::The Media::

You see it on tv, you read it in the paper, you hear it on the radio, but now after putting it off for quite some time, I'm finally going to talk about it... well, more like RANT about it. Because let's face it, the media is USELESS when it comes to giving us USEFUL information. As you all are aware, the media has a major impact on the majority of human beings that buy into it, and there are many reasons for this. Let's start off with the major media, the news. Now is it me, or has the news become more depressing now than it was years ago? Not to mention the fact that everyone seems to be doing alot more bitching than ever, mostly about our current President.

With that said, lemme go off topic here to make a point I've been wanting to get off my chest for a while. Now look, I'm not what you would call a "political person", in fact i tend to stay FAAAAAAAAAAR away from politics as i can. But here's my whole take on it. The United States of America has become a VERY impatient country over the years. Everybody want's instant results instantly. Yes, he did say that he will make changes, but last time i checked, he didnt exactly specify WHEN those changes would occur. This isn't the friggen Jetsons where everything zaps to your presence instantly with a push of a button. Stuff like this takes time, specially when you have Republicans preventing Democrats from making those exact changes. It's a long, complicated process. The people need to put out the fire in their pants and calm the fuck down. And what I find so hypocritical is that the same people that supported him at one point, are the same people that decided to switch sides and rank on the poor dude, attacking him for the wrong reasons. First they attack his credibility, then his knowledge, then his nationality, then his birth certificate, and it just goes on, and on, and on. Holy shit just leave him alone for fuck sakes! I don't recall anyone bashing the shit our of Bill Clinton even after that whole sex scandal, NOR did I hear anyone bashing our former president George W. Bush... and THAT fucker should have gotten ridiculed MORE than Obama is getting right now. GWB was nothing more than a fuckin retard that kept spewing all this shit that people actually bought into. Half the time it was like watching a 12 year old in an old person's body. The fact that there were people that actually supported this assclown just baffles me. Why? Because he sent troops into the middle east to start a war with the same people that "supposedly" blew up our buildings in New York? Big whoop!! I think the only GOOD thing to come out of Bush's Presidency was the execution of Sadam Housane (sp?). Other then that, everything else was just pointless, dumb, or bad. Now on the other hand, you have our current President Obama who wants to get our troops out of the middle east (which to me is a GREAT idea), and everyone is hating on him for that? Even the military itself?! WTF?!?! I honestly do not see a point in us being over there at all. Before we came over, they were blowin shit up and talkin smack. Now that we are there, their STILL blowin shit up and talkin smack. So honestly, whats really changed? NOTHING!! Aside from our "commercialist takeover" and the capture of Sadam Housane (sp?), we have had little to no impact on the middle east. In fact, I say we (meaning the USA) should mind our own business and not get involved in other affairs unless it involved a direct threat to us. So before I drag this out longer than it should be, all I'm sayin is give Obama a chance. Wait it out, and see what happens in the long run, THEN rank on him if he starts fucking up.

Anywho, back to the news. It has literally gotten to the point where its becoming a brainwashing program. People that don't know or dont want to think for themselves are siding with people like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. Really? I can't stand a minute of those two talking cause they annoy the fuck out of me. And let me be clear, whatever they say as far as "Obama is destroying this" or "Obama is making that worse", it is strictly THEIR oppinion on the matter, its not actual facts. In fact their jobs are to spin the truths a bit to make it seem like they actually know wtf they are talkin about. The same people like Fox News that thought they had a better understanding at wtf "Anonymous" was on the internet. BOY WERE THEY REALLY OFF ON THAT ONE!!! For the viewers of these shows, I give you this advice... don't believe everything you hear. Instead of being a robot, BE AN ORIGINAL! Agree or Disagree with shit that affects you, not cause some shmuck on tv tells you to. And watch some better tv programming. Or better yet (and I know I'm about to tell people somthing I dont do), READ A FUCKING BOOK!!!

But aside the news, theres that "other" type of media that seems to take quite a hold on teenagers. This would be the filth of MTV. The fact that todays generation of kids are named after the tv show they are watching is fucking pathetic and scary at the same time. Remember when MTV was innocent and liked to talk about music while playing actual GOOD music? Now the reality tv concept has taken over the channel. All these contests and Real World shows. First of all, Real World isn't as "REAL" as you think. A majority of that shit is acting or created by the producers to get more ratings for their shows. Because that's what people like now-a-days... stupid, pointless drama. That's why you would never see me in one of those shows. I'd be that quiet guy that kept to himself and went with the flow while staying away from all the assholes. The worse part is that teenagers copy what they see, and the fact that they mimic all these rappers in their music videos and all these half naked sluts is both stupid AND disturbing. Listen to the music on there. There are NO inuendos whatsoever. Everything is blunt and straight to the point. 75% (or more) of rap music has to be censored on public tv and/or the radio because the lyrics can get so explicit at times, but that doesnt stop middle school kids from picking it up and using it in their everyday vocabulary. Which begs the other question and my next off-topic point "where are the parents?". It is the responsibility of the parents to take control of their child when shit hits the fan. But no, even THAT is a difficult task. Why? it's called "Discipline". It's been used for many years. Why stop using something that's been proven to work for centuries? Short answer... Laziness. Long answer... America has become so fuckin pussy and politically correct that scolding your child with a smack on the ass would send you to jail. Are you fucking serious? That is the job of a parent!! When I was a kid, i got smacked with belts and wooden spoons. Sure I got pissed about it but it made me wiser not to do stupid shit. The fact that their is no reprimand to this generation's negative behavior means that things are ONLY going to get worse and worse if nobody does anything about it. Hell, kids are having sex at 10!! HOW MUCH MORE OF A FUCKING CLUE DO YOU NEED?!?! But no, go ahead, leave them alone in their rooms with the tv and the internet as they learn and pick up stuff behind your backs. It'll come to haunt you and bite you in the ass in the long run.

Speaking of the internet, thats the last form of media, but that topic is TOO big for this post, so I'll save it for another time. Otherwise, hope this post was worth the wait.
