Just Plain Tired…Written as a response to what’s been going on recently in the news

(The webmaster has gone on many tangents and made many grammatical errors in English…I don’t care. This article was written on pure emotion and thought not on the conventions of how most people think).

SMALL ANGUISH

According to one of my college roommates, there’s a statistic in which every generation has the intelligent people going more intelligent by 4% per generation. On the other hand, most people of the upcoming generations get stupider and stupider by about 4%.
To be honest, I haven’t accurately taken my friend’s stat down not that I care about it But, am I part of a small minority that just thinks that the future does not like as bright. I try to be optimistic, and look for the good. But, I constantly keep thinking in my mind…“We are screwed.”
Instead of people focusing on be politically correct, some people need to go back to the FUNDAMENTALS. Whatever happened to common courtesy, anymore? I hold the door open for someone (and even though I shouldn’t expect it) who says thank you anymore. And now, people yakking on their cell phones while driving or just doing anything anymore. I can’t even go to church or a movie theatre without hearing some annoying ring tone or now music clip.
Is the webmaster going on a tirade…HELL YEA! Everyone tries to be different or unique especially in our society. THAT CAN HARDLY BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. Most people follow a stereotype, a trend, or just follow another prototype. I will explain these concepts later in a future article. For now, the webmaster will write about the recent news stories.

THE SHOOTING AT RED LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL

I am not shocked at all by it. The event of a school shooting is inevitable now these days even with the best security in the world. The majority of people cannot be free in our society anyways, so how can one escape from it.
While watching CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360(‘s)” coverage of the Red Lake Shooting…an author has fund the solution to this problem.
It’s quite simple…the concept of the “BULLY” has changed completely. Usually, the bully would be the mean, fat kid….NOT ANYMORE. The mean, fat kid is the one being picked on these days. You know who are the real bullies…the nice kids that no one would ever suspect of being a bully. Instead of physical torture, the pain becomes more psychological and/or mental. Since bruises and scars can’t be seen unless there’s a fight, all the pain that the victim(s) goes through is all mental anguish. Most importantly, no one would ever believe the kid being picked on since the “so-called” bully is such a nice guy. For example: a kid being picked on says someone is bullying him…The common teacher/counselor response to that would be “[Jimmy] is such a good kid. He doesn’t seem like the bully-type. You’re crazy…maybe you should go see a shrink.” TRUST ME I KNOW THIS STORY ALL TOO WELL.
For three years from first grade to till 3rd grade, I had to see a shrink. At that time, I didn’t know why. So all I would do during the sessions was play dominoes or “Wheel of Fortune” on a computer. Little did I know I was being observed upon and studied. The problem was that I has these fits of rage that I cannot control of. Since I am a very emotional guy (and since our society tells us to become unemotional robots working for “THE MAN”), I would snap and do some crazy things like scream out loud. The academics never bothered me…but the mental anguish always did. I didn’t know how to respond to adversity so I just let it out. I KNOW WHY THESE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS HAPPEN, BECAUSE THERE’S A ME AGAINST THE WORLD ATTITUDE. This feeling can only lead to trouble. As I stated earlier, another school shooting will be inevitable unless our society changes completely (and I don’t think that’s going to happen within my lifetime. The situation is just going to get worst especially in the society of commercial materialism that we live in).
Having taken a course in psychology in high school and being with several shrinks for years. THEY DON’T HELP AT ALL…A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. Now why?
The only person who got me through the whole ordeal was my mom. Out of everyone I knew, she was the only person who thought I wasn’t crazy.
Instead I have found different outlets to escape from the “real world”…going to many sporting events ,and more recently, meditation. THE REAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF THESE “SHOOTERS” (WHO ARE GOOD KIDS THAT TURN TO EVIL): THEY NEED OTHER HEALTHY OUTLETS SUCH AS ATHLETICS OR CLUBS…INSTEAD OF GOING ON THE INTERNET TO FIND SOMETHING ON HITLER AND A GROUP SUPPORTING THEIR RIGHT TO KILL EVERONE IN-SIGHT (just like in a video game, but that’s not the problem). Parents need to start monitoring their kids more often, or quit their job so that they can find a job that has more flexible hours so that the parents can watch over their kids.
I mean seriously this country glorifies and makes billions of dollars annually on people going nuts. Depression and suicide will keep on going up if other people around you make someone feel unwanted and/or unsafe. Here’s what I notice, if people try to betray you…Instead of stabbing them in the front, most people take the cowardly way out and stab someone in the back when no one is looking.
