Rant/Rave thread
Chaavik:
That 15,000 dollars could've sent at least the first 8 kids to a 2 year college to get their associate degrees as a starting point.
Really.. I never will understand why some women like Octo-mom chose to make themselves look better than to look after their kids' welfare and make sure they have FUTURES.
My other pet peeve: News Media
They got nothing better to do than to report on these big families especially Octo-mom's family. Get with the program, newspeople! Who give a rat about these thoughtless women when there are human interests out there like children in the community needing programs to improve their minds and lives.
SenkoTwiik:
Exactly, if these morons would spend less time sticking their necks into other people's business (especially people that don't freakin need/want the attention), and more time reporting on things that the world needs to hear about. We might have a smarter country that actually has a clue about any of the goings on within it. Instead of people knowing first aid, what colleges are even affordable, how to change the tires of their own cars, what their tax dollars are being spent on, dietary health, etc useful things, they all seem to care about, "Oh my God! John and Kate are divorcing!" or "Oooh, I wonder who Jessica Simpson is dating." or "Wow, Octo-mom is getting a tv show." Why do we need to know these things?
soulofthesea:
i know that some will aruge, "It's called Freedom of the Press!" to those people, i'm sorry, but that celebrity gossip garbage is NOT news! seriously, who wants to hear about this actor's night out with a total stranger, or some other actress' custody battle with her rock star ex? it's all distracting from the main point of the news! maybe some of us want more info on Obama's recent press conference instead of his European vacation when he cheated on Michelle. (i know that never happened, but it's just a scenario :P) leave all the celebrities' personal lives out of the media! they don't belong there!
which brings me to another pet peeve: reality shows, celebrity reality or not....1gah
trust me, i may have some issues, which i really need to see a pyschologist for, but i have a strong sense of reality, and those reality shows ain't it! sure, some of the drama between the cast is somewhat amusing, i'll admit that, but you could tell almost all of the drama's scripted. and besides, in reality, do people pull you out of your everyday life so you could give youir thoughts on what's going on? i didn't think so!
SenkoTwiik:
Totally agreed here. I hate reality tv. Why in the holy heavens would anyone in their right mind want to watch dumb bimbo Jessica Simpson try to decide whether tuna was chicken or tuna for a full 30 minutes?! Or watch the boring old Duggars with their zoo of children trying to act like they are perfect. Don't they think we have better things to do? I honestly don't like to watch the news because a lot of things are too depressing for me, but still. Right now I am more interested in that Medical overhall the president is proposing. I think Americans getting free medical is more important than John's meth-head looking girlfriend and how long he started dating her after the divorce.
Naria:
1chair <-- What I'd like to do to all reality TV, most especially talent shows. I've been waiting years for the reality TV trend to die in a fire, and it hasn't happened yet. :'( So I stick to watching fantasy shows, some cartoons, and Jeopardy.
And a rant to add ... why can't an adult watch cartoons without being deemed childish? What's so wrong with liking kids movies and cartoons? They are cute, funny, lighthearted, and don't make me want to jump off a cliff. Should I always have to stick with depressing drama movies instead because it's better suited to me? Spongebob Squarepants is downright hilarious and the Penguins of Madagascar show is my dream come true, I love penguins.
