note to self, never talk to drunk kato and air about anything. they convinced themselves that no one has to pay taxes anymore, then proceeded to give me advice on my credit card fiasco. their theories are based on a fairly large presumption, that the laws of the united states are there to protect the individual instead of the corporation. i don't believe it, but i don't really care. i don't really put much stock in laws anyways. but seriously guys, this strip club has my number. this is how they make their money. the club we went to vegas is one of the most notoriously shady clubs in the world, you think for a second i am going to be able to get this money back? they have all the paperwork and documentation that says i was there and agreed to pay for the service, while me? i was too drunk to remember what was going on. how do you think my side will hold up in court, ANY COURT. even if i wasn't drunk, they still have me. you guys overestimate the power of the individual.
here's what happend, and here's what i'm going to do. i was very stupid, using my credit card at a strip club. now i know NEVER to do that again. i am going to pay it if my credit card company can't do their fraud protection thing, because i was stupid and i did get myself into a bad situation. you guys seem to think there is a chance that i won't have to pay it in the end. Air, you were THERE. you know what happened, and you know i am fucked. you know because your credit card got declined and that is why we used my fucking card. so fuck it. if you want to help pay, great. like you said, it kind of makes sense. if you want to pay just what you said you would pay to the stripper, still fine with me. if you decide not to pay for the same reasons you decided you shouldn't have to pay taxes last night, that is your perogative. but its bullshit. everything you guys said last night was bullshit, and i hope you know it, because it was really uncomfortable for me.
i'll pay the whole fucking thing and learn my lesson, because i don't believe i have many rights in the eyes of the law. but i don't see myself under the control of their laws, and this is just one more reason for me to think the way i do. laws don't help me, they hinder me. but they are necessary, because without them there would be chaos. i follow the laws for the same reason i pay taxes: so the people in power will leave me the fuck alone. i just don't care. all your liberal jabbering and anti-bush rhetoric doesn't change the fact that i don't trust or connect in any way to the people in power, and i can't be assed to bother myself with whatever the hell they are doing.
i'm living my life. i enjoy what i do. i enjoy smoking weed. i enjoy not having to worry about the government. i enjoy the fact that i feel my view on the state of america is an outsiders opinion. i enjoy the fact that i would let out a whoop of pleasure if Washington ceded from the union. i don't care about liberals or conservatives, they are all fucking bastards in my book. i consider myself liberal, but i try not to say it because of what i would be connecting myself too. i'm a liberal person, but i'm not a liberal, if that makes any sense. if we could feasibly move our entire social group to canada, i'd do it in a heart-beat.
so yeah, you keep jabbering about laws. you keep fighting the good fight. its just going to leave you bitter and disallusioned when you realize that i was right in the end. i may be disallusioned, but i'm so far beyond bitter. i just don't care, and the fact that i can say this makes me happy. lesson learned, case closed. i'll fight this to an acceptable level, but i'm not going to delude myself into thinking i'm going to be able to get out of it. if i could, strip clubs would be out of business, and there would be no credit card fraud. point is, yes i'm getting screwed. yes it is wrong. there is nothing i can do about it, it is just legal thievery. like if you guys declare your landlords house condemned so you can buy it for $30000. that is bullshit, and you know it. at the end of the day, even if i am out the money, i know where i stand morally, and i know i am above the people who stole from me. its not going to kill me. i'm a smart person. i know exactly where i stand financially. i was able to go 4 months without working on $1500, and my creditcard bill wasn't even that bad, until i hurt my ankle. now, it will just be another 3 months to pay it off, instead of 1. its not the end of the world. fuck you guys, if you try to bring this up again with all your preachy bullshit, i'm going to punch you in the face.
so yeah, air, want to hit up the porch tonight? ;D
