Arrrgghhhhh! Warning. I'm in a ranty mood tonight.

I do worry for the future of children/life at the moment. Earlier this week there was a story about cartwheels being banned at school (Link) and now today there is a report about one of our Olympic stars wrote in her blog that she wants to get it on with the Spanish hockey team (Link).

I think it is sad that I look back with fondness of all the stupid things we did at school that were so much fun. I remember games like brandy and monkeybar chasey that would definately be banned these days (or at least requiring a foot thick crash mat under the monkeybars in case they came off). And thanks to all the parents complaining that their precious little crotchfruit can't keep up with what is being taught, the smart ones are being dragged back so when they come up against me for a job in the future I am going to be so far ahead of them (well that and being able to write in full sentences not filled with that retarded texting language - yes, you can type words with four letters in only two letters but as you are paying for 160 characters per text message, who cares??).

As for someone getting in trouble for saying that in a blog - who cares!! Good for her, if she wants to be deep dicked by the entire Spanish hockey team then more power to her! Hell, if we are putting in orders, can I please have Scarlet Johannson washed and delivered to my room? Thanks I hate this PC rubbish.

I wonder if they still call the last stream of maths at high school veggie maths? Or have they come up with a new name for it? Words from my past that I miss in everyday life:
Gay
Retarded
Spaz
Daigo
Many other racist but done affectionately terms
Things from my past that I miss in everyday life:
Smacking kids (a quick whack across the arse, not the beating the living snot out of them type!)
Telling your kid "no"
Dangerous toys (thanks to the Chinese for trying to fix this recently though! )

Words can have more than one meaning people. When I started using the word gay, I don't think I even knew that it was also associated with homosexual men (seeing they aren't very common in country towns due to the rampant homophobia in them). In Stevenese it meant something stupid, not that it was a homosexual something (later, I discovered the correct term was "homo" for that case!). Those words only have the effect people lend to them. If you are offended by any of these words then learn to just laugh at it instead - it will take the attack out of the word for that person (if they mean it as an attack) or it just means that the person has another meaning for it that you may not actually know (so ask them before getting your panties in a bunch). I have been called gay (I'm not sure why I get this one the most, I would have thought fat would have been the more obvious one) more times than I care to remember but I have learnt that by laughing at these people instead of getting upset, it tends to annoy them as they can't get the reaction they are hoping for (for even more fun, put on a fake lisp at this point and make a pass at them then watch them freak out )

Ahhh, that feels better!

Later,
Steve

PS. This website has been banned at GSJBW - I'm doing something right

PPS. The website should be running much better now. I found there was a setting that I hadn't changed when I migrated it to .Net 2 that was making it run very unpredicably. Seems to be better now though
