Don't Panic; Panicking Makes Things Worse

We have all heard it. Some idiot brought Ebola onto U.S. soil. Let say two things. First and for most thanks to our president for reducing the CDC's ability for be able to prevent this in the first place with his scrapping of regulations back in 2010. Secondly don't panic.

Yeah I've heard a good amount of people saying they're worried, but I'm not. Why? Well for starters we still caught it early it seams. Add in the fact that we have a much more sanitized society than Africa, and the virus is not air born, so yeah I'm not freaking out yet, and why should I. When people panic there really is nothing but chaos.

Take the fall of the housing market leading into the slumping economy. Things started to hurt at first yet, but what really killed the economy is getting idiots yelling about burring your money in the ground and not spending  a cent to save themselves and crap like that. What did that do. People panicked, didn't spend their money, and with the lack of spending the economy tanked. What could have been an easier descent ended up being a thumble.

When people freak out problems arrise. Don't panic, and we can join together to sovle the problem. Create and spread it and then you have to worry about the original problem, plus the panic, and the aftermath of the panic.

By all means we need to be vigilant. We all have worry, and there are things we need to be aware, and worried about. Like Hilary for 2016. Though worried about that I am, educing panic will only create and open wound.

Dept Free! Or Am I?

Today I took the liberty of paying off my student loan in full. It wasn't a very large student loan, but it still hurt might I add. I spent almost $2000 in one day. That's the most I've ever spent at once so far in my life. Still though that's something off my chest that I will never have to worry about anymore. I've done good staying out of dept, and will continue to do so since dept is basically making you slave to the lender in many ways. But am I truelly dept free?

Credit card is always paid off at the end of the month, loan was just taken care of, and I haven't lost any bets so how could I be. Well in all due respects I am, but in another way it seams that I might not be. Take  a good look at the dept clock for this nation.

http://www.usdebtclock.org/

At the time I am writhing this on the 10th of September 2014 at around $5:15 Denver time slot the nation dept is rising fast enough that I can't write down the exact number how ever in the time I can it is close to 17,731,615,580,500. Of course in the time it took me to write that it rose substantially. Right next to the main U.S. Dept counter you will see that the Dept Pr Citizen which is how much each citizen would be in dept if the nations dept was distributed over the U.S. population.

So am I really dept free? Pfft yeah, but I'm still paying for a nations spending that is so alarming bad that we are on our way to $18 trillion in dept. That is scary. By all means we need to keep spending money, heck even the same amount we are now. However the way it should be spent should no be done like it is now which is basically throwing money down the toilet.

What you assume isn't always what we think it really is.

It happened yesterday at work. A situation that got me thinking. Thinking how often we rush to conclusions, how often we assume things just based off what we see on the surface without fully noticing what might be happening underneath.

I was sitting and eating lunch in the back room of the  store I work in. One of the other employees is a teenager who had started working at the about I want to say two, or one and a half ago. She was sitting on some 24 packs of soda writing down things to bring to the front. One of the other employees walked by and told her something around the lines of, "We actually work here not just sit around." I had been sitting there for just a few minutes, and had to talked to her a bit, and she just looked at me like obviously he just doesn't realize I'm making a list and when back to what she was doing. The other employee returned and basically said something around the same thing. Some stuff about how we just don't sit around, and we actually work here and stuff that most people already know.

She defended herself of course, but he was futile as she had obviously been sitting there for twenty minutes or something like that, and told her grab something and take it out in a rude, and avoid voice. To tell you the truth the guy has a bad habit in which he starts to walk away, or turn his head when he talks oftenly making it hard to hear everything he said.

Now I'm not exactly sure if what he said is true, nor do I deny it. All I know is this. Form what I saw the teenager was oftenly called up front to work one of the register, so obviously she wasn't working, the other employee oftenly is moving around. The teenager also has been trying to work on the back items for quite some time to only have to keep getting called to the front. So could it be possible what he saw wasn't really what he thought?

Perhaps. I hate it when people just rush to conclusions, and hate it even more when people are rude about it. I think we need to stop judging everything based off what we see immediately, and try to see things as a whole. You can't say a movie sucked without seeing it, or at least a detailed review as to why it is bad. Did I think the other employee overacted? Yes. Is he wrong? I don't know. I can assume, but not fully conclude. That is all I want people to do. Assume for better or worse, conclude when we see more than what we thought we did.

Common Courtesy... Does Anyone Believe In It Anymore?

Well it's been a while since I've been so busy, but that is of no impotence. In the past weeks though I've had a thought occur to me several times. Weather it dealt with me personally, or noticed it elsewhere. Heck sometimes I just stated thinking about it. When did people stop using Common Courtesy? Common Common Courtesy is basically not being a douche bag. O.K. a less direct approach is basically not being a jerk to others with no real good apparent reason. There are times when you need to stand up to someone, but making a big deal about others beliefs, ideals, or just being a jerk for the sake of being one has no real exception in life.

You see it all the time with politics, You Tube Comments, news, any other form of media, or even just people you meet on the street. You can't escape people being an ass to others it seams these days. There's always that one douche bag acting like he's so much better than everyone around him because of the awesome ride he has, that idiot who just has to be right and anyone who doesn't agree with him is an idiot, that one person who just has to bully someone because  he just because he thinks he's all that. Yada Yada Yada it goes on and on.

I don't agree with everything that everyone says, but I no better than to just be a jerk to those I don't agree with.Now if they want to call me a moron for not blindly believe in what they do then yeah I'm fighting back, but what ever happened to people just letting others have their own opinion. Granted there are some things that are wrong just in general, but I hardly see why people should make a big deal out everything, have to act like they are so much more important then everyone else when really they aren't.

Well Said Once Again.

Basically what I would have said. It's not a gun problem. The media is trying to make it seam like it is, but it isn't. Criminals don't care if guns are legal or not.

Well said Pan Pizza

This video reminded me about peoples opinions. Just becasue we don't agree doesn't mean people are stupid. Other factors determine that. A good example is part of a comment that I put on his video.

" I hate COD, and Katie Perry but I don't hate people who like those things I just don't personally understand why. I love My Little Pony and My Chemical Romance. Not everyone else does. That's fine. What I really hate is how people just have to say things suck. I think Katie Perry sucks, but I'm not going to tell people who like her that that's just rude. Just because you don't like something someone else loves doesn't mean you need to be a d*** about. I wont force my likes on you don't force your hate on me, and vise verse."

I just watched the video I just thought I would share it, and the actually pretty smart way of saying it. Or at least I thought he sounded smart.

Happy Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July. Our nation is now 238 years old. Remember it's not just about blowing stuff up, steak, burgers, and parades. It's about 238 years of liberty, trials, and sweat and blood that made this nation from day one. Remember that flag doesn't mean Merica. It means America. The land of the free, and the home of the brave. This country has many many problems, but I still love it none the less knowing that out of any country in existence we can make the best of it.

Well Well Well

Look what we have here. Someone on CNN saying that the NRA is not part of the problem. I must say I'm a bit surprised. Maybe Mr. Moore, and Bloomberg will learn something.

We Don't See, but We Need To Know It Exists

I watched a movie the other day that got me thinking. It is an anime movie known as Kite Liberator. It is a sort of sequel to the original cult classic Kite. That doesn't matter really though, what matters is the premise the what the movie is about. The movies are both about a young school girl who lives a double life. By day she's a normal girl, but at night she's an assassin who hunts down sexual predators. Both lead girls in the movies have had to go though some form sexual assault, and such themselves. There pretty cool movies, but the the idea got me sort of thinking. How many children, teens, and mostly woman have to deal with sexually predators.

It's sad to have too hear Amber Alerts from time to time. I remember a quote from Batman Beyond in which Terry remarks "I can't believe all these children are missing." Then Bruce says "Believe it." Then there are things like what happens in the movie Taken. Human trafficking is a real thing, and unfortunately seams to have no end. I only wish to make some awareness to it. I feel that it just isn't mentioned enough these days. I remember in school, and on T.V. as a child there used to be so much on stranger danger and such. Nowadays days it seam non existent.

I believe we need more awareness of things such as sexual predators, and human trafficking. Part of helping the problem is realizing it, and I just don't feel that is being approached enough. Politicians focus so much on things like gay rights, abortions, and gun control when there are far more serious matters at hand. Hell I think an unnamed assassin who hunts down rapist is probably something we need. Because the way I see it most people don't realize how serious this is. We don't see it, but we need to know it exists. There will never be a full solution, but that doesn't mean we can't fight back against the problem.

Some people deserve a bullet to the head, but no one should ever have to live wondering weather their daughter is alive, or has been subjected to worse.

Best Insult I've Ever Made So Far

I don't normally just openly insult people in the You Tube comment section. Even in an argument, but over the course of a few days I've had this one with some  guy on You Tube that has been rather heated, but yet I was rather chill with. Not get angry really at all in fact. Just pointing things out the best I can, about the most insulting I did was calling him a narcissist, and hypocrite. But there comes a time when people take things to a low that insulting them is just too easy. He blatantly just said, not in exact words, that since I'm religious I'm just wrong. Now he was basically just saying I was wrong and he is just right from the beggining but such arrogance is just about over kill. So I did my explanation as to how he wrong for what he said in a rather intelligent way. Then I finished with this insult.

Go preach you hypocrisy,and narcissism somewhere else. Like your mirror. Maybe you'll arouse yourself with your false sense of pride, and arrogance and then proceed to jerk off into the face of the world.

I know there are better insults out there, but so far it is the best insult I've ever said. 


In the end I'm not here to talk about my "victory" if you call it that. It never was about that from the beginning. I just think this story would be funny, and maybe enjoyable. Maybe it was, or wasn't in the end I still perceive it to be.

Narcissism... I Think Thats Part Of The Problem

I love this country despite it's problems. That being said lets talk about one of those problems. It sort of hit me a while ago. I don't know how or why but it just sort of popped into my mind. One of the problems that we have in this nations government and politics is that people don't get involved or support a cause, or side because they find it necessarily right, whether morally, economically, or just plain in the best for the country, but because they are narcissists. Lets think about this in more depth.

Lets look at our president. Is he president because he wants what's best for this country, or is it because he's a narcissist who does it for the glory, fame, and free benefits. I believe so. You don't have too agree with me, but judging by the way he runs things I wouldn't be surprised. He talks of change, offers benefits to illegal immigrants, has our welfare in the biggest mess it's ever been. I believe he knows that by giving people free stuff he gets his high chair.

Now lets look at Liberals. O.K. O.K. we can put conservatives here too, but I feel liberals milk it the most. Why do I think some people are liberal? Because it makes them feel better than others, feel more important, like they are doing the world a favor by fighting or such a good cause such as Obama Care, allowing illegal immigrants to just come as they please, and fighting for civil rights that have existed since the 60's.

They voted for Obama because they are narcissists. Because by voting for democrat they are voting for a good cause by helping everyone with their socialistic that "help" everyone.

Now I know I can't blame every liberal for this. I also can say that yes conservatives do the same bull shit I know, I know I want be completely biased. Still are people voting because they really think it's right, or because it makes them look so special, important, and for such a "good cause". Fueling their feel goods for themselves rather than logically thinking. If you voted for Obama fine, but I at least want you to think exactly why.

My favorite part is how he calls gun free zones placebo affects. That's a good way of putting it, but unlike in the medical world mind over matter doesn't work for mass shooters.

Monday, May 19, 2014

Yup here's a good one.

I really hate it when anti gun groups blame the legal ownership of guns on crime when whether they are legal or not criminals will still have them. In this case this guy on the left thinks gun sellers supply criminals, and the guy on the right makes a point that just because people abuse guns doesn't mean it's the sellers fault just like you can't blame steel, and food companies for making people fat for making spoons. There are so analogies that can fit this.

Why We Hate Change

It happens. Things change for better or for worse, and often we don't like change. Growing up is by far the worse change as you see you youth flash before our eyes knowing it will be left behind. Despite change we the only thing we can do is embrace it. Unfortunately it is harder then we expect it.

The worst kind of change is the one that leaves us hanging. It's one thing to adjust to change with the uncertainty of the unknown, but when change comes too sudden, leaves you at some sort of cliff hanger, or leaves with a sense of a certain special form of uncertainty that can't be explained.

Good examples are the death of a pet, break ups, marriage of a close family member or friend, Cough! End of Season 4 of My Little Pony, Cough!, and basically anything that leaves you wondering how things will continue from here with the changes at hand.

We all go through it, but I just felt that maybe by writing about this might ease others, as well as myself. The past few months have been filled with uncertainty, confusion, and the unknown prospect of being left to dangle in a sort of purgatory I guess. Sometimes you just need to say something to relieve yourself, and hopefully help others do the same.
