Get your blog and much more!
I'll start with a warning...if you don?t like reading, you may as well leave now. For everyone else, carry on.

First on the agenda for tonight..."You don't mess with the Zohan"
If you think this looks like a good movie to watch...you're sadly mistaken. Trust me, I found that out tonight. Actually, I?ll clarify a little. If you have a decent brain inside your head, then don?t torture it by watching this movie. If you?re a fan of penis, incest and old people sex jokes and gags, then this movie will tick all your screwed up boxes. Seriously, what could?ve been a good movie was (once again) ruined by the collective stupidity of both Hollywood and the majority of our younger population (I?ll get that point shortly). Was it worth the six dollars I paid to see it? I?d rather pay six dollars to Hezbollah to help them destroy Hollywood. Oh wait, I?m sorry, that was a crude terrorist joke designed to belittle a big issue and spawn a legion of followers that think world affairs are a joke, hm?the movie must have rubbed off on me.

Enough of that sandler crap.

Ok, so I?m not old, or even at a stage where one would consider me overly versed in the ways of the world. But even I can notice one thing?once the generation below us are running this planet, it?s going to be one huge clusterfuck.
At first (in all my cynical glory) I thought it was just young kids around here that were ignorant of pretty much everything?but the more I read, the more I travel round and observe, the more I realise that it?s a bloody epidemic. And it?s only fuelled by the ineptitude and total bullshit spawned by the younger parents out there, who are in turn influenced by whoever the hell claims a qualification for talking or tv, and those who make the laws. I have one example in mind, and it shows what I mean.
Smacking kids that misbehave.
To clearly define this, I don?t mean beating the living crap out a kid for knocking over a pot plant. I mean a smack on the arse or a clip up the ear, just enough to sting, but not enough for any damage.
Ok, first I ask the question?what would you fear more, physical pain, or a talk that you can just tune out of? Me, I?d fear the pain more.
Now in the wild, in most co-operative packs, when a dominant member of pack confronts one below it in the pecking order, it doesn?t just stand there and growl at it, it bashes it up. It?s not to kill (that?s territory battles, not just pecking order), but it?s to show the lower one who is boss, by using the one thing that all living beings try to avoid, pain. You know why animals use this as a tactic to control their young underlings? Because it works.
I?m not advocating that kids get walloped everytime they do something wrong, just that a smack at the appropriate time solidifies respect for the adults?but it has to be backed up with a solid approach all the time. And lets face it, how many young kids have firm parents? Not many. Why? Because it?s not the thing to be seen doing?I mean for chirst sake, there?s a law against smacking children? WHY? Belting to excess, I can understand a law against that, but cmon, seriously, what the fuck.

This is the paragraph that I?m expecting to get crucified for?.oh well, here goes.
In my opinion?we are the weak infidels that such societies as hard-line arabs perceive us to be. We have children running amock, without fear of consequence. We have an increasing trend of laziness amongst young adults (and yes, I?m guilty of this too, I?d be a hypocrite to say I?m totally different), and a emerging generation that cant work out change for a can of coke from a five dollar note without a calculator. So yes, I believe our society is weak?if not currently, but it is certainly on the slide.

I?m not a crusader, I know I cant change an entire society. All I know is that I stick to my values?although how long until that gets me into trouble, remains to be seen.

The circle of Ignorance in society rangers farther and wider then alot of people thought, and the density of the problem magnify's in the city's. But there are times I wish I was as ignorant as them..
I love the smacking policy, I will use the smacking method for my chilren, mum used it on me and she what did it 3 times EVER. That and she has the temper like the incredible hulk 3 fold, and I only remember breaking the washing line twice.

Just looking at society today, everything you read in this post is totally true. From how our society is tracking today, how the hell are we going to survive in future? Be prepared to learn to speak Arab...
