This is Education

     School resumed this week and stupidity has been popping up everywhere like a horrible game of whack-a-mole. Each day I would spot something that made me think "How the..wha-..." before I just walked away.

The first being from my American History book (American Pageant 12th edition).

Indians:1 Europeans:0

     This is pretty much how the whole book is written. The author tells the facts with very colorful language, and at the end of each section he gives a little snippet of what he thinks. To me, this says "If you're angry and have a STD, go and penetrate someone! That will show them not to mess with you!"

Through the week it was as if all the books had something wrong with them. I saw awkward sentence structure, misspellings, and some very creepy findings. The winner of all of them? This:

     Can you find it? Hint: It's the nine words that have been combined to make one super word! I find it fascinating that the editors missed this. Like, how can you miss this?

And now for the grand finale of dumbest thing yet...*Drum Roll!!!*

This is why my school's drop out rate was high.

Hey! Class of 2013! Why Y.O.S.O stupid?

Venn Diagrams

     Election time is just around the corner and America will soon have to choose between an Obama rama filled country or a new guy, Mitt Romney. At this point, the two candidates are pretty close and both are throwing out commercials and what not to take you into their dark side. Just the other day Romney's campaign posse took out this:

     Now, as we all know, Venn diagrams are a type of chart comparing two or more things (depending on the number of circles). The place where the circles meet indicate a common ground between the sets in which are being compared.

The chart above is doing none of that. Obviously, our fellow candidate needs help, so I made a Venn diagram for him.

     I hope America understands what type of choice they have to make this November. The people that are voting this year should know who they are voting for. Also, understand that change isn't going to happen overnight, nor is it going to happen in a year. It's actually going to take multiple presidential terms to help our economy grow again. Our country needs consistency, so unless we want to look like our European friends, we need a single plan that will work for the years to come. We need people that will fix the current plan instead of throwing it all away and starting all over. So let's start now, because frankly, I'm tired of all the nagging.

The Olympics

     We're in the middle of the 2012 London Olympics and so far Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympian to exist, USA won gold in gymnastics, I have questioned my geography skills, and North Korea has been told that they have won all of the events that have already been played. All in all, I seem to have mixed feelings about this year's games, so I have compiled two small lists...

Here are three things that made me cry in tears of sadness due to its inability to entertain me:


     1. Opening ceremonies: I'm sorry, but what in the world was that supposed to be? Does London really want to be remembered as the city that had ADHD kids and a blowup Voldemort? Unless there is another summer Olympics being held in China soon, I don't think you can beat Beijing's opening. Sorry.

Showing off his B-E-A-Utiful nails!

     2. Commentary: Specifically, during the opening ceremonies. Everyone is saying this and I'm going to too! Shut up Matt Lauer! I don't want to know your opinion about the lighting nor do I want commentary about something that I'm obviously looking at.
   

     3. Sports that no one cares about: My apologies to water polo, badminton, and equestrian. No one really watches you guys. Even the commentators don't have much to say about you.

And here are three things that are worth my five hours of watching:

     1. Table Tennis: Yep! That game you play at your friends house, but end up running for the ball more than playing is probably the most fun to watch. It's even better when you have your friendly neighborhood Asians dominating the game.
Here is a link to olympic.org:  http://www.olympic.org/table-tennis

     2. The Independent Olympic Athletes: These are people who are competing in the Olympics, but don't belong to a country. The awesome thing about being part of this group is when you win, you are the only winner. No one else but you gets the credit for what you have accomplished. It also helps that it looked like they were actually having fun walking in the opening ceremony and weren't just waving to people thinking that they were super important.

Look at them dancing!

     3. The Queen: Enough said.

If you look closely, you can see that she is unimpressed.
