I've been in a craptacular mood lately so I've decided to blog my first ever public rant session. So here goes:
Where did all the public support for Haiti go? The country has not been fixed. People are still homeless, jobless and destitute. Why did all the celebrities stop endorsing fundraising for Haiti? Where are the media reports? Charity in this country is such crap. It is some stupid fad for dumb, white Americans. They could donate their $5 and feel like they made a difference and then go to the mall and buy the new iPhone.
Speaking of charitable events, I HATE them! Like sororities and whatnot holding car washes for homeless shelters? Have they ever been in a homeless shelter? Do they volunteer for a homeless shelter? Are they even going to drop the money off at the homeless shelter themselves? Are they going to think about homeless people after the car wash? Do they even think about homeless people during the car wash? My guess is, no they do not. I'm sure they feel like they are doing something good by donating their time for 3 hours. Really, they are only stroking their egos without having to do any actual charitable work.
Or how about people who only donate food in December? People need to eat other times of the year too.
I also despise people who don't vote. The only people who could vote when this country was founded were white men who owned property. That was not very many people. Today, everyone can vote due to some hardworking people in our past who were imprisoned and murdered so we could have this right. It is not difficult or time consuming. People who don't vote and then complain about the president all the time should just cancel their existence on this planet.
Want to know who really sucks? Anti-choicers who are fighting rather successfully to make abortion illegal. Ask them what they want to happen to women who have abortions when it's illegal and they say one of two things: No women will have abortions when it's illegal or women should not go to prison, but they should be prayed for and go to counseling. So really, they have no idea what they want other than for everyone to be crazed Jesus fanatics like them.
Bill Clinton is awesome and Hillary is one lucky lady.
I guarantee that in a few more months people won't even be talking about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and by the end of the year, most people will be filling up their tanks at BP gas stations all over the country.
Ever wonder why people all over the world are disgusted with Americans?
I hate many more things but all rants must come to an end.

Also, don't bother donating anything if it is expired or garbage. Where I work, we sometimes collect food to waive fines and we get some pretty yucky and old stuff.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Where I volunteer, if something is stained or smells or broken we donate it to St. Vincent Depaul, which is crummier than the Salvation Army.
