Things we should protest against (but don't).

I see protests against wars, gay marriage, putting artificial stuff in our food, abortion, and other issues in society today. While that's all fine and I believe people should have the right to protest (one of the perks of living in America), there are a lot of bigger things lurking in the shadows that do quite a bit more damage than people think. Here are a few issues that actually deserve your attention, and the reasons why.

Shitty parenting

We never protest people being awful parents. People didn't protest against Casey Anthony despite all the overwhelming evidence that she was guilty of something. She was even acquitted. While you morons were off saying gay marriage would wreck society, people were getting away with being shitty parents, and nobody gave a flying fuck about it. Next time you see kids being a nuisance at Wal-Mart and their parents being oblivious to it, you should protest that, not Adam and Steve filing a joint tax return.

The worst thing is that shitty parenting is preventable. Don't know what the fuck you're doing? Don't become a parent. Some of the most incapable people out there all of a sudden believe that they can take responsibility for another human being's life while they don't have their shit together. It's not just a 'MERICA thing, it's pretty much a worldwide phenomenon, but that's for another blog post.

Divorce

Gay marriage opponents/cosmetic Christians (I'm going to call fake Christians "cosmetic Christians" from now on), take note: divorce is actually wrong as said in the Bible:

"I hate divorce" (Malachi 2:16)
"Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Mark 10:9)

There's a lot more, but that would actually require reading the Bible, something that is inconvenient to these cosmetic Christians.

Stupidity

We protest for our schools to stop sucking, but we don't protest stupidity. In fact, we practically embrace stupidity like it was our best friend. We're here asking for our schools to improve, while at the same time watching reality television.

Spoilers on shitty cars

Self-explanatory.

Those are just a few things I can think of that need to be protested against just as much as gay marriage, abortion, war, etc. Add your own.
