CRAZY

There was a cat. A horrible cat. He was as tall as a man, with little paws and feet. He had no pupils, and his lips were always curled in a little cat smile. I've caught him following me before. His reasons are unknown. Perhaps it amuses him. Whenever I tell him to go away, he would meow. An insufferable meow. A meow that dug into the very depths of your soul, and made you want to claw your eyes out with spatulas. Every time that horrible cat meowed, I would slowly back away, then run. Truly this cat was a demon in disguise. And so, I finally did what anyone in my position would do. I got a spray bottle filled with water. With it, I smited the demon cat, and sent it back to the pet shop from whence it came, and I live happily ever after.

Protesting the CoS

"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."-- English philosopher Edmund Burke
Evil prospers when good men do nothing.

For those of you who do not know what CoS is, it is the Church of Scientology.

Before I go on my rant, know this. I am not opposing free speech, religion or anyone's beliefs. I am protesting the organisation, that makes its members pay to be a part of the church. The organisation that goes after people who have any criticism about their religion. The organisation that seperates familys, doesn't get the medical help that some of their members need, and basically hurts its enemies and its own members.

Scientology is finally being called to account for embezzlent, blackmailing, brainwashing, murder, and assassinations of members that oppose the Church of Scientology.

"Fair Game Policy"
Founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, wrote that critics of Scientology were "Fair Game" and "May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.

"Operation Freakout"
Paulette Cooper wrote an anti-Scientologist book in 1969, so the CoS started a program of harrasement, including slander and false bomb threats that almost put Paulette in federal prison and nearly drove her to suicide.

"Operation Snow White"
In the 1970s, the CoS coordinated raids on the US Federal Offices to steal and destroy sensitive documents and hinder investigation of the church.

Lisa McPherson.
Former Scientologist, she was traumatized after a car accident, and was left mentally unstable. Because Scientologists oppose psychological treatment, she was place in isolation by the church and died slowly under their care because she did not get the medical help she needed. 17 days after her isolation began, she was driven not to the closest hospital, but a hospital so far away, that she was dead on arrival, because the hospital they drove to had a Scientologist working at it. Her autopsy revealed death by dehydration/starvation, and her body was covered in sores and cockroach bites.

If you want to help, help by spreading the word about what Scientology has done, make pictures, write letters. Do anything that you think could help stop Scientology. As long as its legal. Y'know, because illegal things are bad.

OT Mu Lan

1. Some of the values I saw in Mu Lan include the Great Wall of China, the Palace, grace, ancestors, ornamentation, lucky crickets, honour, beauty, loyalty to the Emperor and family, the country, tea, perfection, bright clothing, strength, war, weapons, music, dancing, insturments, luck, gods, crests, and swords.

2. This movie was made by Disney, so the values in it came from Disney's view on China.

3. I think a lot of it reflects on real China, but not all of it, such as the scene at the end where they're all dancing to music. I think that it mainly tells the truth because of my history lessons, and other media about China.
