What I Hate About Capitalsim

 Do you know what I hate about modern society? The fact that it’s not considered acceptable for a man to cry when his mother dies, but it is acceptable for him to cry when Dumbuldore dies.

 I know this might seem strange to you, because it is so ingrained into our society that it’s simply become a fact, and it’s hard to imagine the world any other way. But think about this for a second.

 Your mother. She carried you in her womb for nine months, she suckled you with her own milk, she taught you all the basic things in life, including how to talk, she changed your diapers, she attended to your every need and gave you food and shelter for 18 or more years.

 She dies, and "Oh, well, take it like a man."

Now, a fictional magician dies, and you break out in tears? In public, in front of everyone? And that’s ok?

 

We seriously have got to rearrange our priorities.

This page here is quite possibly the most erotic thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
