Politically Correct sucks
So I asked my uncle (being all wise) what’s the point of “Season’s Greetings!” He told me that it’s a nice phrase to use because it doesn’t alienate any one type of person. “there are all different types of people”, he told me. I was shocked. I thought everyone in the U.S. was a non-practicing Shiite Muslim. “Season’s Greetings” works for watered down homogenous corporations in huge advertising campaigns. The problem is I find myself saying, “Season’s Greetings” to my friends and family when all I want to say is, “Happy Christmas.”

geesh i was 16 once
In some countries it’s practically impossible to get your freaking drivers liscence. I lucked out. In Indiana if you get a B or higher in drivers ed. (which is a course you take at your high school taught by random high school teachers), then you don’t have to take the driving test. It’s really sweet. All I had to do was walk in to the department of motor vehicles, take a 25 question multiple choice exam, and pose for my liscence. Sweet.

Time to go home…..forever.
Today is officially my last full day in college. I’m moving home, out of the dorms, and living with my parents for the rest of the year. I start my student teaching on January 7th. Thank goodness it’s over.

Child Free
I’d really like to fist-fight the self-agrandizing child-free crowd. If only their parents had chosen to be child free. Take for example this fella.

Child Free-Ghetto

I don’t know what his name is, but I’m sure that he gets lots and lots of traffic into his anti-child site by paying for advertising on blogger.com. That’s how I came across this misanthrope. Not only is the entire blog based around the idiotic fact that he hates children, but it’s on tripod. How lame. Anyone who fills their day complaining about the same thing over and over obviously needs some therapy. It didn’t surprise me to find him completly intolerant of anyone with religious beliefs.

“Ever heard of a Living Nativity? That’s when Jeezoids act out a Nativity scene, usually on the front lawn of a church. The best ones are the Drive-Thru Nativities, in which you can drive through the church parking lot and see various scenes surrounding the birth of Christ acted out by your local fundies.”

The majority of the child-free crowd spends their time harrassing parents and writing on e-groups pumping up their own egos. For example, you can read the “spinal fortitude” awards. Which basically boils down to who can be the biggest prick to people who have children

Spinal Fortitude Awards

They feel persecuted by a society that wants to reproduce. Geesh. Sorry for being normal. Sorry that we don’t live up to your standards. Your hatred for everyone un-like you is noted.

The child free society sees the end of people as an end to problems such as poverty, domestic abuse, child abuse, crime. They will also go so far as to say that having children are a cause of these problems.

After all, the main cause of domestic violence is getting married and being in a family

I don’t even feel the need to argue with this type of quasi-logic. I’ll just let them not reproduce, and live my life. I hope that’s what they actually want. I don’t think they’d ever go so far as to start forcing people to contracept and have abortions. Oh wait. They already have. China.

Lack of creativity, sleep…
Why is it that all web logs have to have the same layout? Not only that, but why does every weblogger have to have an insane nack for web design? What do you get when you add those two things together? Really good looking, but boringly designed sites, with comments about socks. I commented about socks a while back. I guess that makes me a weblogger!!!!
