Ahhh, religion...

Well, many Christian groups are in a furor over the release of the movie, The DaVinci Code." Calls are out for boycotting the movie, and many are screaming that the movie (and book) is blasphemous, yada, yada, etc...

Imagine if the movie was about Muslims....!!!!

National Law Enforcement Memorial Week

Monday is National Law Enforcement Memorial Day, and is also the beginning of National Police Week.

If you haven't thanked a police officer for working shitty hours, for mediocre pay, and putting up with other peoples' bullshit, then this week would be a good time to do it. Honor those men and women who run towards danger when others run away. Honor those who unlock your cars, chase snakes out of your garage, arrest drunks, and die trying to serve their communities.

Of course, you are probably one of those people who don't even think about cops unless you need one. Or, you criticize the police for not stopping speeders in your neighborhood, and then you bitch when you get stopped and issued a ticket for speeding in somebody else's neighborhood.

Addictions aren't diseases

One of the things that really burns my ass today is when somebody does something wrong, and when they get caught they blame it on their "addiction," and call it a disease. I don't care what the government and doctors say, an addiction is not a disease.

Blaming an addiction/disease for your actions just reinforces my argument that people today do not want to take responsibility for their own actions.

People aren't forced to smoke their first cigarette. People aren't forced to take their first hit of illegal narcotics. People know that they shouldn't be abusing prescription narcotics, but they do it anyway. How is this a disease? These are life choices.

Then, one night, they drive like an ass and crash into a barricade. Oh, me, oh, my! It's not my fault, I have an addiction. I have a disease. Please take pity on me! I need rehab.

One of the things that going to rehab supposedly does is keep you from getting your addicting substance while giving you a lot of time to contemplate your addiction and your place in life.

Guess what? Jail provides the same benefits.

Typical Kennedy

Patrick Kennedy, son of shithead Ted Kennedy, crashes his car into a police barricade, staggers out of his vehicle, and then gets a happy ride home because of his political standing. He denies being impaired by alcohol. Typical Kennedy. Being under the influence of any impairing substance, whether it is alcohol, OTC drugs, illicit drugs, or prescription drugs is all the same. I guess we should be happy he wasn't driving a female passenger across a bridge!

Why, why, why do you people up north keep electing these dumbshit Kennedy's?

My boycott

I've decided to boycott the boycotters. No more Mexican food for me (at least at the places that closed for the boycott).

There is no doubt, I am a lucky man!










 

They aren't very smart, either.

So one of our local Mexican restaurants closed down on Monday to participate in the national one-day boycott being done by Mexicans. Whoa! They really showed me. They lost a day of work, a day of wages, and a day of profit by not opening. Hell, I didn't even feel like eating Mexican, anyway. For what it's worth, I didn't even know the damned store had closed until I read the paper this morning.

Yup, they really showed me!
