Its been awhile since I've posted anything, but this really ticked me off.
I am sure you all have seen or heard about the video that 6 teen girls made while beating the living hell out another girl. Along with the 6 girls there were two teen boys who stood outside the house and kept "guard" while the beating took place.
Now, I am sure that the parents of these little skanks have alot to be proud of. Career mommy was of in her corporate office while these little "honeys" were being raised by anyone other than themselves. Gee wiz mom, I hope your new Lexus SUV was worth it.
Also, I am sure that the fathers of the boys are just thrilled that their sons did nothing to help this young lady. Oops, I am sorry, I'll bet these boys don't think of girls as "ladies", more like bitches. To those boys fathers, my hat is off to you. You sat around and taught your sons nothing about the way women should be treated. Oh, I forgot, daddy was out playing pool with the guys, or having wings and beer at the local Hooters instead of being home with his kids, because , hey, that ain't cool. Or maybe you taught the boys that manners and decency weren't your job, it was up to the school system, huh? Did you teach them how to fart the alphabet at the dinner table, or to clean their toe nails with a coat hanger? All the while telling your wife to "shut the hell up".
A little exaggerated? Not so much. Am I blaming the parents? Not really, but the kids learned how to treat others from someone!! These 6 girls and 2 boys need to be held responsible for their actions and prosecuted as ADULTS. I want to see all of these parents on national television and I want to hear how they try to talk their kids out of this. I want to see what today's "open minded" parents look like. I want to see what these parents, who didn't put the friggin fear of God in those little brats, look like. Were they worried about hurting the kids self esteem? Oh, my, you wouldn't want to make your kids feel bad, now do you?
I know what you are going to say. Save it. There is no excuse for ganging up on anyone just because you can. Children who are raised properly and taught the difference between right and wrong don't do crap like this!! A good ass whippin' several years ago would have benefited these 8 lovely children immensely. Now, I hope the law locks their little asses up for a good long while.
God love that girl's father. Only the Lord can be keeping him from going absolutely nuts on these little scum-sucking maggots. Wait, wait, wait......one minute here. Could he be showing some restraint? Being a good example? I don't know. I don't know him or any of his family, but all I have to say is God love him, he is a better man than I am. If six kids ever ganged on one of my kids, God help them. There would be NO man or municipality that would keep me from beating them within an inch of their lousy stinking worthless lives!!
You all wonder why I am cynical. I am a realist. I see what we as a society are turning out because of our "open thinking" and progressive thought process.
We need to get our minds BACK on our family and raising decent human beings and quit worrying so much about "finding ourselves"and "being all we can be" and filling our lives with a bunch of useless crap. Start worrying about sending your kids out into the world as productive, considerate ladies and gentlemen.
Finally, as a Christian, I am commanded to pray for these children and their families. As a human I find that very difficult to do, but with Gods help I will. Maybe some day these 8 children will see the horror in what they have done and will feel real remorse.

"..And on the eighth day God created the DVR.."
God bless the DVR (Digital video recorder).
I remember back in the eighties when my family got our first VCR, I thought I heard the angels singing and thinking "Could it get any better than this?" I mean I could buy a single blank video tape and put as many as 3 movies on it. Yeah, okay, the picture quality suffered with 3 movies on one tape, but hey, I could watch them over and over again.
Jump forward to March 2007. After a couple of months of consideration and a nudge or two from my wife, I decided to upgrade my cable package to include high-speed Internet, digital phone service, expanded cable channels and a new cable box with DVR. It took me less than an hour to realize the gem I had added to my television set-up. I could pause "live" tv, rewind, playback and not miss one minute of anything!! I don't have to miss what the weather will be or the highlights of the Browns game, or watch Tony Stewart complaining about someone during NASCAR.
Here is the downside. In the year that I have had my DVR, I have noticed a disturbing realization. I can record the dumbest things with just a touch of a button. I have found myself recording things that, when I look back at the recorded items, I have to scratch my head and wonder what I was thinking. It is amazing how with 60 hours of available space, I have managed to have close to 35 hours of crap! It is just too easy to be looking through the on-screen tv guide to say to myself, "hmm, that looks interesting" and hit the record button, only to find later that I have lost my mind...I just recorded "Oprah".
I looked through the book that came with my DVR, but found nothing about "Degenerative Intelligent Recording Syndrome" . I am just thankful that the "Vagina Monologues" are not on any channels that I am capable of recording. I believe that I have begun to lose the ability to make intelligent recording decisions. Someone should take the remote away from me before I humiliate myself by setting the DVR to record every "American Idol" broadcast or one of those stupid dance shows with Marie Osmond.
Every person who owns a DVR has their dirty little secrets hidden inside that convenient little box. The first step is to admit it. I have. Can you?

Animals are smarter we are
This is turning into a long winter. We humans aren't as smart as we give ourselves credit for. think about it, we wake up every morning, look outside, see the snow and grumble. We freeze our tails off shoveling snow out of the way, just to go back out in it. I don't believe that humans were built to live in this mess.
Here is why animals are smarter than us. Bears hibernate. A great escape from the cold and snow. That's all good and fine except for the fact that several months of your life is wasted. No, the smartest animal has a brain about the size of the tip of my nose. BIRDS!!! Now they've got it together! As soon as it starts getting they get out of dodge!! They do it by instinct. Cold=death. Warmth=life. Hmm, we have that instinct, but it takes some of us almost 70 years to get the idea. Go to southern Florida this time of year and ask any of the white-haired gentlemen or the blue-haired ladys why they are there.....Anwer? BECAUSE COLD AIR STINKS!!! It is not conducive to life in any way!!
So my friends, lets get wise. Pack up our homes, pack up our cars and move south for the winter and lets get warm.

Could they possibly get any more out of touch??
I wish I could find some coverage of the Presidential candidates somewhere! I keep searching the news channels and can't find one single news story about the candidates.!!
No, I am not serious. I have had it up to my ears with the upcoming election. Several times a day I turn on the cable news channels just to see what is happening. Apparently, nothing of any importance is happening besides candidates spewing political crap. CNN, CNN Headline News, FOX,and MSNBC cover this stuff from every possible angle and even some angles that I didn't think was possible!! Caucus after caucus, its the same story. Political "experts" predict who is going to win this caucus or that. When they are wrong, they can't figure it out, so they talk it to death and try to predict the next one. We are going to be know as the generation who talked themselves to death. A generation of news anchors and reporters that look like Chatty Kathy dolls with a pull string on their chest, that they pull by themselves. Blah, blah, blah...(pull string again) Blah, blah blah (pull string again) etc, etc.
This is the information age. All we need is an Internet connection, even a slow dial-up will do, to find out all the information we need to decide who to vote for and why. What we don't need is cable news turning it into a drama of some twisted kind to entertain us. I don't need to be influenced, I can make up my own mind, thank you. I don't care how hot Robin Meade is or how cute and funny Sheppard Smith is or how rude and nasty Bill O'Rielly and Keith Olberman are. By the time November 8 rolls around, I am so sick of hearing about it that I would vote for Brian the dog just to shut them up and get them to go away!!

Now, on the other hand, I sure don't want to hear another story about Britney Spears and her drama du jour. For the record, I predict that she will be found dead before the year is up, either by suicide or accidental overdose, but that's another story. How about some storys that center on what we Americans care about. Lets see, maybe having someone explain to me why it takes $25.00 to fill my Toyota's gas tank? Did I mention that I don't have a Toyota SUV, but rather a small Paseo with a 1.5 liter engine and an 8 GALLON TANK!!! Man, it wasn't that long ago that I could take a $10 bill to the gas station, fill up the Toyota AND fill the gas can for my lawn mower!! Spend a day trying to explain how we got into a situation like that and I'll watch the news all day long. Aww, who cares. I'd still end up ticked off and yelling at the TV anyway. I think I'll go find someones dog to kick.

Opinions are like certain body parts..we all got 'em
Everyone knows that we all have an opinion on just about every subject. Will all opinions be the same? Of course not. There are over 300 million people in this country today and there are 300 million different ideas about everything.
What I have been noticing here lately, is that acceptance of someone elses opinion or idea is quickly disappearing. Watch the network news just one day and you'll see. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CNN etc are all showing the intolerance of an individual idea. Newspapers are no different. They tend to pick a side an any story and report it the way they see fit. Fine. But, I challenge anyone to send them an editorial or a letter to the editor that challenges them on their position, and see if it gets published. I have done this many times and I have to say that 8 out of 10 times it won't get published. When I send letters that agree with them, more than 50% of the time it will get published. Coincidence? Maybe.
Check out message boards or places like Craigslist.com and look at the Rants and Raves section. It can be very upsetting to see someone attacked persaonally because their view differed from another. I have been called every name in the book because I dared to challenge a liberal idea publicly. These so-called people of tolerance have no tolerance what so ever. And what it worse is that they won't attack me publicly on the craigslist website, they send me an e-mail like a coward and question my heritage and even wish me dead. I have been called everything from a hate-monger to a war-monger to a hater in general.
Some people just can't get their thick skulls around the concept that I can love the person, but criticize the action or lifestyle. I love my kids, but that doesn't mean that I won't jerk a knot in their tails if they get out of line. I know many people with whom I don't agree with their lifestyle or business methods, but I love them just the same, for the person they are.
When are we going learn to "agree to disagree" and keep being civil to each other.

A rave for a friend
Please visit www.DebbieJansen.com . Debbie is a very close friend and confidant whom I have known for almost 15 years. She and her husband Ron, also a dear friend, have been with me through good times and bad. The word "friend" is not adequate enough to explain what they mean to me. In a world of self-serving behavior, back biting and gossip, they are just good people. I trust them with any aspect of my life. What I tell them stays with them. Period. If I ask for prayer, I know they will lift me up and pray for me. God has blessed me with friends that shine with love and kindness, and I will always thank Him for Ron and Debbie.
Check out Debbie's website. It is filled with hope, fun and just plain old good reading. Not a day goes by that I don't stop by Debbie's site and and see what she has to say.
I hope you all can say you have friends like mine.

Winter Blues
Anyone who likes winter weather is out of their mind.
How can anyone like looking out of the window and see the remnants of what was once a beautiful tree, or that barf colored mess that six months ago was your lawn. I tend to flip flop back and forth about which I hate worse, the snow or the cold. I suppose there is enough hate in me to hate them both equally.
I know of people who just live for this junk. You know the type, people who LOVE to ski, or ice skate outside or build a snowman. Give me a break. Let me put some logic to this "Winter Sports" insanity.
First of all, why would any somewhat intelligent person strap 5 feet of slippery wood to their feet? We spend hours just trying to keep from slipping on our sidewalks and driveways, so why on creation would I want to slide down the side of a hill, out of control I might add, to my death. Oh, I'm being dramatic you say? Ask Sonny Bono!!! Point made. Don't forget the wind chill factors from going 50 mph straight down! Anyway, you get the point.
People who try to convince me to get over it and just deal with it, just don't get it. Let me put it simply, I HATE BEING COLD!!! That's why I don't swim (aside from the fact that I am not going to burden anyone with having to look at me in shorts) I end up freezing my can off. Anyone who knows me at all, knows that if I get cold, I WILL complain without ceasing!
To anyone who likes this crap we are dealt for 4 months of the year, go have your head examined!
I'll see everyone in the spring.
