Journalism

To be a journalist nowadays is apparently to not do real journalism.

Why being an Athelete is the best job ever

You get paid for playing a Sport

You're famous

You can murder someone and get away with it

You can commit a crime against someone and pay them off out of court and admit no guilt

CAT funds shark research

Seems like a strange endeavor. With all the complaints on how they treat their employees and former employees they have the money for something as far reaching from their business as shark research? I know they have the money to do this, but, they should focus on the employees that make their company great. There are companies that are good to work for. According to the people that work for CAT, it is not. People are leaving CAT over benefits. Now they are funding Shark Research.

American Soldier

The American Sniper was murdered
He took the soldier he was trying to console of PTSD to a gun range. Guess he wasn't that intellectual. Psychologists don't take suicide patients to a knife party. Sounds like a typical headstrong soldier to me. Hope others integrate better.

A la carte tv programming



 

 

We pay a huge amount of money to get the few channels we like and when those channels have repeats or something uninteresting on the other 200 channels have bullshit on. Is this why they give us recording options? Because we pay for 200 channels that are GARBAGE?
Why do we keep putting up with this shit? Why do we keep paying for channel 270 that shows vaccuum shark and channels 263 and 147 and 341 have the same infomercial on at 4 in the afternoon? Why is that the norm? Why do we choose the company that advertises the most channels for slightly more channels only to watch 1/98th of them? Why, in 2013, do we not have A LA Carte? Why can't we choose and pay for the channels we want? Why do i pay a big chunk of my paycheck to a cable company for certain channels plus a Bunch of channels that no one on earth gives a shit about just to have them threaten me that they might be lost later. Why does that make them feel better? Profits?
Why are the cable companies allowed to pay off the government in order to deny this sensible idea? A la Carte?
I am guessing that the cable companies know that they will loose their ass if people choose A LA Carte. They got together and thought, Yes We will loose our asses, We should band together and hire a big fat lobbyist and bribe the gov't and make sure the people pay for what they don't want. We have exhausted all our advertising outlets. The people don't care and they are catching on that we don't care and are absolute liars.
Why do I pay for the advertised 240 channels for 100 bucks a month? I don't know.  Atleast half the channels are infomercials. I don't want to pay for that shit. I really like relaxing in my bed on Saturday and flipping through the channels. 100 hundred bucks a month for a flip show...I guess the middle class doesn't deserve TV. If anyone needs that many QVC channels you know it would be the rich bitches in Beverly Hills that shit out money...

Failed the Post Office too
Back in the early days of America periodicals were cheap and sending regular correspondence was not. Then it all changed and people sent vast amounts of mail. But with that businesses sent a bulk amount of junk and spam and solicitations.
Fast forward to today, this vast amount of unwanted business junk...is it good or bad and why is the Post Office failing?

College education



To be a file clerk you need a college education

Seriously? To be a file clerk? Atleast 2 years of college education? These companies must work for the government.

pretty sure this is not what college is supposed to teach our kids.

If high school basketball players want to skip college and go to the NBA what is wrong with that?  Colleges don't have enough money?
Tuitions keep fucking rising and Rising AND Rising. It seems that these atheletes don't make the campus itself money but it fattens the balls of Chancelors ballsacks with dollar signs.

Cop Precaution

Seatbealts and Sirens aren't enough
A man dies with his seatbelt on in a crash. A cop rushes into the action and gets into another wreck. We have all seen Pekin cops turn on their lights and turned on the speed and raced down the streets here. Was it a surprise that a cop got into a wreck?

why not Wednesday?
instead of making people get a day here and a day there without there mail, you chose to fuck them two days in a row. So, people that get their important mail on Monday now get their mail on Tuesday... for all you mothers that get your child support on monday, expect it on whatever day the Post office feels like to deliver it.

Our politicians need to be held accountable for the actions they enact. And we need to take more action in our government.

E-privacy
We are not doing enough to keep government from reading our e-mails.
The Electronic Communication Privacy Act — the main law governing e-mail privacy — was enacted in 1986, when no one had any idea how important e-mail would become or how it would be used. The ECPA requires the government to obtain a search warrant to read e-mail — just like regular mail — but the FBI’s position is that it does not need a warrant once you have opened your e-mail. That means in much of the country — some federal courts have said no — all the FBI needs to do in order to read your e-mail is, essentially, ask Google or Yahoo nicely.

drugs

The US government wants us to be endeavoured to them. The healthcare programs are the very reason that prescriptions in this country are so expensive. If the government didn't have to provide the poor with their medicine with our tax money drugs in this country would be so much cheaper. This is also why student loans make college tuition so high.
They fund reports with our taxes saying that our modern lives won't let us sleep and the prescription companies have the answer for us.

No no, you are doing a great job with your no gun control, just keep adding more guns, it should all be okay.
