How Others See Americans

We as Americans have a very proud and high self esteem. Ask anyone in the country how the country compares to the rest of the world and undoubtedly they will say, "We're #1!" But just how does the rest of the world see us? I have actually been discussing this very question with several people from around the world and the almost unanimous answer has been, "Stupid Americans". At first I took great offense to these answers. I would defend our honor and argue the great achievements made by Americans. Then I came across this: http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/dumbest-things-ever-said-on-the-internet. Our ignorance is going to be our downfall. Our government cuts education budgets more and more and this is the end result. Come on people. Quit turning a blind eye to what is going on. Stop assuming that education is someone else's problem. Stop assuming politicians have YOUR best interest in mind. Get involved, get educated, and ensure the next generation is educated too!

Seriously, I'm Surrounded By Idiots!

I am so sick and tired of applying myself and learning the truth about things, only to be out numbered by stupid, ignorant, lazy dumbasses who see something in a meme, or a chain letter and instantly think it is there obligation to share with the world because, What harm if it is not true?" I will tell you the harm. The harm is you might as well hang a huge sign over your head that says, "Too stupid to know better, bend me over and screw me!" You are sending out the message that you are either completely ignorant to the fact that there are people who make stuff up just to scare them, or you are just too damn lazy to care. Turn off the damn TV and pick up a newspaper people! Educate yourself! Do not rely on other's to do it for you. It is now to the point I am going to start cutting people out of my life as I don't need the stress of having to think for them too. Okay, I need a cup of coffee, that is all for now. Love to (almost) all.

Smarter Then The Average Bear

Take a look around you. Have you noticed what I have? That the world seems to be getting...well,...stupid? If you have, you are not alone. Einstein warned us about the possibility, and too many did not take heed. It has become unfortunate that so many people, particularly the younger people, have made the assumption that technology is the all knowing and that it should do all the thinking for us. Wake up you fools before it is too late. Technology was never meant to do the thinking for us, it was meant to make life easier as a tool, not the brain. We have slowly become slaves to our own devices. Now I am not preaching that the machines are taking over, or that we must avoid technology. I am simply saying we should use it in the manner it was meant to be. It was meant to free us up to achieve better things, not become complacent in our positions and expect the world at our finger tips. All too often I hear, 'Don't we have a computer to do that?" as an answer to any challenges in life. There is no sense of yearning for knowledge anymore. If we find ourselves with a problem, we use "Google" for the answer. Never forget, technology is only as smart as the person putting information into it. Do you expect anyone with access to WebMD to be a Dr? Gawd, I hope not! Do you expect anyone with access to YouTube to be a Mechanic because he or she saw a video on how to repair a car? So people, Stop being lazy. Use the tools for advancing your learning, not to be the great oracle with all the answers. I will get off my soap box now, as I am done with this tool for now. Love to all.
