The Stupidity Law

I really think there should be a law defense attorneys and the general citizens of any nation can use called “The Stupidity Law.” It means, if the prosecution did something so incredibly stupid you could consider them mentally repaired, you can call the Stupidity Law to your defense. Let me give you some examples.

1) The kid at the amusement park: This kid at an amusement park was decapitated by a roller coaster after jumping two, (not one, two!) fences covered with signs saying “DANGER, DO NOT CLIMB OVER FENCE!” You would think one would be smart enough not to put himself in a position where any moment a 65 MPH roller coaster would shoot by and possibly kill you. Of course however, this is the great America, so there will be a lawsuit. All this does is bring awful PR to the park, and for something so stupid I don’t think even they saw it coming. They should be able to use The Stupidity Law to shoo the unfortunate kid’s family away.

2) Sports players can’t believe they got caught doing anything illegal, or are sued: Just because you are a star who everyone loves does not mean you are invincible. Roger Clemons, we know you took steroids, you’re not fooling anyone. You should have done what Andy Petite did and no one would care anymore. Now you’re going to jail. Michael Vick, what you did was not just illegal, it was heartless. Why are you surprised so many of your fans have left you? Why are you surprised to be in jail? You’re just as much of a citizen as everyone else, even if you don’t think so. Here The Stupidity Law comes in to the defense of the people against these morons.

3) People who foreclose and say “they didn’t know how much they were paying”, and the mortgage companies giving them the loans to begin with: Hell-o peoples! Let’s think for a second. I’m the average American making b/w 75-150 K a year. I just signed up for a 550 K mortgage because there was only 2% down. I now owe for this house about five times what I make a year, and I have about thirty to make it up. Seriously, what are the chances I can afford that? Now let’s look on the other side of the spectrum. I am a broker, and I give you a loan with no money down, and you don’t even have to tell me you credit or assets, and I seriously think you’re going to pay me back. The Stupidity Law comes in and boldly says on behalf of everyone thinking it, “you have no right to sue, complain, or show any bit of surprise, you’re the only idiot here.”

4) Medical patients who sue because they screwed up: If I’m a doctor, and I give you implicit instructions on really anything, I think it’s fair to expect you to follow them. If I tell you to take one pill in the morning when you wake up, and one at night before you go to bed, then if you decide to take six to get better faster, that’s not my fault. If I tell you not to walk around, and you ignore me and fall and are severly hurt in the process, you shouldn’t be able to sue me for malpractice. The worst part of this is that doctors today are very conservative in caution of lawsuits, and that should never be the case. They should be able to use The Stupidity Law in their defense any time someone decides they know better.

It’s cases like these that always amaze me. Think about how many people would sleep more soundly at night with this law in place.

GYA out

We say we care . . .

Here’s some news: the international rice research institute has cut down on research.

Why should I care you ask? Because once again cuts have been made, and who is hurt the most–the poor. Rice crops are hurt, poor don’t eat. It’s that simple. We say we care about the poor, but really, do we?

Here in the grand ol’ US of A the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Heck, Barack Obama wrote a book about himself and it’s already sold millions.

It seems for some reason or another it is always alright to cut down on something as long as no one important is hurt. As long as there is not a force to uprise against it, it does not matter whatever “it” is, it will be done.

It’s pathetic. There’s no other way to describe it. The world has no conscience. People only care about themselves.

It’s pathetic.

the earthquake that shook my concience

sorry people no witty cynicism today. i have not posted on this until now because still in the back of my mind i have just been able to talk about the horrors that have occurred in china. for those who dont know a week ago a record setting earth quake hit china and caused the death of tens of thousands of people. including the aftershocks it has a body count of 96,000 people and reporters say that that number could double in the next few days. it is over 10 times the number of people that died in new orleans in hurricane katrina and 48 times more than those who died in 9/11.

the worst part is, the part that has kept me in a sullen unpleasant mood for the last few days, the part that has rocked me so much it took me this long to talk about it was the response. i hear people worrying about the olympics and i say, hell to the olympics, as much as i would love to see them i say any money being spent on that should be diverted to rescue squads.

or i hear, the chinese goverment needs to learn their lesson. who are these animals who believe that any higher power would kill 100,000 people to teach someone a lesson. i dont care if it was nazi germany no god of mine is killing 100.000 people to teach a lesson.

and finally and mabye the most shocking, yahoo news, front page news story,
See Ellen’s emotional wedding announcement. then in the side bar “chinese rescue workers uncover bodies”… a talk show hosts wedding, then 100,000 deaths.

the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness is overwhelming, i just wish it would end

McCain and Global Warming

Sen. McCain gave a speech the other day on global warming. He said that for the next (long) eight years it would be terrible if nothing was done about global warming. I have one comment:
Good man.
Finally someone is caring about one of the biggest problems facing the world today. However, I can not help but wonder if this is just another thing said to win votes, and nothing will actually happen if he is elected. All I can say is that politics have become pretty pathetic today here in the US of A.

Rev. Wright

Okay, someone please explain. Supposedly, Rev. Wright and Barak Obama have known each other for twenty odd years. Now, with everything Rev. Wright has said over the past couple of weeks, polls show that it is hurting Obama. You would think that if Rev. Wright and Obama have been friends for so long, that Rev. Wright would want his friend to win the pramaries.

So . . . why isn’t he just shutting up?!?!

I’m lost.

The Primaries

The US’s political system is definitely not perfect, but it’s damn better than most out there. However, I just can’t help but noting that perhaps this primary buisness has gone on for a little to long. Why don’t we just have the primaries withing a month or so of eachother. I know that the candidates want to visit the states and all, but come on, this is flat out stupid. I’d even go for within three months of eachother. In fact, with this whole Clinton-Obama stretch, the democratic party is possible hurting itself. McCain can sit back and prepare for the presidentials, but Obama and Clinton are racing across the country from state to state. In fact, if this crazy system is here to stay, why don’t states bordering eachother have primaries at similar times. This way at least the candidates can move from general are to general area. I’m not dissing the way our country works, I’m just saying sometimes it might be worth taking a step back at looking at the picture on a whole.
