Exactly one year ago in this month, a new act went into effect giving the government even more power to abuse. The Patriot Act came into effect in October of 2003. For those of you who don't know, the Patriot Act allows the government to enter onto your property and into your home without a warrant. If you're wondering how this could be allowed, of course, as everything else it all comes back to terrorism. If they feel that you could be a terrorist threat they are more than welcomed to storm into your house and preceed to rip it apart in search of foreign objects that are probably not even there. I don't care if you do have terrorist equipment, that's some straight up invasion of privacy. Considering you're usually being monitored no matter where you go, you're home is the one safe-house you can always retreat to, or at least that's how it used to be. I don't quite remember when the good ole US of A became a police state, but apperantly that's what we are building to. Oh and if you do have terrorist equipment residing in your homestead, and are found out, be sure to detonate it as soon as whatever special task force they have equipped to enforce this new act kicks your door in. |

The other day in school I was reading the newspaper when I happened upon an interesting article. Yulsef Islam, or as he was once known as, Cat Stevens, was denied entry into the United States because he was suspected of terrorism. For those of you who don't know, Cat Stevens was a musician who was well known in the 60's and 70's. His songs were composed of lyrics that struck a cord in most war-time hippies proclaiming make love not war, and give peace a chance. Now, simply because the man has converted to Islam he is now a suspect. Get fuckin real, if you gave him a gun the guy would turn it into a damn planter. Brian Doyle, spokesman for the US Homeland Security Dept. commented on the blocking of Islam into the US. "(He) was placed on a watch list because of activities that could potentially related to terrorism." In other words, the guy is a Muslim so we're going to segregate him. Islam was only in the states 2 months ago working on a recording. He had been traveling with his daughter to the states when his plane was rerouted and he was sent to Britain, his daughter was allowed entry to the states. How far are we going to allow our country to fall into post 9/11 paranioa that we accuse the most peaceful of people to be the most dangerous. Before you know it we'll all be living in bubbles and sueing every poor bastard that breathes on it wrong. |

The world is a crazy place people. After returning home from work one night I come to find my parents watching Fox 5 News. The current topic of discussion is coming to a close and the next big thing surfaces, and here it is, Reebok is having a recall on their Iverson series child shoe. Now what could cause a major shoe company to recall some 110,000 pairs of child size shoes? Well apparently the emblem on the side of the shoe can be easily removed. So what, right? Wrong. People have come to feel that the detachable symbol may become a choking hazard to small children. Ok people, let's come back to earth. How fuckin paranoid are you gunna become about the world around you? Before you know it everyone is gunna be living in their own personal bubble. And if your kid is preceeding to eat their shoes well obviously the kid is fuckin hungry and you should get him/her something to eat. Maybe if you parents would spend a little more time with your children instead of being so wrapped up in your "now" world, that is cluttered with high powered business meetings, dinner with famous clientele, and a quick stop to the day care center to drop of the children you never have time to see, maybe your child wouldn't be stupid enough to try and eat their damn shoe. |

In this time of national turmoil with constant threats of terrorism, it's good to see our countrymen really striving to protect their darling taxpayers, and lifting the ban on automatic weapons was really a great way to show love for us. Come on get fuckin real, they haven't been banned this long for no reason, and now of all times, you find it necessary to allow them to be legally distributed? I'm sure many people are asking why this has happened all of a sudden? Well let's dip into the mind of a politican. With the upcomming election getting closer and closer, political parties are on the hunt for all possible means of obtaining the largest mass of voters they can get. The National Rifle Association (NRA) happens to have quite a respectable standing in Washington DC (god only knows why) and to top it off, they always vote in record numbers. And what better way to grease the wheels of voter turnout for the Republican Party than to give a bunch of drunk Gun-toting rednecks the right to carry automatic weapons. Way to go Bush, way to fuckin go. I also have to say thanx to Big Jim Margiotta for this weeks topic. |

Yes it is true my few but loyal fans, I have made my return to the page of disatasfaction known as Why This Sucks. Although this is not a new to the media topic, I thought it was something worth discussing, cigarette smokers sueing tobacco companies for smoking related health issues. Come on people, let's use a little common sense, something burning that you are drawing into your body cannot be healthy, you shouldn't need a warning label to tell you that. And if you are so ignorant as to brush off that idea without a visual plaque stamped on the side of the box to tell you it's unhealthy well you my friend should fall to your doom at the sake of cigarette smoke because your stupidity is just another unnecessary anchor on an already weighed - down society. Another little topic that ties nicely into this is overweight people sueing fast food companies. You're overweight for two major reasons, 1) it's a hereditary thing that you really can only do so much about, or 2) you're just a lazy, unmotivated piece of shit waiting for your two orders of 20 piece chicken nuggets to rise out of the fryer. I'm not saying don't eat fast food, reguardless of how many different forms of life their meat may derive from, all I'm sayin is do more work to earn that other than waddle to your car and put forth the effort to lan out the window at the drive-thru to collect your bag of food. Instead of gettin a burger, get a fuckin salad for God's sake, and no the pickles on the 5 burgers you have or the large Diet Coke you got to wash it down doesn't balance out the cholestrol content. America is the most obese country in the world, get out and take a damn walk once in a while, and not just to the gas station for a bag of Dorito's. |
| This weeks' topic was spawned from the brain of my dear friend Jess Prindle. Jess has a problem with skinny girls who are bitching about being fat, and I can see where she's comin from with this. You people are irritating as all hell. You know you're skinny, the rest of the world knows you're skinny, so why the fuck do you have to deny the facts? There are people who would kill to be like that, not all people are fat because they're lazy, some are just naturally big, and although they aren't proud of it, they deal with it the best they can. And the last thing they want is some fuckin skeleton wrapped in skin talkin about how she needs to drop 15 pounds. Besides, real skinny people are just gross. The problem is mass media brainwashings that convince people that skinny is attractive when it's really not. I'm not gunna say beauty is skin deep cause that's too cliched and it's not really that true. Get to know someone, don't go by apperance. And if you've got a problem with that go stick your finger down your throat again you fuckin earthworm. |
| There is way too much emphasis on fashion today. People should not be judged by the clothes they wear. Of course there are those times when presentation is key, but for the rest of the time, clothes shouldn't make the man. That's why fashion trends are so pathetic. You go and spend a ton of money and drive yourself crazy trying to find things that will undoubtly be ridiculed and laughed at 2 weeks later when the new pick of the week surfaces in whatever milk-drinking typical teenage magazine displays. And the thing that totally sucks is if you actually like the clothes and aren't trying to fit in with the rest of the drones. If they actually appeal to you, you're gunna have to face criticism just for the fuckin clothes you like to wear! In conclusion, if people are gunna judge you by your attaire, fuck em, cause they're just stereotypical know-nothings who will never be satasfied with themselves. Clothes don't make the man bitch, get to know someone before you make a decision. |

Sorry about the delay everybody, this should have been posted last week but Xan's computer had a worm, so we were a little preoccupied. Anyway, fuck gas prices. As if people don't get fucked over enough with taxes, inflation, corruption, etc. etc., now they're gunna start fuckin us with gas. Hello, people gotta get to work so they can feed their families, or go to school to get an education, but even still they don't have money cause why, they gotta pay for unreasonably high priced gas. You can all take a moment now to that you're trustworthy and highly intelligent president Bush for this one. Yes the man has been verbally bashed since stepping into office, but this is one more time where we can do so. What I would like to know is, how they justify the constant rising in the price. In less than 2 months I watched prices rise over 10 cents. Now I know that may not sound like a lotta money, but when you start pumping, believe me you'll notice the difference. I would also like to thank my dear friend Toby Dalton for bringing this idea to my attention. |
| Computers, they can do a lot. They can access vital information online, allow you to type papers with ease and corrections, and they can single handedly bring down an entire company. Back in the day computers were a big deal, I mean if you owned a computer, you were like the man. Now they are found in households all across the world. But with that computers have brought more problems than many of today's modern inventions. Everytime you log onto your computer you have to be fearful of virus's plus your young childs' safety. Think about how millions of young children go onto the internet everyday to be met by a pop-up of some drunk college chick suckin down on a 12 inch dick while vividly flashing the words "Click Here For Free Sex Pics". Not to mention the annoyance that comes when the piece of shit freezes and has to be shut down only to have "please make sure you shut your computer down properly" appear on the screen. But I guess I really shouldn't complain too much, because without them how could I possibly expect all of you to read my weekly bitchings. |
| Emo, that's all I gotta say for this weeks' topic. As if the music industry wasn't in enough turmoil as it is, we have a new anchor dragging it further into the downward spiral it's already in. Bands composed of at least 4 people, wearing dark blue Dickie workpants and canvas Chuck Taylors all claiming to be punk rockers while doing no more than appealing to 13 year old girls who are mad at their parents cause they can't stay out past 10:00. Bands like Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line and other whiny little bitch bands are what is giving music a bad name. Either grow some fuckin balls and start making real music, or put your dress and whig back on and get the fuck back to the street corner where you belong. |
| Hey there, welcome back to Why this Sucks. Sorry for the delay, this should have been posted Sunday but I was sick with food poisoning (never eat a breakfast sandwich from a gas station). But to cut right to the chase, this weeks' item is the tag team duo that is Disney Land and Disney World. This money sucking venture depicts these funparks as must go to destinations which will be remembered by the whole family for years to come. They show you the typical white bread American puke family living it up on the rides and hangin with cartoon idols we've come to know and love. What they don't tell you is why you'll really remember it. You'll remember it for the mile long lines to go on a ride that will last about 5 minutes, walking around in the blistering hot sun, and dishing out rediculous amounts of cash for an overpriced bottle of water and some shitty merchandise that will undoubtly break on the ride home. Not only that but the poor bastards in costumes who have little snot-nose, virus infected children jumping all over them day after day. Last week in the news I heard them talking about how both parks are having more security installed due to the recent terrorist threats. Do the world a favor and let the fuckin place be bombed to a pile of smoking rubble. |
| This weeks' item is none other then the world's arch enemy, $money$. That's right money. No matter how you look at it no good can come from money. When you don't have it, you're miserable cause it makes it hard to enjoy the finer points of life. When you have money, the people that don't have it hate you, and the people that want it pretend to be your friend for the sheer purpose of sucking you dry. Not only that but if you are a person with money, if you do not give out to those who ask for it, you are seen as a greedy selfish person who cares for no one but themselves when all you're trying to do is save a few bucks. So reguardless of the situation, you just can't win. This is why money sucks. And although money is a necessary item to survive in today's modern world, that doesn't mean we have to like it. |
| If anyone actually gives enough of a shit to read this, check it out. If any of you have listened to the radio in the past few weeks, you would have heard Reality Check running a commercial talking about the effects on characters in movies smoking and the influnce that it has in society. Well I for one have had enough of these do-good Reality Check fucks. Sometime this week (if I'm lucky enough) I hope to have a Letter to the Editor of the Daily Star (yes ladies and gentlemen, Oneonta's hot press) speaking of how with all the other unlawful acts that take place in movies, that these few people have managed to zero in on one of the smallest parts of what a character does in a movie. Keep your fingers crossed it goes through. THANKS |
| - The Daily Star didn't print my editoral cause they knew I was fuckin right. Fuck them I'll get that shit printed! |
