept dragassing on and you would get to watch them be happy while they ignored you.
Okay, so just three sins and punishments this time, but very worth it. Have a good Labor Day, everyone.
