Proof that Schools Today are Messed Up

What the Fuck is up with schools these days? The education system sucks balls. Students are learning useless crap. It's all just busy work. So many people made it through college, yet the majority of people in America are MORONS. Doesn't that say something?
Let's start with MY school, shall we? Just so you know I have proof that the schools are fucked up.
Yesterday, my class was taking the new SBA test. It's the new common core test that is now going to be on the computers. (Another sign the education system is fucking up. We don't need more online classes, damnit!!!!) Anyway... The teachers in the room had some technical difficulties with the computers and said we might have to all start over. (Luckily I wasn't very far yet, but some people were.) They were wrong fortunately, but they had no computer/technology skills whatsoever. Maybe it's not their job, or whatever, but they're supposed to be setting a good example for the students. And here's where it gets kind of ironic. On the wall in that very classroom, there's a list of things they want the students to become and one of the things was "Technology Literate Adults." Need I say more?
Here's the next thing about my school I wish to complain about. In the hallway, there's a poster for the fire department class and the caption says, "Rushing In While Others Running Out." It was bad grammar. Very bad grammar. I'm sure it was the students who wrote it, not the adults, although I'm not sure how much more acceptable that makes it since we're in HIGH SCHOOL. But anyway... The kids at my school aren't the brightest so I'm not surprised by the mistake really. What surprises me is that one of the adults didn't even notice it was bad grammar. Obviously an ADULT had to print out the poster. They didn't notice. Teachers walk past it every day. They don't notice. I truly think I was the first to say out loud that it was bad grammar. I said that to my teacher who did agree, but I don't think he would have noticed it otherwise. That proves how unobservant my school is.
Here's more proof the teachers aren't setting good examples. During the test yesterday, the teachers found a pack of gum on the floor. Did they ask who it belonged to? No. Did they try to return it? No. Did they take it to the school lost and found? No. Did they just leave it on a desk in case someone came back for it? NO. You know what they did? They opened the package, took a piece of gum, and chewed it. Great example, since the students themselves aren't allowed to have gum.
You've probably had enough of my rambling. Just one last thing I'd like to bitch about. During the test, I was sitting next to a friend. I was finished and they weren't. I was looking at them, and then a teacher came over and said I should move. They said they didn't think I was cheating, but I should move to another computer and pass the time since I was done. I did. Maybe they thought I'd be a distraction, but it was kind of ridiculous. I don't think it looked even remotely like I was fucking cheating. But what really pisses me off is that a few months ago, during the STAR testing, I saw two girls talking to each other during the test. They weren't trying to "cheat" but they were obviously talking out the answers with each other and I don't think they understood it was a standardized testing. No one caught them. If I had known their names I would have told on them. But I didn't. I almost see how it happened, because the SBA was in a very small room and the STAR testing was in the gym with dozens of students, but come on, teachers! You should have seen those two girls cheating. That pisses me off to no end and will probably bother me for the rest of my life.
Anyway, the school system is fucked up. Teachers set bad examples and the core curriculum is just useless busy work that will NOT help students become intelligent, will NOT prepare them for college, and will NOT help them in their fucking futures.
Thanks for listening.

How I Feel About the School System

ObamaCare

Yes, this post will be insulting Obama. And I know that it's obvious I'm more conservative, but just so you know, I hate Republicans and Democrats. I also don't like Obama, but it isn't because he's a Democrat. He just lied to our faces and stupid Americans voted. I didn't vote for him. Anyway... even if I had liked him or tolerated him- which I didn't, but if- I would hate him now. Recently, my family got screwed over by ObamaCare. Even if you love Obama, you can probably say that the Affordable Care Act contributed to the loss of your healthcare plan. Losing our plans is bad enough, but what makes it worse is Obama stated like thirty times that WE COULD KEEP OUR PLAN!!! I never believed him, but a lot of Americans don't look into the facts and if they just turned on TV and heard the President say, "With the Affordable Care Act, you can keep your plan. Period" then they probably thought it sounded like a great idea. Even though I personally wouldn't believe Obama, I don't blame the American people for thinking ObamaCare sounded good. Ironically, it was supposed to help Americans afford healthcare and now thousands- maybe millions- can't afford healthcare because of ObamaCare. To be honest, it's not like Obama had to glorify ObamaCare that much anyway, since he forced it through Congress and then forced it on the American people. Anyway, it pisses me off. The government is so f***ed up, and it has been for years- not just since Obama's administration, but mostly. Bush and Clinton f***ed things up too. 
What I dislike the most about Obama is he f***ing lies to us. He said he would lower gas prices- but gas prices more than doubled during his administration and it's only getting worse. He said he would lower the deficit but that didn't happen. He said he would create new jobs for Americans, but he doesn't even have the power to "create new jobs" so that was an obvious lie. I guess it wasn't so obvious since so many people voted for him, but whatever. He didn't created new jobs. He said we could read the bills before they were made official which sounds great but was obviously a f***ing lie as well. And like I said, he lied about ObamaCare, and I think he knew it. For the other things, I'm not sure he purposely lied. But I think he DID lie on purpose about ObamaCare, because if it was really intended to help Americans, he wouldn't have needed to force ObamaCare on us. And like I said, even if you did or still do love Obama, he probably f***ed you with ObamaCare. A lot of people who used to believe in Obama now hate him because of ObamaCare, and I'm not making that up. It's true. Many Americans were screwed over just like me and they DID get pissed at Obama. These people included Democrats.

The Kid Is Alright, The Episode Wasn't

The Simpsons aired a new episode a few weeks ago called "The Kid is Alright." It was about Lisa befriending a Republican. I hate it for so many reasons, which is why I am writing this post. Note that this post will probably only make sense to those who have watched the episode. Anyway, here's why I hated it.
First off, they're encouraging people to dis and stop being friends with people who are of a different political party. Liberals and conservatives- mostly liberals- are already doing that, so why encourage that? Another reason is, eight year olds should NOT be deciding if they're Republicans or Democrats. When Lisa said that in the episode, it looked like they were going to actually make a good point, but of course, they had to add the joke of Isabel's father having a monopoly, just because he's a Republican. But then again, the series has always been filled with plots and jokes based on stereotypes, which really annoys me, but I guess it was no surprise.
Another thing is, Lisa's mother, Marge, said Isabel was going through a "Republican phase" or something. Parents shouldn't force their political views on their children. I know Lisa would be liberal anyway, but Marge should have said that Isabel and Lisa should be friends no matter what their views are. But no, of course she didn't. No one in the entire episode made that point. Also, in the episode, the writers showed Lisa moping about having a Republican friend, but they didn't bother to show Isabel's side. She obviously didn't like liberals, but she didn't whine about it as much as Lisa. Even though she supposedly told her parents about Lisa being liberal, the writers didn't bother showing us what she said. As far as we know, she could have been whinier than Lisa- if that's possible, or she could have said it in a non-biased unwhiny perfectly normal way. I guess we'll never know, because the writers were being biased.
Liberals definitely played the victim in the episode, which is so wrong. And if it was real life, Lisa would have won the debate. Liberals control the media and most of the minds of people in America. Even if liberals deny it, they know it's true and they love every minute of it.
Another things is, the writers were trying to make fun of the fact Isabel was Hispanic, but here's a few reasons why that was stupid. First- Lisa was so surprised when she heard Isabel had a Spanish last name. Lisa and most liberals are so stupid they think ethnic people can't be Republicans!? Also, shouldn't Lisa be able to tell someone's ethnicity without having to hear their last name? And does Isabel having a Spanish last name MEAN she's Spanish? No. The funny thing about Isabel being Spanish was that the writers were trying to make conservatives look bad with that joke, but obviously made the liberals look bad instead. They made the liberals sound racist and ignorant, plus they made the point Republicans could be ethnic. The writers attempt to make liberals look good in that part of the episode was a fail.
Another thing is, although this is off the subject a little and not as serious an issue as the other stuff I mentioned about this episode, I think it was stupid that Lisa and Isabel didn't know the other person's political views until the live debate, even though they supposedly worked on it TOGETHER beforehand. As I said before, they shouldn't stop being friends because of different views. This episode definitely encouraged intolerance, which I know wasn't the point of it. So again, the writers failed.
If Isabel and Lisa had tried to be friends anyway, but realized they disagreed way too much and argued constantly, THAT would be a good reason to call the friendship off. But that's not what happened. They backed off the SECOND they knew of the others' political views. If the Simpsons writers actually thought this episode promoted good messages, they are DEAD WRONG. They only promoted intolerance, ignorance, and judging people based on stereotypes and not knowing the person. That is so wrong.
I know you might think I'm being biased, and yes, I'll admit I'm more on the conservative side of politics, but I do think some of what liberals stand for is okay. I just think the way liberals are today is ridiculous. They control the media and are impervious to criticism because otherwise they'll call those critics "racist" or "homophobic" or something else that isn't true. They take advantage of good people with good intentions to help themselves. And most of the people in America will never see. But even though I hate the liberals of today, I really truly am not trying to be biased. I don't hate liberals just for being Democrats. I just happen to not like what they're doing. In fact, if this helps you believe I'm truly not hating against liberals, I think the liberals of today are an insult to Democrats, because I DO think Democrats used to stand for something good. They promoted tolerance of gays, blacks, ect... Liberals now days pretend to do that so they get attention and stuff. So if you're a Democrat, I am not against YOU personally, because you probably have a good heart and are trying your best. It's just the liberals in office I dislike. I also dislike really powerful liberals because power goes to their heads. And that goes for the Republicans in office too. All politicians are d***s.
So yes, I'm a conservative. But am I being biased? No. I'm trying not to be.
I do think that when liberals are powerful and have access to the media, they become somewhat of monsters. They can steers what's being viewed to take THEIR side. The writers of the Simpsons admitted to being liberal. They obviously used this episode to kiss the liberals asses. It annoyed the shit out of me. And even with politics aside, it wasn't even a funny episode on any level. There were no funny jokes, no heartfelt moments, no clever moments. It was an overall crappy episode. I'm sure the writers were just proud to get their political viewpoints out there, but they shouldn't be too proud of this episode. And please don't think I'm claiming it was a bad episode JUST because I'm a Conservative. Like I said, politics aside, it was still unfunny and poorly done. Political views and bias have NOTHING to do with my opinion on that.
Anyway, that's all. If you're a Democrat, don't be too offended. I know you probably like the liberal officials, but it's just my opinion that they're corrupt and stuff. Also, if you like Lisa, don't be offended. I don't hate her like you may think. I don't even hate that she's a liberal. I just think she was being a d*** in this particular episode. Most of the time she's fine. And if you are a liberal and you think I'm a biased right-wing conservative, I'm not. Try to understand but if you can't, your loss.
Thanks for listening to my rants and stuff.

My New Years Resolution

I know I'm a day late, but Happy New Year anyway. 

My new years resolution is to do one good deed every day. To be clear, I'm not some horrible person who is trying to make up for my horribleness, and I'm also not limiting myself to only one good deed. But it's rare that people do good deeds every single day. And besides eating and sleeping and breathing, there isn't much I do every single day. It's a good challenge and hopefully I can do a lot of good deeds in 2014. 

Another thing I want to do in 2014 is learn to play the guitar. It was actually my resolution last year, but I failed, so I guess I'll try again this year. 

One more thing I'll attempt in 2014 is be more patient with idiots. I'm not really a bad tempered person, but I get visibly annoyed with unintelligent people, and I probably should be more patient with them. After all, they are... well, unintelligent. They probably don't understand why I'm pissed off sometimes. 

I guess those are all my resolutions for now. 

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! 

Merry Christmas, people! Merry Christmas to Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, and all other religions. I know Christmas is supposed to celebrate the Birth of Christ and all, but I don't think we should exclude other religions. Besides, I think the whole Christ meaning of Christmas has gone away, which some might see as a bad thing, but I don't. Now Christmas symbolizes the new year and family and talking to people you haven't seen in years. I also don't think looking forward to Christmas specials and presents and decorating the tree is such a bad thing, even in some really extreme Christians think so. 

Anyway, Christmas is a time to be with your family and do all that fun stuff, like decorating the tree and giving presents and hanging up lights and making Christmas cookies. It's also a time to celebrate the Birth of Christ, but whether or not you're religious, we should all be allowed to celebrate Christmas. I know a lot of people are gonna disagree with me, but each to their own. 

Merry Christmas.

Karma is a Bitch

Okay. If you've been reading my blog, which you probably haven't been, then you know I live with someone who smoked for 50 years. She quit a few years ago, which is wonderful, not just for her, but for the people around her who had to second hand smoke. 

Anyway, today, she had to wear an oxygen tank for her breathing problems. I know this is mean, but I was honestly laughing inside a little. I mean, come on! She smoked for 50 years!!! Besides her having coughing fits every day, I think life treated her kind considering she smoked for so long, but I think now she's finally get "pay-back" for it all. 

If she doesn't wear her oxygen tank before doing activities that could stress her body, she could die of a heart attack, the doctors say. Of course, I wasn't laughing because of that. Heart attacks aren't funny. But it was a little humorous to me that finally, finally her years of smoking are leading to some kind of punishment. Like I mentioned, she's been pretty healthy considering she smoked for so long, so in my opinion, she deserves this. 

Yes, I sound cruel, blah, blah, blah... But I'm not trying to be mean in anyway. I just think that she is getting what's coming to her, and it's about time. This should also be a warning sign if you smoke. Maybe you'll be lucky and only have minor coughing fits, or maybe you'll have to wear an oxygen tank. Maybe it'll be worse. Maybe you'll get lung cancer, or heart problems. To all those smokers, please try to quit. 

Anyway, this was probably a boring, meaningless blog post, but I just wanted people to remember that what goes around comes around. And if you've smoked for fifty some years, you're bound to have some lung problems. Again, I'm not trying to be mean, nor offend anyone. Smokers just need to be taught a lesson.

5 Things That Annoy Me

Life is wonderful. It's also a bitch. There are many great things that happen everyday, but the world is also filled with idiots and annoying s***. Here is my list of the most annoying things to me. I'll admit this is simply my opinion, but I believe it's an intelligent opinion and if you disagree with me, I'll totally respect that. 
This list is in no particular order. 

1. Family Guy 
It's not the worst sh** on TV, but it's still annoying. It's just a personal opinion though, so don't go ape sh** on me if you're some Family Guy fanatic. There are worst shows on television today, but Family Guy just annoys the crap out of me. The drawings are crappy, the plots are poorly written, and I don't find many of the jokes very funny. The characters are annoying as Hell, but again, just my opinion, so don't get all defensive. 

2. Liberals Who Use Civil Rights to Their Advantage 
I don't hate all liberals, so again, don't jump on me. I don't think all Democrats are this way, but the ones in power right now ARE. They say they support blacks, and gays, and immigrants so that they'll get votes. They fool the kind-hearted, gullible people of America. What's worse is these kinds of liberals try to give conservatives a bad name, and claiming Republicans are racists. If anyone disagrees with these liberals, they call those people "racist" or "homophobic" or "right-wing." They seem the think the last one is an insult, but it should really be a compliment if THIS is how liberals are. I might be overgeneralizing, I'll admit. Not ALL liberals are this way, but many are, and those who are annoy me. In simple terms, they take advantage of people's kindness. That is wrong on so many levels. 

3. Child Beauty Pageants 
They're child abuse. Simple as that. If the kid enjoys it, it's not as bad, but still, it's morally wrong. Notice how all the pageant moms are fat and ugly? Ok, not all, but a lot. The mothers go bat-sh** crazy and want their girls to win so desperately, and why? Cause they were too ugly for pageants themselves, and they want their dreams to be lived through their daughters. They make their daughters feel like winning is all that matters. The words, "It doesn't matter if you win, just have fun" don't exist to these pageant moms. They exploit their ignorant young girls. And when the girls don't win, it lowers the girls' self-esteem. That's awful. And pageant moms don't give a crap, obviously. Also, notice how happy the moms are when their daughters win. They dress up in fancy clothes like their daughters' and they get tiaras and their pictures taken. They get almost as much fame and praise as the daughters, only further proving that the moms are really doing this just for themselves. They consider the win theirs, the tiaras theirs... Everything is for themselves, not their daughters. Some might say they DO care for their daughters, but that's bullshit. Don't believe me? Look up pageant moms giving their 5-9 year olds botox and your opinion might change. 

4. Political Campaigns 
Political Campaigns are BULLSHIT. They're right-wing and left-wing propaganda. They're biased and usually full of lies. I'm talking about those annoying commercials that try to persuade you to vote for a certain candidate, like people running for Mayor, or government jobs. These commercials don't use facts- they make up good things about the person being promoted in it, and they often times dig up dirt on their rivaling candidate, or at least they pretend they've dug up dirt on the other candidates, even if they have to lie. They're unpersuasive, annoying, biased, stupid loads of horsesh*t. The worst thing is that they probably DO persuade people to vote for certain candidates. The best thing is they only come around during elections, so you only have to put up with them for a little out of the year, unlike the other annoying sh*t I've mentioned so far, which I have to tolerate every fricking day.

5. Twilight 
Twilight is the bane of my existence. It's ridiculous. It's awful on so many levels, and trying to explain my well-deserved hatred for it would take all day. It has plot holes, the characters are selfish psychopaths who make TERRIBLE TERRIBLE role models, people ACTUALLY use them as role models, the author is a selfish bitch who can't take criticism, and worst of all, it's impacted people to do horrible things, like dump their boyfriends cause they're not "Edward" or "Jacob", and kill people who don't like the books. People have admitted to being addicted to the books. Literally. I feels sorry for those people. They probably don't want to love that piece of shit. I don't feel sorry for any other Twilight fans cause they are b***rs and s***faced d-bags. Not all of them are, I guess, but most are and it's fucking ridiculous. The fact this book is popular makes my head spin. It makes no sense. It makes me sick. I hate Twilight and I think I have very very good reasons for hating it. 
I'll admit if you don't nit-pick the book, the plot holes are small, the characters' bad role modeling isn't a big deal, and the author isn't THAT much of a bitch. But that's not the problem. The problem is that there ARE plot holes, that the characters ARE bad role models- which wouldn't be half as bad if people weren't actually using them as role models. That's what makes me sick- and the author IS a selfish bitch. She can't stand anyone criticizing her book, which doesn't cut it if you're making your work public to a wide variety of audiences, some of which WILL criticize your work. You HAVE to be able to deal with that in some way or another. Stephenie Meyer- the wh*** who wrote Twilight- hides from criticism which is so lame and pathetic. Yes, haters can say mean things and hurt your feelings, Stephenie Meyer, but news flash- you're not the ONLY one who has been criticized. It happens to everyone and either you let it bother you, or you don't. Suck it up, bitch. It's how life works. 
I could rant forever, but I'll stop. I'll just leave you with these words... Vampires don't sparkle in the Goddamn sun, Twilight is a horrible influence, and I f**king hate the sh**ty Twilight Saga. 

That's all I have to rant about for now. I dislike other things, like smokers/smoking, animal cruelty, and other stuff, but I've ranted long enough. I hope that whether or not you agreed with me, you enjoyed this and I hope this enlightens you and maybe makes you reflect on your life thus far. Or maybe you didn't get half-way through and you find this a half-assed piece of sh**. That's OK too.
