random bitchings of america
I talked crap @ 6:57 p.m. on 10.06.03
what is the point of PE? the measure at the beginning measure u at the end, and tell you you improved or not. if u did they give u a shiny piece of paper. perhaps at most 1 in 100 kids who plays something in pe will take it up in real life, probably more like 1 in a few 1000. i have never seen a person who was fat before pe lose more that 3 pounds an entire year, if theyre fat at the begining, theyre fat in the middle and fat at the end. then they have the nerve to think they they can grade us on out tolerance of generaly shitty teachers, who are prejudiced, mean and utterly condescending. ok kids, stand up to 3 years of essentialy pointless classes teaching you about the same things theyve tought us since 1st grade (except now we cant play dodge ball, the only fun thing about pe) and, only then, can you graduate. just for effect, let me recount all the physical activity ive done in the last 3 (yes, 3)classes. run a total of 1/2 mile, filled out forms, (so its easier for them to tell if we try or not) and, last but not least, sat. thats all no joke. another thing that pisses me off; channel one. i guess for the average american teenager who doesnt know the difference between germany and afghanistan, and couldnt find iraq on a map it is perfect (altho anyone that dumb doesnt really care about learning anyway, so the point is moot) the show is directed tword 6th graders, we would be much better off, at least then the smarter ppl would learn something (mayb...prolly not, who cares) tho i guess it is a good way to waste half an hour of would be school time a day (we should use it for lunch) my final bitching thonite (my mom will make me get off, since im still grounded...im always grounded) concerns ellections. and, a common topic of my bitchings, bush. bush is horribly lucky. so far in his term he has: turned a huge surplus into the largest deficit in history, started war in iraq on the promise of WMD, but STILL cant find any at all, has failed to use the most sophisticated intelligence gathering system in the world to catch either BIN laden OR hussein, both of which are probably just sitting in a cave. he has also gone to the UN for help, while at no point even comming close to admitting that he screwed up (in a newsweek cartoon, he is standing b4 the un, saying i need help cleaning up the successes ive made...go figure). bush has done all this, and yet been pusnished very little. imagine for a moment what reporters and republicans might have done to clinton, had he done even one of these things. as much as i like clinton and the dems, he set the bar low. people are happy as long as the president isnt having sex in the oval office. the last election also put forth something, and thats that bush is none too bright.. infact hes quite stupid. graduating from yale, he is the only one ever to have spoken there and bragged about his bad grades. bush, simply put is a pinata...bright and happy on the outside, but utterly empty. someone once described a test for admission to a prestigious high school, into which students are accepted based on only one test. on the test you dont give your name or address or race or gender, only an id number, and your answers, right or wrong. perhaps presidential candidates should be handled in the same way. a long paper, with a list of questions; minimum wage, free trade, tax policies, the supreme court, etc. then people would spend less time talking about the candidates need for plastic surgery, or how his wife is a liability, and more time talking about what really matters.
