It has been said numerous times and in a variety of ways, but you really CAN'T fix stupid. We can teach people any multitude of things, but if they just don't have it going on, there's really no reason to waste your time. I think the most appropriate thing to say in a situation like we are currently in is "stupid people suck"! That pretty much sums it up.
And exactly how many ways are there to say someones, well, stupid? The elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. One enchilada short of a combo meal. One fry short of a happy meal. Lights are on, but no one's home. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Not the brightest bulb in the box. Not the brightest bulb on the string. Not the shiniest piece of foil. Not the brightest crayon in the box. Not the brightest Congressman around. (I just made that last one up, and although there is probably a lot of truth in it, it's really kinda silly. I mean, we're talking Congressman. Is there a bright one?)
And as we sit here and talk about stupid, let me simply throw in the fact that I think it's STOOPID that we as a country have become so politically correct that our elected representatives can't even stand up for what's right without the fear of offending someone. If you're reading this now and I've somehow offended you, good. I don't give a damn about your feelings. Last time I checked I still live in the greatest country on earth!!! If you don't like it here, and you want to protest, get your ass over to Afghanistan and protest to the Marines and Army troops over there. They'd probably like to use your ass as an IED detector. I'm so tired of reading how the ACLU and LULAC, and NAACP are suiing people over the fact that they've been offended. You wanna be offended? I'm gonna start a group known as NAAWP. Then I'm gonna sue every last one of the other groups that sue this country for discrimination!
True story. I was up for a raise one time, years ago. I didn't get it. 13 hispanics and 1 black got raises. One white guy didn't get jack. I was told this point-blank by my boss's boss. He even offered to be a witness if I wanted to sue. Guess what I did? NOTHING. I went to work the next morning and the morning after that and worked my ass off to prove that I deserved the raise. I got it. My point is that by whining and crying all the time over unfair treatment, we have created a society of whiny-ass cry-baby's. Nobody is willing to work harder than the next guy to get ahead. They just want someone to come lay crap at their feet and treat them like a damn Princess. Then when they don't get it, WHAAAAAA!!!!!
I heard somewhere that America has somewhere around 4% of the world's population, but over 50% of the worlds population of lawyers. Hmmmmm. I see a pattern.
Same thing happened to me! I once got a 10cent raise....everyone else 50 cents or more...walked in the office and said you can take your dime and put it in your kids piggy bank...i will no longer work 80 hour weeks saving your ass....walked out with a cash settlement...spent it at the dance hall...u member...at the same time another person was calling the authority's to investigate them not paying overtime...ok this was the mid 80's...if you were working any kind of construction you remember companies were closing doors right and left...so overtime was paid out...but no money in the bank, everyone lost there job for what amounted to a couple of paychecks each...except for me...the guy that was willing to work 80 hours a week and make things happen...yeah they kept me...
ReplyDeleteThere is a limit to what you should do to keep a job for sure....but make sure you can get another one before you act, stupid...sometimes you have to say "i was looking for a job when i found this one" and sometimes you gotta think ahead and say i like living indoors...ask the guy living under the overpass,bet he had a job once...and i bet he say's they screwed him over......think about this...if you hate your job and you think you do your job better than anyone else...why do you work for someone else? Why don't you have your own company? bitching is easy...and bloging is easier...
