So yesterday I was uploading a bunch of photos to the picture section when I had an epiphany, if you will … who would have ever thought that I would type that out?
I had some questionable pictures on there.
Nothing crazy, but the wording could be taken the wrong way … OK, the wording was meant to be taken the wrong way …
I’m bothered though.
I didn’t understand because I am not afraid to say and do things in front of my parents anymore … ok more like ever.
So what in the world was it that was bugging me?
Have I not always been known for speaking my mind?
Saying what needed to be said, if for no other reason then to make the one other person smirk at said comment?
Then it accord to me.
Let me just say that I am not so happy that id did either!
It wasn’t that I was finally an adult?
We all know I haven’t grown up yet, right?
I don’t want to hear about having the same job now for 10 years!!!
It wasn’t that I was afraid of what others would say.
You know, like when our mothers used to be all up in your face with how it made them look bad when we act out.
It isn’t my religious beliefs either.
God made me, and gave me this warped since of humor …
That means that if it isn’t funny, it’s all his fault?
It’s not because some of my coworkers might find the page, or even some of my friends.
It was a fear of shame from a totally different aspect that is now bothering me, and making me remember a few other things that are important.
It was, dum dum dum … a fear that my nieces could come a pone my website.
How can that be some of you might ask?
I mean, my sister should totally have child protection blocks up and running just so such a terrible thing would never happen, right?
OK, so lets pretend that my sister is smooth like that and does have said blockers.
What about that friend, or co-worker who doesn’t, but does have a small child who happens across my ‘works’?
I will not say that my site is child friendly, wow, some of the stuff I talk about has offended some adults, infuriates some others, while still making some others tear up.
I fill people with woe, in so MANY strange and disappointing ways!
Like Joey used too … La Wife will get that one ... I hope …
I can’t believe it, I am slowly turning into one of those guys.
The ones who cares about the little eyes and ears.
The worst part is, I am not so sure I like it!
I know it is the right thing to do.
I even know why it needs to be done.
It used to be good enough that I didn’t curse in my Blog’s, I doubt any of you even noticed, but I didn’t … well the 7 deadly ones anyway.
But now, I have somehow taken it up a level and am thinking about innuendo?
I am blaming La Wife for this too I might add!
The other day, La Wife stopped me when I was cursing at a children’s park … I know, we don’t have kids … why where we there … isn’t that creepy…
I didn’t mean to, it just kind of … happened?
I know it’s wrong, I have no excuse as to why I did it either.
I guess it’s because I hear it all day at work?
I have become disassociated with the effects of it?
Have I, like so many others before me and after me, been disconnected from why we aren’t supposed to use these words?
Especially around children?
What’s that old rule?
If you wouldn’t say it in church you shouldn’t say it anywhere?
How in the world have we, as a people, come to such a sad place as this?
How have we broken away from the rules of proper etiquette so much so, as to say that we are willing to damage the future generations because of our own lackluster choice of actions and words?
A very funny comedian named Jerry Clower said it best I think when he said, "Profanity is a public announcement of stupidity."
Isn’t that the absolute truth?
Using curse words has somehow become the go to generic nouns of choice.
We all know the F word.
It is after all the universal go to noun.
It is kind of like what Smurf was to the Smurfs.
How in the world did we let it become such a common word though?
It honest to God seems to me that people are happy, if not proud, of being uneducated?
Let’s look at our younger generations shall we?
Kids today injoy (HAHA) not having a better vocabulary and grammar.
They have abbreviated whole words into nothing more then grunts in some cases.
My Mother-In-Law is a teacher, who mentioned to me one time that kids turn in papers and reports with the abbreviations they use in text messaging.
Is this really the next generation we all long for?
The generation destined to bring peace and hope?
If they can’t even speak properly, how will they ever know what fork to use during a diplomatic dinner?
I honestly feel I know where some of the blame should go.
The Government, the help groups, the churches and the charities.
Yep, that is who I am blaming!
Why you might ask?
Because they are all enablers!
People used to work for everything they wanted and needed.
Now, they just expect it to be given to them.
We have women who instead of getting a job, have a child so they can stay in the system.
Well my little mother, no, mother is a bad word to use here, that would mean they cared for the child’s well being and future … we will call them all … egg donors or incubators?
I like incubators, for now, so we have this incubator who every day hates there life and says how it isn’t fare that the girl she went to middle school with is doing so well, and how it should be her who has all the nice stuff.
Even though the other girl worked her way through middle school, high school and collage so she could get a good job, and then earned the life she now lives.
Nope that’s not how it works in our incubators head now is it?
Once a week though our little incubator goes and gets a check from the mail box and then takes her food stamps to go buy food, or trades the food stamps for drugs.
Yes, some dealers do take food stamp cards!
Then once every month or two she puts in an application for a job she knows she is not qualified for before heading to the unemployment line to reregister for that weekly check.
Then she gets sick, or one of her little ones does, and she goes down and gets the free health care and medications she/they need.
The whole time this is going on though, our little incubator is thinking how unfair it is that her old classmate is doing so much better then her, and wishing her ill.
She doesn’t realize though, that her old classmate, and other people like her, are the reason she can live this wonderful life style she knows and loves so much, as a leech!
Hum, what does our little incubator really have to complain about?
Wow, our little incubator sure has it good and doesn’t have anything to worry about now does she …
O’ wait, I thought of something!
What is she going to do when her ovaries stop producing?
That’s right people!
We will pay our little incubators way then too … we just haven’t figured it out yet?
Back to the point, we will say this person dropped out in 6th grade.
Her child is now raised by a person with a way below average education … wait, nope that is the average now isn’t it …
So, this means that less is expected of the next generation when they are going to school and low and behold this happens again.
The child makes it to middle school and meets Mister Right … we now have a 3rd generation in what, 30 years?
I’ll give you a few hundred years ago that was the norm … now though, it should be looked down a pone!
Let’s say this child wants to break the cycle and get away from this life.
Hum, how?
They can’t even get help with there homework because mommy isn’t smart enough, and guess what, neither is Grandma!
So the cycle continues …
Then, one day as you are talking by, you find yourself listening to them, and as you are walking past they say it isn’t fare how society treats them … and you ask yourself.
How?
Why?
What the Smurf!
We are paying you to live and do nothing!
We let you not only be a burden to our society, but also to breed more burdens into our children’s society too!
I can’t adopt a child, but you can pop out 6 children as so that you don’t have to get a job to support yourself?
I will be one of the first people to say that some time people with children need help, for that matter some times people without children need help!
Good single parent though especially need help … and a round of applause!
But, there is also a big difference between help, and then all out taking advantage of the system!
So what we have now is a group of uneducated people, raising more uneducated people, right?
What does that leave us with?
That’s right, a society of people who don’t know it isn’t OK to say and do certain things in front of a child.
A society of people who don’t understand what self pride and motivation is.
A society of people who think it is OK to leech off, or even rob, the people who go to work every day because, well, they most have gotten a lucky break to have the opportunity to go to work for a living?
Yea, so I am taking it all back to bad and unprepared parents I guess.
I will still blame the government, but that’s just my thing I guess …
The children of the world aren’t getting the educations in school they need.
Or the proper upbringing from there homes.
I am not pointing out the single mother who is working 3 jobs, but still makes time for her child when she gets home.
Giving enough time to make sure the children did their homework, ate a good meal and makes sure there children know the difference between right and wrong.
I am talking about the mother of 4 who sits in a couch watching TV all day as her eldest child takes care of its siblings.
Stand up and take responsibility for yourself, your children and all of your lives!
If you want to live better, be better!
If you want to have nice things, work toward and buy nice things.
If you want to watch your children succeed, succeed yourself.
Take that first step, and learn proper English!
Don’t sound like a uneducated fool when trying to get a job!
Learn how to take care of yourself!
Figure out what was detrimental to your life, and keep your children away from the same things.
Open your darn eyes, and just care!
One of the goals of everyone, should be to make the world better for the next generation.
So, don’t let your child slack off and become a failure from following your lead.
Step up to the plate and make them be better.
Don’t forget though, you need to step up and make yourself better too!
Yea, I know, who am I to talk?
I don’t have kids, I only have a dog … who doesn’t listen …
So, back to what ever point I started out attempting to make, even though I myself am a 9th grade drop out, and even though I live in a trailer park, even though my Website and Blog’s are at times a little risqué, vulgar and in general all around bad …
I would like to think, that it is still far enough over the line that if a child were to look at it, it might not be the worst thing they can do.
This leaves me with only question left in this topic; do the French actually have a maid service or just the cute costumes?
Because we have proven that all though our intentions are good, we can’t clean this up.
We sure could use someone else’s help in cleaning out this toilet bowl we now live in!
PS: Don’t let your children read this insanity and stupidity … it might not be bad but it might melt their brains!
PSS: Thanks LA Wife for helping me to remember the simple things sometimes!
PSSS?: Thanks again everyone and everything … if you have to ask, I’m sorry for you!
