Check out our guns!

The Supreme Court ruled today that the Chicago law banning all handguns is unconstitutional. The Court said that the ban went too far by not allowing citizens to have a weapon for self defense in their home. That is all fine and good, but doesn’t anyone else realize the problem with all of this? The problem is this; the constitution allows the right to bear arms not for the reason of self defense, but rather as weapons that could be potentially be used against the government in the case of the government overstepping its boundaries. How many times have you heard the idiot that whines about people owning assault rifles? “What do you need an assault rifle for? You don’t use an AK-47 for hunting; you only use it for killing people.” That’s right, that is what an assault rifle is for, killing people. When the government starts screwing up, it is the duty of an American Citizen to rise up and destroy the oppressive government. Now, most people feel as though they are better off living in the current United States than starting a rebellion and possibly getting killed in the process, but that is what the second amendment is for, not self defense. My stance is this; as long as you are not a felon, have as many guns of any type that you want. I don’t care. To all of you gun proponents; stop screwing up the argument by bringing in the self defense angle. If you allow that to enter your argument, people will refute your position. The second amendment allows you to have guns for one reason; shooting government oppression right between the eyes.

Justice??

On April 1st of this year, 9-year-old Chase Brubaker was killed on the Disney property when his bicycle veered off of the sidewalk and into the wheels of a Disney bus. After a month long investigation, the driver of the bus was cleared of any wrong doing and allowed to return to work. The Florida Highway Patrol says that the boy’s bike had flat tires before the accident and that is what caused him to go out of control and into the side of the bus. Believe me, I have two kids myself and would never wish losing a child on anyone, but here is where my problem begins. The parents of the boy say that they believe that Chase was a safe child and that he was even wearing a helmet. They claim that he would not have hit the bus and that Disney is at fault. This is the ultimate example of parents not admitting that their child can do any wrong. Let’s face it; kids make mistakes, that’s what makes them kids. These mistakes are what parents should be using to teach their children about life. The worst mistake a parent can make is to enable their kid’s bad behavior and thus not allow them to learn any lessons. I have a feeling that if parents were a little more into actually parenting their children rather than making excuses for them, the world would be a much better place. It is very unfortunate for this particular family that Chase will not be able to learn from his mistake, but the principals remain the same; your child made a mistake. I understand that the parents are under a giant amount of stress and pain and I can’t really hold them responsible for all of their comments, but their attorney is another matter. After the report came out, the family’s attorney commented “Chase’s parents are devastated and they will be pursuing justice against Disney.” Is there anyway that I can hire Jay-Z or someone to cap this idiot? What kind of stupid comment is that? If you are just looking for money, then just say so, quit acting like you are “looking for justice.” Karen Terry, the attorney, is an embarrassment to the human race. I hope you fucking die and burn in hell for all eternity.

Speed Date Night

As anyone who knows me is aware, I am all about being cutting edge. My latest idea is no different. I have come up with a plan that combines two modern ideas into one. As depicted in flaming turd of a movie known as “Date Night,” many married couples are devoting one night a week to going out on a date. These couples believe that this will help them keep their relationship fresh and prevent one another from taking each other for granted. The other ingredient to my plan is another modern scheme known as “speed dating.” “Speed dating” is where a large group of men and women couple off with each other for 5 minutes or so to talk. When the 5 minutes are up, the couples switch partners for the next 5 minutes and so on in the hopes of turning dating into a numbers game. One figures that the more of the opposite sex that you talk to, the more likely you are to meet that special someone. My plan is to combine these two ideas into one better idea. I would like to institute the “speed date night” with my wife. Here’s how it works; Step 1: on every Tuesday night, my wife talks to me for 5 minutes (preferably during a commercial) and when the 5 minutes are up, I move on to no one. My wife and I are after all married and I have no desire to “speed date” any other woman as I love her very much. Actually, that’s it, there is no second step. I would like to institute this with married couples all over the country. I ran this idea by my wife, but she didn’t have much to say and then just laughed. Keep in mind, Einstein was met with skepticism at first as well. We’ll see…

To make a long post short...

Do me a favor everyone, stop saying, “to make a long story short.” If your goal is actually to make the story shorter, you just screwed up and added an extra 5 seconds to your long winded story. Please, just let me believe that you are going to try to make every story you tell to me as concise as possible. I’ll be the judge of when a story gets too long….
After the end of the show “Lost,” I heard about how wonderful the show was. I decided to go back and watch the series from the beginning. After the last show, I heard many people and critics express surprise that all of the people on the island were actually already dead and in purgatory or something. What the fuck were these people watching? About 90% of the dialogue is about some sort of religion and there are even characters that explain people are not on the list because they aren’t good people. How many clues do you need to let you know that this is some kind of heaven/hell scenario? I guess the relative surprise speaks to the dumbing down of the country. Remember when movies and other stories had subtle foreshadowing of the ending and people got it? Now, a character tells you that they are only taking the good people to live with them and you are surprised at the ending? I guess the art of perception is dying...

Justice has been served!

Did you hear the collective sigh of relief from the community of Tampa Bay yesterday? Thanks to some wonderful police work and the grinding wheels of the justice system, yet another tragedy (terrorist plot?) was narrowly averted. John Haring was arrested and we can all breathe a little easier knowing that this criminal is off of the streets. Haring, a 46 year old Clearwater man. committed the heinous crime of growing a few Marijuana plants for his own use for pain management. Fortunately he was caught before he could cause some serious damage. One thing that I forgot to mention was this, Haring is a quadriplegic that is using the pot that he grows for pain management rather than the harsh prescription pain medications that he has been prescribed. It's a good thing that the police are out fighting this war on drugs so that criminals like Haring can be kept off of the streets with his Stephen Hawking model wheelchair.
Ok, aren't the cops trying to find ways to cut thier budget? Is this really the crimefighting that we need to be spending money on right now? Every time someone mentions a real crime problem like border patrol or keeping tabs on molesters, someone pipes up with the old famous line; "we don't have the manpower or resources to spend on these problems." Here's an idea; how about we take the crack team of detectives that were working the Haring case and put them on some real crimes? The next time you hear some government official whining about not having enough money, take out the newspaper that has the Haring story in it, roll it up and shove it right up their goddamn ass. Also, what about the cop that found the pot? Couldn't he just have destroyed it and given Haring a verbal warning? Don't tell me that doesn't happen in other circumstances... Haven't you ever been let off of a speeding ticket? How about we mix in some common sense with law enforcement? Just an idea...

I'm Lost

I have a new favorite company name... It's "Big Ass Fans." I feel like that is something I should have come up with.

After hearing the big to do about the ending of the show "Lost," I decided to check it out. I am about 3/4 of the way through watching the first season and to be honest with you, it isn't that good. In fact, the only reason that I am continuing to watch is because of all of the people that have told me that it gets better with time. This leads me to one question; who started watching the show from the beginning? I mean if I had caught a few episodes from day 1, I would have stopped watching immediately. If someone had then said, "it's going to get better," I would have viewed that as an empty promise... I have faith that it will get better, but only because it has already been shown, otherwise, I would never have watched. I'll keep you posted...
