Just a quick rant about stuff i was thinking about on the drive home so some of it might not make sense to you. Feel free to chime in.
I dont understand people, mostly people born in the past 30 years, people who I believe are brainwashed by mtv and media, watching jersery shore, so into the whole vampire/werewolf craze and whatever the lastest fad is out there. Also why do the celebrities get paid so much? Why do people look up to them so much? I remember a friend once said while she was mesmerized, Chris Brown dances so well while watching a clip of him on a commercial, really who the fudge cares that he dances so well, watching him dance so well wont do anything to benefit you... What do they actually do? They don't fix grow crops, they don't build houses, they don't invent anything useful. I think these people who are entertainers and those who wants to make it into show business are useless to society and are looking for the easy way out, they dont want to make an honest days wage. I will take a leap and say that I am sure most of the celebrities don't have an actually education that matters (arts degrees dont count!) or any experience actually doing something that benefits society. I'll admit I like to watch movies from time to time but I dont think that we should be paying them anymore than an engineer who builds bridges that everyone can benefit from. Or a doctor who saves lives. Or the farmer who grows the crops and tends to the animals we eat every day. We should be paying them according to the amount of work they actually do. I think if we continue to pay them more and more each time, not only will this world become dumber and dumber, there will be no farmers, doctors, engineers left cause all the kids will grow up wanting to become a celebrity.
On another note, I told some friends that i bought my first rifle. They all asked the same question, why do i need it? I told them for protection. They all responded that if I needed protection, to call the cops............ thats what they would do if they were in that situation. Now i know some people are that are cops and I have a true respect for anyone in the law enforcement field, but we all know, when something is up, there is no LEOs around. My way of thinking is, if everyone had a right to own a gun, why not? Lets take a situation of a stalker following a female down a dark street. A gun would make anyone feel empowered. But what if that gun was in the hands of the stalker? then he would feel empowered and he would be in a position of power. But what if he knew that she and everyone else also had a gun? then he would not feel so powerful and would think twice about doing any harm to anybody.
This is just my midnight rant after a long day. Just some stuff I was thinking of when driving home. Some of it might not make sense to you but it does to me. Feel free to chime in about what you feel.
**btw I was born in the last 30 years so I am not a cranky elderly man hating how today's generation functions. I am a young adult who sees the unjust world differently.
