Control Freaks

Oh, man. I loathe these people. With a passion.

People who think they can control someones meer actions, lifestyle and total motivation just because SHE thinks SHE can. I use SHE as an example because I know of someone in my circle of friends who is like this. This can be stopped by simply not allowing someone control. It becomes a standoff and eventually terminates itself.

But, for the un-suspecting, apathetic person, it becomes a miserable situation. People who have this problem of needing to control everything make lousy spouses. They spend the next 50 years trying to keep you under their thumb and you're nuts if you think it ever gets better. It doesn't.

For the people in this situation it's total misery in a cascading downspin of total depression. Avoid it at all costs. These people need to change themselves or die alone. Period.

Racism

Why are racist "White Supremacists" always dumb as paint? Seriously, if these guys represent the "supreme race", why do they always start their sentences "I'll tell you whut..."? And why do they always have a broken toilet in their front yard that is being used as a planter?

I think it's safe to assume that people who call themselves supermacists aren't going to be splitting any atoms anytime soon. Whenever you see some guy burning a cross with the latest Martha Stewart Living bed sheet collection as a hood on his head, they can barely manage the English language. Their hatred is so seething they are actually blinded by it.

The human soul is behind all color, race, and culture. And whether a guy drives a Mercedes (as badly as he might), has chickens he's raising under the sink in his 2 bedroom apartment, or cooks stir fry every night of the week, we all bleed red. Yeah, all those little curtural differences that we seem to lose our minds over are insignificant when you figure we all "come from dust, and to dust we shall return." So someone explain to me how one race can be better than another. Without butchering the English language please.

SPAM

Ugh. I'm convinced that the most evil people on the planet are spammers. Sneaky, underhanded, disgusting, filth of the earth. And they read this page!

The SPAM industry has grown by leaps and bounds. And I'm talking about un-solicited SPAM. The stuff that claims to enlarge your member or have teenage girls doing it with horses. Maybe it's trying to get you to claim your vacation package you've just won (how exactly?? I didn't sign up for it!!)

SPAM falls into multiple levels, Porn, Scams and Solicited. The last you asked for. The first two, you didn't. You can pretty much guarantee that 99.9% of un-solicited SPAM is either a scam or directing you to an adult web site.

And the Adult industry is relentless. They plague your email, they have bots sending your private message via your AIM / Yahoo messenger service claining to be real people interested in you, and they have SPAM-bots all over yahoo chat rooms making false claims. "Hi. Lonely 18f here, pic on profile." There are maybe 1% of the people who see this that are actually gullible enough to think this is a real person.

So when does it stop? A cute little anti SPAM bill on Capital is a nice start, but how about taking it to the next level? And there are people protesting that such a bill would be a violation of the first amendment. Oh, wah. Stop whining. It's a violation of my right to privacy to get 100 emails a day telling me about viagra alternatives, teenage girls who just turned 18 today and want to lose their virginity on camera, and I need to email someone back to claim my huge prize package. I didn't sign up for it. Go screw.

Yes, we can pass a law. When a mass of people collectivly violate any American's rights, a bill needs to be passed. So all you first amendment people shut your trap. No one cares.

Corporate America Causing It's Own Downfall

It recently donned on me that the current lack of jobs, the un-employment, and the raising of taxes is compounded by the fact that many companies are moving their businesses to obscure locations to avoid paying taxes to the U.S. government. In turn, the government raises our taxes.

Because many of these companies use this method to avoid paying taxes, they are costing jobs. And if man can't work, he can't spend money on entertainment or luxury items. So, in essence, corporate America is causing it's own problem. Brilliant.

Yeah, a bunch of Java-sipping CEO's find a way to pocket more cash but forgot to assess the fact that if people are jobless they don't spend money and the company loses.

Good for them. I'm glad to see these selfish, greedy idiots cause their own problems. I hate to see the state the nation is in as the end result. Taxes go up. And if you can't pay taxes, well, you go to jail.

Where the hell does someone who is un-employed get money to pay a tax hike? So now our prisons get over crowded because people are put in jail for not being able to pay taxes, which in turn makes taxes go up again because who pays for the over crowded prisons?

Someone needs to sue the asses off of Corporate America and bring them down to grade level, because they are acting way to cool for the room. They need to cash a serious reality check because they started and cause the whole problem. 9-11 just amplified it.

Fast, Furious, And Dumb As Paint

So, like everyone this 4th, I celebrated by going to a display. On the way home, two kids in souped up Subarus, looking like they were straight out of "The Fast And The Furious" passed my family and I like we were actually going in reverse on I-190. This wouldn't be that uncommon except I've seen these same exact two little idiots before.

They are part of a growing population of brain dead 18+ kids who think a souped up 4 cylinder with tons of excess plastic and a loud muffler actually makes them a seasoned driver. Well, strap in, loser, I'm about to make you cash a reality check.

You see, you're young, impulsive - you know, defined with one word - stupid. You may have the flash and the noise, but I've got the backbone of solid steel. Drivers like myself know we don't have to break the sound barrier to really screw with people like you on the roadways. A timely, random lane switch while you book it at 120+ can send you into cardiac arrest, over a guard rail and into the trees. Because, ultimately, you may be fast, but you're also spineless.

Now I don't have an issue with kids who trip out their Honda Accord with tons of plastic, a loud muffler, and a "kickin" system. I think it's a waste of money to trip out an economy car, but I have nothing against it. It's when stupid little white punks who wear baseball caps and flip me the bird because I refuse to cut my hair drive them to set land speed records (which they will never do because there's this thing called the F-1 McClaren which is what a real speed freak picks up when he wants to quicken his pulse).

French Fried Losers

I'm so sick of the French. They walked on us when we needed them in Iraq, and now they have the nerve to ask us to intervene in Liberia. What? How the hell is Liberia's problems any different than Iraq's? Both are opressed, and both are toilets run by a dictator.

It's a lucky thing I'm not a president because I tend to be very impulsive and I would officially delclare France an Enemy, outlaw Franch Fries and rename them Cooked Potato Sticks, and French dressing, rejected, and shipped back to France - even if it was manufactured here. French wine? That's the UN French spokesman complaining that the US shouldn't declare war on Iraq, right?

Look, we all know who our allies are, but we seem to be a mere conveinance for the Frenchies. They run when war hits - every time - and use us for what seems to be their own political agenda. Whatever. Who needs these wuss bags.

NEWSFLASH! Money Doesn't Make It All Better

That's right. So all you tools opening your wallets taking the Catholic church, fast food, and big tobacco can shut them and sit back down.

I'm tired of hearing on the news the uncreative garbage that sue for everything from Malpractice to suing a fast food chain because they got burned by hot coffee. First of all I cannot believe someone is that stupid to not realize coffee and hot kind of go hand in hand.

Now the same group of savvy motivated individuals is going after what they've labeled "Big Food", which reflects "Big Tobacco" of the 80's.

We've all watched while sex abuse victims have tried to send the Catholic church into bankruptcy by filing the, "I"m wicked f'd up, give me money to make it better," suit.

Guys, this doesn't work. Cash isn't a band aid. Sure one could argue it's to bring these pedophile priests to justice - but 3 Million for "pain and suffering"? These people are using cash as a bandage over a wound that runs far too deep for convential fixes.

Ultimately, what started as someone wanting a little justice turned into the latest "Jackpot Jury" craze.

Greed. Someone should sue greedy people for being money motivated idiots and the loser should have to pay the debt to society by donating 30% of their jackpot winnings to a charity. That should weed out a few lawsuits.

Shut Up And Drive!

Because of my recent rant on why the government has no damn right to tell us to wear seatbelts, it may suprise people that I think a law that tells people to "Shut up and drive," is long overdue. Well, let me explain why this is such a great idea.

It's an American choice to wear a seatbelt. We shouldn't be made to wear a seatbelt just because a few insanely stupid people are allowed to have licenses. Otherwise, maybe dumb, angry, overly agressive drivers just shouldn't have licenses. I can offer chapter and verse how you cut insurance rates that are hiked because some tool didn't want to buckle up. But this rant isn't about that.

Someone not wearing a seatbelt doesn't endanger my life or threaten my well being, a cell phone user does. People who refuse to purchase a hands-free unit for their Nokia and then have the nerve to flaunt their six figure income by buying a status symbol such as a Mercedes or BMW, shouldn't be allowed cell phone privledges. They're willing to spend fifty thousand to one-hundred thousand dollars on a friggin' car, but not thirty bucks for a hands free unit.

So the government has to step in because there are too many cell phone related traffic accidents.

Incidently, "that awful dress Kim wore to Anastasia's wedding Saturday..." is not considered "stop the world I need to make a friggin' phone call during rush hour traffic" priority. And research shows that most of these calls are being made just because the user has a cell phone. The call isn't necessarily important. In fact, more often than not, it isn't.

So yes. I'm happy Beacon Hill is stepping in and shutting people's phones off. Violators who still won't use the now legally required hands-free unit should be forced to publish their number on the bumper of their car so the rest of us can call them and say, "Shut up and drive!"

Some Churches Not Getting It

No, I'm not going into some kind of religious tangent, but I have to address something that really irks me. Legalistic churches. Now this wouldn't even be an issue except they bug everyone with the cute little "Get to Know Jesus" pamphlets they mail out to everyone on your block.

Look. Most churches ultimate goal is butts in the seats. In modern times, you will not accomplish this with a "parking lot conversion" attempt. In fact, if you've done anything, you've ruined any chance that person might come to your church at all. Yet, certain legalistic circles do this - and more!

Among the "parking lot conversions", there are also certain circles where meat is a sin, along with the wearing of jewelry, certan haircuts and numerous other rules. People, legalism kills a church faster than anything. People feel suffocated, and crowded. Not to mention legalism goes against New Testamment readings which I won't go into right now.

Get over it. Step away from the box and learn another way, you're killing your own cause.

RIAA, Major Labels Vs. The Dangerous File Sharer

Well, you've all been waiting for Radio's Avenger to step up to the plate and jack one out of the park on behalf of musicians everywhere. Well kids, today is that day.

Today's Target: The RIAA. What a disgusting organization. This group of Einsteins is now attacking their very source of income: The music buyer. Now I realize something must be done about file sharing. But charging $750.00 per song found on your hard drive? Are they serious?

First of all, to all you hot headed musicians who think you are saying something by backing the RIAA let me let you in on a few details of this digusting organization.

The RIAA backs Major American labels who are morally guilty of much worse crimes than any file sharer. Major labels create dozens of pre-fabricated bands a year. Most recently they even pre-fabricated a genre: Nu Metal. They search for easily corruptable bands who are signed to a three album deal and then disposed of when the labels are done with them. They steal 95% of the CD Sales Profits, keeping the lump sum for their own pockets.

Upon "scouting" a real band, they have the band sign what is called a "deal memo" - unknown to the band is that this is a binding contract. If a band signs a deal memo, rest assured they will sign a contract that benefits the label or they will be destroyed.

Everything a label fronts for a band in a recording contract must be paid in full. So the band now must pull off a phenominal tour or go into financial ruin.

All this is backed by the RIAA who claim to be acting in the artist's best interest. What a joke. Someday, a rich user with good strong political ties will sue the RIAA for unfair business practice and win. God bless him when that happens. These people are the real crooks.

SPECIAL EDITION! Left Vs. Right - How Un-American?

Recently, a message board on yahoo has prompted me to respond where I can be heard with out the venom of the anti Bush, anti Republican idiots who plague the net. This is a long one, so settle in.

I said, Does Bush walk on water? No, absoluteley not. But if he makes members of the extreme left squirm in their seats, GOOD.

They said, By the way, you need to get over the left right bit, we are all Americans. But that doesn't seem to matter to you, does it?

Ok, let me explain something. I am most certainly NOT a Republican, nor do I think they are much better than Democrats. I just happen to think, because of their past actions, that Democrats are disgusting animals. They stopped the whole country for a month to re-count ballots because they didn't win. Granted, there were issues in the Florida ballot count, but these clowns would have counted until the early days of summer just to ensure Al Gore won. Republicans have their bad side to, the Democrats just shine through more because it is so blatant. Think about it, they are the ones willing to trade in a little of your freedom to tax FAST FOOD (inevitably leading down the same path as cigarettes) because a bunch of lousy parents allow their kids to be raised by the Teletubbies, and the kids think a steady dies of fast food is safe.

What am I? Libertarian. I think our government is fat, bloated, and greedy and needs to be downsized. Try to prove me wrong.

They said, leading with a quote from me, "I'm really sick of you anti Bush people polluting the internet with your venom. And I'm really sick of you people that think Bush is the second coming of Christ, and you're willing to look past all the lies he told."

This guy is a cop in Flint, Michigan, and evidently, to be a Cop in Flint, you don't need to take a wrtten exam because he clearly can't read. In the post he responded to I clearly said, "Do I think Bush walks on water? Absolutely not," (As above).

The first post was a user who didn't have enough backbone to post where she was from or her name on her profile. You'll notice I posted neither person's screen name. Let me explain why there IS a left and right and why I am neither (and I mean Democrat or Rebublican).

The two are historically contrarians. If the republicans want to do one thing, the Democrats take the opposing side and vice versa. Or, if Bush wants to jump the gun and go to war against Iraq because he's lead to believe by his advisors weapons exist, well, then, the Democrats are dead against it.

Let me ask you something. When election time comes, how do you know what either party stands for? During the off election year, the two are always opposite in opinion. So when it's time to vote, how do you know who to vote for?

Enter the 3rd parties. The 3rd has nothing to lose. You can be certain that if Libertarian so-and-so thinks we should have gone to war, he wasn't just opposing the Democrat and supporting the Republican. What can he gain from that?

So go ahead, ridicule me for thinking of this as being about left versus right. But it is, and at least I will know what my party stands for.

Taxing Fast Food, The Overweight, And The Threat Of New Jackpot Jurys

Taxing junk food and filing lawsuits because your fat kid doesn't know enough not to eat 3 meals a day at McDonalds is ludicrous. Just because a bunch of parents let their kids get raised by the television doesn't mean that justifies what would undoubtedly spin out of control.

Who thinks this stuff up? Do we really need to be told with a big neon sign that a steady diet of fast food will lead to heart attack? Who is really this stupid?

Bad habits are your own, they are not owned by some large corporation. Practicing moderation should be a no-brainer. And yet, we have a group of people out there who start opening their wallets, waiting to cash in on the latest lawsuit craze.

If congress doesn't approve the new bill that will not allow such lawsuits they should be shot. There is no reason to let a bunch of angry, suburban pieces of garbage cash in on their own neglect. Stop allowing the teletubbies, poorly written sitcoms, and cheesy Japanimation cartoons raise your kids and take some friggin' responsiblilty.

The Nigerian Scam

I don't know what is going on over there in Africa, but it takes a pretty un-creative individual to think this one up. Let's look at this:

Someone (Usually a woman with a dead husband who was some kind of Dignitary) emails you out of the clear blue saying she got your email from a business source (in my case this is bunk, radio personalities are not listed in business boards, sites, etc.). She tells your her sob story which is usually husband died, and for security reasons she can't get to the money unless it's transferred to an American account. So she wants you to transfer the money, which is usually between 1 and 15 million American Dollars, to an account you open. For this you get 10%. Hey 10 grand for a transfer? Wow... Who wouldn't look into this.

Except, when you email her back, you find you have to go to her Country for the transaction. This is where it gets shady. The deal will get threatened once you get there and you'll be asked to contribute a large amount of money to save the deal. People in the past who have fallen for this gem have been subjected to beatings and even murder upon refusal to donate funds to save the venture.

For your edification, here are the details of this email:

In almost every case there is a sense of urgency;

The victim is enticed to travel to Nigeria or a border country;

There are many forged official looking documents;

Most of the correspondence is handled by fax or through the mail;

Blank letterheads and invoices are requested from the victim along with the banking particulars;

Any number of Nigerian fees are requested for processing the transaction with each fee purported to be the last required;

The confidential nature of the transaction is emphasized;

There are usually claims of strong ties to Nigerian officials;

A Nigerian residing in the U.S., London or other foreign venue may claim to be a clearing house bank for the Central Bank of Nigeria;

Offices in legitimate government buildings appear to have been used by impostors posing as the real occupants or officials.

I recieved an email from a genius trying to pull one over on me. I kindly told him I knew who he was, what he was doing and reported it to the Secret Service. I further told him in the email that as long as I drew breath he would kill no Americans.

And for the rest of you idiots who think this works. Go ahead, make it as elaborate as you want. Include spots of land, airplanes, officials, rare works of art, animals - whatever... And I'll keep exposing you.

Now you know why they call me, Radio's Avenger.

We Are Food, Not Creations With A Purpose

Ok, I rarely share anything Christian based, but this show "Coast To Coast AM" has got my head in a spin. Well, more appropriately, it's got me steamed. George Noory had a guest on who had "proof" we were all food for a master race of aliens. Ok, break out the rope and hang yourself right? How idiotic is this?

Now, I realize most people would rather deny the existence of a God and wouldn't accept the existence of aliens much easier, but lets look at something here.

George's guest said we were food for master race of aliens and even went as far as to say this accounts for many of our planet's missing people. He said from time to time this "race" abducts a bunch of us for consumption. Let's be real, this takes an extreme leap of faith. Much more than the age-old belief in a deity. So let's compare the Christian God, Jehovah to this alleged master race of aliens.

Jehovah loves every single individual on this planet. He has "a plan to prosper, and not to harm you..." (Jeremiah 29:11). The other side, we are a steak with a side order of gravy fries for some green guy with long eyes, no nose, and depending on your description, no vocal chords who populated this planet millions of years ago for random harvests for this ingestion. They are way more technologically advanced than us, they are responsible for crop circles, and they used the Egyptian pyramids as communications beacons.

Which of the two takes more of a leap of faith to believe? Are there facts supporting Alien activity? Sure. I guess... BUT if you check out http://HauntedChristians.blogspot.com -you will find this could simply be demonic activity...

"Democracy Is A Failed Experiment" -Hey Stupid, America Is Free, Accept It, Or Leave.

I can't get over certain members of the Extreme Left who think Democracy is a failed experiment. The literal translation is, "Hey, I want to live like a camel like people over in Sandsville, Arabia." Look, if you don't want all this great freedom (which incidently allows you to complain about Democracy to begin with), then get the heck out of my country. Go try to turn some other free nation into a rotting toilet.

As for me, I enjoy all my freedoms that come with living in the USA. Yeah, true, I'm disgusted with with certain members of my society who should really be pulled from the gene pool ASAP, but then that's true with ANY nation and, the truth is, we probably have less over here than in Urinal Ville, Syria.

Hey I'm not too proud to admit I know this is a Capitalist nation. And I'm glad is really irritates everyone over in the Muslim populated nations. They need to accept the fact that while they choose to live like Animals, I don't. And if they have a problem with that, well, then I guess they are just bigoted, racist, Islamic Supramisist, Muslim Red Necks.

As for Kindly Senator So And So who says, "It's time to end the failed experiment of Democracy," well, he can go to Syria.

Logistics Companies Anything But Logical.

I can't help but notice the swerving 18 wheeler in front of me in traffic at 4:30 in the morning trying to make that ludecrous time frame he's been given by his employer. So many Americans are ready to pin the blame on the driver himself for pushing his abilities way too far, but in all honesty, he doesn't have a choice. Logistics companies are anything but compassionate. It takes you 3 days to get to New Orleans from Michigan? Well, you got 77 hours. No room for error.

Should you blow it, fall asleep at the wheel, break down or something else that depletes your amount of time, well, it's your fault.

This is disgusting. Drivers are not paid nearly enough to have ridiculous time constraints with no room for error - human or otherwise - added into the equation. Sure, AVT Logistics in Bumville, TN will argue they figure in 20 seconds for every 20 miles or some stupid figure, but is that really enough? Yeah, anything but logical, folks.

Eminem - How Does Such A Zilch Garner So Much Attention

Ask many of his own fans, and they'll tell you even they think Eminem (Marshall Mathers) is a great big zero. "Yeah, his music's catchy and stuff, but I know he's a loser," says one girl who didn't want to be identified. In his still pretty young career, Eminem has had fights with Christina Aguilera, Moby, Insane Clown Posse and others.

Vince Speaks Holy S! Is this guy for real? He went from feast to famine with his little verbal arguements among celebrities. His feud with Insane Clown Posse goes way back, and he didn't have a chance against this pair of ex-wrestlers. Then he 180's and goes after Moby. Moby?!?! That's like attacking a Senior Citizen on Qualuds. Moby either doesn't know - or doesn't care - if he's being attacked. And where Eminem gets off picking a fight with the musical genius of Moby I'll never understand.

Eminem needs to shut his little punk hole before someone like Dee Snider (Twisted Sister's Lead Vocalist) decides to shove a dumpster up his ass and rip out his spleen. Eminem is too much of a wise guy for his own good. He thinks he's big and bad because he's got the backing of Dr. Dre. Well, I'm not impressed. And Dre should smarten up and realize if Eminem pisses off enough people, they'll inevitably start blaming Dre.

No End To Sheep - Er - Peace Lover's Complaints

Despite the rebounding economy, the liberation of Iraq, the drop of Oil prices, more hemp bag toting idiots are plaguing the internet with their venom. "Bush lied" "Where's the weapons?" "Wah wah wah". Ok. You know what? Shut up. You will never be happy. The only time you are happy is when you have something to whine about. If it's not war, it's the president, if it's not the president it's about where the "alleged" weapons are. I have an idea, just shut your mouths. If you must complain, find something the majority agrees with you on because you sound like a bunch of spoiled little brats.

We should ship these idiots to Afghanistan, Iraq or some other 3rd World toilet so maybe they understand what their freedom is all about and why they should be proud to defend it. I have no use for a group of extreme left cowards who whine incessantly about our middle east involvement. Maybe they'd be happy if someone like Saddam Hussein ruled over them. Losers.

Small Town Politics

Last night, my town passed Proposition 2 1/2 override. In 1984 Masschusetts passed Proposition 2 1/2 to protect citizens from having the towns raise property tax to obscene levels. And every year since, towns across the Bay State have done everything they can to get voters to approve an override.

How? They use, in layman's terms; Scare Tactics. "We'll lose the schools music and arts programs, we'll have to lay off the grounds keeper at the local cemetary..." Only my town was threatening to nearly shut down all together. Well, no offense Mr. Hilliger, but I still say the lot of you are full of crap. The figures don't add up, and the answer you have has too many holes.

If 2.5 didn't pass, property value would drop and next year the town would actually collect less property tax than this year. I have to doubt even Hilliger is so dumb as to allow that to happen. So either the selectmen were all full of crap, or they really intended to shut the town down and didn't think about the long term downward spiral this would cause. I tend to lean towards the first choice.

One could argue, "Well, we gave you the facts in the mail." Well, the facts were lacking, severely. Way too many holes. "Well, we invited you to the informational session." Where you no doubt intimidated the hell out of anyone who challenged you and gave the same run around you gave everyone in the mail. Most people are not financial guru's and have a limit to what they know budget wise. And with a little carefully planned arguing, you could convince them of anything.

Well, congrats. You passed it. I have to ask, though. During the "Booming Bill Clinton Years" - why did you issue simmilar scare tactics, such as loss of school programs and road up keep during winter months? These were booming economic years, what was your excuse then? Maybe whoever was in office then, just couldn't balance the stupid budget. And if they are still in office, why? Are voters buying all the empty re-election promises?

Harry Potter He Is What He Is - Or Is He?

Once again so called Christian parents groups are going over board trying to turn Harry Potter movies into a three ring circus act of immoral perversion. But that fact is, is it really? Here's what I get from Harry Potter. Friendship is valuable, there is evil in the world that can suck us in if we aren't careful and respect your elders.

Here's what my so called Christian brethern claim is wrong with the books and movies: It's teaching our children a love for witchcraft. Wow. How awful. Ok, first of all let's consider something... Is there an under 12 in this country who isn't fascinated with either having super human strength or super natural powers? It's a common fantasy that we all grow out of. I highly doubt little Ashley is going to go to "The Oracle" and buy a dozen candles and work a love spell on her 5th grade teacher she's crushing on this week. Call me crazy, but I don't see it happening.

The system Christians use to condemn book and movies such as Harry Potter can also be used to defend it. In fact, there is a book out there that does so by a Christian author.

And you thought you were so clever.
