(suggested by Melissa)
I hate them! Everyone hates them! So why do websites bother with them? Well, they supposedly are a good way to get people to buy things or go to sites. I disagree. I mean, what is the first thing you do when you see the window pop up? X it out! I don't think this helps business and I think a better way of advertising on the internet is to have the add at the top or side of the webpage (like how Geocities does it) Now, for future predictions: I don't think pop up adds will go away any time soon. They go hand in hand with internet usage...Its sort of like commercial breaks on television. No ones going to just say one day "I don't like having to wait 60 seconds for my show, no there are no more commercials!" Luckily, there are ways to get rid of pop up adds. I don't use any of these personally, but there are programs you can buy or get for free that will get rid of annoying pop up adds. Just look for a site that gives them away on a search. Anyway, till next time. POP UP ADDS SUCK!
Rant #2: War with Iraq
Well, personally, I don't like wars...I have a feeling a lot of these young people who are going off to fight are going to come back with that crazy-veteran attitude. I also don't feel that it was entirely necessary (there were a few ways to prevent it that Bush totally ignored) Honestly, I've never been a fan of President Bush's, so I really don't agree with his decision to go to war with Iraq. Let's just hope as few people die as possible and that it is a short and effective war!
Rant #3: Vegetarians
I've had a lot of run ins recently with vegetarians, so I think I'll write about them. Y'see, one of my best friends is a vegetarians, and there's absolutely no way I can get her to eat meat. Except of course if its human flesh, but we won't get into that (let's just say that they don't make Boca human) Anyway, when I went on my trip to Italy, two of the girls in my tour group were vegetarians, and it gave our tour director quite a headache in trying to find food that they could eat at our hotel for breakfast and dinner. But really, is there anyway that a person doesn't support the meat industry? Even if you bought a bag of veggies from the supermarket, the people who work for the veggie company are going to get money, and guess what: most of them eat meat! So they spend the money they get on their delicious meat-filled dinners! woohoo! Now, hoiw can an environmental cow-loving person avoid this horrible cycle of death and suffering? I suggest that all vegetarians get thrown up into a far away mountain cave where they have to really live without eating meat, and then see how long it takes them to kill some squirrels or something. ...damn, I am evil.
