Outrage Over Texas College MLK Day Party - January 25, 2007

Now the NAACP is trying to test people what kind of parties they can have. They even have the college “looking into the issue”
WTF!!! Get over it, remember we live in america and we can party and dress how ever we want. No one has a sense of humor anymore and I’m sorry look at “urban” music, which for the most part promotes drugs,violence, and dis-respect of females. There are not many positive messages in rap music. (Yep I turned this post into a rant on rap music)

Drug Doubles Endurance, Study Says - New York Times

It seems odd that the New York Times would publish something like this. I just sounds a little too out there. But it is something to keep an eye on…..

Politics
by jayb
I think I may start ranting about politics a little more on this site. A new politic site I found a new site tonight, I like the URL, but I’ll have to read it for awhile to see how good the post are. The Site is stoptheaclu.com
I also love Randys Rants and one of his latest hit home. When I was in high school and college I like rap music. Now that I have a career I better understand the world and the important things in life. I now prefer classic rock and country music.
I would also like to know when did it become required to acept everything. Anytime you stand up against anything (example: sexy,volience,gays,drugs,war) your a bad person. I’ll go deeper into this issue later..
post later, footballs on…..

“Will Work For Food”
by jayb
I was going to rant on this article I saw on yahoo news Mom Makes Teen Stand on Street With Sign
But it looks like Randy beat me to it, and this rant is better than anything I could come up with.
Washington Post: Tasha Henderson got tired of her 14-year-old daughter’s poor grades, her chronic lateness to class and her talking back to her teachers, so she decided to teach the girl a lesson. She made Coretha stand at a busy Oklahoma City intersection Nov. 4 with a cardboard sign that read: “I don’t do my homework and I act up in school, so my parents are preparing me for my future. Will work for food.”
Extreme? Certainly. Better than entropy? Absolutely! Props to the Mom for trying something. Oh, and there was another nugget in this article worth calling out…
Donald Wertlieb, a professor of child development at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University, warned that such punishment could do extreme emotional damage. He said rewarding positive behavior is more effective. “The trick is to catch them being good,” he said. “It sounds like this mother has not had a chance to catch her child being good or is so upset over seeing her be bad, that’s where the focus is.”
Extreme emotional damage, my left testicle!
This man needs to be taken outside and flogged with a huge stick of salami. If anything, he’s the reason why some people should attend less of school. The quack gets a degree and people believe this type of crap! Jeez: if the kid was getting C’s and D’s in school and disrupting classes, what is she doing well? Extra curricular activities? Got a job? Best hip hop dancer in her homeroom? hah!
What about other important good things, like keeping off drugs? Staying away from alcohol? Not smoking? While these are good things for teenagers, how are they suppose to take away focus from bad things? Should the child be praised for being clean? Of course! But that does not hand her a pass to do whatever the hell she wants at school.
Especially at school.
And on that topic, if she’s not doing well at school, isn’t that one of the most important problem the child should have? Americans seem to think that going to high school is supposed to be a social party rather than a training session for the world to come. I’m not sure when that happened, but it was definitely in effect when I was in HS; probably started in the wasted 60’s.
Hell, it was the social aspects of HS that made me not want to be there in the first place… I scored many a C and D’s while going through the HS system. Why? First off I didn’t think it important - this was true in my case but not for everyone… I got lucky and was saved in college. Second, I hated being in the building - at all - mostly due to social reasons. Why would I give a rat’s ass about the work going on there? Think of it this way… as an adult, you land a job. You hate nearly everyone you work with. You’re in so much pain that you get ill simply walking to the building, knowing that you have eight hours of what will feel like nails on a blackboard. What do you do? Odds are you’ve already started looking for another job. For the immediate future, you suck it up b/c you need to work, but you can deal with that because you know it’s temporary. As a HS student, there is no option, given the four year sentence: this will make for bad job performance. Parents, students, high schools… they need to keep this in mind. Would make for a better - meaning more effective - schooling system.
Back to the tosser that works at Tufts, though… dude, you’re freakin’ clueless. If there’s a problem in the home that’s what needs the most amount of attention… how does it get fixed otherwise?
Meh.

What a Saturday
by jayb
Pistons riot
ESPN
USATODAY
Ok, first off the fan shouldn’t have threw anything at the players. But even if this was not on a basketball court. Punching someone is not the correct response. None if you play basketball for you job. The fans pay your salary, you have to let the security deal with stupid fans. I was listening to sports reporters blame everyone, sure no one should be let off the hook, but 90 percent of the problem was when the rapping moron Ron Artest.
Artest doesn’t belong in the nba, he doesn’t want to play, he wants to be a R&B artist. Yeah right!
The nba for the most part is rich criminals, people that if they weren’t playing basketball would be selling drugs or some other drain on society.
Basketball isn’t the only sport that has these issues. Football has its share of murders and druggies. Can anyone say Ricky Williams?
College football fight
Even after all the news coverage about the Pistons brawl, the game between South Carolina and Clemson turned into a huge brawl!!! WTF!!!
UofM loses, but should still be smelling roses.
But while OSU gets the bragging rights, Michigan gets the Rose Bowl after No. 17 Iowa routed No. 9 Wisconsin.
Matrix 3
I watched the third matrix movie saturday morning using Charter’s VOD. I don’t get it, can someone explain the end to me?

NFL Players Union is a joke
by jayb
This is a surprising move by Dallas, but I happy to see that they wanted to move away from players that ‘might’ be using drugs. In the 90’s Dallas had all the druggies playing for them.
Reading this article I had to laugh. A spokes man for the Players union stated
“I just heard about this,” Upshaw told the Post for Thursday’s editions. “I won’t comment on a drug case. I will say under our collective bargaining agreement a club cannot conduct its own, independent drug testing and impose its own discipline. They just can’t do it.”
Ok, the league agreed to teams not doing their own drug testing. My question is why? If it is against the rules, why shouldn’t the nfl or a team be allowed to drug test a player anytime?
Carter stunned, denies he used cocaine
OXNARD, Calif. — Quincy Carter became the Cowboys’ starting
quarterback three years ago after veteran Tony Banks was
unexpectedly cut during training camp. His time in Dallas
stunningly ended in a similar way.In a virtually unexplained move Wednesday, Dallas cut the player
who began camp just four days earlier as the No. 1 quarterback.
Carter started every game last season, when the Cowboys won 10
games and made the playoffs in coach Bill Parcells’ first year.“Sometimes… [ESPN.com]

MLK in GR
by jayb
From the department of people just need something to bitch about:
A group in Grand Rapids, wants to change the name of the street to MLK, it went in front of the board and did not pass. So now they are saying they are going to riot like Benton Harbor, MI did last summer.
What does it matter, you look at MLK street in most cities and it has the largest amount of crime and drugs in that town, what a great way to show you respect.
So the lesson today is if you don’t like the outlook of the law, riot, but your a minority so it’s ok. Whatever.
Yet, if a positive thing like God is brought up, it is shunned and turned away. Yep this country is going to hell in a hand basket.
(I have to admit I only saw a small story about this on TV tonight, so I don’t know all the details. But it’s my website and I can fly off the handle and over play anything I want)
Good Night
