Things That Just Piss Me Off

The Kinder Gentler Society

posted in: Main — namecritic @ 5:55 pm

This post is pretty much for anyone in their 20s or younger but may also apply to you if you are over 30 depending on how you were raised. Our society has gotten so weak. We are becoming pathetic.

Here are a list of things I point to that proves that we are becoming a bunch of pathetic losers instead of the strong nation of people we once were.

1. Political Correctness - Everyone has to watch what they say because they are worried they might offend someone. OMG. Someone could be offended? How will they ever survive that. They will likely need counseling for life is they are offended by what someone said. OMG. We used to be able to handle being offended and we could get over it. How did we ever do that?

political correctness

2. Winning and Losing - Today there are schools that have sports and other activities where there are no winners or loser. “We are all winners, no reason to keep score.” Because if there are winners, there must be losers and we can’t have anyone thinking they are a loser. OMG. If a child loses at something they will need counseling for life! It used to be we had competition and you lost or you won. It taught you to try to succeed. It taught you to be a winner. It taught you to be competitive, which now they call a bad thing. Our greatest leaders were people who learned to be winners, now we teach our children that there are no winners or losers. This way everyone is equal so no need to strive to be better. No reason to improve yourself because everyone else is just the same as me. Awww, can we just all sing Kum Ba Yah now?

political correctness

3. Playing with toys - Now parents don’t want their children to play with certain toys. If boys play with toy guns they are bound to turn out to be violent. If girls play with dolls it stereotypes them that women should only be moms and not be independent or equal to men. Parents are being told by psychologists that they can shape their children’s lives by the toys they buy them or by teaching them that there are no winners or losers. But it doesn’t work. We just end up with a whiny crybaby society and just because you buy your girls a doll will not make her believe that she can only be a mom. And when did only being a mom become a bad thing? I think we need a few more “just moms” out there. Our kids need them. If you buy your boys a toy gun, it does not mean they will grow up to be a criminal. Get over it.

4. Work Ethic - Nowadays bosses have to be extremely careful not to yell at anyone or stress anyone out or they might be sued. Bosses who yell are said to create a “hostile working environment”. OMG! We can’t have bosses yelling at people and telling them to get any actual work done! They will need counseling after that! It may scar them for life! Bosses used to get mad and yell at people. If you didn’t like it, get another job. The boss is the boss. Not anymore. The lawyers have become the boss. You can’t say this, you can’t say that. You need to have this policy in place and you can’t make them do any extra work that someone in the next office who is a different gender or race didn’t also have to do or you are sexist or racist and you might be sued!

As a result we are less productive as a society, as a country. We have a workforce of a bunch of whiny crybabies who played sports where there were no winners or losers and where no one says anything that might offend anyone. How nice. How utopian we are becoming.

Meanwhile in places like China, people work hard, they get yelled at by bosses, they have winners and losers, and they are beating the pants off of us economically. But it’s ok. We are all equal. It doesn’t matter anymore that other countries are beating us in education, economics, and other areas because there are no winners and losers and it would be too stressful to compete with these other countries. We would all need counseling.

hostile work environment

Please don’t be offended or stressed out by this post. See no words with all caps?. That proves I wasn’t yelling at you while I wrote it. There are no winners and losers on my blog. The lawyers are reading my post now to make sure I didn’t offend anyone that might sue me so there may be revisions made later and it will end up being a kindler, gentler blog post. The kind those of you who are to blame for the whiny crybaby society, those who sue people for stressing them out, those who think having winners and losers harms children, and those of you who believe political correctness is important, can deal with.

Ahhh, screw the lawyers.

I hope you are offended by something in this post.

There are winners and there are losers and only losers want it any other way.

Men are men and women are women. We are not the same no matter how much cross-dressing there is and how many NOW members there are.

Involving our children in non-competitive sports or that there are no winners and losers is creating a loser society.

Teaching people not to ever offend anyone makes them weak and makes those who might be offended even weaker. If you get offended, suck it up. Get over it. You don’t need counseling.

If your boss yells at you or makes you work harder than the next guy, suck it up or get another job.

Go to work on time. Do a good job. Beat the other people who work there and help the company you work for beat their competition.

That is how our society got strong. All of this whiny crybaby crap pisses me off.

Adding Positive Credit to Your Credit Report

posted in: Consumer Protection — namecritic @ 7:14 pm

Ok, now this is just wrong and it pisses me off. All of the credit bureaus will accept any negative reports on your credit. Even if it is just one report. Yet, they will not accept positive reports to your credit unless the reporting agency or company submits the reports in large batches.

Experian only accepts batches of over 500 reports, while Equifax (ticker: EFX) and TransUnion accept batches of over 100.

“It will take us several years to reach that number of borrowers, and it seems unfair to those who have repaid fully and on time not to report, so we are baffled,” said Ms. Jacobs.

Yanki Tshering, the director of the Business Center for New Americans, echoes Ms. Jacobs’s sentiments. The Business Center for New Americans is a department of the New York Association for New Americans (NYANA) and provides financial education and assistance to refugees and émigrés.

“A few years ago, we worked with Equifax,” Ms. Tshering told SocialFunds.com. “‘If you don’t have 100 accounts, you cannot report electronically,’ they said. ‘You have to do it manually.’”

“When we submitted data on our borrowers manually, we noticed that the credit bureau accepted the negative data. But since we didn’t have 100 accounts to report on, they returned the rest of the forms with a small note saying, ‘We only accept negative data,’” said Ms. Tshering.

So, let’s say you have always paid your rent on time. Your landlord cannot add a postive credit report to your account. But if you fail to pay your rent on time, your landlord can report that.

It’s the same with smaller lending companies. They have to wait a long time to have more than 100 reports to submit. In the meantime, all those who paid their loans on time do not get the positive addition to their credit score.

Totally unfair system.

Big Brother Joke

posted in: Main — namecritic @ 4:20 pm

A guy named Bob is travelling by Amtrak with two strangers sitting close to him.

He is trying to sleep, but those guys were speaking loudly for a very long time heavily criticizing George Bush, the war in Iraq, corruption, unemployment, etc.

So Bob, in an attempt to force the guys to stop talking and let him sleep, tells them as a joke, that there is a new total control system developed by the FBI that spies upon all citizens, and there are lots of listening devices everywhere, so that anyone criticizing the government would be severely punished.

This didn’t have any effect on those guys, moreover they just laughed at Bob, and carried on and on, saying even more rude jokes about George Bush and the government.

Finally, close to 3:00 am, Bob goes to the restroom, and runs into the train conductor.

Bob asks the conductor to bring him some water and sleeping pills at exactly 3:00 a.m.

He goes back to his place and says loudly into the base of his seat, so that talkative guys could hear him:

“If the FBI director can hear me: could you please bring me a glass of water and some sleeping pills at 3:00 a.m., because there are some idiots here who are speaking too loudly about some political issues and won’t let me sleep.”

The guys continue talking.

Exactly at 3:00 am, the door opens and the conductor comes out, and gives Bob the water and some sleeping pills.

The guys are shocked and finally stop talking. Bob is happy and manages to fall asleep.

When he wakes in the morning, the talkative guys are nowhere to be found.

Out of curiosity he asks the conductor about them, (also remembering that there shouldn’t have been any stops at night).

The conductor replies that some people in black suits stopped the train and arrested those guys.

Bob is completely shocked and surprised and asks about why he was not arrested.

The conductor answers that he doesn’t have a clue but one of the guys in black suits said that the director of the FBI liked Bob’s joke about the water and pills.

Samsung Cellphones Suck

posted in: Consumer Protection — namecritic @ 5:09 pm

Never buy a samsung cell phone. They totally suck. You have to go through 3 buttons to do any task that usually only takes one button on any other cell phone. I paid over $200 for a samsung cellphone and i’m still throwing it in the trash so I can buy a phone that makes things easy to use. It seems that whoever designs the samsung cellphones also worked for microsoft at some point because of all the extra steps you have to go through to do simple tasks.

Samsung cellphones suck.
