Way out in the Middle of Nowhere

Today's Meme is more about the ability of some people to purposely stay stupid. I just came across a report where someone claims that Huggies wipes has glass in it. All I can think about at this time is how FUCKING STUPID people have become. I mean, REALLY! Think about this for a second.. no I mean it: THINK ABOUT THIS! 1. WHY would Huggies have glass in their wipes?  What benefit would that be to the wipe itself? NONE. 2. Does everyone instinctively think that everyone else is trying to harm them with a product? Yeah...I got over that when I was 8. I used to think my parents were poisoning me with those dark krispies in the Rice Krispy box.   Much as it is your wettest dream to think that corporations are just out to harm as many people as possible, let me reassure you that IT JUST IS NOT TRUE. STOP IT!!!    Another time where common sense and about 2 seconds of thought would render that untrue. Companies are out to make a profit, yes? How can they make a p...

A few years ago, Dave and I decided to become chaperones for the Church Youth group. Ok! What did that entail? 1. A background check.  I actually paid for the Church to run a background check on me. Guess what? I came out clean! 2. I was required to attend a 3 hour seminar on how to spot the behaviors of pedophiles so that I could alert the diocese to any unwanted attentions given to the kids during my time as a chaperone. Let me tell you, it was a very enlightening experience. The focus was on a video of 3 men, all were convicted molesters of children. They outlined deed after deed how they got to a point where they could molest kids.  It's called 'grooming.' 3. Betcha you didn't even know the Church did this, did you? You still think they are letting people molest kids all over the place and that's exactly why I am writing this now.  What you *THINK* you know, and what you know, is most likely the result of another kind of insidious grooming. The end resul...

So, Alex and I were watching My Little Pony - Stop laughing, it's actually a decent cartoon.  Well, I must explain: Alex and his Skype friends are 'Bronies' -guys who like My Little Pony.  Hey, he could be doing coke off a dead hookers ass, but instead he's watching a kids' cartoon.  I'm fine with that.  He encouraged me to watch a few episodes to gain an opinion and I did. It's better than I expected.  (BTW, to whomever made the photo: Thanks! It's a cute pic) The episode on Saturday that got me thinking was about Alex's favorite pony, Fluttershy and her wish to become friends with a Chinese Dragon named Discord.  Oh and Discord's voice is the same dude who did Q for the ST: TNG  TV Show.  Discord is a mean dragon, always trying to get an angle off Fluttershy who is trying to be nice to him.  Eventually Discord pulls one too many BS moves and Fluttershy gets ticked.  Anyone who knows the show knows, Fluttershy doesn't get ticked of...
