Censoring Others Yourself Really Sucks!!!

What really sucks, is that companies like CleanFlix, FamilyFlix, or CleanPlay; are really against “Freedom of Speech” and they feel they are doing the public a favor when they are in turn hurting. They are saying you have the right to alter someone else’s film, and then re-selling it. Leave the film alone. That is the author’s work, if you do not want to see it fine. However, do not change it, say it is the same thing, and then re-sell it. It is against the law for someone to take someone else’s work, change it and then re-sell it. The companies that alter these films say there doing this so kids can watch it. HELLO! Idiots! A five year old child is NOT suppose to watch a Rated R, Rated PG-13, or even a Rated PG. If you are a parent and you are letting your kids watch these movies, and you cannot read the rating systems on movies. Well, you are in serious trouble. They have a rating system for almost every form of media. If you are a parent and do not know this. “Where the HELL have you been?” Even websites carry a rating system. Mine is rated PG-13. Therefore, you are curious if I would show my site to a kid, well it would probably depend on rather the parent of that kid would allow them to. However, I would be totally against some company coming in and editing my site, because they felt something in it was not to their liking. I have just begun to make my own Sim movies. There not the best, but there mine. I created them. I would hate someone else to edit them because they felt they were inappropriate. So I would say to this film butchers. Stop!

Gay's in Texas

I don't get it. I'm all for gay marriage. At least with them married I know who not to ask for a date. Or that he they marry I know who not to work for. Sorry, but all my gay bosses have been total asses. Lesbeins were fine bosses and I never had any of them ask me for a date. Which fit me just fine. I don't really see the problem, but I'm sure if any of my family reads this they'll form my opinion for me. There always good for forming my own opinion. But I say let the gay's marry because physically they can't breed. And isn't the Earth crowded enough.

Violence in Video Games

I just got through watching G4's special on "Violence in Video Games" which does make you think. Yes there is a lot of violence in video game, but it does not require the government to take action. Everyone is upset that kids play violent video games and they look to the easiest solution and blame someone else, in this case the Video Game Industry. When the real blame should be on the parents. The Industry does not control the parents' kids, they do not let the parents' kids into the gaming store and they do not hand the money to the cashier. It's parents that are buying these games. It's parents that are not reading the ratings for these games. It's parents that have money for a $50+ game.

The games have the rating written on the box. All you have to do is read it. Violence in video games have been around since the 1980s. There is a new set of parents parents that know about video games and the ESRB. A set of parents that know that there is violent video games, and they still buy them for their kids, and blame it on the industry.

Kids are kids, some are more violent than others. If a kid is taught correctly they know the difference between right and wrong. If a kid if displined correctly they are happier. If a kid if not displined they are out-of-control. One great example of this is on the show "SuperNanny" where the british nanny comes in evaluates the family and helps the parents displine their kids. In one such episode this little girl was so violent, she literally bit and scratched Jo Frost, proving that the parents really lost control of their kid and that it had no freaking thing to do with violence in video games. Another example is my friends kids. She has three kids 3, 6, and 8, she is so distraught because she says her kids are out-of-control and have no displine. But these kids do not play video games, they don't even own a video game console. Are they out-of-control because of violence in video games? Could it be that the parents don't know how to displine?

Blaming someone else is always easier, than looking towards the real problem. Violence is never the answer, and video games are not like life. But people that blame the Video Game Industry are idiots. If you don't like video games don't buy them. If you have kids and a video game console, educate yourself and your kids correctly. If your just a total moron leave now, but I don't want to talk to you.

Here is my solution: If your a parent and you have a kid that plays violent video games and is inturn violent, stand-up, walk to a mirror, and look into it. Because you are the problem, not the Video Game Industry.

Is my thoughts all muddled?

I'm just reviewing my past. Looking over papers that my mother so conviently saved. But why save papers from my first grade. I mean nearly all of them or D's and F's, and it didn't help that my first year in first grade I was mostly sick. But yes I did have to take first grade twice. Which I don't feel to bad because both my mom and dad had to take it twice too. The only one in my family that passed the first time was my brother.

Speaking of, my brother is the only one in the family that has been diagnosed with ADD when he was a kid. No one ever diagnosed me, everyone just thought I was lazy. Which that may be the case. But it's not like I'm not trying it's just that everytime I start on a project I have all these other ideas that come into my head. Like what if I did this, or what if I did that differently, or what project would I do if I did this. . . Type of thing. If this is not making any sense don't feel bad, because it doesn't always make sense to me. I do sometimes notice when I go back and re-read my work that stuff is often out-of-order, and I try to fix it. But sometimes I think that it's fine.

I decided to head to the ADD website to see if I could learn more. But all says I have to be diagnosed through a family physician. Well, I don't have one. basically it is because I can't afford one, because I'm out-of-work and I don't want to ask my parents for help. So I'm stuck probably living with an undiagnosed treatment for ADD. I'm not for sure if I'll eventually get it diagnosed, but in the mean time I feel stressed because if I do have ADD it would explain why I have trouble setting goals, staying organized, finishing a project on time, and having just one more thing in common with my brother. :)

I don't know if another will actually read this, but it does help to at least publish it somewhere.

Another day another way to waste gas

How's someone suppose to get a job? Gas? Bills? Cars? Even daydreaming? And now this business with Hurricane Katrina, I heard on the news that everyone there is coming to Texas to get a job and start over. So much for getting a job. Maybe I should move to another state. And now my dad's complaining about gas and how the usa doesn't have a back.up plan, and that we all will be looting in the streets when we run out. But luckily my pessimistic side takes over and says "that since I'm weaker than most I'll probably will be the first to die". But who really knows, we'll probably get blown up by aliens by than. Well, I'll try and write another blog entry before that happens. Til then, see you.
