Friday: Time to Rant
Obama's Home Mortgage bailout. Over the past few years a lot of stupid people took out huge home loans with insane interest rates and now they are defaulting on their payments, hence our economic meltdown. Obama would have the rest of us, via tax-fed bailouts pay for their mistakes. I say bullshit!, I say personal responsibility, and I say tough luck to anyone who was stupid enough to take a $400,000 home loan when they were making 20 grand a year at some dead-end job. What the hell is Obama thinking? This type of ass-backwards logic of making those who have figured out how to make money pay for those who haven't is why I could never be a democrat and I'm saying this as someone who isn't rich at all! The liberal's mindset is to view the individual as the eternal victim of malevolent corporate forces; they never seem to acknowledge that some people are just stupid and should be made to see the results of their bad choices, or at least shouldn't be instantly burried in the money of those who didn't make the same mistake.
Healthcare. Now that the elections over the furor over universal healthcare is starting to cool down. Its about goddamned time too. Universal healthcare... awesome idea for the sickly people who wouldn't have to pay in, but would gladly, constantly be taking out. What about the rest of us? Why should I, as a healthy individual, have to pay taxes for millions of sick people to receive care, especially people who are sick as a result of their own lifestyle? Why should doctors be forced to socialize their medical practices instead of controlling their own fates? My wife's father is a successful doctor in Taiwan and when his government socialized healthcare in his country he opted to keep his practice privatized. Why? He can provide better care, make his own hours, charge his own prices and operate without a bloated bureaucracy over his head. He has prospered because he is a smart man, and thats the way it should be. However if we do universalize healthcare one day it better come with some serious caveats: mandatory birth control based on economic brackets, compulsory BMI standards for all citizens, outlawing retarded alternative medicines... When you want everyone to pay for your own healthcare we will get a say in it! You make $8.00 bucks an hour and want to have a kid when you are 19? No can do sweetie! We ain't footing that bill. Broke the left side of your body hucking your bike off a 40ft drop and need us to pay your 1 million dollar hospital bill? Is that fair?
People who don't like food. You know those people, we all do. The ones who would be happy eating cottage cheese and milk the rest of their lives, the type who are always chewing on something bland and tasteless. They are the people who view food simply as a nutritional source, not as something to be celebrated and savored. I don't trust those people, whats wrong with them? I can hardly even eat Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches anymore because they are too boring. Life is too short to dull your taste buds, go eat some good Italian fettuccine alfredo with fresh seared scallops!
Chimpanzee Strength. Natural selection sure did deal us humans a raw hand in the strength department. Even though they are our close cousins they physically outclass us in a big way. A 90 pound chimpanzee is 5-7 times stronger than a muscular human, without ever working out! If we humans don't constantly exercise our body literally eats our muscles, yet a chimp can sit on its ass for 50 years and still be able to rip a 1980's Arnold Schwarzenegger to bits. Lucky chimps!
Stupidity, Noise, and Repetition. Ever notice how the dumber someone is the more they enjoy loud noises? Music, engines, their own voice, all LOUD. I imagine it has something to do with stimulation; dumb people need lots of it which is why you can bet that when the aliens come they will steer clear of theaters playing the newest Fast and the Furious movie when looking for our planet's best and brightest. Dumb people need repetition too; which is why Top 40 radio plays the same retarded songs over and over; and Will Ferrill keeps making the same movie time and time again.
Prole Migration. Its always disappointing when the masses discover something previously unknown and co-opt it for their own, a process which inevitably leads to a gradual dumbing down that things original state. Think of the last time your favorite band, book, or website became super popular and you'll feel my pain.
Thinking Poor. People who don’t have money generally think ‘poor’, that’s to be expected. The annoying thing is when people who have money think this way; you know the type, always haggling over prices, always trying to find a way to cut corners on projects. When you think poor, time becomes unimportant; you’ll drive across town to save one dollar even if costs you an hour. Thinking poor is a great way to stay stagnant in life; I’d recommend not doing it if you ever want to get anywhere. I try not to myself; and view it as a self-fulfilling prophecy. The way you see yourself has a big impact on how you present yourself to others, don’t think poor!
