I hate the News …

Let me start with this Blog entry is not exactly young child friendly.
I am not going to say anything crazy, but the topics are topics that most people might not want to try and explain to there children.

Now I kind of feel bad because La Wife has already heard me rant about most of this … then again La Wife needs to work on her section so I don’t feel to bad.
Yea, pointless little jab but it made me feel better … Love ya hun!
I don’t watch the news.
I can’t help but listen to it at work.
Well I guess I could but then I would be so bored it would be insane.
So let me tell you about some of the stuff I have heard about this last week alone.

1) The teenage high school student in Mississippi who wanted to bring her girlfriend to the prom.
OK, so we all know that some parts of the Bible Belt are a little off, but …
First they say that she can’t come to the prom.
Then they the courts say that they can’t stop her form going.
Next the school says that if she is allowed to go that they will not hold prom.
This causes all kinds of trouble for the girl in school with other students and also her family from the other students families.
The court intervenes and come out saying that they must still have prom.
That was the first part of all of that … nice right?
That part made me really upset and helped me to loose faith in a lot of mankind and humanity as a whole.
No one needs to be discriminated like that!
But low and behold the court system did what was right and backed up the minority in this tragedy!
I guess humanity still stands a small chance …
So, prom is on … our little lady gets to go … gets all dressed up, grabs her date and off to a wonderful night full of magical memories and good times!
Nope, some of the parents of the other students got together and paid for a separate prom for all of the outcastes and freaks.
That’s right, our little heroine who fought to have a prom for everyone didn’t get to go to it at all, but had her own with some other people that have been declared outcastes and freaks and also a few handicapped students.
OMG!
How did something like this happen in this modern day here in the USA?
Do they not realize what they did?
This is possibly the meanest, cruelest, nastiest and all around WRONG’est (<- had to keep the flow going) thing I have ever heard done to someone.
O before anyone even goes there I am talking about of the nonviolent crime types.
ACLU and so many other organizations are going to riot I am sure.
If it was me, I would be suing everyone.
I am the first person to say that this country is sue happy and how I will not do it for stupid things … unless it happens on Disney property that is!
This one though, everyone is getting named!
First in a criminal and the each person in a civil to boot!
The City, County, District, State, teachers involved, counselors, principal, superintendents, school board members, the parents who paid for it and the anyone else attached to it.
People need to learn that this is wrong!
If not, that they need to at least behave for fear of consequences! 

2) La Wife told me about this one, so even though I trust her completely I still had to look it up just to verify it to be as bad as I heard … it was!
It starts off as a sweet little thing.
A 15 year old girl was going to a party and her 7 year old sister who was a little worried about her tagged along to make sure she would be ok.
After some time there the 15 year old pimped her 7 year old sister out and the little girl was assaulted by multiple men.
As all of this was going on, the older sister sat and watched … yea, faith in humanity is dropping again!
Once done the little girl left and the older sister decided to stay behind selling herself next.
27 people, including the older sister, have been arrested as of the time of me writing this.
Um, what can be said?
SHE WAS 7 YEARS OLD!
First how can someone, let alone a group of people do that to a child?
But then also how can a person do this to another for money, let alone a family member?
The long term effects of this, the physical and mental damages done … again, OMG!
Talk about one of the situations that if I as there I would be in jail for multiple murder charges!
How is it that the father has not gone on a killing spree?
If he does, and I was the Judge I don’t think I could prosecute him.
I would pull him aside and tell him to go for a temporary insanity plea and help him get it! 

3) 2 High School seniors (boys) are out on a date with there freshmen girlfriends.
The two boys are stars of the local baseball team with a bright future and collage scholarships waiting for them.
The parents of the girls know that there daughters are dating the boys and allow them to go out on dates with them.
One night though the police pull up on a couple of trucks and low and behold the 4 are hurriedly getting dressed with signs of the four hitting a few homeruns.
The officer contacts the parents and low and behold the girls parents want to press charges against the two boys for rape.
Because they had both just turned 18.
The boys are suspended form school, kicked off the baseball team, have lost there scholarships and now might have sexual predator tags thrown on there names for the rest of there lives.
Yes, they technically have broken the law … but how many of us have done something like this?
The girls are fighting on there defense saying that it was consensual and that they did nothing wrong.
Yes, the girls don’t have a say in the matter but come on parents, you didn’t think it was a possibility?
Blame yourselves for not raising your child to know not to do this.
Stop risking ruining these guys lives because you are a bad parent! 

So, this is why I don’t watch the news.
This is also why I think there should be tests for people to see if they can and/or would be good parents.
Some people just shouldn’t be allowed to have kids … but that’s a whole another subject.
I just wanted to vent, sorry if this was a downer …

On a side note, I got this new job, well same old job but a new position.
I now only work 4 days a week with a 3 day weekends and all I do is watch 5 guys cut grass.
I know, how do I keep going from job to job where I do nothing, to jobs of doing even less?

Weird
The news is tough to take. Reality is even tougher. I'm sure that somewhere in the news was a little truth, but they could not and would not report all the things that happened in each situation. With that being said, I don't watch it either. It's depressing and it lowers my opinion of the people out there, that much more. I'm in public service and I really can't afford much more of that. The toothless chuckleheads that I deal with on a daily basis are enough. I'm waiting for one of them to be in the news. That would be the icing....

Tough
Sometimes the truth is hard to believe. I hate the news as it just makes me crazier?
