Loss of Common Sense

Someone sent this to us in an email and it seemed to fit the way our society is moving.

An Obituary printed in the London Times – Interesting and sadly rather true.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
– Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
– Why the early bird gets the worm;
– Life isn’t always fair;
– and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get
parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was
preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I’m A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Someone Has To Say It

So many times I hear people bitching and moaning that they don’t get this or that. I’m here to tell you that you don’t deserve everything you think you do. I’m here to tell you what’s really happening in our everyday lives.

Men are better than women at some activities. Women are better than men at others. Don’t try to tell me Annika or Michelle Wie are better than the men. They aren’t. Don’t give me this bull-shit about Danica Patrick either. She has the best car out there, NOT the best driver.

Driver licenses are privelages. If you are muslim and don’t want your face showing on the license, tough shit. Take your god-damn towel off. Also, old people are the worst drivers on the road. I’m talking the kind of old people that remember what it was like before seat-belts. How many times am i going to see some old person driving their car into a party and killing 5. Make them take the test EVERY year. What else to they have to do?

Here is a list of things that suck; Jimmy Buffet, Forigen Cars, The Yankees, NBA, any reality show, The Daily Show and of course many more things, including lagots.
