I REFUSE
Vanity | 7/2/02 | Copperhead61

Posted on 07/02/2002 11:31:30 AM PDT by Copperhead61

Emil Zola wrote an article called I Accuse to protest the unjust conviction and imprisonment of Capt Alfred Dreyfus on Devil's Island. It worked, Dreyfus was not only exonerated but returned to France a hero. I've decided to borrow the idea, tweak it a bit and use it to express without apology my thoughts, opinions and feelings about current events.Its a little something I've called I REFUSE. I invite my fellow Freepers to join in with their own refusisms.

I REFUSE to:

* I refuse to lower myself just to make another person feel better or more comfortable.

*I refuse to inhibit my actions in any manner because of what some 'color coding' shift from yellow to amber!

*I refuse to believe the war against terrorism will be won until the government realizes that the Saudis are the inate backers of these Jehadi causes with their funding and 'spiritual' support.....as well as providing the actual mules (suicide bombers).

*I refuse to believe that Pakistan is an ally of the US.

*I refuse to believe that money is inherently evil, or that it is better to be poor than wealthy.

*I refuse to believe that dogs are better than cats.

*I refuse to believe that most humans are better than cats.

*I refuse to believe that the European right is the same as the American right!

*I refuse to believe that the world was only created 6,000 years ago even when there is evidence to the contrary.

*I refuse to believe those who call me Godless for believing the Earth was created eons ago.

*I refuse to give credence to any claims that life somehow managed to evade the laws of entropy and arose from a single cell, and managed to branch into varied and complex life forms and ecosystemic niches without some sort of 'guidance.'

*I again refuse to believe that in absolute evolution....although i do chose to believe in specific adaptations.

*I refuse to think like everyone else just to be 'politically correct.'

I refuse to stop being an eccentric, egomaniacal, perfectionist, overachiever who thinks extremely highly of himself and always strives to be better than everyone else!

I simply refuse!

I REFUSE:

...to believe that Israel is totally free of blame in the M.E. MESS, and thus, is deserving of financial aid from us.

okay...

I refuse to believe the Jim Robinson is a sadistic, self-centered SOB, who runs his web site like some lunatic, and kicks people off just for the fun of it.

I refuse to believe that I have any more 'right' to be on this site than I do to be in my neighbors house. This is Jim's site and only under his 'authority' am I allowed to remain. If I don't like it - I DO have the right to pack my crap and move on.

I refuse to believe all the crap that I read or hear. The world is one big game of "telephone" and unless I see it with my own damn eyes - I can't be certain of what happened. (I'm talking specifics here NOT things like "a dude was shot")

I refuse to allow whiny-assed, snot faced punks to intimidate me or my family. I don't give a damn who the hell you are, or what flippin "authority" you have - if you try to harm me or my family your gonna have to kill me first.

I refuse to believe that Bill Clinton is anything but a looser. - plain and simple white trash.

I refuse to believe that we "are doing all we can" in anything....

I refuse to believe that the world is a "better place" than it was 50 years ago.

I refuse to believe that anyone I don't know is "looking out for my best interests". BULLSHIT! - they're looking out for their own ass - and nothing more.

I refuse to always be wrong .... except with my wife.
-if a man speaks in the woods, and there's no woman there to hear him...
is he still wrong?

I better stop - I'm having too much fun.

I refuse to have gratuitous sex with retired, one-eyed, overweight, unshaven beauty queens just because they pay me. :-)
