YOU'RE GRADUATING? ... AGAIN!?
Too much graduating is bad for the soul.
So, my brother's 4 and he's graduating from Pre-K. Yep. Isn't that the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard of? ... He's 4, he has no concept of graduating. All he knows is that he gets to eat cake and act a damn fool. In fact, I'm pretty sure he thinks it's someone's birthday. Hell, knowing him, he probably thinks it's his freakin' birthday.
This is the new way though. Kids graduate from Pre-K, Kindergarten, 5th grade, 8th grade, and then high school. When I was a kid, which wasn't that long ago, you graduated high school and if you were lucky, college. That was it.
Graduation, altogether has become insane. Honestly, I can attend four graduation ceremonies when I graduate from college. Four. Really? Why the hell would I want to sit through four graduation ceremonies voluntarily. Hell, my family will be drunk halfway through ceremony one. What do you think it's lookin' like for ceremonies two, three, and four? ... not good.
Can we chill out with the graduation ceremonies a little bit, America? ... after all, they are kind of rude for four-year-olds. At that age, it's more like talking crap: "Congratulations, you are about to start school." Low blow. Low freakin' blow.

DON'T CRY, EVERYONE'S A WINNER
Absolutely, 100% FALSE!!
Hello America. How are you feeling? Of course you're feeling great because no matter what we're all winners at life. This is what we're teaching our youth. It's a damn disgrace and we should be disgusted with ourselves for instilling such lies into their brains!
Everyone is not always a winner, especially at life. If this were a true statement, there would be no homelessness, no foster care, no jails or prison. Some people are just complete losers ... and thank God they are. I mean, if the world was void of losers, there would be no sense of winners. One cannot exist without the other.
Modern-day society is so set on the "everyone's a winner" mentality that most youth sports teams are no longer keeping score! What?? What the hell is the point of playing? What's the motivation? ... to have fun? It's not fun when you accomplish something and the recognition is the same as if you did nothing! Today's youth have basically been stripped of any sense of achievement which, in turn, devoids them of having any pride.
Stop it, America. Quit doing your children this injustice. Didn't we already do enough damage by telling girls they'll meet Prince Charming and telling boys they're wussies if they show any sense of concern or emotion in life? It's a damn shame... STOP IT.

THE HEALTH CARE CRISIS
Screw your health care bill.
Why does the US government find it necessary to impose a ridiculously complicated and unfavorable solution to the health care crisis in America? The solution to me is much more simple than forcing people to pay for something that they may or may not want. Wouldn't it be much more simple to fix the problems that currently exist with health care? It seems to me that there are two basic and necessary things that we could change right now to heal the health care situation:
1.) stricter rules on malpractice suits to include a reasonable cap on amounts
This would instantly drop the cost of malpractice insurance which would then cause a significant drop in the fees that doctors charge for their procedures.
2.) sound guideline enforcement on health insurance companies.
Currently, insurance is a complete and total scam. Point blank. Once you have paid them a crap-ton of money for the coverage and the hefty deductible, then the insurance company comes up with ridiculous reasons why they won't cover whatever it is you need. I recently paid $300 for a 4-month plan with a $300 deductible ... the coverage expires in 2 weeks and the insurance company has not paid a dime. So basically, they just stole $300 from me. Completely unacceptable if not just wrong. Health insurance companies are Kings of hiding the truth in 9pt font. To me, the whole system is fraudulent and unacceptable. Enforcing mandatory coverage rules on insurance companies ensures that American's are getting what they're promised when they sign up. The rules only need to apply for medically necessary procedures, obviously I'm not saying that the companies should have to pay for you to look good, but they should pay for you to be, well ... healthy.
Besides being complicated and overbearing, there are a million other things wrong with Obama's ridiculous health care bill.
1.) The government can't properly run any institution intended to benefit citizens, just look at what currently exists. I recently called the VA, in the middle of an emergency situation, to ask if they would cover me going to any nearby hospital because their closest one is an hour away. The nurse who took my call said yes. I then get a bill from the hospital telling me that I owe them a crap-ton of money because the VA says they will not pay for it. Really? The nurse basically lied to me because she "is medically obligated to tell me to go to the hospital." Great except I did not ask her whether I should go to a hospital or not, idiots. Shady. Absolutely 100% shady.
2.) With government regulation, it will take .0 seconds for the quality of health care to go to complete crap. When we look at current countries with this type of system, we can see that this is obvious. Government regulations make it hard for doctors to actually do their job.
3.) Enforcement. How will the government impose enforcement of these "fees"? Do they plan on sending non-payers to jail or continuing to charge them additional fees? ... basically, making people pay for stuff without giving them the option, pisses them off. History has proven this time and time again.
So the bottom line and last thing I have to say is this:
Screw You and your stupid ass health care bill, Obama. We, the people, deserve something better.
