I couldn't resist making a sex joke. Now I feel bad, though. God is probably sitting up in heaven adding me once again to the  "Going to Hell" list after removing me for listening to and enjoying Christian Rock. I worked so hard to get on his good side too. Oh well. I'll be able to pack light. See, kids? This is what happens when you go off to college: you start making sex jokes about Christmas. The supposed birth of Christ. Even though Jesus was actually born sometime in April. I really dislike that the Catholic Church went all capitalist on the birth of Jesus and decided to make it coincide with the birth of Mithra and the winter solstice. It just shows that Catholicism will do anything to be evangelical. It's kind of like the Mormons knocking on your door and bugging you about buying a Bible and accepting Christ into your heart. So really, Christmas is the anniversary of religious perversions. Enjoy your gifts everyone.

I found out today that Christmas became a federal holiday in the 19th century...along the time when Jews first started heading towards the not yet formed Jewish state of Israel in national Palestine. Could there be a correlation? And notice how I say "national" Palestine. You see, kids, you've got the definitions of "state" and "nation" wrong. It happens to all of us. I only got them straight a few weeks ago. So a nation is basically an ethnic group, a group of people tied together based on customs and culture. A state is synonymous with country. So Palestine was, in fact, a nation. Israel is the state that was formed in the UN with the majority of voting countries coming from Western Europe. Almost no Middle Eastern Countries were given a vote since they were all colonized by European countries. Palestinians, the people most affected (and David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, and Menachem Begin were wrong when they stated that there were no such people as Palestinians where Israel was created.) were not even given a vote!!!! Grr. I understand the need for a Jewish state, but the fact that they displaced so many Palestinians is SO wrong. And they did displace them. Not only that, but the fact that it's not a secular state affects all of the Christians and Muslims that weren't kicked out. It's supremacist. Israel's laws make Christians, Muslims, Palestinians in general, out to be second-class citizens. Another thing: the Jewish population that lives there? Yeah...they're almost all of European descent. And their population is steadily decreasing. And the only reason that they have large concentrations of Jews in the state is because they place them all together in pockets that inflate percentages. No joke.
And why is the West allowed to decide the fate of the Palestinians? They believe so much in self-determination yet they gave no vote to the Palestinians as I mentioned earlier in my rant.
And I hate you David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, and Menachem Begin. You have no right to deny the existence of another group's identity.
Like I said before, I support the idea of a Jewish state. I do. It's a necessary safe haven for a people who've been persecuted for most of the people's existence. I truly understand the need. I just have a problem with divvying up a section of land that your people haven't lived in since essentially before the common era. The majority of the Jewish population lived in Europe. In fact, here's an interesting statistic, by 1000CE, 70% of the Jewish population lived in Islamic controlled Spain. Go figure...they're native language was Arabic. Gasp! And it's thanks to Arabs that Hebrew poetry is so damn amazing. Jewish culture adopted the strict meters of Arabic poetry in the same century.
What Europe should have done is sectioned off a portion of Europe for Israel. It made a hell of a lot more sense than giving them a part of land that didn't belong to them. Better yet, talk to Ethiopia, there's a significant population of Jews living there.
Oh here's something interesting about the current state of Israel. All of the areas that are designated as Jewish majorities are places with decent water supplies...Guess how the water supply is for the Palestinians: they got almost entirely barren areas. How's that for Jewish supremacy? Palestinians have truly become a second-class nation.

I'm done with my rant. It just makes me really angry.

Back to Christmas Season:
I figure that it's a good idea to start getting in the spirit since there's a little over a week left until Christmas. So tonight when I got home, I put on the Christmas mix that I made for my Mutti since she loves Christmas. And she loves me. So it's like the perfect thing, she'll love the mix even more than she loves regular Christmas.
