too busy at work so it took me way to long to update this post. LOL looks like rigid beat me to the att conspiracy...damn you!:



monopolies definitely suck, but our government really doesn't do anything about it. they make it seem like they do, but they allow these giants the ability to "do business as" other entities...which they're not. so long as the public THINKS they have choices it's okay, but we don't.



at&t is proof that we don't. you have verizon? oooh. verizon provides your telephone service not at&t? ooooh. think again! verizon has BETTER wireless service...guess what? same shiz people. sorry!



here's where i'm going with this. yahoo hooked up with at&t. no wait, let me back up. yahoo hooked up with flickr, my trusty photography storage site which i used to pay a yearly subscription fee for unlimited monthly storage. the next thing i know i'm suddenly NOT paying anything at all(that was nice of them right?). i'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes, but come to find out that at&t bought out yahoo (i need to pay more attention to my reuters).



now google is hooking up with yahoo? YAHOO??? you're shitting me. at&t will soon rule our internet. RULE it and all it's communications. it already hands over our personal information to the government. now the only thing that's missing is a governing authority which oversees communications on the internet.



like the FCC but not... maybe it'll be called the Federal Internet Communications Commission....

Federal Usurper Communications of Internet Activity or FUCIT-A for short. before you know it we'll have to watch everything we say here, not because we look like the morons that we (meaning i) are, but because you'll be jailed for speaking your mind against the powers that be.



i don't know about you, but looking like a dummy because i tend to curse too much or speak openly about the things i do is something i'm willing to deal with. being censored is something i am NOT. there have been enough things going on in this country that make me want to leave it entirely, not that england would be any better.



good lord...how did i turn this into a censorship rant?

GA Rep. Lynn Westmoreland: Obama's Uppity

GA REP. LYNN WESTMORELAND: OBAMA'S 'UPPITY'

The GOP's white sheet is showing (again) as the Congressman from Georgia sets his inner bigot free. There's a reason the RNC has hit a record low in black…

dude, i wouldn't jump on the bandwagon either. the democrats said this, the republicans said that...it gets everyone absolutely no where.

the problem is that if it weren't effective it wouldn't be used as a weapon.

for example:

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said that Obama's middle name – Hussein – is relevant to the public discourse surrounding his candidacy, saying in March that if Obama were elected, "Then the radical Islamists, the al Qaeda, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror."

when you read a statement like that, what goes through your mind? the word BULLSHIT goes off in my mind, but you'd be surprised just how many people believe it. it's sad. it's sad beyond words. the gamers i play with aren't idiots. we're all adults, we all have fairly good jobs, some MUCH better than others. i know wealthy gamers, poor gamers, educated and non, but none of that matters because when it comes down to it scared shitless is scared shitless.

when the people we look to for guidance can so very easily say such ignorant things it's no wonder over half the people i've talked to believe the same thing. it's unreal....absolutely unreal.

statements like that say only one thing to me. our education system does not work. it clearly doesn't help people learn a damn thing. these are the types of people we allow to run our country.

this is SCARY. it matters not to me that it came from a republican or a democrat...there are people just like that everywhere. they drive cars!!!

Drivers who throw cigarette butts out the window

GREAT TOPIC @WHALL!

guilty while driving though i'm the type of person that will put out a ciggy out on the street, pick it up and throw it in the trash. people look at me like i'm insane.

i used to have a friend who worked for the city. he'd just toss things out of the window or leave trash in parking lots. i'd get angry at him and his response was, "people need jobs. i'm helping guys like me keep them." i saw his point, but i still disagreed with him.

still, if anyone came up to me while on the road and tried to toss my butt at me i'd get out and beat the living shit out of them. it's understandable that someone would feel this particular offense is so aggravating that it could force them to do something that they wouldn't normally do, but we all do crap that we shouldn't and no one needs to tell us that we shouldn't be doing it. why? there are programs out there that do it for us. i say that's much safer for ones health.

so what are some examples of other things we should or should not be doing that we need to be reminded of?:

washing your car in your driveway = oil much?

paper or plastic?

re-using your grocery store trash bags...(think you're doing anyone a favor?)

cleaning your home with chemicals. (yes, they're harsh chemicals and they do harm the environment regardless!)

medication down the toilette (and i'm not just talking about crack)

peeing in the shower (don't lie, hold your hand up!)

picking your nose and shaking someone's hand (liars! all of you!!)

using papertowels to clean your home. (it's actually really bad.)

disposable anything (swiffer! i use it. i'm a rebel.)

change the oil in your car (where did you put the oil?)

batteries (let me guess...trash)

electronics (wait...dumpster)

handicapped parking spaces (you know you've done it.)



man...i could go on all day. LMAO!

i say, don't worry about things like that too much dear. there are more important things to worry about. the fact that people are rude will never change. you start letting things like that tick you off and you'll end up having a heart attack.

when people start pissing me off i just ask myself this, "what's going on with me that has me so on edge?" it's usually something about me or my life (something that i should or shouldn't be doing) and has nothing to do with anyone at all.

hope you have a better day tomorrow! :)
