I don’t care how smooth or pleasant it sounds when peppering the term “thats a good question” into a conversation, I think it’s an overused and meaningless slogan. The bottom line is, so what if it is a “good question”. What does that mean anyways? It sounds to me like the filibuster coin phrase of all time that allows the person being asked a question to throw the audience off-guard while they conjure up some bullsh*t answer (or no answer at all except the phrase “that’s a good question” + blahblahblah).
Are we all turning into politicians these days? Who do we think we’re fooling? I mean, it’s bad enough that we rip each other off in every other aspect of life…do we need to treat each other like children too? This phrase is ridiculous and I’m sick of it.
Next time someone asks a difficult question that you can’t answer, just be honest and say “I don’t know”.
I’m sick and tired of hearing the phrase “I’m busy”. This empty slogan seems to be emerging as the new catch phrase to give us a sense of importance or meaning in life. But regardless of your religion, culture, or geographic location, I would argue that this statement is meaningless and simply nonsense. You can add this slogan to the rest of the coin phrases we use to go through the motions in life, exaggerate our importance, and talk without saying anything.
Think about it. What does it actually accomplish to share the fact that you are “busy”. Why is this the ultimate response in every day conversation? Will someone explain what this answer has done for anyone. And my problem with it more than anything is that it is a big lie in the first place. We act like we are forced to be so busy when we are the ones choosing to be busy. Not to mention that we use this as an excuse not to do things that are actually more important in life….like staying in touch with people. Too busy? I say go pound sand. When you die, the world will keep turning….How is that for “too busy”.
I don’t mind going through the motions every now and then, but this daily routine that everyone participates in is simply getting ridiculous. When you stop and think about life and what we really are, it is much less than you think. We make up distractions and silly job descriptions to make ourselves seem so important, but in reality we are extremely small and yes, equally insignificant in the big picture. We take our jobs and our status in society so damn seriously and we follow suit with our arrogant behavior each day. Not to say that we should not aim to be above average people with goals, accomplishments, and positive change. And everyone should know that being significant in life is most rewarding when it’s from those who are closest to us.
I suggest that we spend more time on positive changes and real matters in life, instead of all the fluff. We just buy stock in fluff every damn day! There is too much fluff that we participate in. We dumb down everything by making ourselves “busy” and “important”, but we forget that we are just people. Without the houses, clothing, cars, offices, and latest cell phone, you would be just some poor naked sucker. Back to the cave man days. (that was a joke)
But you should never worry about not having a phone, electricity, or god forbid a vehicle….well not unless a disaster or natural phenomenon strikes, then I’m sure you will be ready to change your life and start the campaign to save humanity.
Maybe you can start now by focusing on the true meaning in life. Don’t keep the blind fold on forever.
Over 60 people died today in one of the worst car bombings in Baghdad this year, but many people decided to spend time complaining about the “controversy” over gay marriage being made legal in California. People lost their mothers, fathers, children, and loved ones, and we spend our time whining over differences. Ridiculous and minute differences as we always have. It perhaps is time to focus more on the fire in the kitchen rather than the cracks in the basement.
I urge my brothers and sisters to start waking up and seeing what death, destruction, and real oppression is happening and has happened around this earth. Make some positive changes for once and stop whining about every lifestyle choice your neighbor makes. Agenda, agenda, agenda. We may be slowly losing our minds, but it’s never too late to change.
For individuals like Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Paul Walker, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and the rest of the ridiculous VIP list who claim to be “actors”, my question is this: Are these people serious? Are they joking when they appear in public and wave to audiences while blaring their corny smiles and arrogant walks in their designer uniforms? (don’t call me a hater damnit) But do they whole heartedly believe in their own hype, and as in hook, line, and sinker? Or do they just do it for show? Please tell me it is just for show, please.
And when they are interviewed talking about their latest “film” (translation: terrible and unoriginal remake) that they do simply for the money, which I can’t blame them for, are they actually serious about saying the new project is exciting and the greatest thing ever? Do they actually think these films are quality? Are they serious when comparing these new crap films to the old classics such as The GodFather, Casablanca, StarWars, Citizen Cane, or the several Kubrik (RIP) masterpieces that had surfaced throughout the past decades?
Someone please tell me…ARE THEY BEING SERIOUS? Has Hollywood finally lost its mind for good? These “stars” are more of a joke than any other group of celebrities on the globe, and to add insult to injury, they claim to know what is best for the world. Hell, some of them are even involved with the U.N. (unfortunately that was probably one of the better moves the U.N. has made this century). But I digress; I just want to meet one of these people behind the scenes, with no cameras, no video, and just ask them… ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I won’t mind if they are just pretending. Sometimes I pretend. I know I am nothing…do they realize that deep down they are nothing too?
I’ve enjoyed a site for a while called “Amazing Wartime Facts from WWII” that talks about several unknown or amazing facts from the world war 2 era. I’m not positive as to actual hard evidence found on the claims, but I would say that even the history books have a lot of “fact” that has very little absolute evidence behind it. With that being said, I have taken a few of the amazing facts and put them below for you to read. I suggest you check out their website by clicking here.
The US Army had more ships that the US Navy.
When the US Army landed in North Africa, among the equipment brought ashore were 3 complete Coca Cola bottling plants.
The first German serviceman killed in the war was killed by the Japanese (China, 1937)The first American serviceman killed was killed by the Russians (Finland 1940).
At the time of Pearl Harbor, the top US Navy command was called CINCUS (pronounced “sink us”), the shoulder patch of the US Army’s 45th Infantry division was the Swastika, and Hitler’s private train was named “Amerika”. All three were soon changed for PR purposes.
Most members of the Waffen SS were not German.
The only nation that Germany declared was on was the USA.
Among the first “Germans” captured at Normandy were several Koreans. They had been forced to fight for the Japanese Army until they were captured by the Russians and forced to fight for the Russian Army until they were captured by the Germans and forced to fight for the German Army until they were capture by the US Army.
A number of air crewmen died of farts. (ascending to 20,000 ft. in an un-pressurized aircraft causes intestinal gas to expand 300%!)
