Directions...To The Future.

First of all, I think global warming is increasing at an alarming rate. Second, The landfills are increasing in size and numbers, and have no signs of slowing down. Also, the people of this earth are destroying the natural habitat for all of the animals. The ratio of trees being cut down verses trees being re-planted is also horrifying. So, basically, people as a whole are not taking good care of the planet. There are some things that could be changed, however. For example, if more people were educated about how to take care of their little portion of the globe, it would start to build up in a positive way. Everyone likes to think of the future as a bright place full of wonder and flying cars. This may be the case, according to scientists, because of the rate of growing technology.

what is a PloNKer?

Ok patrick you want to know what a plonker is? well i really dont know but i do have my own definition of it but first lets hear about the history of the word PloNKer (yeah thats actually how you spell it i think)

Ok so one day i was playing dead space and it was freaking me out because i didn't know what to do so i went on youtube to look for a walkthrough and i came across this one video called "paul's gaming dead space part 1" this video didn't actually have the word plonker in it but this paul guy (who i might add is a fat british guy thats kinda funny) had many many walkthroughs of video games and one of them was a game he made himself. it was really random and there was this one level called PloNKer land or something. they where these weird tweeky people that kept freaking out and you had to catch them but they were very bad at hiding so it was really easy. and after a while i knoticed that he used the word plonker alot in his other videos and i really took to the word. so based on the context that it was used in, i came up with a definition for this word.

PloNKer: the act of being stupid, naive, ditzy, irritating, annoying, forgetful, or being a complete tool

Thanksgiving :)

Well, my Thanksgiving wasnt anything special this year. All that happened was my Grandparents came over for dinner, because all the rest of my family is in California, and my parents didn't want to go. So, I spend all of Weds. and Thurs. cooking with my Mom. I did have alot of fun though, because my family is busy most of the time, and so it was a nice way to get us all together. :)

Make a hole, with a gun, perpendicular.

Alright so I thought I'd say something about those craaaaaaaaaaazy agree/disagree questions.

First off, on the censorship thing, like, I think I'm pretty much OKAY with censorship on curse words and such. Because all in all, if you need to hear someone drop an F bomb to enjoy your music, you're probably looking for something that isn't on el radio. I mean, a majority of the things I listen to have someone saying something naughty and hateful but I listen to it in my own time, I'm not broadcasting it to the world. If you're going to be throwing things around in the media, at least refrain from doing something that'd offend your audience, if not for their unexpected listening of your rants, at least to appeal to a larger crowd. I dunno, but I do know that complaining about something being censored because they're saying things that a fair majority of our fine and wonderful country might be offended to, as opposed to settling on a medium that both the rebellious, SAY IT ALLs, and the "keep it away from my children!"s is a bit silly.

And that's all I have to say on that

I was looking at the sheet though and I saw another one that was pretty interesting to me, about how if everyone should follow the law, even if they're bad laws.

I think if there's a law in place, it's probably there for a reason. I mean, we don't murder eachother because that'd cause people to be sad, and it's morally incorrect to pull the plug on another's life when they didn't ask you to. For me it is, at least. I'm not sure about the rest of you. But if there's a law like,

don't play your music above the volume of ten! Anyone resisting this law will face 90 years in prison!

Then by all means, get the hell out of wherever you are at the time, go to another country. And if this is being applied in every darn tootin' child bootin' country, then stand up. Let them know you want your music louder. But seriously, I think people should follow the big things you know, no theft, quit shanking uncle larry, ect. but the little things shouldn't be an issue as long as it's not effecting anyone else.

I'm done now

P.S.

Someone should find the hypocracy in this post.

society gone wrong?

i think our society, technologically, has vastly improved! just take the time to think about what you had just 10 years ago. no dvd, no digital camera, no flat screen tv, no wii or xbox 360 or playstation 3... no playstation 2 for that matter. that was only 10 years ago! i remember when spyro was top of the line graphics! (what was i thinking?)

but as for politically or our whole as a society, we are still stuck on the same level. we might have gone up a level or two but every level gets harder than the last and we are runing out of levels to conquer! im just saying!

so i really dont have an answer for this one. its kind of a yes/no question anyway and i dont want to go either way.

Well I see it as each area is different. Technologically I say we are going good getting better healthcare(that no one can afford) better entertainment and just random things that make life easier, but I do see us getting too lazy because of it. Politically I'd say we started off with a good idea but now we are at a point where nothing can get done because everything has to be exact please everyone and just the terminology they use is so confusing that no one understands it so we don't even know what politicians are talking about (ballot # 324 do we not as a not country not want to not kill babies in a government based fashion "uh.... yes", later on the news, now 98% of Americans chose that we should kill babies what's wrong with you people). Now socially I think we are doing the worst we have teenagers who only care about looking cool marriages that don't last and severe bullying scornement to those who are not cool or social.

Directions? Do I need Map?

The second I read this post i was so ready to type about it. I think we are, and have been headed in the wrong directions for along time. I was definitely born in the wrong era, because I don't agree with a lot of things that are going on. For one I hate technology so much, unless it is useful, like medical advances or something that is helpful to people. What I don't believe in is creating new video game systems, and all the different games to them when people could be using that time and money to be finding a cure for deadly diseases. I think that technology is ruining kids and their future, because instead of being outside running around we are sitting around playing games and watching tv. I think that ruins social skills, and imagination, people might not think imagination is a huge deal but I do, because I probably have the imagination of a five year old, where the sky is the limit and you can do what ever you want. I think that kids don't just get to be kids anymore, that we are having to grow up and be exposed to things younger and younger as the years go on. I also believe that stuff like teen pregnancy gets glorified to much and so people think it isn't that big of a deal to have a baby or if they don't want to get pregnant they can walk down the street and get the pill at a public health center, and if they want to they can just go get an abortion.
I think we have enough problems in our own country that we don't need to be fighting other countries to save oil. I use this phrase about the united states, we are the janitor's to wars that will only benefit us. I say if you're going to help, help everyone or stay out of it. So we are wasting money on guns and war fair, and that leaves people out of work, people struggling to get by. And we pay people in countries to do all of our work is also pointless, because that's how we are in the problem we are in now. As you can tell I don't have much positive to say about our country and that is because I think that our government makes stupid decisions, it's ran by rich millionaires, who don't what it is like to have to work and wake not knowing if your going to have a job the next day. they think they know what is best for the people, and they are just doing what they can so they don't have to pay taxes on stuff and lose their summer homes.
We have schools that are overfilled and crappy, and they have to cut classes and do everything to save money when these people making the decisions for us own super nice cars, and multiple houses.
To me when you look at it all it doesn't make sense, everything we do doesn't make sense, if the government would just take a moment to listen to people and actually have an open ear, mind, and an actual heart when they listen, maybe we would actually do something that will fix things.
