This writer recently came across an online acticle that asked "If women can wear pants, why can't men wear dresses?" or something like that. This writer was confused because the idea of wearing dress is a foreign concept to him, but the question is fair. Yes, you'll occasionally see a man in a dress but for the most part, men (both straight and gay) just don't wear things like that.
That said, this writer has another question; why would a man want to where a dress? This is a little harder to answer, because every person has different motivations for doing or not doing certain things. Speaking for himself (because that's the only person this writer can definitively speak for), this writer will say its just because he doesn't want to and beyond that, he doesn't have the legs for it. Also, where's the benefit in it? This writer can only assume other males (straight and gay) feel the same way, but he doesn't know for sure. That would require walking around and asking every man that question, a feat that no one individual has time for.
One thing this writer can say is that when he sees an male in his prime wearing such clothing walking down the street, others (mostly women and teens) will snicker. Adult males may shake their heads in disbelief, but this writer finds that women (the main ones asking why men don't wear dresses) will take the lead in make such men feel bad about their decision to go fem. In short, based solely on what this writer has seen, more feminine outfits because women don't want them to. Women simply aren't choosing those kind of men en masse.
As for why women wear what they wear, this writer doesn't think most people complaining about such things actually care. They aren't worried about women wearing their dresses or shorts too short. The real issue isn't why women are wearing these things, but why men aren't. Deep down, everyone knows if men regularly wore the miniskirts and women covered their bodies, nobody would care. Just watch pro wrestling. Men trot out in front of thousands of people in essentially just wearing underwear and nobody complains about how much skin they show. In fact, there are looked at as badass and masculine. But if a female wrestler shows nothing but her hands, suddenly it's too sexy and you have to shield your children's eyes. Is this America or the Middle East?
Speaking of sports, another common question is why female athletes wear less than the male counterparts. This is particularly prevalent in beach volleyball, especially during the Olympics. After reading numerous articles, the most common answer is it's because they want to. These female athletes openly state it's not to be sexy and a study of the rules will show that these women aren't being forced to wear such things. They can wear as much as the men. They simply choose not to.
As for why to male athletes don't wear as little as the women, as stated before, this writer can assume that they don't want to and don't see the benefit in it. Considering how competitive male athletes are, if they knew wearing bikinis and tennis skirts would help them win, they'd wear them. Once again, there is no rule stating how little they can wear.
So to wrap things up, men and wear what they wear because they want to. Believe it or not, nobody is forcing women to wear dresses, so why are people trying so hard to cram men into them. No matter what societal expectations are or changes happen, people ultimately have to decide for themselves. No amount of complaining is going to change that. People who can't decide for themselves are either babies or nothing more than living dolls.
Until next time...

Winter
It's that time of the year. The time for family. The time for presents. The time for hot chocolate. The time for slipping, sliding, shivering. Yep. It's old man Winter. Goodbye, bike. So long, shorts. Hello, bus (bawls uncontrollably).
Truthfully, Winter is one of the few times this writer is glad he doesn't drive. As stated before, this is the season for slipping and sliding. Heck, this writer just saw someone spinout and he was only going two mph. He did everything right and still spunout. Then, there are those who can't stop when they need to and go sliding through a stop sign or a red light. If that's not scary, the word needs to be redefined.
The few bikers still out aren't safe either. A co-worker told this writer her husbad was rifing his bike to work, then took a turn and wound up sliding underneath a parked car. That sound like a deleted scene from the movie Premium Rush, not real life. Yep, it's time to put away the bike.
Pedestrians suffer Winter's wrath, as well. It can be scary walking up a steep hill covered in ice or a thin layer of snow. You have to keep a good pace or you'll be going backwards. Power on up that hill or fall and slide back to the bottom.
Winter isn't all bad though. You can have a snowball fight, go sleding, or skiing. A walk down a snow covered street can be beautiful to look at. Imagine walking down a side street with snowmen, igloos, and snow fortresses in every front yard. Plus, the snow itself lights up an area quite well. Even at night, you can see quite far if it's not blustery. As you can see, there's good to accompany the bad. Most if the bad revolve around simply not being able to move the way you want to or just being cold.

Confessions of a Janitor
This writer remembers living the life of a janitor. You wake up, shower, go to work, and start janiteering (or custodianizing?). While not the life people dream of, it can be fun and enjoyable work. Maybe, it's just this writer, but there some there's a sense of accomplishment that comes from walking out of a fresh-cleaned room. There's a purity about it that feels good to look at and smell.
Sometimes, however, the job was a nightmare. There were times when this writer wanted to say, "I know I'm the janitor, but I'm not cleaning that." Then there were times when this writer, in fact, did not clean the mess because the creator of the mess (usually a superior) would create a BS situation for the sole purpose of creating a headache for this writer.
This writer remembers in high school, one his supervisors threw a tantrum in a middle school lunchroom and mess in front of the kids. This included, but was not limited to throwing a fish sandwich on the ground, stomping on and grindeding it with his foot, then storming off in a rage. While that supervisor eventually came back to clean the mess, this writer certainly wasn't going to clean it. It was a BS situation he (the head janitor, mind you) created, so it was only right that he clean it instead of delegating someone else to do it.
Then there are the supermarket women's bathrooms. O. M. G. These satanic portals to hell are the reason why this writer walked away from janitorial work with his head held high. The levels of ugh in these place are both dumbfounding and confounding. This writer already discussed this in the Fairer Sex post, so he'll break down a few particularly irksome repeat scenarios.
First, there are the hand towels in the toilet This writer would often see the women were passing up toilet paper to use hand towel. Ladies, these things don't flush. That's what makes thems hand towel. They clog toilets and cause overflowing. Fortunately for this writer, the hand towels were (usually) the only reason the water that overflowed was brown. Still, this writer wondered how the "more intelligent" gender kept getting it wrong day after day.
The straw that broke the camel's back came in the employee's women's bathroom (keep the word employee in mind). What straw was that? A female employee kept sneaking into the bathroom and smearing feces on the toilet bowl. You read right. ON the toilet bowl, as in the outside. An actual human being of the "fairer sex (and an employee to boot) picked up feces and smeared it on a toilet bowl. Just try to process that for a minute.
What's worse is that by the time this writer got to it, it was already hardened and encrusted on the bowl to where the cleaning chemicals barely had any affect. So this writer had to spend twenty minutes scraping S off of a toilet bowl. After doing this about four times, this writer looked himself in the mirror and asked himself Chris Hansen-style, "What are you doing here?"
This writer could go on talking about how bad experiences at an admittedly good job, but this writer believes the message has been received.

Election Aftermath
This writer has seen a number of things since Donald Trump's victory. There have been protests, violence, Calexit talks, people (supposedly) fleeing to Canada, and other stuff going on. People have taken beatings because they voted for Mr. Trump. And of of there's stuff like this:
Does this look or sound like what intelligent people do?
This writer remembers during the third debate, the moderator asked if Mr. Trump would except the result of the election. This was said under the assumption (and quite frankly, expectation) that Mr. Trump would lose. Of course Mr. Trump won (a result he without a doubt accepted) and now it's the other side who won't accept the result, even though Mrs. Clinton herself did. Sounds like hipocrasy to this writer.
Not sure how Trump supporters would have taken it if they lost, but you can't ask them to lose graciously when you can't do the same even as your leaders are doing it. The Democratic party is moving on. They're already talking about the 2020 election. It would be smart for Clinton supporters to do the same. If you don't like the result, get out and vote next time (because a number of the protesters, if not the majority of them, didn't even vote).
The kicker in the whole thing is that Mr. Trump (the one we're told is pushing hate) hasn't even done anything yet. He hasn't built that wall, deported a single illegal immigrant, started a race war (though he hasn't condemned those with that mind set), or repealed Obamacare (which he seems to be backpeddling on). He hasn't even taken office yet and there's no guarantee he'll do any of that (but he'll try for that wall). All the destruction, disorder, and most of the division is coming from the protesters, man the "evil" man they are protesting.
Simply put, let's give the man a chance before we break out the torches and pitchforks. He may actually turn out to be a good president. It's equally likely he'll be a crappy president. Yes, he has a questionable history, but so does Mrs. Clinton. Personally, this writer doesn't think he will bring about the doom and gloom the protesters seem to think he will. He'll do some things we'll like and some we won't, just as every president before him and every president that will ever be. If he does fulfill protesters' prophecies, then make sure he doesn't get a second term. It's really that simple.
Until next time...

Election Results
First, this writer would like to congratulate President Elect Donald Trump on his victory in the 2016 election. Mr. Trump overcame a lot of obstacles to get here. He had to overcome a history of bigotry and sexism, a left-slanted media (just watch the replays of the debates and say otherwise), a better opponent who was (very slighty) better, and even being betrayed by his own party. This man deserves a beer and a high-five. The next four year probably won't be great (again), hopefully they make sense. This writer doesn't believe it will be as bad as people are already saying it will be.
As for Mrs. Clinton, she should be hanging her head in shame. She (a lifelong politician) lost to an all-American idiot. Thirty plus years of being in polictics amounts to that. Well, as Mr. Trump cleverly said during the third debate, "She has experience, but it's bad experience." She didn't win 100% of Latinos (whom he called terrorists, by the way) to a racist and lost white women (her own demograpghic) to a sexist. She screwed up so bad that she lost the white woman demographic, which she should have won in a landslide. That is embarassing.
Looking at the numbers, however, this whole mess reeks of 2000. Remember how Al Gore lost to George Bush, even though the people voted for Gore. This is the same thing. Mrs. Clinton (as crappy is she was) won the popular election 48% to 47%. Neither candadate reached 50% of the vote (which should be shameful) but the American people themselves picked Mrs. Clinton, just as they did Mr. Gore sixteen years ago. Those aren't the only two election where that's happened, but the writer just finds it weird that a candidate can win the people and still lose the presidency.
The electoral college is what cost her. That's nice and all, but how is the electoral college so powerful and the American people so weak when it comes to the election. The electoral college was designed to prevent smaller states from being run over by bigger states in elections, so this writer understands why it exists, but the balance of power seems off when compared with that of the people. 538 people have more power than 300 million? Something about that just seems wrong.
Some are saying that the electoral college should be done away with. This writer won't go that far, but he does believe that the popular vote (the people's voice) should carry more weight than the electoral college. The people used their voice to say, "We want Mrs. Clinton." The system turned around and told the people, "shut up!"
Anyway, congratulations Mr. Trump. Mrs Clinton (pats her on the back), better luck in 2020.

Election Day
Well, D-day is almost here. It's (supposedly) the most important election in American history, with the two worst candidates in American history at its center. In the left corner, wearing the blue trunks, we have Hillary "The Criminal" Clinton. In the right corner, wearing the red trunks, we have "Big Bigot" Donald Trump. Yep, this is what it comes down to.
How did we get here? Both sides passed on a number of better candidates. Bernie Sanders would have been a much better candidate for the Democrats. Heck, the Dems didn't even listen to Martin O'Malley (because the mederators for the Democratic debates conveniently ignored him). He may have been better than Mrs. Clinton, but thanks to the media (they never stop), we'll never know.
The Republicans, on the other hand, literally sent the worse candidate they could find. John Kasich, Ben Carson, and Chris Christie were all better candidates. Heck, Deez Nuts would have probably been better (and funnier). Any of those choice (including Mr. Nuts, sadly) probably would have blow Ms. Clinton out of the water. It's almost like the Republicans said, "Who can we send out to lose us the next four years?" They answered by trotting out Mr. Trump. If Ms. Clinton wasn't the representative for the Dems, Mr. Trump would get crushed.
Simply put, both Democrats and Republicans put their worst foot forward and it will be the America citizens (not the political parties themselves) who will pay the price. The third and fourth party suck too, otherwise they'd be right in the thick of things in a year where they could have realistically won. Gary Johnson seemed to be picking up steam for a stretch, but he fell by the quickly wayside. Jill Stein...um...who? Mr. Johnson and Mrs. let themselves down badly, because they didn't push hard enough. Mr. Johnson is especially disappointing because he was almost there. He almost got enough attention to be taken seriously and didn't do diddly.
However, it's pointless to worry about how we got here now, because we are here and that's not changing (sadly). Worrying about the past is an issue for future elections. Right now, it's all about dealing with these present candidates. So, what will America do?
People can write in a candidate. Heck, you can even write in yourself. Imagine if every voter wrote themselves in. That would cause one heck of a headache for the government and make the statement, "Quit giving us crappy candidates. When you send us good candidates, we'll give you the power back." This writer isn't sure if the American people as a whole can legally be president, but that would be awesome if it were possible. This writer thinks that 4 to 8 years with no president would be a great learning experience for all involved (both citizens and government).
In the end, as long as you vote, you've done your job as an American citizen. Vote for Hillary, vote for Trump, vote for yourself, but get out there and vote. Reach deep into the recesses of your soul and pick the candidate you want (not the candidate everyone else wants or the candidate you're pressured into picking). Also, whatever you do, don't forget about local elections, because that's where the real power is. Vote or not, it's up to each of us as Americans to decide. Good luck, America.

False Rape
Rape. One of the most evil things a human being can do. For a human being (not just women, because men get raped, too) to force themselves sexually is just villianous. Make no mistake, rape is vile and people who do such an act deserve to burn in the deepest recesses of Hell, no matter how hard they pray for forgiveness.
What about those who claim they were raped, but it turns out to be a lie. Yep, that's right. Not everyone who get accused of it actually does it. This writer has seen multiple stories where people tell straight up lies. Bill Cosby (who this writer could still be wrong on), Brian Banks, Nate Parker (by the way, you'll find a trend if you search these names), and others have all been lied on by vindictive women. While women aren't the only ones who do this, they are the primary perps.
Why do they do this? Any number of reasons. Maybe the sex was bad. Maybe she thought the sex would lead to a relationship that the other party didn't agree to (which is a different kind of rape). Perhaps the person is hurting and just wants someone else to hurt (which seems to be the case with Nate Parker). This writer's personal favorite is when the 'victim' just wants attention (which is what happened to Brian Banks). The 'victim' can literally cry rape because the sky is blue and be believed with no facts (and sometimes the person they accuse isn't even real).
What worse is that the government and public at large aid these 'victims' in their false narratives. The government makes BS laws that encourage 'victims' (women in particular) to lie without penalty. That's right. These people get to go to court and lie (which is a crime itself) and get away with it. How is this fair? What part of this makes sense? How are these 'victims' not rotting is jail for lying to a judge.
Even worse is that the general public will try to make you feel ashamed for not automatically believing these 'victims'. This writer remembers when he stood out and didn't say Mr. Cosby was a rapist. All this writer said was he wanted to hear all the fact before he took the women's side. People proceed to say that people like this writer make it harder for victims (real victims) to come out. Just so just understand, these people are saying we should crucify a person based solely on heresay. No proof, no witnesses, no footage, just heresay. Garbage. To this day, they still haven't proven that Mr. Cosby had anything but consensual sex with these 'victims'. So you're expected to hate a man who innocence is only being proven by each person that comes out against him. How does that work?
This writer personally knows someone who was accused of rape. Naturally, his 'victims' were caught lying because he had solid proof he didn't do what they said he did. What happened to them? Diddly squat, that's what. Meanwhile, this writer's friend's life is ruined over a lie. He degree, his job experience, and his good reputation meant nothing, even after he was proven innocent.
That's another thing. The accused can never move on, even after proven innocent. He (or she) will always be a rapist in the eye of the public despite not really being a rapist. Let this writer say it again. Your life can be ruined over a lie and you should never be allowed to recover. You're supposed to wallow in the shame of a crime you didn't commit and die broken and poor. That is bull stuff with a capital 'B'. This should be scary, particularly if you're a straight male of any race.
This post is getting long, so this writer will end it. False rape is just is bad as real rape, because in the end, lives will be ruined. Reputations and livelihoods will be destroyed and jail time will be served for lies. Actually, false rape is worse than real rape, because unlike real rape, the real criminals are never brought to justice. And the government, courts, and public think this is okay.
Until next time...

Even worse is that the general public will try to make you feel ashamed for not automatically believing these 'victims'. This writer remembers when he stood out and didn't say Mr. Cosby was a rapist. All this writer said was he wanted to hear all the fact before he took the women's side. People proceed to say that people like this writer make it harder for victims (real victims) to come out. Just so just understand, these people are saying we should crucify a person based solely on heresay. No proof, no witnesses, no footage, just heresay. Garbage. To this day, they still haven't proven that Mr. Cosby had anything but consensual sex with these 'victims'. So you're expected to hate a man who innocence is only being proven by each person that comes out against him. How does that work?
This writer personally knows someone who was accused of rape. Naturally, his 'victims' were caught lying because he had solid proof he didn't do what they said he did. What happened to them? Diddly squat, that's what. Meanwhile, this writer's friend's life is ruined over a lie. He degree, his job experience, and his good reputation meant nothing, even after he was proven innocent.
That's another thing. The accused can never move on, even after proven innocent. He (or she) will always be a rapist in the eye of the public despite not really being a rapist. Let this writer say it again. Your life can be ruined over a lie and you should never be allowed to recover. You're supposed to wallow in the shame of a crime you didn't commit and die broken and poor. That is bull stuff with a capital 'B'. This should be scary, particularly if you're a straight male of any race.
This post is getting long, so this writer will end it. False rape is just is bad as real rape, because in the end, lives will be ruined. Reputations and livelihoods will be destroyed and jail time will be served for lies. Actually, false rape is worse than real rape, because unlike real rape, the real criminals are never brought to justice. And the government, courts, and public think this is okay.
Until next time...

Straight Shaming
There is an attack on masculinity in America, that much can't be denied. Ever since the 80's men have been under attack. The media (surprise, surprise) has led the charge in this attack, backed by the government. This writer noticed it as a kid and now more than ever, young boys (and grown men, as well) are made to feel that their masculinity is something to be ashamed of or to be suppressed.
Naturally, being heterosexual is under attack along with masculinity. Now this writer doesn't have a problem with homosexuality, but people are going so far as to say heterosexuality is something to be ashamed of. They say liking the opposite sex is dirty and unnatural. They don't explain why(maybe they can't), but being heterosexual is something to be looked down upon.
People will even go so far as to blame straight, white males for everything that's gone wrong, going wrong, and will ever go wrong. One youtuber went so far as to equate being a heterosexual male to being a racist. This writer isn't sure how that works or how being a straight (usually white) male means you're a racist. In the words of a black woman on a show I forgot the name of, "What is it that you want straight white males to do?" If you're white, have a penis, and are straight, you're the cause of all evil? That's essentially what's being said. How is this fair? It isn't fair and there's no logic behind such a statement.
It's not just straight white males, but straight black males who have to deal with this garbage. "If you're a straight black male, you must like to beat and rape women," someone once said. Don't believe it, just ask Bill Cosby and Nate Parker, among others. Once again, who does that work and how's that fair? How does being a straight black male mean you want to rape women? Does anyone see how stupid this is getting?
Oh, but it still gets even more stupid. A youtuber went so far as to say being straight is a construct of white supremacy. WTF? The stupid things some people say. That is a slap in the face of both God and science(two diametrically opposed concepts), as well as any non-white straight person that has ever existed. Do you see what happens when you let the media (surprise, surprise) raise your children?
In the end, heterosexuality is as natural to some as homosexuality is to others. Stand up and say, "I'm male! I'm straight! Get used to it!" The same goes for those that happen to be homosexual. Let's all have pride in what we are instead of shaming others for what they are.

The Church
This writer is a straight, baptist male. He forgot the date and year of his baptism (it was posted on the bible he was given, but he conveniently lost it) but he remembers how he felt. A baptism is considered to be a rebirth of sorts and that's what it felt like. It was like a breath of fresh air. This writer was a new person.
That didn't matter to the church, though. A lot of the crap that happened in school still happened in the church. This writer was still by his peers and looked down upon by the adults, all for no reason. Needless to say, that sucked. If this writer wanted to constantly deal with bullies and be ignored by adults, he would have kept flunking third grade. Truly garbage.
This writer toughed it out until he became an adult and the experience wasn't any more satisfying. As one youtuber put it, it was like an extensions of high school. Everyone branched of into cliques and if you couldn't find a place to fit in, well it sucked to be you. It wasn't just limited to this writer, either. This writer can't tell you how many times he heard this "saved" people make fun of someones clothes or who needed a beating. This writer is isn't just talking about the general congregation. Deacons, choirs member, and even a few of the ministers started swearing like they were making a rap album as soon as the got of the doors. What a bunch of hypocrites.
This writer also noticed a lot of straight up BS in the sermons themselves. For one, the sermons are all recycled from the previous year. The writer is means the preacher will preach something, then the next year, he'll be saying the same thing on the same day. It's almost like the preacher is given a set of talking points to parrot instead of reading the bible for himself and writing the sermon in his own words.
Then, there those who don't practice what they preach. They tell you not to fornicate, then turn around and screw the choir director (whom they're not married to, by the way). They say you shouldn't do drugs, but then you'll catch them sniffing fumes in an alley. They'll trash talk behind people's backs, then pretend they're friends when they get face-to-face. The biggest kicker is when they spend years telling you homosexuality is bad and demonic, then years later tell you that you need to accept homosexuality (you know, that thing they spent years preaching against) or you'll burn in Hell. In consistancies like these and more made this writer realize the church and it's people are full of crap.
Don't mistake leaving the church as turning your back on God. This writer is simply saying that you don't have to go the the church to worship the Lord. In fact, you can often have a more fulfilling relationship with the Lord if you stay at home and pray before you watch football on Sunday (Go, Detroit Lions). You can still love the Lord as as much and you won't have to kiss another set of butts (hypocrite butts, to boot) to prove it.

Luke Cage Is Too Black?
Luke Cage is a Netflix hit. It has has everything a show needs...except white people apparently. This has some people in an uproar, crying that there aren't enough whites in the show. This writer only can only ask whether or not it's really that bad. No, this writer isn't talking about the lack of white people in the show. This writer is talking about a show about a successful show with a heavily black cast.
Decade after decade after decade, many shows have had all-white casts or shows with little or no diversity. A lot of these shows were hits. Other shows had mostly white casts with the occassional token of some other race (They weren't always black). These charcaters were (and still are) written as idiots, not normal, or barely human. Yeah, it sucks, but that's the vision of the people who created it. Fair enough.
So with respect to the vision of the creator or creators, shouldn't it be possible for them to create a world and include who they want or don't want, whether or not that happens to be whites. Just look at classics such as Dennis The Menace or The Brady Bunch. Those shows seemed to be lacking diversity, but people enjoyed them nonetheless without complaint. While people have complained about being underrepresented in their favorite shows, those same people will find a way to enjoy it whether or not diversity increases.
Personally, this writer has enjoyed many shows and movies where his people were barely there, tokens, or weren't represented at all. As a fan of anime, this writer's people aren't really there and that isn't always a bad thing in a medium where the creators pretend they don't know what's offensive and what isn't. This is so, because when they do create such characters, they're usually offensive and the creator hides behind the lie that they didn't know it was offensive. At times like this, this writer would prefer it if his people weren't represented in the medium at all.
Here's an example of what this writer means about being better to not be represented at all. Let's say the creators say, "The people are right. We need a white character to be as be a presence as Luke Cage." Then the writer would proceed to creator a toothless, beer-drinking Klansman who lynches black men, rapes black women and children, and sleeps with his own sister when he has a moment to spare. Obviously (hopefully), white viewers would be angry (and rightfully so) and complain about being represented by this character. Let's also assume the creator turned around and said, "If you don't like the character, deal with. You asked for a token and we gave you a token." You'd rather not be represented at all if the creators pulled a stunt like that. You might even (and probably should) stop watching although.
In the end, it doesn't matter what the make up of the cast and characters, the show is good. As stated before, there are plenty of great shows with little or no diversity. Luke Cage just happens to be one of those show. In other words, let's stop complaining, grab some snacks, and enjoy the show. Or tune out.

The Return of Chris Hansen
In the mid-2000's there was a show on NBC called To Catch A Predator. In this show, host Chris Hansen set up stings to catch child predators and get them arrested. To do this, he worked with a organizations, including the local police, to look for people online trying to solicit boys and girls for sex. He also worked with a child decoy, who was usually eighteen or nineteen, for the actual meeting with the predator. It's in these face to face meetings where the hilarity happened.
Once the predator took the bait and went to the house, he was met with said decoy. The decoy and the predator would make small talk for a bit before Mr. Hansen emerged from the shadows like a ninja to confront them, usually to the predator's surprise. When the predator tried to deny their intentions, Mr. Hansen would present him with multiple e-mails to contradict the denial.
Then the camera men came out of nowhere and the predator knew he was screwed. People all across America would see their face, know their name, and what they did for work. Some of these people were (as this writer said in his Public Schools post) teachers who have daily access to children. If that's not scary, then the word needs to be redefined.
The humor came when the predators realized they were up a creek. Some begged, some cried, and a few even tried to attack Mr. Hansen. Ultimately, the predator would be sent outside into a police ambush and promptly arrested. It was satistfying, entertaining, and gave this writer hours of laughter.
So, where's the BS? The show was canceled and Mr. Hansen was given the ax by NBC. There were a number of reason why this happened, all of them BS. Chief among the is the criminals were getting smarter and that the sting wasn't working as much. There was actually some truth to this as in later episodes, people would stake out the house to make sure it wasn't a setup. Some people would see the decoy and make a break for it or get scared and avoid the house altogether. Others still would take the bait and knew exactly who he was and what awaited them outside. The supposed nail in the show's coffin was when a big time CEO realized he had fallen for a trap and commited suicide when the police came to arrest him.
Anyway, this writer was heartbroken when he realized the show was canceled. This writer faithfully watched the show. Where would he see child predators get humiliated and arrested on national TV? How could NBC cancel such a necesary show?
Enter Crime Watch Daily. Mr. Hansen is now on that show, catching child predators again. While it's not quite the same as his NBC show (as they don't devote entire episodes to it) the reactions of the predators are just as funny and their occupations just as shocking. As stated in the Public Schools post, some of the predators are teachers, tutors, and youth sports coaches with daily access to children. If that's not scary, then the word needs to be redefined.
This writer is happy Mr. Hansen is back on the air, doing what he does best. The only thing wrong with the situation is that he never should have been taken off the air to begin with. WTF, NBC?

Trump Said What?
Republican presidential nominee Donald trump recnetly made a controversial staements about women in a video that has been made public. The statements are said to be so out-of-line that the Republicans are demanding he drop out of the race for President. This writer agrees the the statement are not something becoming of a potential President. The witer has to ask one question; Is anyone really surprised by this?
This is Donald Trump we're talking about here. All he's done is say the stupidest crap imaginable for years and years. He's only gotten worse since he announced his candidacy. Where was all this outrage when he was saying racist and mysogynistic things before? These critics that have suddenly emerged out of nowhere couldn't be found. Those same Republicans urging him to drop out were shaking his hand, laughing and eating with him, and taking pictures when he was saying racist crap about Mexicans, Arabs, and African Americans, as well as women (Looking at you Mitt Romney). Republicans knew what they were getting when they pushed this guy to the moon, but they supported him anyway. Like it or not, Republicans, this is the man you wanted and now you're stuck with him.
This writer will go out on a limb say that what he said wasn't even as bad as the stuff he's said in the past. This writer can't believe it, but he's actually defending Donald freaking Trump. Somebody call the Devil and ask him if Hell has frozen over. Seriously, what he said is no worse than what the average man says when he gets together with his friends to shoot some pool (Oh, the things this writer has heard). This writer isn't saying that it isn't bad, just that of all the things he's said, this fairly tame statement is what sets off Republicans. It reeks of BS and this writer doesn't buy the outrage.
Also, let's consider all the things that others have been caught on tape saying who got off easy (Hulk Hogan) or came out better off despite appearing to have lost a lot (Donald Sterling). This writer can't blame Mr. Trump for saying what he said in public when people (including Mr. Trump himself) have essentially been rewarded for saying controversial things. They say equally bad stuff on Fox News, yet we're not asking them to quit their jobs and shutdown the channel.
This writer personally hopes Mr. Trump doesn't give in and stays in the race. He's spit in the face of so many demographics and America as a whole, so why back down now. America has only rewarded him for spitting in it's face. If Republicans seriously wanted another candidate, they'd have picked him from the onset instead of letting this guy take the lead. The options were out there.
Finally, why did the media (once again, is this a surprise) release it now? They sat on this for ten years. What do they have to gain from this? They could have released when he relased his candidacy so that Republicans could have given him the boot (if they we're serious) and pushed for another candidate early on. If the Republican lose the White House, it will be them (not the media) who suffer for trotting out a terrible candidate to challenge a bad candidate (Hillary sucks and the Democrats know it).
Well, this post could get pretty long, so this writer will wrap it up. Mr. Trump has said worse. It's just that simple. He's said worse about minorities and especially women, yet nobody ever called him out or said he was wrong. Instead of getting mad at Donald Trump for simply doing what he's been known to do for years, let's get mad it the media for not releasing this footage earlier, when it could have done some good.

Cosby-Inspired Law Change?
California Governor Jerry Brown has recently signed a bill to eliminating the statute of limitations on sex crimes. This in and of itself isn't a problem isn't a problem. This writer has no problem with making criminals pay for their past crimes.
The problem (aka BS reasoning) with this is that this move was inspired by the current issues plaguging the lengendary actor, Mr. Bill Cosby. Where's the BS? It's in the fact that there is no solid evidence that he did anything but have consensual sex with these women. A lot of these women have been proven to be lying, but that doesn't matter to the law makers or public at large. Fifty women came out, so it must be true. Not necesarily.
This writer remembers in second grade, the entire classroom teamed up against him to get him in trouble with the teacher. These kids cranked their BS machine into high gear and told lie after lie, which reulted in this writer being penalized. It didn't involve sex crimes or jail time, but that's beside the point. The point is that this writer got in trouble because the majority had their lies lined up. To simplify it further, just because at lot of people say someone did something doesn't make it true.
This writer isn't saying that Mr. Cosby did or didn't do anything. He's saying that there's no proof that he did it and that numbers don't mean anything without solid evidence or facts to back it up. Now, laws are being changed because we can't proof that a potentially innocent man did anything wrong because multiple 'victims' could (emphasis on could) be lying. Do you see what happens when logic is trumped by emotion? This writer alway though the phrase was "innocent until proven guilty", not "guilty because a bunch of people come out with no proof". How is this fair?
A few people told this writer that his stance makes it hard for rape victims to come out and say they've been raped. This is false. Liars make it harder for the victims, because if there are too many liar, people question the truth who's really a victim. As stated before, this writer isn't saying that all of these women are lying, but (as stated in this writer's personal example) any number of people can get together and lie on an individual.
On the good side, actual predators won't be able to run and wait out the statute of limitations. The only thing that will have to be done is to sort out the real victims from the liars. But then again, why wait to report a rape. Report it as soon as possible, so that you'll have a stronger chance at proving your case and getting a scumbag of the street, instead of waiting decades, when the possible proof has all but vanished.

These kids cranked their BS machine into high gear and told lie after lie, which reulted in this writer being penalized. It didn't involve sex crimes or jail time, but that's beside the point. The point is that this writer got in trouble because the majority had their lies lined up. To simplify it further, just because at lot of people say someone did something doesn't make it true.
This writer isn't saying that Mr. Cosby did or didn't do anything. He's saying that there's no proof that he did it and that numbers don't mean anything without solid evidence or facts to back it up. Now, laws are being changed because we can't proof that a potentially innocent man did anything wrong because multiple 'victims' could (emphasis on could) be lying. Do you see what happens when logic is trumped by emotion? This writer alway though the phrase was "innocent until proven guilty", not "guilty because a bunch of people come out with no proof". How is this fair?
A few people told this writer that his stance makes it hard for rape victims to come out and say they've been raped. This is false. Liars make it harder for the victims, because if there are too many liar, people question the truth who's really a victim. As stated before, this writer isn't saying that all of these women are lying, but (as stated in this writer's personal example) any number of people can get together and lie on an individual.
On the good side, actual predators won't be able to run and wait out the statute of limitations. The only thing that will have to be done is to sort out the real victims from the liars. But then again, why wait to report a rape. Report it as soon as possible, so that you'll have a stronger chance at proving your case and getting a scumbag of the street, instead of waiting decades, when the possible proof has all but vanished.
Until next time...

The Media pt. 2
Well, it's time to break out the shovels and continue digging into this pile. In the last media post, this writer touched on the things that the media does. The biggest thing they do is corrupt viewers. They push stereotypes, sexualize women and children, among other things. They do this through means of seemingly harmless shows. Generally, the shows really are harmless, but people (especially children) are vulnerable to this brainwashing by the media.
Old shows like Home Improvement and Everybody Loves Raymond depict males as idiots who can't understand emotions. Talk shows like Maury and Jerry Springer have pushed the 'Men Are All Cheaters' narrative for about twenty-five years each. What's the end result? You've got a generation of boys who don't want to be men and men who who don't know how to be men. They didn't get that way by watching Good Times.
Some shows push stereotypes. There's this popular show on Fox called Empire. The show is filled with stereotypical characters, but this writer gave it a chance anyway. Then, one of the characters uttered a phrase that turned him completely off to the show. "There's so much homophobia in the black community." Once that was said, this writer realized whoever wrote this crap has no sense of history and/or hasn't lived in an African American neighborhood. If he did, he couldn't write a line like that and feel good about. The producer, a gay African American himself, co-signed this flat-out lie for a quick buck. That's garbage and he knows it.
Still, other shows poison your children by making them disrespectful to their elders. Kids will tell their parents to shut up in public, emulating the characters they see on TV. Disney Channel has a number of shows where parents come off as idiots who are not to be listened to or respected. This has various results. The first is that you have kids who will try to boss around or cuss out their parents. This would not happen twenty or thirty years ago, as these kids would be left toothless.
The second result is the you've got parents (and adults in general) trying to be friends with children and negotiate. This is bad as you now have weak parents who are afraid their children won't be their firend, so they won't do want a parent needs to do. They want to be like the cool parent on TV instead of being teaching those children how to children how to survive without them. This can promote pedophilia and hebophilia, because these adults feel they can 'relate' better with children.
Naturally, there is a push to sexaulize children through TV and other media sources. A few show will trot out kids in the most revealing clothes and one of the adult characters will make make a sexual remark about the children to another adult, mostly in jest, but the statement is made nonetheless. This writer remembers a scene from Seinfeld (a pretty good show, by the way) where the George Constanza character got caught ogling a fifteen-year old girl in her home. As mentioned before, this writer likes the show, but how is this joke okay? How was George not being hauled away in handcuffs and thrown under the jail. This isn't the only show to do such a joke, but these post can only be so long.
Keep those shovels and rubber gloves handy, because this isn't the last you'll read about the media. As stated in the last post, this is the biggest pile of BS yet.

The Media
Well, it's that time. You knew this was coming, so don't act surprised. If you remember way back to to this writer's first post, you'll remember what this writer said about dealing with BS. You can either sift through it and reduce it's effects or you can be or farmer and use it. It's time to address one of those farmers; the media. With the possible exception of government, there has been not a bigger purveyor of BS than the media.
Back when this writer was a little writer, his grandmother told him something he didn't understand at the time. "There are devils on TV," she said. This writer didn't take her seriously at the time, a result of being a stupid kid at the time. Now, as a somewhat enlightened adult, this writer realizes she was right.
The media pushes a number of things, most of which are harmful to certain demographics and determental to the forward progess of humanity as a whole. They push sexuality on kids, inferiority on men, stereotypes on demographics, and just plain old division on the entire human race.
News organizations are currently in the middle of pushing a race war. Fox News is leading the way in this area. They call themselves "fair and balanced". The truth is that they are unfair and presented by the unbalanced. All they do is push hatred, bigotry, and iniquity. They cater to the lowest common demonator of America, as evidence by them defending psychopaths such as Dylan Roof and George Zimmerman. They trot out their female reporters in the shortest possible skirts to cater to males sex drive to help spew this hatred. Ironically, these same women are now complaining about sexual harassment, but that's an issue for another time.
Another thing that this writer notices about Fox News is that these people are so angry. What are they so angry for? What has anyone done to this people to make them so mad? They yell until they turn red. They overtalk and cut off their guests, killing any chance at intelligent discussion or debate. This is why this writer calls them unbalanced. These reporters are textbook loons. Bill O'Reilly is the only one who passes as watchable.
MSNBC is only slightly better. Yes, they cut off there guests when they're about to say something that doesn't line up with what they say, so intelligent debate isn't really possible here. However, their reporters are generally calmer. They just don't seem as anrgy as the people on Fox News. The women are presented in a more respectful manner, so we can take them seriously as reporters instead as using them as inspiration for the next jerk off session. In short, while they still lean far in one direction, they're closer to fair and balanced than Fox.
Well, this is a big pile, the biggest this writer has ever had to dig into. So big, this writer can't fit it all in one short post. Stay tuned for future posts on this topic.

Tales From The Bus 2
Recently, this writer witnessed a bus driver go off on a man. Why? For getting on the bus. Yep. It's getting to the point where even the drivers don't want you to ride the bus. The driver apparently got angry at the passenger for getting on the bus when he wasn't there. According to the driver, he closed the door and the the passenger somehow opened the door and got on. It was later comfirmed the another passenger let the person on.
The passenger he yelled at was and African American male. Even though he was a grown man, the driver spoke to him like an adult trying to intimidate a child. This writer couldn't help but notice the driver didn't have nearly the same vitriol for the person that let him on the bus(Who wasn't African American). This writer doesn't want to use the R-word or the B-word, but it it seemed strange that he used a different tone with the person that got on the bus than the person that let him on. Just saying. The driver did apologize later during the ride, but the difference in tone from one rider to the other was disturbing.
This driver proceeded to driver like a maniac all the way to the end of the route (or thew beginning as the transit center was the destination). This writer thought we might tip over a few times. Why was he driving so fast? For a minute, this writer thought Keanu Reeves was going to jump on the bus from a moving vehicle. Fortunately, we made it safely to the transit center.
One day, another driver just passed up three stops after she was signaled to stop. She just didn't stop for whatever reason. When she did stop, we were at the end of the line. Those poor people who wanted the earlier stop had to walk half a mile back to get home. Naturally, the driver didn't apologize for the inconvenience. Who is hiring and paying these people?
Finally, what bus post is complete without disgusting pictures?
Hopefully, this writer won't have anymore horrifying bus stories. Meh, who is this writer kidding? It's the bus. Of course there will be more.

Not sure what that is or used to be.

The Fairer Sex?
Since childhood, this writer has been told by various sources that are delicate flowers and that you shouldn't judge them. They don't lie, so you you should always believe them when they speak. They will stand beside you and ease your pain. They are innocent, clean, fragile creatures that must be protected at all costs. They are the superior gender and men really are incompetent. If you've read the title of this blog, then you know how this goes. It's time to break out the shovels and dig into this pile.
If you sit down and listen as a random group of women walk past, you'll hear them say the must disgusting things. They talk about whose lower extremites they sucked, whose ass they're going to kick, whose man they're going to steal, among other colorful things. It's not just adult women, either. Little first graders are saying this stuff, as well.
On top of talking like sailors, they fight like them, too. I'm not just talking about slapping, kicking and hair-pulling. I'm mean UFC-caliber fights, minus the referee and steel cage. You don't have to look hard to find these fights, either. A quick trip to You Tube or World Star Hip Hop will yield plenty of results.
They don't just fight women, either. They will attack men, usually for no good reason. Just ask Rayon McIntosh, who was working at a McDonald's when he was attacked by two women. They were coming behind the counter, out for his blood, and he had to defend himself with a metal bar. They were treated like victims while he was made out to be the bad guy. What was he supposed to do, take a beating and possibly die?
Another example involves a shocking You Tube video where a woman got mad at her son's father and took it out on the son. First, she throws him to the ground. Then, she kicks him in the stomach as hard as she can, injuring him so badly he couldn't move. Finally, she drags him outside, throws him into the snow like she's tossing a sack of garbage and walks off, leaving him hurting. Nothing like a mother's gentle touch, huh?
Most women this writer has come into contact with aren't even clean. This writer been roommates in mixed houses four times. Each time a woman ran the house. Three off those four times, the conditions were on the verge of deplorable. This writer won't talk about everything here. He will say that the houses were generally dirty and usually infested by pests such as mice and roaches.
This disgusting nature extends to work as well. In a past lifetime, this writer was a janitor. He had to clean both men's and women's bathrooms. Hands down, the women's bathrooms were more disgusting. The men's rooms just had a few stay drops of piss here and there.
The women's bathrooms had that and more. The writer isn't sure how women can miss the toilet, but they found a way. Toilet paper was strewn everywhere. Toilets were clogged because some moron decided to try to flush hand towels. Empty bottles of booze could be found in the tampon traps. The floors were littered with paper towels, baking flour, and vomit. However, nothing was as bad as the smell of period blood, which the women's room often smelled like(This writer still has nightmares about that smell). WTF, women? It's almost like Ryan (Lyin') Lochte changed genders.
Much like the Men Are Worthless post, this post is not meant to be an attack on women. This post is only meant to shatter the illusion that women are these flawless creatures who can do no wrong. They are human beings just like men and should be looked at, flaws and all, just like men.

Ryan Lochte
During the Rio Olympics, swimmer Ryan Lochte and his friends trashed a gas station bathroom and refused to pay for the damages. They lied and said they were robbed at gunpoint. Heck, Ryan (Lyin' from this point forward) even fled Rio. So how did America show how much they disapproved of what he did? They gave him a spot on ABC's Dancing With The Stars.
Yep. He was rewarded for going to another country, making a scene, lying about it, and fleeing. Is that what we do America? Reward people for being pricks? Yes, there was a protest live on the air, which required security to be called, but that's beside the point. The point is that he should have never been on the show to begin with. How does one get rewarded for being a vandal? Who's going to be on next season's DWTS? George Zimmerman?
Of course, the media has to swoop in and save the day. So who did the media spin this? After it was found out that he lied about being robbed, they chalked it up to him being a kid and making a mistakes. That's right. A thirty-two year old man is now still just a kid. Bull stuff. If we show mercy to kids in America, then why was Tamir Rice (who was actually a kid) shot and killed by law enforcement officers because of a mistake.
This writer isn't saying Lyin' should get shot. He's just pointing out the hypocracy. If you're a thirty-two year old vandal, you're a kid who made a mistake and you get to skate by. But if you're a twelve year old with a toy gun, the law will come down on you with the wrath of God. In what screwed up alternate dimension does this make sense? Even Bizarro World isn't that messed up.

The Supermarket
This wirter will start off by saying that supermarket themselves aren't bull. They are quite the asset, in fact. They provide food and other goods to the populace. They also provide jobs to those who would otherwise be jobless. Overall, supermarkets are good, but bull stuff can happen and usually does.
First off, bull can happen before you even step into the store. That's right. This writer is talking about the parking lot. Parking can be a problem, but as this writer rides a bike, he doesn't have to worry about that. What he does have to worry about is psycotic drivers. Sometimes cars zip around the parking lot, almost as if they're on the freeway. You have to keep on your toes and ride or walk with caution, because when human being and car meet, car will always win.
Inside the store is where the real bull goes down. One source of bull is sales. Don't get this writer wrong. Sales are a good way to save money. Where the sales go wrong is when an item isn't in stock. This writer isn't talking about when an item sales out. He talking about when an item isn't in stock from the start of the sale. They'll put up the the sale sticker and won't stock the item for the duration (usually a whole week) of the sale. WTF? How can people take advantage of the lower price if you don't put the item out to be sold. That just reeks of brain damage.
Another problem can come from them actually stocking items. They will move big, heavy pallets down the aisles and block off an item you're trying to get to. When this writer says the pallets are heavy, he means HEAVY. You sholudn't have to be the Incredible Hulk to get to the pudding cups. Sometimes the workers will move the offending pallet, but other times they'll disappear and never come back, meaning you'll have to go without. How is this allowed.
Finally, after you have your cart full of goods, you have to wait in line. The lines can get extremely long and some people have a lot of items. Then the cashier scans items very slowly, looking as if she's contemplating where her life went wrong. That's not good if you have a lot of stuff, no car, and have to swallow your pride to catch the bus. You could miss the bus you need.
Another problem with the cashier lanes is that there are so few open. They'll have fifty lanes, but cashiers are only working two of them. Managers stand by and watch, as if pitying the poor cashiers they sent to their own torture. Get some more people working these lanes, please! Self checkouts help, but when the pressure is on they start shutting them down. It's almost like they know you have a bus to catch and are doing everything in they're power to get you to miss it.
So in conclusion, good establishments like the supermarket still have a healthy dose off bull stuff. Most of this writer's trips go well, but when bull stuff happens, it piles up to those high ceilings these places tend to have.

African Americans, Rap, and the N-word
It was after a hard day's work when this writer got on the bus (hides face in shame). A group of African Americans were sitting in the back of the bus, whooping and laughing. This writer was nearby and they were loud, so he couldn't help but listen. What he heard was appalling.
What was it? A middle-aged African American male was rapping. Naturally, he was spewing the N-word like it was going out of style. His audience, mainly comprised of teenaged females, were cheering, encouraging this idiot to keep demeaning his own people. Unlike the professional rappers who have platnium records and millions of dollars to somewhat justify their used of the word, this moron was just an everyday man. Sickening.
Also, you can approach any random group of African American and 70 percent of the time, the N-word will be said. It's not just young and naive people, either. One day, this writer heard two fifty-year old African Americans saying at the end of every sentence. In other words, people who should know better are saying it. What's their excuse?
As mentioned in the N-word post, rap is a big part of the problem. Rappers will say they are taking the power back or that it or that it's a term of endearment. Anyone with any intellect knows that that's a load of bull crap. The reality is that it's just a way to keep a slur alive by getting the people to embrace it. And it's working.
Rap is the only genre that uses the slur for it's target audience. It's not just a few times, either. For example Master P has this song called "I'm Alright". This song is two minutes and forty-six seconds long. In that short time span the N-word is spewed thirty-eight times. Yep. Thirty-eight. Shameful. What's worse is that there's probably a song that say it more, which is a scary thought.
Heck, there's a legendary rap group called NWA, subject of the movie Straight Outta Compton. Three guesses what the 'N' in NWA means. Yep. The N-word is in their very name (facepalm). The called themselves the N-word, made it stick, and became one of the most well-known music groups of all time.
Various others use the word in their titles. Can this really be life?
African Americans are the only people in the world who embrace a slur. No other group of people in the history of mankind have does this. Call a Jew the K-word. Call a Mexican the S-word. Call a Chinese person the C-word. Call a gay person the F-word. See how far you get if you call any other group their slur. However, call an African American the N-word and there's a good chance he'll want to fight, but there's an equally good chance he'll treat you like family. How is this possible?
Simply put, the N-word is acceptable because the people who are its target have accepted it. The word woun't die unless African Americans kill it. If people (not just African American) stopped supporting rappers or others (because it's not just rappers) who use the word, these artist would have to change their style or starve. It doesn't matter what they say their intent is, at the end of the day, they are pushing a slur and keeping it alive. This can't happen without the support of the people.
Until next time...
What was it? A middle-aged African American male was rapping. Naturally, he was spewing the N-word like it was going out of style. His audience, mainly comprised of teenaged females, were cheering, encouraging this idiot to keep demeaning his own people. Unlike the professional rappers who have platnium records and millions of dollars to somewhat justify their used of the word, this moron was just an everyday man. Sickening.
Also, you can approach any random group of African American and 70 percent of the time, the N-word will be said. It's not just young and naive people, either. One day, this writer heard two fifty-year old African Americans saying at the end of every sentence. In other words, people who should know better are saying it. What's their excuse?

Tales From the Bus
You all know how this writer feels about the bus. This writer will almost always recommend against the bus for various reason. Drivers who are bad and/or unprofessional, passengers who are stupid, schedule-shattering detours, and generally bad upkeep are among the reasons. But this writer knows all too well that sometimes it can't be avoided.
First, let's start with the people who are always there, no matter what; the drivers. Admittedly, the drivers have improved these days. There are still a few scumbags. For example, there's this one driver who just stares at this writer while he's paying his fare. She doesn't say hello like she does to other passengers. Either she doesn't like this writer for some unknown reason, thinks this writer is an alien species masquerading as a human, or she doesn't think this writer can afford the fare. It's annoying and possibly unprofessional on some level.
Then there are the drivers who do nothing to enforce the rules. Once, this writer witnessed two teenagers fighting on the bus. The driver did nothing. He didn't even tell them to stop. The passengers broke it up and threw them off the bus. WTF, driver? At least call security.
Finally, you have the wild drivers. This writer can't count the number of times drivers have almost hit people or completely pass up stops after the being signaled to stop. Sometimes, people have the walk up and tell the driver they pulled the cord half a block ago to get the moron to stop. Garbage. Who is hiring and paying these people?
Passengers aren't always innocent. There will be cussing, eating, and attempting to not pay fare going on.
Next up, detours. As the writer said in his first bus post, you have to be on your toes with those detours or you will miss the bus. Once, this writer was stand at a stop with eleven other people. Then, with no warning, this writer sees the bus turning a corner half a block behind us, completely passing all of us. Apparently it was a detour, which we weren't warned about. The result was twelve people standing there looking stupid as the bus zoomed off. Unacceptable.
Finally, there is the upkeep. Well, this writer will let these pictures do the talking:
The bus. Home of the unexpected...and the disgusting. Avoid it if you can. Pray if you can't.

Hey! Free pop!
Reese's Pieces, anyone?
What the heck is this?

Colin Kaepernick
NFL quarterback Colin Kapernick recently came under scrutiny for refusing to stand during the national anthem before a football game. People have come out of the woodwork to lambast this man. People burned his jerseys, executives say they won't sign him, other players attacked him, and there are rumors that he may never play in the NFL again if he gets cut by his current team. Heck, even his own birth mother (who gave him up for adoption, by the way) turned against him.
All this because he refused to sign a song and salute a piece of cloth. Not to be disrespectful, but at the end of the day, the national anthem is just a song. It won't get offended if you don't sing it. Likewise, the flag is just a piece of cloth that doesn't care if you salute it or not. Also, it is his American right to not stand and sing. It doesn't make him any less patrioitic than the guy who salutes the flag every morning after putting on his red, white, and blue underwear.
If you look hard, you can find videos of people burning the flag or even wiping their buttocks with it. Somehow, these people are only exercising their rights, but not standing for the flag is a bridge too far. Think about that. We're saying that destroying the flag isn't as bad as doing nothing as all. Maybe this writer doesn't understand, but that is some seriously twisted logic. Flag burners don't get fired from their jobs, but one guy doesn't stand up for the national anthem and it's off with his head? That is some serious bull stuff.
Looking even further into the matter, you'll find that the NFL doesn't require its players to stand for the national anthem. Yep, you read right. This player is being condemned despite not breaking any of his job's rules or any of his government's laws. He was well within his right to stand or not. If he didn't do anything wrong at any level, why is he being treated like the worst thing since Osama bin Laden? This writer is doing the math and it doesn't add up.
This writer isn't saying that he doesn't have the right to protest or that other's don't have the right to protest against his protest. This writer is simply wondering if this is something that should make him an outcast. As stated before, others have done much worse to symbols of America. If we can clamp down on this guy, surely we can clamp down on those other guys? If we can ignore the other guys and pass it off as exercising their American rights, can't we give this guy that same leeway?
At the end of the day, he didn't blow up any skyscrappers or speak badly about America. All he did was refuse to stand for a song and a flag. He did the most American thing you can do and that's stand (or sit, in this case) for what he believed in. Looking at it that way, can you really find anything un-American about what he did?

Legend Preston
Forgive this writer's lateness on this story, but this wasn't national news and as such, this writer only just found out. Recently a Newark boy was chase by police with drawn guns. This boy, ten-year old Legend Preston, was just playing basketball when the incident happened.
What's the excuse the police used to justify this? He looked someone. Yep. Ripped straight out of the handbook of racist terms, that's what they went with. To be fair, they actually were chasing someone. For the sake of comparison, let's see just how much a like this boy looks compared to the man they were chasing. Legend is on the left and the suspect is on the right.
As you can see, they are practically twins. Total bull stuff. The suspect is twice his age and has dreadlocks. Legend is big for his age, but he's not nearly as big as the guy they were chasing. When police can't tell the difference between a suspect and an innocent boy that looks nothing like him, there's a problem.
If you dig deep enough into this pile, there is some good that came from this. The neighborhood came to Legend's aid, bravely shielding him from the police. They weren't going to watch as another innocent person was possibly gunned down. This writer commends these people, whoever they are.

The Laundromat
You know it, you hate it, you don't want to use it. It's the laundromat. Now this writer won't deny that this is a useful building for those who don't have a wash and dryer. Or perhaps your washer and/or dryer is broken and you're in a pinch. But like the bus, if you don't have to use it, don't.
What's so bad about the laundromat? Quite a few things. First, you have the journey there. You have to pack up all your laundry leave your house. If you have a car, or at least a wagon, this is the easy part. If you're like this writer and don't have a car, you're kind of up a creek. You either have to hike up the road with a bag of clothes as heavy as you, like Christian from Pilgrim's Progess carrying his burden. You get sweat and your body aches. That doesn't include bleach and detergent, which might add another ten or so pounds to this 'burden'. Your other option is to swallow your pride and (sigh) catch the bus. This is the only time this writer will recommend the bus, so that you tell you something about how much these bags can weigh.
Then, after you get there, pray you can find a machine right away. If not, you might have to wait as long as a half an hour. Not good when you're sweat, hurting, and angry. When it does upen up, you'd better be quick, becase you're likely, not the only one waiting. If you're too slow, get ready to wait some more.
When you a machine, you'd better hope it's clean. No joke. This writer has seen a multitude of disgusting things in washer. Candy, candy wrappers, hair or weave, combs, hair clip, and dried feces, among other things. Then, the machine may not work right. This writer has watched as quarters were eaten or machine stopping mid-wash.
The dryers aren't as dirty as the washers, but the wait can be excruciating. This writer has literally seen five people using thirty dryers. They'll have one dryer full, while another will have just a pair of socks. If only this writer was exaggerating. All this time, you'll be waiting. Ugh!
Much like with the washers, you'd better hope you get a good machine. Some machines will dry your clothes with just three quarters, others won't dry with any less than seven. Get a bad dryer and you'll be pissing money right down the toilet.
Then, there are kids running around out of control. They dart around, throw toys, screw with machines, and stare like morons. Yeah, good times.
Once the clothes are dry, it's time to pack up your 'burden' and schlep it back home, unless buses are still running. After you get you clothes back home, you do feel a sense of accomplishment, but was it worth it. Give this writer a house with a washer and dryer any day.

You Don't Have a Girlfriend, So You Must Be Gay
In the Public Schools post, this writer talked about how people start focusing on sex as kids. One of the things this writer pointed out is the idea the if you are screwing, you're gay. Where did this mindset come from? Who knows?
This writer remembers a girl in high school was obviously showing an interest in him. She was fat and ugly, so being the shallow person he is, this writer politely rejected her advance. The girl responded by calling this writer gay. This writer didn't understand because there's no way this girl could have know that with any certainty. No, this writer didn't have a girl on each arm, but he didn't have a boy on each arm either.
What this writer deduced is that this girl wasn't popular with the guys and that this writer was her last resort. This writer also deduced that simply having standards meant he was gay. The fact that he wouldn't just lay down with any old girl was enough to brand him a homosexual. It didn't no matter if she was ugly, or stupid, or just an crappy person.
The point of such a tactic is to shame you out of your standards so that you'll settle for someone you aren't interested in. This writer sees the results all the time. You'll see this buff, good-looking guy with this sloppy, out shape woman and you say to yourself, "something about this doesn't look right." Those guys were probably called gay and shamed out of their standards. Then, to prove they are straight, they'll take that woman as theirs. This writer hates to say it, but it's true.
This tactic is even utilized by family members. For a whole years, this writer's uncle asked him him if he had a girlfriend. When this writer said no, the uncle said, "You must be gay," or, "You gay?" To an extent, this writer understands why an outsider might say something like that. They are trying to get something. But what would a family member get from seeing this writer with a woman?
On another note, this proves that while gay life is being pushed by the media, gays as a whole are still outcasts. Why else would the word be used as an insult? Just an observation from a straight male.

Public Schools
Every city has these cesspools. There is a good chance that, like this writer, you've gone to one. Public schools try to pass themselves off as eduactional facilities, but nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, they are nothing more than dens of fighting, lust, and unfair treatment. Oh, the stories this writer could tell.
This writer remembers elementary school, mainly because of the fights and near-fights. For whatever reason, this writer had a bullseye on him and everyone lined up to take their shots. This is when this writer learned he had to fight if he was going to survive, because the grown ups didn't care. Teachers did the least least they could to prevent a situation. It was only after the fight started that they decided to intervene. Violent 3rd graders and teachers that hate their jobs don't make for a pleasant educational experience.
In middle school, sex came into play. It was all about who could have been gay or who was screwing who. To this writer, it was like they were speaking Russian. This writer didn't know what busting a cherry meant or what a cherry boy was until after graduating high school. Looking back, this writer can't believe children actually spoke like that. This writer doesn't even spoke like that as a grown man. At the time, this writer was enjoying being a kid and getting the best grades he could, not thinking about which girl he wanted to plow, so the enviroment was quiet uncomfortable.
In high school, the sex and violence ratcheted up. There was a fight every week and while this writer never had to physical fight in those four years, there were MANY near-fights and being targeted by cliques. Sexuality was at an all-time high, as if you hadn't had sex yet, you were considered gay. Nobody took into account that some people didn't want to have sex because they were happen being a virgin, saving themselves for marriage, or just had more important things to do (If you can believe any of that).
The sex in high school isn't just limited to the students either. The teachers would get involved. Whether it was about who the teacher screwed or who wanted to screw the teacher, you heard things which were sometimes confirmed by the teacher losing their job or going to jail. This writer will go so far as to say the reason some of these people became teachers is solely to have access to your children. The children aren't innocent either, flirting with and offering themselves to these teachers. The whole situation was unsettling.
However, the most prevailing theme across all grades is what you're wearing. Everyday, it was about how lame your shoes were or how your pants were to tight because they didn't sag. Honestly, this writer often felt he was going to an all-girls school, because it was all about shoes and clothes. Much like sex talk, it was like they were speaking Russian to this writer. This writer wasn't worry about whether he wore Nike's (God, Jordan's are ugly) or wearing sagging pants (which is what gay people do in jail to let you know they're gay). It was weird.
So to wrap thing up, this writer recommends against public schools. Private schools and home schooling are where it's at. That's what this writer is going to do with his kids if he ever has any. If this post has any teenage or pre-teen readers, beg your parents to send you to private school. You (probably) won't regret it. However, if you like fighting, promiscuous classmates, and predator teachers, public school is for you.

Thieves
Imagine you just got a brand new whatever. You worked for days, weeks, months, or even years to get it. You come to like it, love it or perhaps even idolize it. At the very least you need it. Then someone comes around and takes it like they own it. Just like that, all your work and/or money is all for naught. Enter thieves, the bane of this writer's existence.
As kids, we all heard of Robin Hood. He was supposedly an honorable thief. He was brave and bold and all that crap. We got behind him because he rose up against iniquity and injustice imposed on the people by an unfair government. If only real thieves were that noble.
Anyone who's had to deal with thieves knows how it really feels to be stolen from. It sucks. This writer has lost roughly seven bikes to thieves. They were cheap bikes, but that doesn't matter. The money I invested went swirling right down the crapper. That's the point. Thieves take things without any consideration with what you my have invested or whether you need it. That, friends, is bull stuff.
This writer has lived with people who have stolen from him while he was at work or in the shower. This writer has literally lost hundred of dollars of food to these cravens. What's worse is that the whole house was filled with these immoral devils, so this writer didn't even know which person to get mad at. As said before, they don't consider your need for what they take (Good thing this writer is done with those people).
You might be able to deduce that this writer doesn't like thieves. Thieves are the second worst people in the world, just barely ahead of pedophiles in terms of morals. What give them the right to take what you had to work for? This writer doesn't care how badly they may need what they take. If you can work for what you have, why can't they? We all have enough trouble in this world without someone coming around and getting fat off our work.

The N-Word
Karlie Hay, the new Ms. Teen USA, recently her past social media history exposed. In that past, it was exposed that she heavily used the N-Word. She gave some lame apology, but does that really excuse what she did? In this writer's opinion, it does not. What it does do is expose that the racism that was supposed to die with this new generation is stronger than ever before.
It seems like ever since the election of President Barack Obama people shout this word from the rooftops, as if to get revenge on black people for having the nerve to vote. This writer has seen many Youtube videos where people have openly said the word. Justin Bieber (yes, the world-famous singer) and the SAE kids from Oklahoma University, among others seem to enjoy using that word. On the news the other day, a man in Wyoming, Michigan was caught saying it. What is it about that word where people just have to say it?
Part of this is the fault of the rap industry. Rappers spew that word repeatedly, accompanied by the lie that they are taking the power back. As a result, the word became okay to use no matter how it was intend. This writer does understand to an extent. Rappers were paid by record producers to keep the word alive and the money was too good to resist. Literally, without the use of the N-word, most rappers wouldn't even have a career. This writer doesn't like it, but does somewhat understand. They are getting something out of it, at least.
What this writer doesn't understand is why anyone who's done any history or has an ounce of intellect would want to use the word, especially if they aren't being paid to do so. What are they getting out of it? Satisfaction? Power? Friends?
Of course, this writer isn't a fool. The word never went anywhere. It's use is simply more public, thanks to the internet and social media. What disturbs this writer is why it's so public. The answer is simple; there's no penalty for saying it. It's the only slur you can say and not lose your job or your reputation. In fact, more often than not, people are rewarded or get sympathy from the public at large. Justin Bieber's (and rappers in general) record sales didn't drop off after he was exposed. Karlee Hay wasn't stripped of her crown. The SAE kids will go on to have good paying jobs and long careers in powerful positions. Just knowing this shows this writer how far intelligence has declined in America.
Until next time...

Men Are Worthless?
Every now and then, this writer will be having a conversation with someone. The talk will be good, informative, and rewarding. The suddenly, the other person will say, "Men are worthless", or something to that extent.
This writer, who is male, does understand to an extent. The media (yep, them again) has spoon fed America this garbage for the past 20-30 years, effectively poisoning an entire generation of people. As a result, these people don't know any better when they say things like this. They are just saying what they know. They bought it, believe it, and they're sticking with it.
Anyone who's every opened a history book will know that the greatness of men. The strength of every nation that has ever existed has been measured by the strength of its men. Heck, the very existence these nations is because men made it happen. It doesn't matter how they did it, they did it. In spite of all his research, this writer couldn't find one nation founded by a woman. (Please guide this writer to a source that shows otherwise.) The very power structures of these nations are put in place and maintained by men, even when a woman is running that nation.
No woman has ever walked on the moon. A woman didn't create the atomic bomb (like it or not, it was a game changer). Women didn't create the airplane. Women haven't create a single meaningful industry. Men did all of these things and more.
Don't mistake this for putting down women, because it isn't or at least it's not meant to be. There are great women who have done great things. The writer is simply stating that men aren't nearly as worthless as he's been told. What's fair is fair. Being told that you're worthless simply because you were born with a penis isn't fair.

Third Party, Please!
Well, the race for president is set. In one corner we have Mrs. Hillary Clinton. In the other corner we have Donald Trump. Umm...can we get another candidate or two.
Donald Trump is a devil, plain and simple. This writer can respect that he doesn't hide the fact that he's a devil. But that doesn't make him a less evil devil. It simply makes him an honest one.
Hillry Clinton, on the other hand is a devil who tries to hide the fact that she's a devil. She is a great speaker, or at least better than President Obama. She says all the right things, but one look at her history shows that she can't be trusted. As Bernie Sanders supporters say, she hasn't earned this writer's vote.
So where is the third party candidate? Well, hisstory shows that third parties don't do so well in the polls, but why is that? What is it about a third or fourth party that's so off-putting that anyone how runs under their banner is dead on arrival? People complain about what the Republicans and Democrats will do, so why do the American people give the not give the other guys a try.
This writer understands that the media (a lot to say about them in the future) doesn't cover these third parties as much coverage as they do the two main parties. Also, moderate candidates won't run for the third party because they won't have a snowball's chance of winning. But what makes third parties such a flop to the voting public.
Maybe third party candidates suck. Perhaps the party doesn't connect with voters for whatever reason. Maybe the voting public have all been duped into thinking there are only two candidates and except it as fact. Whatever the reason, the third party is view as more of a handicap to one of the two major parties instead of being its own group with its own values. Put simply, they are seen as pests.
This writer isn't trying to sway people to vote Republican, Democrat, or third party. This writer is simply asking where the other options are and what's wrong with them? This writer asking, after looking to the left and right, are these really are only options? Are Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton really the best people America could muster to lead itself? And if so, what does this say about America?

Playing the Victim...After Being the Aggressor
In the Bullies post, this writer talked about fighting a bully who became this writer's best friend. As mentioned, that incident happened right in class directly in front of the teacher. This writer remembers the bully looking at the teacher, wondering why this writer went off.
This writer also remembers what the teacher said to the bully. "That's what you get," she declared. As stated, said bully became this writer's friend, but that's beside the point. What is the point? When you do people wrong, you get what you get. When that happens, can you really expect sympathy? The answer is no.
In this writer's experience, most bullies want victims, not fights. What happens when they get the fight they weren't looking for? They suddenly play the role of victim. Unfortunately for the bully, most (intelligent) adults don't buy that crap. Everyone knows what the bully did, so nobody can really feel for sorry for it.
If the bully happens the be smaller than the person it's picking on, than it may garner some sympathy if the size differential is great enough. For the most part, though, people understand when the bully gets what it gets, regardless of size.
Being a bully is like kicking dogs. Some dogs may may take it and some dogs may whine. But eventually one of them is going to realize it has teeth and decide you need to know what they feel like. When that happens, can you really blame the dog for biting you when it was simply defending itself?

Charles Kinsey
This writer has seen it all now. Just when the public image of police across the national shouldn't be able to get lower, this happens. A man in Miami was lying on his back with his hands in the air was shot in the hand. WTF?
That man, Charles Kinsey, was fortunate to survive, but why was he shot? Unlike the Mike Brown case (where we only heard what happened) or the Eric Garner Case (Where he may have been passively resist) Charles Kinsey was on video seen complying with police. Yet they still felt he needed to be shot.
The funny thing is, the officer said the bullet was meant for a man Mr. Kinsey was taking care of. Who was this man? An autistic 26-year old armed with a toy train. Yep. A toy train caused a trained (supposedly) cop to lose his cool and shoot a man lying on his back with his hands up. (Faceplam). This writer wishes he could make something like this up.
The whole situation reeks of incompetent policing. This is what happens when you hire hair-brained morons with itchy trigger fingers. But most of all, it reeks of bull stuff. Taxpayers pay these people to serve and protect, not to shoot people who pose no threat at all. It's going to be interesting to see how the media spins this (more on them in future posts).

Bullies
What to say about bullies. They are the bane of most kids' existence. They are also bull stuff. Of course, this writer does have to tell that to anyone who's ever had one. These creatures born from iniquity exist only to spread more iniquity. They use a number of tactics to accomplish this. The effects of this mental and/or physical abuse can be damaging or even deadly to the victims.
So how does one deal with these devils? The answers to this question are often as much bull as the bullies themselves. "Tell a teacher," someone might say. "Tell your parents," another might suggest. Yet another well-meaning indivdual will tell you, "Just stay away from them." These tactics usually fail, as this writer learned as a child.
In this writer's experience a sound, old-fashioned, playground-style ass whuppin' was the best solution. That's not to say the other solutions don't work. They may actually work from time to time. This writer is only saying that this is the only option that always seemed to work. Seriously. This writer had to learn that a big, meaty fist often did what words couldn't.
Your parents may tell you to give in or learn to deal with it yourself. The teacher or principal might tell you to stop being a tattle-tell. Talking to the bully itself would only get you laughed at, which would be followed by worse treatment. Escaping does work, but eventually you'll wind up cornered. What does one do when that happens?
Understanding why the bully does what it does is the business of any adults who may care, not the victim's. As the victim, you don't what to know the bully's life story. You want him to leave you alone. A good beating sends the message, "I don't care if you're a bully, but I won't be your victim."
For those who say violence accomplishes nothing, this writer's gained his best friend by fighting a bully. It happened in the classroom, right in front of the teacher. Almost immediately after that, the bully became this writer's best friend. That fight also kept this writer from getting bullied for two years afterwards, so violence netted a double reward.
Whatever method you use, utilize it early in the game. Whether you to, run, or fight, do it as soon as you think this person will be a consistent problem. Let the bully know what he's doing is bull and that it's not going to fly with you. The goal is to stop the bullying before it gets to the point where people are winding up in the hospital or commiting suicide.
Even after all the, this writer will say that violence should be the last option. Just don't remove it as an option altogether. For this writer, the other options became viable only after the fists began to swing. Only then did the adults step in and try to mediate.
