School

School I find is now becoming a waste of young children's time. This list will explain my reasoning.

• Teachers keep teaching the same exact things year after year. (At least the 1st quarter in Math and Language Arts)
• Students aren't getting challenged enough. (I was definitely one of those students. In math, I'd just sit there in my seat and doodle-yes, doodle-on my folder because I was one of the people who learned more quickly, I guess. So I sat there doodling while the teacher had to keep reteaching the things to the other students. So I found math that year, a total waste of my time. And I already knew like half of it.)
• Annual state testing is completing stupid. They give students the test in the middle of the 3rd quarter! There's still a whole quarter's worth of things to teach! And the things they teach you are things that will supposedly prepare you for the next year. Who's going to remember all that stuff over summer vacation? I know I didn't. (If an excuse for giving the tests in the 3rd quarter is that they need time to grade them or whatever it is that they do, why don't you get more people or machines? Ask the government for some machines! And if people (yes, we are called the carbon-based lifeforms) are also needed, you're going to give people jobs for cryin' out loud!) So my point is that the 4th quarter of the school year is a complete waste of teachers' and students' time.

Alright, so you see my point. If you're a parent out there, ask your child if they think the 4th quarter of their school year is a waste of their precious time!

Youtube

I'm sure you've all heard of 'youtube.com'. And if you haven't, well then someones been living in a cave for the past four years! But if you have, you just gotta love it. No doubt that its fun to search videos that your friends tell you are good. I even like to sit on my computer and search for random things! Who wouldn't? (If you're a hermit, then that's a different story.) But what if you type in the wrong kinds of things? What if a young child is around and sees what you're searching?

Everyone is into different things. And youtube is a multicultural video site. You've got your music videos, videos that are completely random, informational videos, and then you've got the completely wrong and disturbing videos. Parents especially don't want their children watching those kinds or videos. So when some people say that youtube is a 'kid friendly place', is it really? I'd say no way. There are some pretty disturbing things out there but the worst thing is to put it on youtube. Young kids go on everyday. Even five-year-olds go on. And as all little kids are like, they get easily attracted to things. So when that child clicks on a video that is not meant for them and his/her mother or father comes and sees what their kid is watching, they will most likely ban their child from ever using youtube again. But that would be horribly wrong to do. So that kid grows up and his friends tell him to watch a video on youtube. And so that kid (lets call him Billy) goes to his parents at home and asks if he can go on youtube. His parents say no. Later on in Billy's teenage years, he will start to rebel. He'll run away (as many teens do every year) and his parents will blame it on themselves. And they should. They banned youtube from their poor Billy's life. And from what? Because some stupid person but a bad video on youtube and your child just happened to watch it on accident.

Lesson learned: You can't ban youtube from a child's life. It just can't be done. Everyone uses youtube. Some may do it for research and others may use it for pleasure. And teach your kids to avoid bad kinds of stuff.
Lesson two: DON'T POST NASTY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE! YOU ARE CORRUPTING YOUNG PEOPLES MINDS!

10 Things You Should Hate About People

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the heck is yours? Do I point at my butt when I ask where the toilet is?
2. People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". You're darn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?
5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the stupid floor.
6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"..... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8. When people say "life is short". What the heck?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here?
10. When you and some others are watching TV and the one with the remote keeps changing the channel. Hello! Can't you just stay on one stinkin' channel until the show is over? I mean is it that hard to watch something for half-an-hour without switching the channel?

Now this is really what the world is like these days. Just because we have oil, that doesn't mean we have to use all of it. Using corn for fuel isn't better. Hello! We're in a food crisis for cryin' out loud!!

Drinking and Drugs

Why do people do drugs? Do they do it just to make themselves look cool? Harming your body is not the way to be cool. You won't even be alive for people to notice you. Drinking isn't any better. You get drunk and start throwing up your guts and then what? Continue with your day? You'll feel miserable until the next time you get drunk. What's the point in that? You can't just put your whole life into a drink.

Drugs kill thousands of people every year. Then why do you do them? Just to get away from life and say your cool. Dying is not the way to become cool. Sure you'll be mourned upon but your friends will be reminded that you dyed because you smoked or injected yourself with junk. How do you enjoy putting smoke into your body and trying to make your lungs collapse? There are so many great things you can do out there in the world and you resolve to drugs. Amazing how life turns out, right?

Drinking is a way to get away from life and forget all your worries. Instead of forgetting, why not try fixing your problems. Try saying sorry every once and a while! Getting caught drinking and driving will only add on to your many other sets of problems. Then why America, why do you drink? Okay it tastes good. That's an excellent excuse to drink it every single day. I like Coke but I don't drink it everyday. You don't need a drink like you need water. Water is there so you can survive. You don't need alcohol to survive.

If you're not afraid to die, then go ahead and go on drugs and drink 'til your heart's content! Go to jail! Be a drug addict and don't worry about a single thing! Life is one big give away, isn't it?

Some stuff you should know about George W. Bush

• he was a cheerleader (maybe he could do a little cheer for the solders in Iraq)
• he graduated from Yale University with a low C as his average
• he was the first president who entered the office with a criminal record (bad influence)
• he's been caught drinking and driving a few times
• he set the record for the most executions when he was governor
• his father got him to become president even with a loss of over 500,000 votes from people like you and I
• because he was scared to fight in Vietnam, he joined the Texas Armed Forces so he wouldn't have to fight (what a coward)

And this America, is who you put into office. Think twice before you act.

Celebrities. Who cares?

Why do we cherish celebrities like they're some sort of god. They're normal people like you and I. So what if they're in the best actor out there or the best album in the stores. Who cares? Do we have to follow them around like a bunch of dogs looking for food? The paparazzi sure have an excellent time digging for any kind of gossip they can find. And for what? So they can also join the long line of stars that we favor to this day. Celebrities dress up in their fancy gowns or in a neat tuxedo. Does it change the person they are? No! They could act like the kindest people on earth while donating extra money that they don't need to charities. It's always about getting the camera and spotlight shining right on them.

So when someone famous touches something of yours or anything for that matter, sell it on EBay and you get at least a few hundred dollars. Hello? Newsflash! They don't have a GOLD THUMB! Their autograph could be sold for thousands depending on how famous they are. If someone comes out of nowhere and gives you their autograph, you'll probably say, "I don't want your signature. Why would I need it anyways? It's not like I'm going to make money off of this."

Why should you care if a celeb gains an extra pound or gets caught eating a chocolate bar? Let's face it: America lives on gossip. It's just who we are. There are gossip magazines everywhere and you could know more about a certain celebrity than they know about themselves. It just goes to show that they don't have any privacy. I have to give them some of my sympathy. The paparazzi go nuts for every little thing they do. Why do they even have those gigantic mansion if there's only a couple of people living in it? And do they really have to have butlers, servants, and maids? Can't they do anything on their own without help? It's a miracle they can brush their teeth in piece.

Why is the world so corrupted? It's because of you. The people of America and the rest of the world that has destroyed this planet into Fame Mania. And I'm not saying this lightly. What you can do to stop this insanity is to quit watching the awards like Oscars and Academy. Who cares about who won which award? Does it impact your life somehow? No, I didn't think so. So just keep saying to yourself, "Who cares about celebrities."

What's the deal with meat?

Okay. So what's the deal with meat and the people who eat it these days. We've all heard of Mad Cow Disease so why do Americans and the rest of the world keep eating cows. And have you ever noticed that the people who don't eat meat are much healthier than the people who do eat it. Obesity is killing thousands of people every year! Do you people not realize this? Try watching the news every once-and-a-while! Vegetables are good for you and they won't cause you to get fat as easily as meat does. Then why are kids always so picky to eat a vegetable rather than stuff themselves with a piece of chicken or steak? Because their parents are the ones giving the example to their kids. Kids are getting fat everyday and what do you do? You put them on a pill or give them some sort-of surgery. Why not try going the more natural way. Tell them to go for a walk or start playing some sort-of sport. A better thing to do is to stop giving them meat. Your saving your child and your saving an innocent animal. I'm a vegetarian and I'm living a perfectly normal and healthy life. I don't take vitamins or anything and I'm perfectly fit.

Do you want to eat a cow (or any other animal for that matter) that's been cloned? The FDA claims that cloned animals are safe to eat. Do you really believe them? They may just be stated that just so the economy will improve. Do you really know if they ran some sort-of test or are just saying this junk so they can make a few bucks out of the meat you buy. On www.washingtonpost.com, they say, "The National Academy of Sciences in 2002 concluded that meat and milk from cloned cattle were unlikely to pose human health concerns, but it warned that there were few studies on which to base its conclusion." Now what are you supposed to believe? These are just a few examples of how corrupted the world can be.
