The Way I think people should act.
July 30, 2009
So to start off, I just want to say that yes, the title is a little pretentious and yes, it will come across a little self centered and arrogant. But having said that with total honesty, you are all just going to have to get over it. I mean, I have, already.
So what is this blog about? Well its about the way I think some of you should act. I say some of you because the other some of you already do act like this and need no lecture or random drivel from me to enlighten you. However for the rest of you, you need a good kick in the arse with some hefty direction signs painted in glow in the fucking dark paint, to let you know that you are heading in the wrong direction.
Of course there will be bitching and moaning about some things. But that is kind of obvious when I write these little excerpts of my thoughts.
Where to start? First off the conveyor belt will be teenagers. Seems to me that not so long ago I was one, and even when I was one there were the usual idiots around that you could have quite happily pushed in front of a moving traffic or perhaps wondered over to their parents places to ask where the hell did it all go wrong? It must have screwed up somewhere along the lines? How else do they explain their child’s behaviour.
Ok so that was then, and with any luck the teens of my generation grew out of it. I mean most do, right? Some didn’t however, and it is those that turned to drugs and crime and all things associated with gutter trash and being a loser etc etc. Now onto todays teens. They are far worse. And not because I look at them with hindsight, as if seeing my past misadventures unfolding before me like some visual autobiography, but worse because what they are doing makes the teenagers from my youth seem like holy saints.
They have no respect for anyone, that includes respect for themselves. Their parents, not only did they fuck it all up, but they also gave into bullshit minority groups who cried such things as ban corporal punishment, don’t punish your kids with a good spanking, and threats like touch your kids with anything more than “I am very cross with you young man” kind of tissue punishment, and expect to have them taken from you and told that you are not fit to be their parents, role models and moral teachers. And this prety much opened the flood gates for a whole new generation of insulent little shits that waltz around thinking they are all it. Sure we all thought we were when we were that age too. But most of us had a certain level of respect for not only our elders, but our parents, police, other people on the street. We maybe a little more broad minded these days and a little less right wing conservative, but I would say we turned out pretty damn well considering.
These days however all I see as I walk down the street is trash. So here are a few choice words for any teenager that might read this. And if you know some, feel free to send them this way for some words of wisdom.
Firstly, you are not all it. You are not the be all and end all of everything cool, or any other such word to describe such standing amongst your peers.
Learn to dress yourselves. I like most people with common sense and even a few braincells will tell you that wearing jeans, a classic look for more generations than rock and roll has been around for, are meant to be worn around your waste. Not hanging under your arse’s being constantly pulled up as if you were caught jerking off in the bathroom by your parents. I mean most of you have belts, do you even know what they are for?
Learn some respect. Just because your parents were too fucking stupid to show you some respect with their cotton candy attempt at an upbringing for you, does not mean that you have the right to treat everyone else around you like a piece of shit.
Learn the difference between right and wrong. Do you know what that is? Right isn’t the way you want it and fuck anyone else who gets in the way. And wrong isn’t someone else’s fault and no blame of yours. Right is about that which does not impeach upon others that they might be harmed in anyway, be it emotionally or physically. That your actions do not bring upon anyone, including yourself the pain of loss. Do not steal, lie, cheat, disrespect others, antagonise and attack others with some kind of misconception that what you are doing is right because hey who is going to stop you?!
Wrong is the other end of the spectrum. The intentional cause of pain and grief upon another living person so as to undermine them, and belittle them. To cause pain and agony to another is to inhibit them from living a normal happy life.
I won’t go into what I think about some of the other things you kids wear, but lets just say if there were ever a day of free open mark shooting for the masses, people with sunglasses bigger than their faces and those wearing skin tight jeans with flannies and died black hair would be in my initial targets.
Now I mentioned parents a few times. You lot are next. What the fuck happened? When did you lot lose your balls. When did you all sell your spines? What did your moral backbone do, take a vacation? Learn to discipline your children like normal parents did before you. Learn the difference between right and wrong, and damn well teach your kids. Those of you that have careers and have no time for you kids, you are the worst of the lot. If your careers were so important to you, then kids should never have come into the equation. I mean a lot of these kids these days are not only obnoxious little pricks with egos the size of Everest, but most of them are spoilt little brats that have silver spoons shoved so far up their arses that you lot have lost all ability to reach in and pull them out and give them a taste of reality. Some of you, should never have been allowed to procreate. If you knew you were going to have a career before hand then you should have known your time would have been limited and therefore logically speaking you shouldn’t have had kids till you had time to give to them.
So back to the title of my blog post. The way I think people should act. Well it’s pretty simple really. Act with common sense, this is the very basis of a sensible person. Show some respect, even if you think you are above it all, because you know what, you are not above it all, and you just make yourself look like an idiot.
Have some manners, they are cheap to get, in fact they are free. Please and thank you go a long way.
Know the difference between right and wrong. Know that causing someone else pain and grief is wrong and not acceptable not right and does not in any way shape or form make you look good.
Learn to think for yourself. Learn to be critical about the world around you and try not to be sucked into all the bullshit that is thrown your way at every corner you turn. Learn to recognise things for what they really are. Sometimes things are just utter bullshit and you need to be able to spot these things from a long way away. Before its too late.
Don’t be a sheep. Don’t wear something just because everyone else has it also. Sure, follow the standard set of laws and do what your parents say and ask, but don’t smoke just cause someone else does and don’t drink(if you are underage) just because you want to fit in with some group. Say no. That is another free to do thing.
Of course there are more things I want to say. But most of all I just want to say, show some respect, know right from wrong and most of all, stop thinking you are all it, because you are not. Show your parents some respect. Parents, show your kids some respect.
With any luck I will have pissed off someone over what I have written, and this is a good thing. It means that people are thinking that hey he can’t say that about me, he doesn’t know what he is talking about. Well news for you, I do know what I am talking about and there are plenty that will agree with everything I have said. So don’t think for a second that I am alone in the way that I want you all to think.
Have a good day where ever you are in the world and remember, there’s no life quite like your life, so show it some damn respect!!
