Put the fork down!

I can't fucking believe that the American car industry is catering to the Enormously Fat Fucks Of Regional Trans-america. I saw a recent report on CNN that interviewed a doctor in the US that stated that it was time that the American automobile industry should factor obesity into their designs as that is a growing portion of the population. This "doctor" sounded almost apologetic, he spoke of obesity as a disease. I refuse to believe that. I understand that in some situations its glandular, but for the most part it's just damned laziness.

Whenever someone says "I'm big boned." I'd like to quote Denis Leary and say, "You're big ASSED, Dinosaurs are big boned."

Not being morbidly obese, I'm sorry to say that I cannot and will not sypathize with all of you tubby fuckers out there. You have many avenues to explore, such as stomach stapling, god forbid exercise and maybe not eating that fucking twenty-third fucking cheeseburger. I am not the picture of health, nor do I subscribe to be so. I have my vices and I love them dearly, but if the day comes when I am so obese that I can no longer see my own genitals then things will change.

Outside of the small portion of the population that suffers from some thyroid maladay, the rest of you fat morons have no excuse. Get up off of the fucking couch and do something other than stuff your fat face with shit you don't need to be eating.

I routinely enjoy eating the crappier things in life, but at the same time I also enjoy immensely eating some things that are actually "gasp" good for me. I'm a big fan of fresh veggies (uncooked) and there are other ways you can eat things that don't have 10 billion calories.

What it really comes down to is the fact that I'm really fucking tired of people trying to make excuses for their own shortcomings/laziness. Accept the fact that you are a lazy retard and we all hate you and will mock you at every opportunity.

Death Toll

More than 3400 Iraqis have been killed in July of this year. Only 2752 (by their count) Americans died on Sept 11, 2001. To date somewhere between 40 and 45 thousand Iraqis have died in the American occupation of Iraq.

Iraq today is the US's modern day Vietnam. You'd have to be blind to not have seen this coming. Bush Sr. didn't have the cojones to take Saddam out when he had the chance and now Bush Jr. is bogged down in a war that is based on total lies.

I'm not trying to diminish the efforts of the brave soldiers of both our military and our cousins to the south. Unfortunately, these military people don't realize that they are no different than the so called enemies that they are fighting.

From both sides, this is a war of idealogy. Instead of agreeing to disagree, both sides have chosen to wage open war against each other. This is a macroscopic version of the "war" between Israel and Hezbollah.

The United States seems to think that they hold some sort of moral "high ground" against the Fundamentalist Islamic elements, when in all reality they are operating from the EXACT same mindset. The US has a long history of waging war against anyone holding a different ideolgy than them. It stems from the very roots of their coming into being.

The US foolishly believes that they can bully everyone to accept their worldview, that their way is the "right" way. They can't accept that anyone else might have a different perspective which I find laughable in light of the fact that they are dealing with belief systems that are thousands of years old verses their world view that has evolved over a few hundred years.

Regardless of what "history" may say, Israel has only existed as a country since May 14, 1948. The US support of Israel has done much to inflame the ire of radical Islam and yet they still seem unable to understand why such factions view them with such hatred.

The US continues to pour money and military hardware into Israel, allowing them to bully their Middle-East neighbours. The recent conflict between Hezbollah and Israel speaks volumes of Israel's conduct as a "good neighbour" in the middle-east.

The United States will continue to suffer at the hands of Islamic Fundamentalists and their own pathetic government. So long as the US continues their "War on Terror" the civil rights of the common US citizen will continue to be eroded to the point that the US will be functionally identical to the Islamic states that they have so vehemently opposed.

I don't know if that is the ultimate plan of the US goverment, to use the events of late as an excuse to turn the United States into a police state, but I hope that their delirium doesn't infect our fragile government here north of the border.

Sunshine, Rainbows and ...

FUCK RIGHT OFF! I'm glad to get that off of my chest, and now on with the show.

The real title of this entry should be "Of Mice and Utility Company Retards".

I recently ran afoul with my gas provider. That is to say I got behind on the bill and owed them a sum of money. In my world, money is a means to an end, not the end in and of itself. Not so with most, if not all of the corporate world.

I received a call from a gracious young lady from the aforementioned provider and I though all was well and good in my world. But, lo and behold the spastic moron didn't enter the payment agreement into the computer (what they pay her for is completely beyond the scope of this blog). As there is no record of said "agreement" my gas service was terminated with extreme prejudice with absolutely no notification.

Over the last few years, I've learned to be a reasonable and level headed chap (yeah, I can hear all you fuckers laughing), on learning of my predicament I promptly called the so-called "service provider" to ascertain the nature of my service interuption.

"We have no record of any payment agreement and you are in arrears on your account." That was the answer I received. Note to everyone: If you find yourself in a similar situation, a) take notes and record the call if you can, b) Dan runs Direct Energy.

I find it unconscionable that a company that does nothing but take credit (and payment) for someone else's work (Atco actually provides the gas, DE just does the Ass-fucking er... accounting, ah the wonders of deregulation) can cut off service with no warning over an outstanding balance of $126.94. Yes, that is what I owed them, and I had owed that for 41 days, not much over a month. In the "agreement" I spoke of, I had indicated that I would square the entire balance on the 15th, 5 days AFTER they cut my gas service.

This whole ordeal has once again cemented the fact that I despise corporations and wish I could move to the woods and send them letter bombs ala Ted Kaczynski (you might remember him as the Unabomber). It's a crying shame when someone that does so much good is put behind bars.
