Bully for Your Thoughts

    
     Ok, I didn't really know how to respond to what TCY sent me.  It is a subject that has had great debate at my house.  I think in some warped fucked up way, TCY makes a valid point but then the normal rational part of my brain wakes up and realizes what TCY is saying and smacks some sense into me.

Bullies are Character Builders

Today, they are trying their best to turn this world into a hippie utopia. One of the things that they are going after now is stomping out bullies. The only place that this is practical is in the aforementioned utopia.  Bullies I'm sure everyone would agree are rotten bastards. I have another angle I want to come at you with (of course).

Bullies do serve a valuable purpose in the real world. Every man and child has been bullied, most have actually done some bullying somewhere along the line. Whether it be a little brother, cousin or kid down the road, you’re most likely guilty of this politically incorrect act. That being said, think about this, that bullying experience shapes who you are. The way a person deals with confrontation shows a lot about that person. It is a social skill. Children learn young, under uninhibited conditions their hierarchy in life, and learning this young gives the young person time to change that standing if he or she desires.  Now taking away the bully from the schoolyard ,where does a child learn this. In real life you have to admit that as adults we have to encounter confrontation. You can even under certain circumstances call it bullying at the adult level.

Let's look at some scenarios.

Your at the ball game with your son, a fly ball is hit in your direction, you reach up to catch this ball and in the back of your head your thinking how much your kid is going to look up to you for getting him a game ball. The ball hits the inside of your glove and you begin to bring the glove down, and the guy on the side of you reaches into your glove and takes your ball! What do you do? If you had encountered a bully at a younger age, your response to this will be equivalent to that. If you punked out as a kid your going to punk out as a dad, and your kid is going to suffer heartache because his dad just got punked right in front of him. Oh, you'll keep the family tradition of being a big puss going by explaining to your kid that "in this world son there are bad people, you just have to keep out of their way".

Now, same thing happens BUT when you were young you faced a bully and stood up to him, you fought him. It doesn't matter who won the fight, you stood up and fought like a little man. Now you’re a dad and the bully has taken your kids ball. You stand up to him demanding he give the ball back. If he gives it back great if not you speak softly so the kids can't hear and tell him that if he doesn't give you the ball YOU WILL BEAT HIM DOWN in front of God and everybody. You get your ball, the kid looks up to and you've shown your kid that you don't back up from evil you confront it and you over come it.

Children should not be protected from bullies, they should be taught how to stand up for themselves, how to be little men. These will be tomorrow’s leaders and if they have not learned how to stand up and defend themselves as kids they will be a lot like the leaders we presently have. Men who will not stand up for this country, instead they will as our PresBro is doing now go around and apologize for being great.

You'll never know who you really are until your tested. Isn't it better to be tested young so that if you fail you will have plenty of time to change the way you do things? Time to mold yourself into someone whom you can respect when you go to sleep at night.  Adversity makes you strong. To quote what a wise man once said " what ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Let's allow our children to grow up strong. Strong people made this a strong country. These pansy waisted puppies we have in Washington right now are showing the world that we are weak.

Fight back

TCY

    Ok, I agree with standing up to bullies.  Whether you get your ass kicked or not, it is the thing to do.  The problem nowadays is that bullies are more dangerous than when I was a kid and even when TCY was a kid.  How does a 5th grader stand up to a bully who is palming a blade and packing heat?  That 5th grader stands up for himself and then takes a bullet in the chest.  Then what? The parent of the deceased young boy goes to the parents house to confront the wonderful parents of the bully and they tell him to fuck off.  His son had to shoot their son because he was bullying him?  These days now, kids have access to way more than before.  They can log online and learn how to make a pipe bomb from unconventional things around the house in the basement or garage.  They can get information to steal identities.  Do you know that most virus's that people get are mostly from people under the age of 18!  Yep, underage cyber-bullies! Little teenagers who know how to bring chaos and destruction from the touch of a button.  Counterfeiting, identity theft, pirating and bullying.  You name it.  Being able to fuck up someone's life with just a mouse and keyboard, I can see why teenagers with raging hormones enjoy doing it.  Hey, TCY, think of a person from your past that bullied you, and made you feel like a worthless piece of shit. Now, think of how good you would feel if with the click of a button, you could wipe out his savings account, get him fired from his job and have him go up the FBI's most wanted list with the few taps on a keyboard and the click of a mouse button.  Tell me, that would not give you a rush?
     Anyway, back to the original point, standing up to a bully is a must.  But having a zero tolerance policy in school is now almost a necessity because once a kid is dead from a bully, he's dead.  There is no bringing him back to life or resetting the game. 
     But just for TCY, even though they are trying to get bullies out of school, there is still outside of school.  Kids will still hang out after school and go to friends houses and play basketball in the street in a local neighborhood.  Besides school, there is still plenty of places for bullies to do what they do.  Bullies will still show their face, and then the children can stand up and put him or her in their place.  Yes, there are girl bullies out there too.  They don't get an exception!  And they are the worst.  Not just physical bullying but they use that mind-fuck bullying!  Making a little girls head so fucked up, like cyber bullying her on facebook and in school, she hangs herself in her room!

When Good Things Go Bad

     Ah, spring is in the air.  It looks like TCY is smelling it also.  He's on a roll and I don't see anything stopping him this week except that it is Tuesday and I have heard him say already, "I am fresh out of give a shit!"

When Good Things Go Bad.

I'm sure this has happened to everyone. Have you ever looked at some women/man (for the female readers) and from the back view you have already committed your mind into instant infatuation, only to find when they turned around you had a hard time keeping your gag reflex from activating?  Or, again you see someone who just at a glance really appeals to you, so you approach said person for initial conversation only to find that their voice was enough to make you wish you were deaf?  In fact you can feel your face distorting as they talk. Well some will say I'm a little slow on the uptake.  I have been with a woman (I use the term only to be gender correct) for over 27 years and as I sat looking over my deck wondering if the jump would kill me or just hurt a hell of a lot, the thought came to me that this very thing had happened somewhere along the line. She still looks good especially from behind, the problem is she always wants to face me and talk. When I say talk I mean SCREAM at the top of her lungs. Good Things Gone Bad.

     What's better than a cold beer at the end of a hard day of work? If every swallow tasted as good as the first one I think I would be a drunk. Which by the way is the second good thing gone bad.  Have you ever had dealings with a drunk, not a fun experience. Ok let me define this a little better. A friend getting drunk on a Friday night and you have to take care of them is not fun. Living with one will make you want to take a job as a traveling salesman. Living with 2 drunks will have you looking over your deck wondering if it's high enough to do the job. My brother in-law is an all day, everyday drunk that never believes he's drunk; he also so far is living with me.  His drink of choice is Natural Ice beer. Yes he is definitely a man of taste and means. This weekend I was working on my car and this human brewery walked up beside me and at that very time a gentle breeze blew across the front of that car and my nostrils were filled with the smell of a cheap beer and 2-day-old sweat. If you’re now wondering to yourself who's the 2nd drunk, let me refer you back to the last sentence of the 1st paragraph. Why do you think she's screaming?  RIGHT...Drunks are a lot like bill collectors; once they hook up with you they are very hard to get rid of. Change your phone number and address and eventually they'll find you. I told my brother in-law to get out once knowing that no one would take him in, I offered to take him to a local bridge to live under. After all this is where people like him live right?  Well after a day and a half the cops brought him back to my house asking me if, and I quote “did you leave this under the bridge”. I guess I'm lucky I didn't get a ticket for illegally dumping. Good Things Gone Bad. 

I'm really not sure where I'm going with all this except to say to each of you, good things do go bad. It's not something that can be avoided in most cases, it’s just something that has to be dealt with. In the case of the drunkard brother in-law, my plan is whenever his being drunk bothers me I will get drunker than him. Now that's a personal challenge, if you all knew the height I just set the bar at you would be very impressed with my lofty goal. Hell if I can indeed get drunker than him I might not need the deck to finish things off.

Now the Old Lady presents a different problem.  My plan to deal with that "good things gone bad" issue is...I'm gonna start looking for a new good thing.

Damn it man!  Life’s short, Have Fun When You Can For As Long As You Can. You just have to remember the trucker’s 50 mile rule. Never have "Fun" within 50 miles of where you live.

Fight back

I think this is TCY's Brother-In-Law - Natural Ice-Man.

    Ya know what.  I started thinking about it and when something is too good and you don't realize it; as soon as  you start to realize that it is actually too good, BAM...Good Things Go Bad.  Here is my example and I regret it ever since it first popped into my peabrain head.  A few years ago, I was working, let's say where I am not today.  I had my own office, my own personal fridge where I didn't have to worry about driver's, err I mean other people stealing my food, I could play the music as loud as I wanted and whatever I wanted and I only worked 8 hours a day with a lunch!  I was wanting more and something different.  Well, as soon as I realized that I had it made, BAM!!!!  Good Things Gone Bad.  I now work in a bigger, dirtier, cluttery'er, hot air from the A/C vent, no window to let the sun shine in, brick shit house of an office.  Where during the span of a 24 hr period, at least 30 to 40 different people come and go at least once, some even linger...you know who you are!  There is a universal fridge where the motto is like a roach motel, Once it goes in, you'll never know who will be takin it out.  Music, forget about it!  Either talk radio for some people <cough> <cough>, or classic rock because it's the only damn station that comes in.   And I don't mean the good classic rock, I mean where in an 8 hour period you here STYX's "LADY" 15 friggin times. And an 8 hour work day, HA!!!  I have taken half days that lasted more than 8 hours.  And don't get me started about taking a lunch break because if you do, you had better have your phone with you to answer, with a mouth full of food, "Hello this is Iceman Ogre, how can I help you?"  because it will ring at least twice.
     You dream the grass is greener on the other side but I say nah nah.  That is just the neighbor spraying it with green paint to get you to come over. Once you are there and it rains, you find out the grass is actually crabgrass and it is brittle and brown!   The purpose of my rant is this: enjoy what you have, while you have it before the neighbor tricks you onto his side of the property line, then you are in a cage in his basement and you are being referred to as "The Gimp" by your neighbor and his male friend "friend". 

Support Our Country - Buy Products Made in China

    

    I have to just start this post out with I STILL hate politicians.  Just because they cut a little, doesn't mean it is good enough. I personally think they make too much money and only care about one thing, themselves! 

Ok it's April 11th and we have just now finished the budget for 2011. The good news is we have cut 38 million dollars out of the budget. I believe that equates to 12 hrs worth of spending. Whoop De Fuckin Doo! The Bastards acted like it was like pulling teeth. Well it must have been because it was the largest ever spending cut in our history. Let's understand this. 38 billion dollars compared to a 3 trillion dollar budget would be like; let's say you make 500.00 a week. A 10 % cut would be 50$ a 5% cut would be 25.00 a 2% cut would be 10.00. That is what the 38 million dollars equates, you giving up $10.00 a week. How hard would that be? These Washington politicians must think we are damn fools, and we are if we let them stay in office. The Tea Partiers did great. They were the ones that were able to even get the spending cut talk even considered. Obama himself said, " I would not be making these cuts under better circumstances". Believe me, he wasn't talking about the economy. He was talking about the fact that his party no longer controlled the purse strings. If we're smart, we will never give the purse back to the Democrats. We saw how much they were willing to spend with no one to stop them.

Next on the table is the budget for 2012 and the new debt ceiling. I heard one plan that the republicans are putting forward to cut 6 trillion dollars over I forget how many years. Well it's about time! This is the only way to get things right is to back huge cuts voluntarily or be forced into bankruptcy. It can and will happen if thing don't change and it will be like flipping a light switch. One morning you'll wake up and the big story on the news will be America Broke!!!

            China yesterday decided that it would cash in all of the bonds and notes that they were holding on the US. The U.S said today that they would have no choice but to default on the notes as the Treasury did not have enough money to cover the buy back request.

China and America will meet today come up with an exchange agreement that both parties could agree on. One proposal is to give China Hawaii and Alaska as partial payment for the huge debt owed to the communist country. China has shown interest in Alaska because of its huge oil reserves that the U.S has not tapped into since it was set aside in1977.

Of course this would only be partial payment. China is also looking for property on the U.S mainland. There has been talk that to make China whole they want the entire west coast, California, Oregon and Washington. The first order of business for China would be to develop a navel base in San Diego. 

     Sounds far fetched don't it. Let me remind you that we have given not sold, the Panama Canal to China already. Why do you think that was? Just because we liked them so much? Bill Clinton gave the Chinese the launching capability for their long-range missiles. Before this Yes China had Nukes, however they could not hit the U.S. they did not have the technology until Clinton gave it to them. WHY? It was once said by a Soviet Union official,  "The U.S will be taken without a shot."  I for one believe that if we do not make the tough cuts now this could very possibly be true.

I will try to be more cheerful the rest of the week and get back to more comedy. But as Mondays usually go this one sucks too.

Thanks for all your feedback you all have made good points, keep them coming it may lead to the posting.

Fight back

TCY

I have to say, I was quite out it when I first read this, that I actually believed what I just read!  I thought, Great, China owns the west coast, oh well.  All I have to say is Damn It Man!!

War, Good God Y'all

It's been a little bit since I have posted something.  I apoligize for that.  Things get in the way sometimes; life, work, family, fun, work.  But I think everything is finally back to normal, well as normal as things can be around here.

I knew I have heard the saying from the previous post before.  I think TCY and Denis Leary nailed it on the head.   SHUT THE FUCK UP, NEXT!



WAR... It's not what it used to be.

Today we find ourselves involved in 3 different campaigns at a cost that is out of this world. One report said that every tomahawk missile we launch into Libya cost the US 1 million dollars. (My numbers may be off a bit) the fact is WAR cost money.

Tell me when did that happen? Think about it, in the past war is what made countries/kingdoms rich. To the victors go the spoils of war. When did we stop taking the spoils? Please don't give me that bullshit that it isn't right. We freed the people of Iraq, which gave them their country back with all the oil riches that come with it. It cost this country lives, money and equipment. We deserve to be repaid the cost of freeing those people. Same for Afghanistan and Libya. If the United Nations wants America to be the police of the world that would be fine, pay us!  We can no longer be the answer to all the worlds’ problems without compensation for it. I want the spoils of war!!!  If another country makes us go to war with them, they should know they have something to loose i.e. in this case OIL. If you make us fight and we win, your oil field is  ours.

This would change the way people think and it would get us out of our financial problems. America would be great again and other countries would be more willing to negotiate with us knowing that if defeated they would loose their riches. This is an old school way to do things. England, France and Spain were built on this concept, not to mention the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire, we really need to study this. We resemble this mighty empire. At this time in history it really looks as though we will go down the same way the Romans did. Remember they were never defeated, they just ceased to be. The biggest reason for the fall of Rome was that they allowed different cultures to exist within their nation. As a result, the culture of Rome was lost and that was their source of greatness.

America has a culture, a culture of greatness, a culture of self-sufficiency, a culture of toughness and a DON'T FUCK WITH US ATTITUDE!  However today that culture hangs on by a thread.

Would our fore fathers allow a foreign army to invade America (Mexico)? Would our fore fathers ever take money from a workingman to give to a man who would not work? Would they accept women having children with no husband and no way to feed those children or themselves? In fact it is the government giving money to these women that are causing the problem to grow.

If there were no checks coming in for unwed mothers, would a woman so easily spread her legs to a man that they knew would not stick around. One thing at a time. First let's take the spoils of War. Tell all those who don't like it to fight for themselves than. America's wealth should no longer be spent to free people who hate us. Here's a little secret, people who hate us will always hate us. Nothing that we do can change that, so if they are going to hate us, let's give them a good reason. The government has a Steal From One and Give to Another attitude.  It should be no problem to take from an enemy and give to your own people. Make no mistakes, if this country doesn't get back to the way of our forefathers than America is surely in its last days. Today we have a president who has spent more money in 2 years than all of the presidents from Washington to Bush put together, yet he will not consent to a measly 61 billion dollar spending cut. He has said yesterday that this cannot be an It's My Way or the Highway budget plan. To take a phrase from Obama himself, Oh Yes We CAN!  We can say it our way, it’s our money and it's our republic.

One more thing, it's our white house and in 2 years we will put into it a man who can understand that.

Fight back America

TCY

     Well, I do love it when TCY crawls out of his cave and has something to say. I do have to agree partly with him about the spoils of War.  I do think if we help a country, we sacrifice our men, our weapons, our time and our knowledge on how to kick a little ass, then we need to get something in return.  Nothing in this world is free, especially the risk of a life!  If other countries want our help, it is gonna cost them.  Yeah, yeah I know, we need to help those in need.  Helping out countries during a natural disaster, I get it.  Helping another country because they are at war with another country, I don't get it.  If it costs us billions with a B, and lives of our brave soldiers, and metal for our machines and weapons, to go and help another country kick someone's ass, then why do we not get a tip?
     In all honestly, I have a question for anyone out there who reads this particular post.  You don't have to state who you are, just leave a comment.  If tomorrow, the U.S. was attacked by a foreign enemy, what other countries would be on our side to help dish out a little revenge ass whoopin?  What country would send us the millions and millions of supplies, support or money to help rebuild what just got destroyed?  France, Canada, Mexico? Seriously, who?  Like TCY stated above, people hate the U.S. and once a hater, always a hater.  I feel as if there are more countries out there who hate us than like us. But guess what, go back and read the post titled, "WHO WANTS AN INVASION".   Let some other country come onto our shores and try to take us over.Go and reread this:  WHO WANTS AN INVASION???

This is exactly what is in a CAN-O-WHOOPASS!!!
