THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLE DAYS
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HEARS FROM THEIR KIDS THIS LITTLE GEM?
“I’M BORED” WAIT A MIN HERE, YOUR WHAT!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH OUR CHILDREN TODAY!?
I KNOW, I KNOW THAT COULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO ANSWER, BUT REALLY I CAN’T BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT AS A CHILD WAS ENTERTAINED FOR HOURS WITH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN EMPTY CARDBOARD REFRIGERATOR BOX.
WHAT HAPPENED TO A LITTLE THING CALLED…IMAGINATION? YOU KNOW, MR. ROGERS TAUGHT US THE MAGICAL WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE…AND HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOES! FOR THE LOVE OF PETE WE COULD STAY OUTSIDE AND PLAY ALL DAY WITH NOTHING BUT OUR IMAGINATION!
OK LET’S THINK BACK HERE, NOT TOO FAR BACK, I’M NOT THAT OLD…YET. OK PICTURE THIS, OUTSIDE WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS, EACH OF YOU ARE PLAYING THE ROLE OF YOUR FAVORITE SUPER HERO OR VILLAIN.
MAKING CAPES OUT OF TOWELS AND WEAPONS OUT OF WHATEVER LOOKS GOOD. SPENDING ALL DAY ON IMPORTANT MISSIONS, ONLY STOPPING LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE A PISS OR GRAB A SANDWICH, OR DEBATE ON WHO BRAVELY ASKS THEIR PARENTS FOR ENOUGH MONEY TO GO TO THE CORNER STORE TO GET CANDY FOR ALL OF YOU TO FIGHT OVER.
YES, THOSE WERE THE DAYS! NOW WE HAVE OUR KIDS IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER, OR ON THE PHONE COMPLAINING TO EACH OTHER ABOUT HOW BORED THEY ARE.
NOW DON’T GET ME WRONG HERE, I KNOW THE WORLD HAS BECOME UNSAFE TO WANDER AROUND THE WAY WE DID. NOW YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A PEDOPHILE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT YOU CANNOT HARASS, DO TO “THEIR RIGHTS” IF IT WAS UP TO ME I WOULD SHOVE “THEIR RIGHTS” UP THEIR ASS AND THEN PROCEED TO LINE THEM UP FOR A LITTLE PUBLIC STONING, A LITTLE PROCESS I BELIEVE SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK.
ANYWAY, THE POINT HERE IS, HAVE WE FAILED IN TEACHING OUR KIDS THE ART OF IMAGINATION? OR IS IT BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY “GADGETS” AND TOYS OF TECHNOLOGY THAT EASILY ENTERTAINS THEM?
EITHER WAY, I THINK THOSE OF US WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GROW UP IN THE WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE SHOULD TAKE SOME TIME OUT OF OUR BUSY DAYS AND REMEMBER THOSE FUN TIMES. SHARE SOME STORIES WITH YOUR KIDS, EVEN THOUGH THEY WILL LAUGH AT YOU OR ROLL THEIR EYES. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS. “STAY GOLD PONYBOY, STAY GOLD” please click the link to give me a point!

IDIOT FINES
First off let me say that if you are a very serious person who finds it hard to laugh, then this will not be the blog for you. Lately one of the topics in the news is our deficit problem along with border security down to our social security.
Well I think I have solved our problems! I believe if we implement this idea we could create a cash flow like no other!
Let me introduce you to the "Idiot" fines program. With all the public displays of random idiot acts, if fined could make our country billions! It's simple, we impose a fine of $1.00 to each person that displays an act of public idiocy.
The money is collected and every month a different group of ten volunteers will vote as to where that months total revenue will be applied. Whether it be put towards a nice big wall on our borders or to take care of our veterans needs, whatever is needed.
Now for some examples of public idiocy. If you feel the need to waste professionals time and sue a dry cleaners millions because they lost your pants, well you are an idiot and should be fined.
If you feel that serving your community is creating a committee that goes around and inspects neighborhood outdoor Christmas decorations....then you should be beatened, along with fined...well at least fined, corporal punishment would be another topic.
For our last example of public idiocy, if you feel the need to sit your fat ass down on an airplane toilet seat and reach behind and flush....well then your an idiot, and an even bigger idiot if you sue the airline claiming it's their fault your an idiot. It's not their fault you vacuum sealed your ass to the seat and sucked your cheeks into the very depths of the waste system.
It is not their fault your ass is scared for life, it is however your fault for scaring the people that had to remove pieces of your ass from the toilet waste area.
As for the courts that allowed the case to be heard, they should be fined as well, along with any media that spends more than 30 seconds on the story. No one is exempt from the "idiot" fine, schools, politicians, churches all shall be held accountable!
From the politicians alone we could raise billions! So there it is folks, a simple way to raise our country money. please click the link to give me a point :) http://humor-blogs.com/
