(FOUR) BAKE SALES
I understand the concept. People like cheap baked goods and causes need money so the causes sell cheap baked goods. I get all of that. I just don’t get why this thing keeps going. We’re all slowly understanding that junk food is bad for us. Why would a cause like a school, a church, or community want to sell us something unhealthy? There are better ways to raise money. Why drop a few bucks on a half dozen nasty cupcakes when other causes are selling factory made candy bars, candles, and things that are better made and of better value. I think this is a perfect time for Bake Sales to be outlawed.
(THREE) SKYDIVING HELMETS
I’m sure there are plenty of stories where people would have died skydiving if they didn’t wear a helmet. That doesn’t change this. Skydiving helmets are a waste. If someone wants to jump out of an airplane for a thrill then they don’t deserve to have their head protected because what’s inside of it is probably not all that worthy of maintaining. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be able to do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, but why waste the time with head gear?
(TWO) ARNOLD SCHWARTZENEGGER’S CURRENT APPEAL
Arnold was in some of the best action movies and action comedies of all time. His very presence was a cool part of my childhood and I’ll still swear on a stack of blessed Maxims that Terminator 2 is the best action movie of all time. This all said, why the hell do people still find him appealing? His last few movie roles weren’t anywhere close to the caliber he was known for. With his political controversies, his sex child scandal stuff, and his face looking more leathery and fake every time I see him there just isn’t enough to care. He’s becoming the “Hulk Hogan” of action movies. The biggest and best for a good stretch of time. I just don’t think Arnold will “be back” from all of this.
(ONE) MEXICO’S DIRTY WATER
We’re well into this millennium at this point. Things like this shouldn’t be a factor anymore, but sadly it still is. For years you’d hear jokes and horror stories about people going to Mexico, drinking the water, and then before you know it you’re on a toilet praying for the hell to end. The term is “Montezuma’s Revenge”. How incredibly hard would it be for Mexico to provide it’s country and people with clean drinking water? Am I missing something here? C’mon Mexico! Clean your water!
