Never a Shortage of Stupidity

Family Style Restaurants – I am not talking about family friendly establishments. I am talking about places like Buca Di Beppo where everyone is expected to share their food. Listen, when I go out to eat and I am paying, I want to eat what I want not what Uncle Fred wants. If I wanted to share food, I would have stayed home and just cooked something.

People Magazine – I’ve gone off on celebrity worship in the past and this magazine is it’s biggest offender. It offers nothing in the world of real news. It doesn’t break any new ground. All it really does is offer up softball profiles of good looking famous people the regular society would like to fuck.

Committee Decisions – Whenever you have a group of people making a decision it will inevitably be the wrong one. You can’t get two people to agree on anything so to expect a group of people to be able to come up with answers to important questions is never a good idea. However, nowadays everyone is afraid to make a decision on his or her own for fear of making the wrong one. So, corporate America has come up with this bullshit committee approach so that everyone’s ass is covered when a bad decision is made. You see you can’t fire a committee. It avoids personal responsibility, which is sorely lacking in this day in age.

Hillbillies still fighting the Civil War – OK, now this one is obvious. The fucking war was over 140 years ago and you lost. Get the fuck over it already. Quit flying your rebel flag and preaching about your Daddy. You are backward ass, centuries-old, outdated morons who need to realize that the south will not rise again and maybe think about voting for someone that doesn't like NASCAR.

Turn Signal Drivers – You know the type. You are driving behind some boob who has had his right turn signal on since he made a right out of the dealership when he bought his car. You drive behind them expecting them to turn at every intersection but they don’t. These drivers are not only annoying but can be very dangerous.

Billionaire Candidates – Buying your way into office is not cool. Just because someone has a lot of money does not mean that they will make a good Senator. Sadly, with the cost of running for any major office continuing to skyrocket we are left with billionaire’s who want to buy an office or moneygrubbers who need to beg for donations. It shouldn’t be like this and this is why we are in the current state of politics that we have.

Judgmental Sports – Any good sporting event should have a clear winner and loser. It should not be left to the whim of someone’s judgment. Hence, figure skating and gymnastics while no doubt take athletic ability to excel at, are not true competitions. At the end of a baseball game one team has more runs then the other, hence they are the clear winner. In figure skating, the contestants perform some jumps and twirls and the one that doesn’t fall the best is deemed the winner by a group of judges. Sorry, that isn’t a sport.

Lazy Management – Sadly, in today’s corporate society we have an overabundance of lazy managers. Buffoon’s who when asked to cut expenses take the easiest way out and lay-off workers. These Bozo’s never take into consideration the long-term effect on the company or the individual. It is lazy and takes no originality to fire people. If you want to save your company some money, role up your shirt sleeves and get to work coming up with something innovative.

Ketchup – I have long rallied against the overuse of this condiment. We over-ketchup things in this country. First off it really only is allowed in the dipping of fries. It should never be on eggs, chicken, steak, hot dogs, Italian beef, or tacos. Only the blandest and un-original of palettes eat this disgusting and bland condiment. Here’s an idea, try eating things without it and you just might enjoy them, like they were meant to be enjoyed. Having someone slave away on a meal only to have some yokel smother it in a mass-produced tomato product is insulting.

Buca di Beppo besides the annoying family style system also serves bad tasting food. But, to each their own.

I agree getting someone's opinion when making a decision is a good idea but in then end one person making a final decision is what should be the norm.

I don't agree with what the Rebel flag stands for, however I never said they couldn't fly it. I just think it is moronic and outdated thinking. The war is over and the south lost. (Thank God) I just wish they would stop fighting it. Also, anytime the south wants to leave the US and form their own country, that is fine with me. I wouldn't miss Nascar, biscuits and Gravy, or guys named Bubba.

Agreed that no turn signal is also annoying.

Please, don't get me started on Republican Billionaire candidates. That said any candidate, from either side will not get my vote.

I disagree with your comparison. An umpire is making a call in a game not making the final judgment. Sorry, but judges can be wrong and there is never a quantifiable way to determine who skated better. Therefore, it is not a sport.
