SIX THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF!
- Companies who ask applicants for their Facebook passwords. Really? So… Years ago prior to FB you were driving by my house to check out my yard? I don’t think so. Stop snooping into my private life.
- The endless attacks on women’s reproductive rights by well, everyone, but specifically the Republican Party. I have an idea, why don’t you campaign about really important issues like, oh I don’t know, low employment, high gas prices or the economy? Or all of those endless wars?!? My vagina and I hate you right now and we won’t be voting for any of you.
- Pet Overpopulation and Euthanasia. Three to four million animals a year are euthanized in shelters. Many of those pets were once loved owner-relinquishments or the result of an unaltered pet who (oh my God, who knew THAT would happen) got pregnant. Spay and neuter people. Spay and neuter. Oh, and while I’m on the subject – STOP giving up your pets because SOMETHING came up! You made a commitment, stick to it.
- And while I’m on the subject, Bully Dog Discrimination. I can’t pinpoint the exact date but sometime in the past 10 years, Pit Bulls and other “Bully” dogs and mixes have been targeted for extinction. PETA (don’t get me started on them) actually supports legislation and thinks that the best way to “protect” the breed is to get rid of all of them. Local and state jurisdictions are enacting laws that require euthanization of all Pit Bull and Pit Bull mixes to enter shelters. Since so many animals are misclassified, this effects all “Bully” breeds. Aggression tests show, Daschunds to be the most aggressive. Pit Bulls not only rank much further down the list, they make AWESOME pets.
- The Gay Marriage (or more specifically, that lack of support for gay marriage) Battle. Simply said, Gay Marriage is NOT a political issue. I don’t want my tax dollars going to fund ANY politician who is spending time debating this issue. Why don’t you spend time fixing important POLITICAL/GOVERNMENT issues (See #3) and leave the gays alone? People should have the CHOICE to marry which ever consenting adult they wish. It is none of your business. If you do not want to marry someone of the same sex, don’t. But for the love of all that is holy, please spend your time fixing that which needs to be fixed and that does not include the gays (or my uterus.)
- Media attention paid to celebrities. There are real issues going on in the world (some mentioned above) yet the media insists on focusing on celebrities – marriages and their subsequent divorces, births, mental break-downs and arrests. I am personally embarrassed that I know so much about the Kardashians as I don’t even try! I don’t watch their show or follow their tweets yet somehow I know everything about them. That is relatively disturbing to me. I’m going to have to fashion a tin-foil hat that blacks out all information “celebrity”. Come one media – don’t tell me there isn’t any REAL news out there!
So what’s pissing you off?
