Driving can provoke thought.
Question:
When did Americans become so dumb?
What do they teach in school these days? I just don't get it. I am surrounded by a society that doesn't even know the difference between AFFECT, and EFFECT. Let me break it down for you. You will never use effect as a verb, unless you are a scientist. You probably aren't. And if you are a scientist, you must have a brain. You would already know the damn difference!
The only part I can cut some slack on, is who vs whom, I would say about 85% of people have NO IDEA when to properly use whom... or even know it is part of the English language.
We have people obsessed with phonetics, because of some stupid learn to read program that does nothing but teach us how to be terrible spellers. Sad. Learning to read takes time, and with ANY LANGUAGE, you must learn the exceptions, as there are always plenty. It is just sad to know that there are people out there, with English as their second, maybe third language, that can speak English better than our "Native Americans".
Speaking of, why must the history we teach our young ones be so biased, and almost entirely untrue. Why promote ignorance in the society of freedom and such high values? Granted, each society has it's own form of it's own history- try to find something on WWII in a German textbook. It's like the 40's never happened. But to teach kids, that our land was taken honestly, is beyond laughable. Why not teach the truth? Our land was stolen from those who lived here, and both genocide and severe oppression in turn formed a dysfunctional society, that had to war within itself to help decide how the law of the land was to be run. This somehow, magically, created the capitalistic country we live in today, that prides itself on the freedom and opportunity within. But to think this was achieved in a "kosher" manner, is just plain ridiculous. Then again, how do you teach a five year old that the big bad puritans gave syphillis to those red faced indians and murdered thousands of innocent lives; so you can celebrate Columbus Day and enjoy a feast on Thanksgiving? They do say, ignorance is bliss. Hmm...
More questions- why do people think they can get by without an education these days? If you are ever feeling down, watch an episode of Cops. How do these people function? Nevermind the fact these people are so fucking dumb, that they actually will sign the waiver to allow faces shown on tv. Wow. These aren't the 60's. Granted, many of our parents didn't go to college, they really didn't have to. They were able to get by on a booming economy where jobs were formed for people, and it was easy to pick up a certain trade or walk into something as entry level and BECOME a professional in that field. Guess what? No longer happening. Yet people think they can abandon high school and do what they want with their lives. Well I guess if food stamps, trailers, and drugs get you excited- rock on! Cause unless you have stupid fucking luck, and come up with some genius scheme like Girls Gone Wild, ebay, or the like... you are shit out of luck. And even those people needed brainpower to come up with the genius business ideas and marketing schemes that gave them fortune. That or they were puppets, with someone pulling the strings behind the scene. Sounds like another asshole I know. Some call him Gee Dub. I call him the prick that is killing thousands of our soldiers for no fucking good cause at all anymore except the rising price of gas. Fuck the president as well.
Can we take a minute to look at the role models we have today? Paris Hilton? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT USELESS WHORE GOOD FOR? A video that isn't even exciting or fun to jerk off to, I guess. She is so, so, so dumb I am amazed she can walk and chew gum at the same time. She honestly is good for nothing else than being naked and hypnotizing the men in this country. And yet, all these girls look up to her. That's good little Jenny, little Jilly, go suck a bunch of cock and video tape it, date as many stars as you can, and eat once a week, maybe twice, cause pooping is so NOT hot. Then you too, can be popular like Paris Hilton. Don't forget to act as dumb as humanly possible and feed off others' money, when you have more than enough of your own.
What about Barry Bonds? Sports superstar, right? I wonder how he went from a tiny baseball player in the early 90s to a huge homerun hitter with a head that is probably a size 8 1/2... hmm. That's right, people love you if you cheat to do well. Babe Ruth is a true baseball hero. Everything he did, he earned. He was a hero and a national icon. Barry Bonds is a fucking juicehead loser that hasn't earned half the shit he is "given credit" for by many. Fuck him too.
Do I sound bitter? I'm sorry, a lot of random things go through my head, they need to be addressed and brought to the light so others can hate like I can. Because as fun as love may be, a little hate here and there is only healthy.
I probably had more to say, but I will keep it to here for now. I have things to do (not really, but I can pretend I am important here and there)
I'M OUT!

Telling kids about the Pilgrims and Indians is like telling them about Santa Claus; however one belief fades by the age of 12 and the other is never replaced by fact.
