Introduction

You know, I started to write this huge rant, on how angry it makes me that people in the world actively cause suffering for no reason, but I realized that it might be wiser to start with an introduction. I don't think anyone will care, but it is at least polite.

My name is easy enough to find, Jordan Cunningham. I'm a 25 year old male living in London, Ontario, Canada. Raised Christian, still one, but I like to think that I've got the whole "do unto others" thing and the "love your brother" thing down pat, as opposed to the "I'll convert you for JESUS"philosophy that is so popular with the media. I'm opinionated, I like to think of myself as a nice guy, I got a few trustworthy friends who do worthwhile things online. Might link them from time to time.

Now to get beyond the basics. I think I am smarter then average. I know this seems to be an arrogant statement, but it's just the fact that I can't stop thinking. If something does not seem right to me, I need to see why, and sometime, when I see why, I feel this need to see how it can be fixed. Often I fail on that last one, but it's the single minded obsession with these thoughts that has brought me here. I often walk down the street talking to myself working out some explination that makes sense to me for some stupid comments I heard an hour ago. It's not that I feel superior to people, trust me, I screw up enough to make sure that never happens, it's just that some of these solutions seem so simple to me.

So, I keep quiet about my opinions, cause no one likes a know it all, and I watch people on both sides of the fence yell and scream, and I always want to jump in and say, "Hey, is this really about what it is, cause if I could figure this stuff out, why haven't any of you?" In the end, I realize that human nature seems to grip us all, and always muddies the waters, and the best we can do is to police ourselves, and not to add to the problems of the world.

This brings me to the core of my philosophy. Really, it's based off of some stuff Jesus said, (note, I will NEVER quote The Bible, I'll talk on why later.) the love your brother as you love yourself bit. I've just turned it into "Don't be a dick, and don't be 'That Guy'." In the interests of not making this a huge rambling speech, I'll just say, that this pretty sums up who I am. Everything else about me I'd rather not pin down to any titles, political camps or theological philosophies, not until I have something specific to talk about.

I made this blog because, after the whole "Boobquake" ordeal, I got fed up with some of the stuff I read on this girl's comment section. It seemed to pointless, so inane, and I thought to myself, "I have all of these thoughts and speeches locked away in my head, on so many philosophical, political and moral issues, I never hear these opinions stated by anyone else in the world. Maybe I should start a blog or write a book or something. Get it out of my system." Well, the urge didn't go away after 3 days, so here we go.

Hopefully I won't come of as a total jerk.
