GET THE POINT (Michael Savage)!!!!

GET THE POINT!!!!

Alright I haven’t done a rant in a few weeks however something really pissed me off where I had to write about it. A lot of people probably heard about what Michael Savage said about autism. Now I want you to look at an article by the anti-conservative group Media Matters

http://mediamatters.org/items/200807180001

In the article in states that Michael Savage is trying to take cheap show and belittle kids. If you actually looked at the entire thing he said then you would see that is not what he was trying to do and that isn’t what he did. They also talked like he was talking down to minorities with asthma, when in fact he wasn’t. What he was doing was bringing up known facts that people in minority groups were not given the appropriate care and were just diagnosed with asthma to get the money flowing for this racket. This organization took what he said completely out of context and doesn’t understand the point he was trying to make. Now what I am going to do now is post the entire transcript of what he said and I hope you are smart enough to get the point of what he is trying to say.

SAVAGE: Now, you want me to tell you my opinion on autism, since I'm not talking about autism? A fraud, a racket. For a long while, we were hearing that every minority child had asthma. Why did they sudden -- why was there an asthma epidemic amongst minority children? Because I'll tell you why: The children got extra welfare if they were disabled, and they got extra help in school. It was a money racket. Everyone went in and was told [fake cough], "When the nurse looks at you, you go [fake cough], 'I don't know, the dust got me.' " See, everyone had asthma from the minority community. That was number one.
Now, the illness du jour is autism. You know what autism is? I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is.
What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, "Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot."
Autism -- everybody has an illness. If I behaved like a fool, my father called me a fool. And he said to me, "Don't behave like a fool." The worst thing he said -- "Don't behave like a fool. Don't be anybody's dummy. Don't sound like an idiot. Don't act like a girl. Don't cry." That's what I was raised with. That's what you should raise your children with. Stop with the sensitivity training. You're turning your son into a girl, and you're turning your nation into a nation of losers and beaten men. That's why we have the politicians we have.
Now the point he is trying to make here is that parents have to straighten up and stop babying their kids so much. The other point that he is trying to make is that it is a huge racket and they are going to keep on diagnosing kids with autism and have them put on medication in order to give these pharmaceutical companies more money as well as the doctors who diagnose the child with autism. Someone also told me that LEGIT doctors are the ones who said that 1-150 kids are being diagnosed with autism. Give me a break that is like asking John Gotti if there is a mafia and then believing him when he said that there isn’t. These doctors are the ones who want to keep this racket going. They already do it and over diagnose kids with ADD and ADHD, and now they are starting to do it with autism because it is the “in” disorder now.

People also need to stop making a huge deal that Savage said 99% of the kids diagnosed with autism don’t really have it. Yes this is an over exaggerated number but it’s really no different when your outside on a hot day and you say “it’s a 1000 degrees out.” Obviously you are over exaggerating those numbers but people see that and they just think Savage is an insensitive asshole.

I’ve also been looking online and talking to people about what Michael Savage said and for the most part, people agree with him and understand the point he was trying to make. This isn’t just me talking to right wing nut jobs, but I have talked to several people who are more liberal and to the left and they support what Michael Savage is saying and say how he is bringing up a good point.

We need more people like Michael Savage who say what is on their minds and doesn’t hold back because they are worried they will offend someone. I completely support Michael Savage and think people need to do the same thing. This isn’t about being conservative, liberal, left, or right. This is about freedom of speech and being able to say what is on your mind. I will also say right now that I may not agree with the stuff liberals say but that is their right to say it because we have freedom of speech.

That is all I am going to cover in this rant. I have thing I plan on ranting about soon. Don’t know when they will happen but just wait and you’ll get them.

So Much Insanity

So Much Insanity

That’s right. I am still alive and I haven’t changed where I do my rants either. There just really hasn’t been much to rant about however today I got a few things I just got to let out.

Now it has been a year since the whole thing happened where WWE wrestler Christ Benoit killed his family. What I want to bring up today is I watch people make videos of him or write things about him and they claim that they “knew him.” People who say this shit are complete fucking idiot. Just because you watched someone on TV once or twice a week does not mean that you knew him. Also meeting the guy at an autograph session and even talking to him for a few minutes, is not knowing him. So stop with the whole bullshit about how you knew and you couldn’t imagine how he could do that. The same thing happened when OJ was on trial. People who watched him play football would claim that they couldn’t believe he did that because they knew him and he killed 2 people in a very gruesome way.

This is how sports are with people. People think that because they watch a guy perform on TV that it means they know him, and because he keeps a good personality while he is playing that it automatically makes him this honest and good person. I’ll even give you a few examples. People said Roger Clemens was a standup guy and would never cheat. Within a few months this guy was linked to steroids and having an affair with an underage girl. Let’s also look at Marvin Harrison, people always said he was a standup guy then a situation happens where there is a shootout that involved guns that he had.

Now enough with the sports related talk. Let’s go onto something I’m sure people have heard of. A little while back there were a group of 17 teenage girls who decided to make a pact and would all get pregnant. Now these girls didn’t even care who the father of their baby was going to be, they just wanted to get pregnant. This is shown as proof as one of them is a 24 year old homeless guy. These girls decided it would be fun to have a baby, but they don’t realize that they are fucked. These girls probably can’t support themselves so I don’t know what makes them think they can afford to support a baby. This story pretty much speaks for itself on how retarded these girls really are.

Also let it be known that there is no such thing as a big dick car. I had a friend who is going to get some fancy sports car and I told him that’s a small dick car, then he goes and asks, what’s a big dick car? My answer was that there is no big dick car because what makes a car a small dick car is that people will think they have a big dick while driving it. The best thing to do is to get a car you like and don’t get a car because people will think you are cool. All cars work the same way and will get you to your destination, assuming that they are in working order. Yes this was a really random thing to talk about but right now I am just going on instinct.

Does anyone buy a soda and see a code on the bottle cap and actually go online to enter it in. For all I know I could have one millions or dollars but I really don’t feel like wasting my time and going online and entering the code. Whatever happened to winning something instantly? I want to win something and not have to go online to see if I even won anything. They could at least tease you a little bit and put on the cap “YOU WIN” and under it have some code you enter online. I mean sure you’ll get online and find out what you win and see it’s a 20 oz soda, but at least you actually decided to go online and bother entering the code. Also another thing that pisses me off is they don’t have the just win free 20 oz cap anymore. Now it’s just a buy on get one free. What the fuck, I don’t want to have to buy something in order to get something free. I want to just get the free soda and be done with it.

Alright this rant is done. I don’t know when the next one will be done. My next rant could be tomorrow or it could be in 3 months. Just let it be known that I am never going to stop writing rants. So unless I die there will be another rant.

Alright allow for me to just write

Alright allow for me to just write

Alright this is going to be a little bit of a rant and a little bit of just writing. I don’t really know what it’s going to be more of so just sit back. Have a smoke or drink some whiskey and enjoy it. You could also sit back with a cranberry juice or something I don’t give a shit.

The first thing I would like to discuss is old English. I’m sure a lot of people have read something from Shakespeare and look at it as being very sophisticated English. I disagree with that and it’s the fact that no one was around at that time. Slang is one of the hardest things to pick up on when you read and the hardest part about learning any kind of a language is learning the slang part of it. My assumption is that all of this so called “sophisticated” English is nothing more then slang. I could just imagine how a dialogue and the footnotes you would have if people read or listened to the way spoke in 100 years.

“How you doin, son” or “Take it easy bro”

Now we look at this and this is how people will talk now. Saying son doesn’t mean your referring to an actual son that you father or mother. Saying Bro isn’t referring to your brother, and take it easy could even be hard to comprehend to people who may read the English language in 100 years.

So with that you could look at a phrase like this from (and this is just some random line I grabbed):

LADY MONTAGUE
O, where is Romeo? saw you him to-day?
Right glad I am he was not at this fray.

This is how this would be said today.

Hey, Where’s Romeo? Have you seen him today? I’m glad (or Thank God) he wasn’t at that fight.

Now is that really that much different? I could get into more complex shit but by this point I have probably already put people asleep so let me get on with doing a little rant.

RANTING STARTS

Alright I am so tired of these horror movies that are constantly coming out. I mean you have a movie where a girl is at her prom or something and some guy escapes out of jail to kill. It’s fucking retarded because it’s like they make it so everything has to come together perfectly. This guy who I guess killed her family or something just happened to escape from jail when she had her prom. That is so fucking stupid. Plus they all seem to be the same damn thing… some crazy guy goes on a killing spree, then all of a sudden he kills some people no one cares about, oh and then kills the person everyone seem to like and people hate it, and then he kills the person everyone hates and people cheer. Oh don’t forget about the whole anticipating moment that end up being nothing and then all of a sudden BOOM there is something coming out of nowhere. Plus have you ever noticed that whenever they start to have that slow music and suspense it never ends up being nothing. Those movies are fucking predictable and they get boring quickly.

Another thing is can we please stop with all the movies that have a fucking drug thing in them. There are so many fucking movies that seem to have the whole drug embargo going on and then someone gets into serious trouble and is probably even killed. SAME OLD SHIT.

Also now that we are on movies I want to mention something about Will Farrell. I used to really like him but then I saw his last movie about some basketball team or some shit. Then it occurred to me that this guy has got the exact same character in all of his movies, Old School, Ricky Bobby, That figure skating movie, Anchorman and all his others. The guy was hilarious when he first left SNL and did movies, but now he seems to just be getting boring and doing the same shit over and over again. Plus every time he tries to do some movie where he acts differently it is horrible. Shit Nicole Kidman was funnier then he was in Bewitched. It also just seems like at times he is trying too hard to be funny.

I’m sitting here looking at the shit I was going to write about. However with my ranting I got to be pumped up about something and it has to be fresh in my mind. I got about 5 things I was looking to write about and trust me they may come in time, but not quite yet. When the time comes you will get them and now that I am starting to write I just thought about something else.

The next thing I am going to talk about the Howard Stern Show. I don’t understand why so many people are obsessed with his show. If you listen to it all it is, is the same shit over and over again. He has one of his weird people call up and they all make fun of him. They have some porn star or something come in and they get all perverted with her and try to get her to strip and go on that sex machine they have, whatever the fuck it is called. I’m not going to sit here and say it’s not ok once in a while because I don’t mind a little stupid talk every now and then. However I can’t really watch it for more then 2 days in a row. I need some kind of intelligent radio where people talk about the shit that matters. Plus people got to stop with acting like Stern is a genius. It’s like a said before about how a name means a lot. There are thousands of people out there who could do his show, but because of his name people will look at him as the king.

Well after all my writing and thinking and thinking I guess I should… Oh wait I just thought of something else. Also if you’re wondering, yes I have been tested for ADD.

You ever look at someone and say they are a genius. Being a genius means you have a high IQ but it does not mean you are intelligent. Intelligence is measured by the decisions that you make. Being a genius just means you have a high IQ. Charlie Manson was a genius but he wasn’t intelligent. Had the guy been intelligent then he wouldn’t have used his mind in order to manipulate people to kill for him. Most Serial killers are geniuses, but they are not intelligent because they are using what they have just to go out and kill people. They are the fucking obsessed who probably go around and have newspaper cutouts of the people who they have killed to make them feel like some kind of a celebrity. So don’t look at some guy and think he knows all because he is a fucking genius. It’s not being a genius you want to have but it is having the intelligents to not do stupid things

Now I think I am going to close this out. I’ll just do it now in order to prevent me from thinking about something else to write about.

Time to Vent

Time to vent

Alright I was watching the local news today and I hadn’t watched it for a while. The reason I didn’t watch it as often as I should because of the fact that it just pissed me off. This time is no different so here it is.

Alright one of the things I first saw is that this guy in Texas wants to run for mayor in a city. Sure it doesn’t sound like anything shocking, but the guy is a registered sex offender. Why the fuck would they allow for a registered sex offender to run for mayor? This is just something that pisses me off and I really can not understand this kind of crap. The guy should be lashed and yet he is running for mayor. Also when you really think about it, in order for this guy to even be able to run he would have had to have raised money and gotten supporters. So it shows that some people actually want this guy to become a mayor. People should be fucking shot for shit like this and anyone who votes for him should get their dicks/cunts ripped off.

Alright now onto the next thing I saw. At the Boston Aquarium they allow for the people to swim with sting rays. Oh and guess what… one of the people who did it got stabbed by the sting ray and died. Then again you here these people who work with sting rays say they are docile and calm creatures. Didn’t they learn anything from Steve Irwin dying. Yes they may be docile creatures for the most part, but they have the ability to be very dangerous and kill. So why the fuck would the aquarium allow for people to swim with them? This is just shit I don’t understand and it shows the stupidity of people.

Now let me go onto something else. Why the fuck is the government wasting money on shit that has to do with sports. I swear this senator for Pennsylvania is spending money because the NE Patriots cheated with a camera. Is that really something you need to spend taxpayer money on? The NFL is not a federal company so stay the fuck out of it. The same can be said with this same steroid bullshit. There are other things they should be spending money on then doing a fucking federal investigation on this shit. Pisses me the fuck off that the money that gets taken out of my paycheck goes to this garbage.

Alright that’s all I needed to vent out on and thank you for reading. Also if you didn’t read what I said and just went to the last paragraph then you’re a fucking idiot who can’t manage to read a simple page. You probably spend your time looking at stupid shit while letting your mind rot yet you think you are smart because you can tell me who is going to win the NCAA Tournament, when in reality you’re an idiot. Thank you.

Stupid Statements

Stupid Statements

Alright here is another actual rant and just act like I said some interesting introductory and I’m going to get onto it. Oh and here is a 2nd paragraph so it at least seems like a small paragraph and not just one sentence.

I absolutely can not stand it when people make stupid statement. I get a lot of this when I am working at night and people just say stupid and obvious. The other day it was raining out and so many people went to me and said “wow it’s really raining.” Thank you so much for stating such and obvious thing, I’m surprised these people didn’t become meteorologist. Here are a few stupid statements and things people say that just seems to annoy the shit out of me.

“You working hard or hardly working”

“Wow your wearing all black”

“Hot enough for you.” This is usually by people when it’s like 90 degrees outside and what am I supposed to be like. Yeah I wish it was a little hotter so I would be even uncomfortable right now.

“Are you working tonight:” This is a retarded one for me because I wear a uniform and I wouldn’t be wearing it if I wasn’t working. The same when you see a guy walking home with a Best Buy shirt and people would be like “Oh did you just get out of work”

Now here is another stupid thing that I see on bumper sticker or see people say. “I want peace in the world.” You idiot everyone is going to want peace so it’s not like there is this group of people who are like “yah I wish a war would break out right now and I want to live in a place where I got to dodge bullets” Everyone is going to want peace so why do people think they are so unique and standing up for something that is fucking moral sense. Unless you’re some maniac who wants to go around and be in a war then you’re going to want peace.

There are just so many stupid things that people say and if anyone wants to do a little mini-rant in my comments about stupid statements then go ahead and do it because there are a lot more then this.

Lets bring it back

This is not going to be a long rant but one thing I will say is that it will be a rant. Lately I have not been doing much ranting and looking at some of my recent writing all they seem to be is something where I am trying to inform people. All the writings have been lately is me trying to do something different, but I will not be doing that as much lately. The way I wrote was simply a way to let out frustration and anger towards all the fucked up things people say and do in this world. So enough of the commentary and enough of me writing about shit that you can Google and see about 8000 things on with people trying to inform. The reason I started writing was not to inform people about shit. What the fuck was the point of writing about shit like how to save money? Its common sense on how that shit is done. We all know you are going to get tons of people who are going to take facts and mix them around and it's the reader’s job, not mine, to find these things. I will be going back to RANTING when I feel fired up about a topic enough. My next rant could be months away, or I may get fired up about something enough that I'll write something later on tonight. However now that I think about it, there was something that I had been wanting to rant about for a while and I didn't let it out because I wanted to do it in a video rant, but fuck that I am going to just rant about it now.

Alright now I like to go on YouTube and watch videos once in a while. However there are people who are obsessed with wanting to get their names out. What they will do is that on YouTube you can post video responses to other people videos. They will look for a video from someone who has a lot of subscribers and then post a video response to one of their videos. The problem with this is that the video they are posting has absolutely nothing to do with the video they are responding to. I saw some idiot reply to a video that had to do with Macs by one of the top subscribers and it was just some fucking idiot doing nothing more then rapping. Some fucking rapper, who is undiscovered, and is fucking horrible, trying to get people to listen to your crap by replying to a video someone who people actually give a shit about.

Also does every fucking black dude want to be a fucking rapper? I go down the corner and see 2 homeless guys trying to rap. One will be having a harmonica and the other will rap and look likes a fucking moron. People probably only give these idiots money because they think they are retarded. Cut the fucking BS and get a fucking job like anyone else would. You may also want to look to stop smoking crack as well.

Alright there was a rant and this was actually a rant and now I actually have the gratification and I am getting my fire back with what I rant about. Now I may still do writings from time to time, but they will be more like the things I wrote when I wrote about Utopia. This is not “Enriquo News”. Also there are probably about 5000 grammar errors on this. I wrote this at work and right now I got to run so please shut the fuck up about them. I'll probably correct them later.

EDIT: Ok grammar was corrected. Don’t lie because you didn’t think I would actually do it. Yes you know who you are.

Misleading Facts and the Power of a Name

Misleading Facts and the Power of a Name

Alright again I am not really going to be doing much of a rant but more of just writing. Some people seem to like this style of writing while some people think it really doesn’t feel the same. I can write in very different ways and when I feel like doing another one of my rants where I just go all out then I will do it.

People will do whatever they can in order to try to get their points across. They are willing to do whatever they can and a lot of them will tell you that what they say is fact. When they say what they say is true they are telling the truth, however they will also bring up facts that are irrelevant or negate certain other facts. In this situation they are not technically lying, but they are still misleading in their convictions.

There are several examples of this situation. There are a ton of rapists in the world and if you asked 10 of them if they masturbated before they raped someone they would all say yes. So to someone who is trying to stop someone from masturbating and trying to give the impression it is bad they could say that 10 out of 10 rapists said they masturbated first before they raped someone. So does that means that if you masturbate you are going to become a rapist? It doesn’t mean that at all but people will want you to believe it. If this were true then just about every person on earth would be a rapist.

Maybe that example seemed a little bit too farfetched for you, so I’ll give an example of something that people here about more often: “If you smoke marijuana, you’ll start doing other drugs.” Now let’s look at the facts here, people who are using cocaine, heroin, LSC, or most other drugs have stated that they started off by doing marijuana. Now to someone who is trying to convince you that pot is a gateway drug, that’s where they will stop in delivering their facts. They fail to mention that out of all the people who do pot most of them DO NOT end up trying other drugs. Also lets not forget that pot is the easiest drugs to get, so somebody who is thinking about experimenting with drugs and wants to try all kinds of stuff is going to end up trying pot first because it is the most accessible. Now they already got it in their minds that they want to try out new drugs, it’s not like they are trying pot for the first time and after they smoke it they are like “damn that weed was good, but now I want to try some crack.”

Allow for me to give another example of this situation. The other night I was watching TV and I stumbled across an infomercial saying how you can make money buying foreclosed homes. They mention things like how you can get them cheap and below market value, but they fail to realize important things. When you buy a foreclosed home you are buying blind because the bank isn’t going to let you look in the inside of that house and do you really expect the people who are getting kicked out of their house to let you take a look? Also don’t forget that when houses are foreclosed it’s not like someone comes to the house one day and tells the people to get out and it’s all settled in a day with someone making sure the people don’t damage the house. Foreclosure proceedings will last at least 3 months. In 3 months you can do a lot to damage a house and someone could just go and take a chainsaw to it. Another thing about foreclosures is the price is only about 5%-10%, on average, less then what the market value is. Someone who is trying to sell the fact that buying foreclosed houses will tell you that you can get a house at 40%-50% less then the market value. Now this isn’t a lie because you will only pay about 5%-10%, on average, less then what the market value is. The key phrase there is “on average” which means that there are houses that could end up going that cheap, however it is highly rare. One more thing is that even if you did get the house for less then what the market value is, the house could be damaged so bad that you may end up spending so much money to fix or even rebuild the house that you end up spending more money then what the market value for that house was. This section actually turned into a little part by itself, but I’ll go on.

I was going to make this a one topic writing, but now I feel like writing about something me and one of my friends briefly discussed. Someone I know today bought a video game and didn’t even play it. The only reason he even bought this game in the first place was because it was Final Fantasy. Even though he may not even like this series he still bought it because of the Final Fantasy name and the history that it has. A name is a huge part of marketing and how we look at things and it’s not just in games. If you blindly went to someone and told them, ok you can have a Mercedes or a Ford, which one do you want? Now without even knowing what exactly their choices are most people are going to pick Mercedes because of the name and what it represents.

A few months ago some movie about a singer came out and it was supposedly a parody on the Johnny Cash movie. This movie had some actor I didn’t care about so I had no desire to want to see the movie. If this movie had put Will Ferrell in there then I would have wanted to see it and that’s another example of a name. Will Ferrell has a representation as being a funny guy so even if a movie looks like it won’t be funny at all, if he is in it then it’s going to spark people’s interest a little more.

This goes with advertising as well. If you own a bar and are like “we sell Boston Brewed Harpoon Ale” most people are not going to know what the hell you are talking about. If you are like “we sell Boston Brewed Samuel Adams” then people will know what you are talking about and would be more inclined to come to your bar. You also don’t see electronics stores advertise that they sell Vizio, Magnavox, and Sylvania. So they are going to advertise that they sell Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung. This is because the name sells and gets people interested in what they have.

Alright I am going to end it with that. I may have gone a little too far with the examples but I think they got my point across. Anyways have a nice weekend and don’t start smoking crack. I mean unless you want to smoke crack, but don’t say I told you to do it.
