I HATE PEOPLE WHO ANONYMOUSLY COMMENT ONLINE!!!

OK, so you are surfing the web and you come across a news story... ooorrrr a blog post... that you don't agree with. Well, might as well log on and make ridiculous comments about the story or post. After all, nobody will ever know that it was me who made the post! For the most part that may be true. If someone cares enough to find out who you are, it can be done, but why hide your identity in the first place?

I have had a few posters here that I am quite certain know me, yet they still post anon, I guess for fear that I may disagree with their comments. I have to question why anyone would make a comment if they are afraid that somebody might know THEY wrote it...

I don't particularity care what anyone thinks of my opinions or how I present them. I actually enjoy debating my point of view, so if you don't like what I have to say, let me know! If I hurt your feelings with something I write, perhaps you should have a thicker skin. You should know that if I am writing about you... you WILL know it. I will make it very clear that I am writing about you and only you.

Now on to my next blog...

I HATE PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT ALL "SOLDIERS" ARE HEROES!

I was driving on the 401 a few weeks ago and heard a song on the radio called Highway of Heroes. I have to admit that driving on that highway and listening to that song made me a little nauseous.

As I rolled down the highway, I got to thinking... what does it take to be a hero?

Seems to me that all it takes to be a hero in todays society is to wear a green uniform. It doesn't matter if you are a womanizer, cheater or a booze hound. It doesn't matter if the most heroic thing you have ever done is sit in the back of a truck in the desert and not get blown up. Am I saying that there are no heroes in the military? Absolutely NOT! What I am saying is it takes more then putting on a uniform to be a hero.

In my life I have lived next to 2 separate military bases. One thing that I know for a fact - Most people in the military did not sign up to "serve" their country. Some convince themselves of the incredible sacrifices they are making in service of something greater, but the truth is, they are either in it for the $$$ or they are in it because they LOVE it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with either of those 2 reasons for being in the military. Just don't try to convince yourself or others of the great sacrifice you are making because it is BULLSHIT! You want to make a sacrifice for your country, do it for free (Hell, Rambo never asked to be paid!)... now that is a sacrifice!

I can understand that some of you are going to throw the "well they are heroes because they put their lives on the line every day" song and dance my way. To that I have to ask, are linesmen heroes? What about minors? Carpenters???

Every day when a linesman climbs a pole, a minor descends into a mineshaft, a carpenter climbs a ladder, they are putting their lives on the line. How about a trucker, pizza delivery person or a taxi driver? More people die in car accidents in a week than have died this year in Afghanistan. Hell, according to unitedjustice.com, An average of 114 people die each day in car crashes in the U.S. Maybe we should give the pizza guy a medal of honour for not dying... think of the sacrifice he makes to ensure you get your pizza hot and on time!

In my opinion, a hero is someone who of their free will chooses to do something good with no ulterior motives. They do it not because it is fun or rewarding, but because it is the right thing to do. Do some military personnel fall into this category? They sure do. Perhaps there are more people in the military that fall into this category then any other profession, but just because they wear the uniform and do the job they are paid to do, doesn't make them heroes.

It sure has been a long time!!!

There is way too much love in this world and I think it is time to spread a little of the good ole H-A-T-E.

I HATE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love my kids... I just don't like them a large percentage of the time.

Remember, children, like babies are not really people. They look like miniature versions of people, but they lack common sense. To call a child dumb is redundant... a child is a child - they are all dumb! Yes, there are different levels of "dumbness", but they are all pretty dense.

You see, I don't hate children, I just hate hearing about how wonderful spending time with children is! I know that sometimes it is very satisfying to spend time with your kids, sometimes they even make you proud. For the most part however, they are needy, mouthy, smelly, dirty, complaining, argumentative, naughty, disgusting little money pits that remind us how imperfect we were when we were children.

When it comes down to it, there are a few rules to follow when discussing your children:

1. We don't give a S*$T if you are proud of your child, some of us are not proud of ours, so SHUT THE F%*K UP!
   


2. The more you talk about how wonderful your child is, the less we believe you... so maybe you should take a hint from #1 and STFU!!!


3. Maybe you did have fun going for ice cream with your kid, but let's be honest... going for ice cream without your kid would have been better, so SHUT THE F$*K UP!!!


4. If you think that conversations with a child about Barbie or Bakugon or video games are interesting, you are an even dumber than your kid... so STFU!
   
   And most importantly



5. JUST SHUT THE F#&K UP!!!!!!!!

I can't stand people proudly dressing up their children and parading them around like they are showpieces so that everyone can think they have the most wonderfully perfect life. Even worse is the parent who allows their children to do whatever they like and ignore the kids when they are doing inappropriate things. These are usually the people who "LOVE THEIR CHILDREN". Yeah... ignore the child while IT (it isn't a person yet, so I guess I can call it an "IT") annoys the rest of us. It is OK if your perfect little angel hits someone else’s kid or destroys someone else's property. That's just kids being kids right?!?

WRONG!!!!!

If you have your rotten little bastard around me, please discipline IT! It is easier to go on Facebook and gush about how wonderful the day you spent with your little jeezer was if you ignore IT the whole time. Maybe if you actually pay attention to what the kid is doing, you would not have so many great and wonderful things to say about them. Even if you do have great and wonderful things to say about your kids... maybe our kids suck and we don't want to hear about yours!

You want to know what I LOVE - seeing a frustrated parent in the mall carrying their kicking, screaming little demon under their arm while praying not to throttle the kid's little neck. That is a good parent; one that resists the temptation of burying their kid in the back yard when they act like idiots. One that gets the kid out of the mall before another mall patron throttles the parent.

If you haven't figured out what I am trying to say, here it is in a nutshell...

Nobody cares about how great your kid is. If you have to update your Facebook status, blog or Twitter Tweets, maybe you should describe all of the brainless things your kid has done. At least then the rest of us can relate!

On that note, here goes:

Why is it so difficult to convince a 14 year old boy that it is inappropriate to wear grass stained pants, a worn out COWS T-shirt that is too small and has bleach stains and a ladies peach zipper-front hooded sweater to school?

Now doesn't that make you feel much better than if I just gush about the wonderful meal my thoughtful son made for us last night?

I thought so!
