I am not the type to sugar coat things and I know that the followers of this blog appreciate that. So here it is. RELAX!!!!. The whole f-ing country needs to just calm down and chill. I know the economy sucks and we keep hearing that things are looking up but don't actually see much proof. Regardless, that doesn't give people the right to run around acting like the world is coming to an end. For those not necessarily worried about the economy, quit trying to push stupid laws and ordinances to keep you from being a good person or a good parent. So many people these days think that we have to ban everything so that young kids may not see or hear it. I agree that there are lots of things in the world that I wouldn't want kids exposed too, but that doesn't mean that everyone else can't enjoy it. It means that parents have to actually teach their children good & bad, right & wrong. I grew up with without all of the protective legislation we have now, but I didn't need it. My parents knew how to teach me to do what's right and good, and they took the time to teach it too me. So many parents these days say they are too busy to pay attention to teaching their kids. They say that's what the schools are being paid for. Unfortunately our schools are not funded well enough or staffed well enough to do that for us. Plus they shouldn't have to. Schools are there to teach Math, Science, Reading, etc. They are there to support your teachings of right and wrong, but it is your job to lay the foundation long before your kids get to school. If it is too hard to handle the responsibility of having kids, then don't have kids. Otherwise, grow up and be responsible. Don't expect everyone else to do it for you.
To rant in a related yet different direction, another thing that is driving me nuts is also economically related I believe. People and their services. whether it is cable, Internet, phone, or another utility, people believe that because their hard earned money is paying for a service they have the right to treat people working for those companies like a slave. Like they can yell and scream all they want and whatever their issue is just has to be fixed now. Realize that we the service people are just that people. We have issues to and understand that to you, yours are very important. In the grand scheme though yours may be very minuscule. As a company, you service provider is going to do whatever is best for them and the majority of customers, not just you. Don't call in thinking you can be rude to us because you pay us and don't call in thinking you can act retarded and not have to know anything. Just because you have and pay for our service doesn't mean we jump when you say so and doesn't mean that you are void of all personal responsibility. When you call we are going to ask you to troubleshoot a few things before sending a tech out. It is also possible that the issue is yours and not ours, in turn we will charge you if we send a tech out. We do not control every device that uses our service.
Personally, I could rant about this crap all day. I think this country has become too reliant on everyone having everything done for them. We as a people need to stand up and start doing things for ourselves. We need to become more self-reliant, in doing so we free ourselves from the need of others and in turn can help them become more self-reliant as well. Thanks for reading and no t having me committed after doing so. lol
