My mother’s husband’s children don’t know who our current primeminister is. They’re all in their teens. I’d blame the school system, but I know it’s most likely their parents’ fault.
PARENTING PROTIP: Old people, if you create a generation of slobbering ignorami, I’m getting the “Murder She Wrote” reruns taken off the air.
Well, that’s not really a tip so much as a threat.
Hi United Statesian politicians. A lot of you have been knocking Socialism. This doesn’t make much sense to me. Varying degrees of socialism are present in all systems of government. For a country to be completely free of socialism they would have to remove all government and privatise everything. The entire point of a having a government at all is to centralise power and to collect and redistribute money and resources. So my point here will not be whether your government should be socialist or not, but rather that it should more socialist.
So, here we go, kiddies, some reasons why socialism is the awesomest.
Health care for everyone. This one pretty much goes without saying. Basically, if I were to crawl out of my igloo, slip on the ice and crack my head open, I can get me noggin patched up for free. Plus, medication costs less for when we do have to pay for it. No $80 bottles of Baby Tylenol for us. There are very few situations where I would have to choose between my health and not being in a lifetime of debt.
School funding by size. A 1000 student school in a poor area gets the same funding from the government as a 1000 student student school in a rich area. Well, it’s a bit more complicated than that, involving some sort of strange formula, but since funding is based on need (not property taxes), most of the disparity in quality of education is from whether or not the school hired douchebags as teachers.
Federally operated prisons. Since no one profits from people reoffending (the goverment just loses more money), there is more of an incentive to rehabilitate people. Seriously, why would anyone privatise their prisons? The mind fucking boggles. The same goes for privatising the military. I hate you people so much.
I think I had a few more examples, but I’m getting tired and incoherent. Hit more for some selected jabberings about other stuff I hate in the US right now.
Apart from the whole economic meltdown, which I would care about, if I actually had any money, there have been a couple of things bugging me lately.
Is Sarah Palin really a young earther? Seriously? Is there some way we could detach Canada from the US, because them Amuricains are really starting to scare me.
Soooooo, I get my Nitendo DS all tricked out with a SD reading flash card dealie and then Nintedo anounces the Nintedo DSi, that will come with a SD card reader already in it. Also, the thing has a camera in it. Mark my words, one day, there will be digital paper, a few microns thick, with a camera in it, so we can document the stupid faces we make when we’re trying to spell things and post them on Facebook V6.7 .
Speaking of Facebook, the “Pieces of Flair” application tells me how many people are using the flair I created, but not who they are. I must know these people that enjoy my “David Bowie’s Area” flair.
I’m not chopping my hair off for charity, EVER. Stop asking me to do this. Fuck the children with cancer. I’ve already dealt with family members with cancer, that’s my fucking contribution to the “cause”. If you want hair donated to charity, you can spend the time and effort growing it and then chop off your own fucking hair, you dipshits.
Here, have a prediction: the bloody Conservatives are going to win the upcoming Federal Election, because the lousy Boomers have lost their idealism. Yes, the people that discovered all the good drugs, don’t want anybody else to use them. For SHAME. Also, they don’t want me to be able to file share, but I LOVE file sharing.
In Summary:
Heath Ledger has been dead now for less than a day and already the Westboro Baptist Church Fucks are planning on picketing his funeral. A stunt that will no doubt provide them with more media coverage than any of their previous crimes against humanity. And there will be Fred Phelps spouting hate and ignorance, all the while pretending that it’s about upholding God’s law or something, when it’s really about Fred feeding his ego.
Isn’t Pride a sin or something there, Phelps? I know Wrath is one and with the amount you go on about hating things, you definitely exhibit buckets full of Wrath and since getting absolved or rebaptised or whatever the fuck would involve you admitting you’d done something wrong, you’d never do it. By your on stupid religious laws you’re fucking doomed, bitch.
I’m not really sure what I’m going on about here. I guess I’m just pissed off that an actor that has brought lots of entertainment and joy into my life is gone and that some stupid bigoted asshole is going to try and fuck with the bereaved’s shit, just to get his ugly shit face on television again and the fucker will, regardless of whether picketing happens or not.
I’m also pissed off at myself. Until now, I’ve watched the antics of Fred Phelps with indifference. He was just a crazy guy doing crazy shit. It took some stupid shit involving a pretty-boy actor to get me incensed. I’m disappointed in myself for not caring about the little guys Fred’s been fucking with.
Sooooooo, anyway… You like being like Jesus there, Phelps my boy? I’ll make you a fucking martyr. You can even have your own cross to carry, if you want one. Only above yours the plaque will read “King of the Assholes”. On the third day, instead of of you rising from your grave, I’ll be pissing on it and the the world will be a fucking better place.
Well, that’s enough of me venting. I’ll probably regret this in the morning.
Here’s to the day when I have a calmer head that will prevail or whatever.
Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of television (the outdoors is currently cold and unpleasant) and I’ve noticed a disturbing trend in the herpes medication commercials. Mainly, that there are so many couples featured in them.
I don’t know about you, but if I found out that my husband had herpes, he wouldn’t remain my husband for very much longer. In fact, I’d probably murder his sorry ass and I sure as Hell wouldn’t let him anywhere near my vagina ever again, even if he was taking Valtrex to control his outbreaks (ew ew ew fucking ew!)
Generally speaking, if you have periodic outbreaks of anything, I’m going to pitch you to the curve. Outbreaks are a deal breaker for me.
For example, I would be extremely displeased with periodic outbreaks of choreographed song and dance with the villagers. Those villagers must toil day and night in my mines and fields, if we are to achieved the quotas set forth by the Five Year Plan.
I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE STALIN MURDER MY ASS AGAIN!
That reminds me. Being Joseph Stalin is also a deal breaker for me.
I just really hate moustaches. Although, I am impartial to beards with moustaches, but not without moustaches.
I’m weird like that.
Can someone please send me some gauze? I think my brain is leaking out my ear!
In Canada we have many different kinds of sales tax. Like the GST (goods and services tax) and the HST (harmonized sales tax), which follows the same rules as the GST. Either the GST or the HST apply to all the provinces but none of the territories. The sales tax applies to almost all consumer goods purchased except those deemed as essential like: basic groceries, prescription drugs etc., which are exempted. All the goods that are not exempted are considered luxury goods.
Funny thing, tampons and sanitary napkins are not exempted from the GST and HST.
Now, I may be crazy, but I wouldn’t exactly call stemming the flow of the river of blood from my vagina a luxury. No, I’d probably call it, oh I don’t know… a NECESSITY!?
The government doesn’t seem to it’s a necessity though, even though they exempt adult diapers and incontinence pads from the GST and HST.
“Alright, we won’t tax you if you’re leaking piss or shit, but if you start to leak blood, then that’s just going too far, bitches!”
Pretty much every female between the ages of 13 and 45 menstruates and the government saw this as a steady stream of income that that they could take advantage of. A vagina tax, if you will.
I almost got upset that there was no penis tax, but then I remembered that porno mags and video games are taxed. That should more than make up for it, right?
