Stupid Things People Do - Family

There are lots of stupid things people do.  One of them is something far too many people do during the Holidays.  Not only do people eat way too much during the Holidays, as though it's an excuse to indulge, People are often too lazy.

That's right, People sit around doing much of nothing on the Holidays.  Instead of sitting down on your butt, why not for a change get up and play games with the kids or something.

I was spending time with my Second Cousins and someone just had to say something.  Good thing I didn't hear them say anything.  Something about me spending too much time with them.  Bah, that's a bunch of B.S. if you ask me.  Tell me something, what's wrong with people spending time with their family?  What's wrong with people actually playing with the younger generation?  Remember when we were kids?  We used to run around the yard like there was no tomorrow.

And this is why people will always be fat.  Too fricken lazy to get off their butt's.  Instead, they'd rather sit around and socialize.  Yeah, like that's really productive?  When you're trying to lead an active lifestyle, sometimes, the best way to do that, is getting out their with the kids in your family.

This is the exact reason why some families split apart and they don't even talk to each other.  Because people don't spend enough time with them when they are little.  This is the kind of ignorance we need to shy away from.  Many Christians believe there will come a time when the Blind will lead the Youth.  I think that time is now.  It's happening right in our own families.  People are so stupid, so blind, so self centered, that they'll quickly point out something that THEY, don't think is quite right.

Is this a Society of Ignorant, Baffling Fools that we live in?  I don't know about you, but I'd say half of my family is about Brain Dead.  What say you?

Things I Can't Stand. Pet Peeves.

There are things in life that we can't stand.  I'm going to go through a list of things I can't stand and tell you why.

- Religion.  I have to say this up front.  While I do believe in a higher power, not everyone believes in the same God you do.  Not everyone has the same belief system you do.  Much of it has to do with the knowledge we posses.  My belief, Religion SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT, it should be LEARNED.  With that said, Religious folk are often the first to point the finger when someone gets into trouble.  What ever happened to love thy neighbor, love thy enemy.  Pointing the finger and cursing them isn't doing that.  Often times people point the finger because they are just as guilty of something equally bad.  When people learned to walk the walk, I'll follow a religion.

- Women that think they can change a man.  Women often times try to make a man do something he doesn't want to do.  For example, if you tried to make me quit playing video games, I'd get pissed off and probably ditch you for another girl.  There are just some things you just don't do.  If you are in love, you're in love with all of them, not parts of them.  Get used to it.  They aren't the person you fell in love with if you change them.

- Women that get pissed off when a guy looks at another woman.  Yep, that pisses me off too.  Truth be known, women look at other men too.  When you're out with your friends on the beach checking out the guy with the six pack abs, keep that in mind.  People are going to look at other people, and it pisses me off when women get upset about, especially when they do the exact same thing.

- Men that only care about one thing.  Getting in a girls pants.  Yes men aren't excluded from this list.  If all you really care about is getting into a girls pants and not settling down, maybe you should go jump off a cliff.  You are a disgrace to humanity.  You give men a bad name.  Come on guys, be a little realistic here.

- People who don't recycle.  This pisses me off too.  We're running out of Oil and have plenty of renewable resources, yet, we aren't even making an effort to reduce the amount of those renewable resources we need.  Try recycling for a change, it would to the world good.  The Germans are way ahead of you on that one.  If you went to Germany and through away a can that could be recycled, someone would probably get onto you about that.  The Germans are big on recycling.

- Idiotic Thinking.  Yeah, I'm guilty of this, but at least I admit when I'm wrong.  Contrary to popular belief, you're not always right.  Truth be known, we're probably wrong more often than we're right.  If we were right more often than wrong, the world wouldn't be as messed up as it is.  It's time to get off our one track mind way of thinking and start using our brains a little.  This is one reason why I want to travel the world and experience different cultures.  Seeing how others think is a great way to grow and experience life the way it was meant to be.

- Haters.  I can't stand people that have nothing to do than to hate on other people.  It's quite common on Youtube.  I see it all the time, such comments like: "You should go kill yourself," "You should jump off a cliff," "This is so f*d up."  You get the idea.  I've go some news for all those haters.  If you're hating on a video, you're only increasing the comment count.  If you don't like a particular band, then why do you keep watching the videos just so you can comment on them?  If I don't like a band, I simply don't listen to them.  That's the best way to get your message across.  Don't like something?  Stop using the product.  Letters and comments have very little effect, contrary to popular belief.

Well, you know a little bit about what annoys me.  How do people manage to deal with these pet peeves?  I honestly believe that we don't really get over them.  We learn to be more tolerable of them.  If weren't that tolerable, Science wouldn't have come as far as it has.  We wouldn't be where we're at today, but is that a bad thing?

Things You Must Do Before Traveling To A Foreign Country

People love to travel.  Especially Americans.  Americans put so much money into travel, but there are a few things that you need to do before you leave the country.  This applies to anyone really.

- Get a Passport.  This should be a no brainer.  Should be the first thing you do.  Months ahead of time.

- Pick up a phrase book or language program.  Far too many Americans travel to a foreign country and expect them to be able to speak English.  Contrary to popular belief, English is not a Universal language.  At least learn enough of the language that you can get around, order food, tell time, count currency, and ask for directions.  You'll be glad you did.

- Don't pack to heavy.  You're not moving there, so don't pack the suitcase full of stuff you don't need.  Want to take books?  I've heard of people taking a Kindle with them on their travels to lesson the load of books.  You don't need a weeks worth of clothing either.  If you need more clothing, buy it when you get there.  Only pack one bag and one carry on.  You'll thank me later.

- Buy a map before you go.  You'll be surprised how much time having the right map will save.

- When you finally get there.  Don't be a typical tourist.  The gems of the country are often found where the locals go.  Want a good spot to eat?  Ask a few of the locals.

Follow these few tips and your next trip will be much lighter and a lot more fun.

Stupid Things People Do

This post is titled Stupid Things People Do.  I'm thinking about making this series of post.  In other words, either a daily, or weekly post.  Probably daily.  There is so much that people do that are just stupid.  Here's one of them

So, today's post is about Car Manufactures.  When you go to the Car Dealer, to purchase a new car.  One might consider asking, if they come with a spare tire.  What, seriously?

Yep, today's stupid things is that Car Manufactures are starting to not put Spare tires in cars.  Why?  What's the method behind the madness?  Their point of view is to make the car lighter and more fuel efficient.  Seriously?  Sense when does taking out a donut tire make the car more fuel efficient?

My point is this.  Cars have always come with a spare tire.  Why?  That adds to the safety features of the car.  Maybe not in the minds of the sellers, but in the minds of the consumer.  How often have you been down the road and needed a spare tire?  Chances are, not very often, yet it's still nice to have that spare.  It's a comfort to most people.  And people are starting to take note.  There are numerous other things you can do to a car to make it more fuel efficient.

Next time you go to a dealer.  Make sure the car has a spare tire.
