Terminal Brain Pretzel

I've been spending a lot of time on the phone with friends lately and we all are wondering the same thing.. What the bloody hell happened to common sense? When did it become an astounding talent to put a simple meal on the table? It's really not hard kids. It doesn't even have to take a lot of time or effort. And don't even get me started on the insanity in the news, my brain might leak out my ears in self defense. We live in a world where the government will hand you a paycheck for being a drug addict, but will send children's services to your house if someone claims you feed your children organic food. Organic Food... Oh.. My.. The Horror.. gah. We are not allowed to appropriately discipline our children, but we have to pay the fines if they do something wrong. We throw a fit if someone believes in a woman's right to choose, then cheer the bombing of foreign people.. you know, like women and children.. What. The. Hell. If you are against killing, fine. Be against all killing. Not just the killing that offends your invisible sky pixie.

I am very anti-ignorance and am well known for my rants about stupid people. I'm also 1 bajillion percent anti-hypocrite. You want to claim you're a christian and therefor better than me? Fine, RTFM and get back to me. If you are going to claim The Bible is the LITERAL word of god, put your money where your mouth is. You either believe the whole thing, or none of it. It's not a multiple choice situation. The same goes for any other organized religion. Either live up to your hype or STFU.

I am so very sick and tired of all the labels being flung about. Liberal, Libertarian, Republican, Fascist, Marxist, etc and so on. Stop the grammar school namecalling, get over yourself, and move the hell on. Our economy is in the crapper, our kids are failing at life and our amazing men and women in the military are dying. Your petty BS argument is invalid. If you really want to fight childhood obesity, stop harassing McDonald's and start booting your kids outside to play. The burger didn't make them fat, your lazy ass parking them in front of the TV so they'll leave you alone did. The school didn't make them fail the test, you not taking an active and informed role in their education did. Yes parents, I'm blaming you. You, the ones that buy the burger, that blow off the homework, that don't set a responsible example. Their potential future starts and stops at home. What we do and say matters far more than what they see on television, in video games, or on the radio. All of this is within our control. Don't want your son wearing saggy pants? Don't freaking buy them. Don't want your daughter dressing like a cheap hooker? Don't buy the clothes that allow it. Don't want your kids playing that violent video game? Don't buy it.

Wake the hell up people, there's no reset button and we're very close to seriously phuct.
