Interesting Stuff #2

First I would like to say sorry that I have not written in a while and appreciate the comments that so many people have left. Packey or Betty, you are awesome, though beware this is a crazy blog. Dookie, to answer your questions; a lot of those women in history probably were hot. I think Joan of Arc was probably so busy stabbing people with swords and chopping them up with battleaxes that she probably did not think of being with men or women sexually. Also Live On Love, you are cool, though I think you should live on Lager.

A few months ago I talked about the interesting stuff I found. Things are still interesting. Pinkplaid is still a ‘chicken’, she goes off on emotional tirades and has her blog set up so she can screen the comments and hide what the world really thinks. So here is a link to her blog and my comment (since I can not post on the blog): www.pinkplaid000.blogspot.com. You are obviously not into free speech. Your blog has a very obvious theme of going off on an emotional tirade about how you hate certain types of protesters and what people ware. You don’t discuss weather it is legal or not, only why you disagree with it. Why you feel everybody should live in the boring miserable world that you write about on your blog. Your “shocked” entry, has one flaw, you don’t include vital factors a journalist would. Just because people are sleeping around does not mean they are cheating, some couples are Swingers, thats a whole culture in the world. Also marriage is just a legal document and a tax benefit. You should really try looking at the world as an intellectual rather then as a crybaby.

Some of us remember Espressofriend, her comment that some people are not motivated and that “there is no excuse for failing a class when there is ASAP” This is a statement that is based on arrogances and generalization rather then realistic reason. I have already discussed the arrogances factor before. A lot of people have different life situations. Also the ASAP tutoring center only covers a few main academic topics: Writing, Math and Science. Even within writing, ASAP has their deficiency. Also this blogger say "you", as if I am having problems passing the class or classes. You can all ask the professors, I am passing and have beyond a C. I am sure Espressofriend will have the same compassion and patents with her future English Students and they'll love her in return. As for ASAP; if you are a Journalism Major, you need to write AP (Associated Press) style. This is a news writing style that is used by millions and has very strict and different formatting rules. I came to ASAP once and asked for help in that area, the tutor made some wrong corrections then mildly argued with me before saying, “this is not APA format at all.” APA stands for American Psychological Association. The tutor had never heard of Associated Press Style. If anybody is wondering, these entries are written in ALLA style (American Lager Lout Association).

While reading some blogs I see some people have a distorted sense of morality in perspective to the needs of society as a whole. One blogger argued about the right of two people of the same sex marrying, from a religious standpoint. This particular blogger argued the duties of state law with biblical argumentation. The problem is that we don’t have a national religion, so the arguments are irrelevant. Not only that; having one believes rules (even if covered up by ambiguous language) having legal jurisdiction over society as a whole is contrary to U.S. Bedrock Freedoms. This is evidence why we have legislation around freedom of belief and cops with guns to back it up. If we did not have the aforementioned, the Catholic Church would make laws that everybody has to have communion and take confession.

The issue of free speech is always going to be clouded by the issue of truth and misinformation. There has been misinformation in a lot of blogs, some people have expressed beliefs based on misinformation. One blogger argued against a recent Marijuana decriminalization bill, with very little evidence and what evidence was given were misinterpretations of a situation. Most people that have done Marijuana, and then have gone on to the heavy stuff have drunken alcohol before and Caffeine in coffee before. Marijuana is not the gateway drug. Also America has consistently failed for the last 100 years to produce a study that is accurate and coherent and effectively demonstrates that Marijuana causes significant harm. The biggest evidence of all is that we are behind of the times. There are many countries that have decriminalized Marijuana. These countries are just as safe and effective and healthy as any other country; in a lot of cases more so. I personally would not support the decriminalization of Marijuana. If there was legal Marijuana, less people would drink lager; it would lead to the defamation of the lager lout population.

  1. BRAVO LAGER!!!! great Blog! I love love love the shit talking you present it forced the corners of my mouth to turn upward several times. I am, however, feeling left out of the loop. When do i get the chance to be put in the Lager Lout Hot seat? I will have to wrote something trashing Fountain pens or lager to win that role....keep stirring the pot and being a rabble rouser. FUCK APA style being an HCOM major and a Journalism/creative writing concentration, its either AP or MLA style for me......Keep on truckin!

  2. LOL I think this is my favorite blog yet. Although I am not one for airing people's dirty laundry, I really like how you are willing to lay it all out there.

  3. You are an ignorant asshole who thinks it is clever to botch the English language with your poor grammar and misspellings.

    You want free speech? Okay, here it goes. I think that the things that you say in class make you look like an idiot. Have you ever gotten a positive response from the teacher when you raised your hand? NOPE! And I consider our teacher to be a pretty intelligent guy who can find something "useful" in even the stupidest comments. But not with you. Sorry. When you speak, I cringe.
    Secondly, I think that you just try to bring other people down to make your miserable life seem less pathetic.

    Fuck you. How's that for free speech?

  4. Lager Lout... is that how you like to be referred to...is this your porn name as well?

    You write about what you consider to be other peoples stupidity but forget how your own random comments are a mirror to your own arrogance.

    There ya go...write about that...make your right hand best friends with it...or whatever else you have to do to get by while you are home alone.

  5. P.s

    no need to say sorry about not writing in awhile...our lives do not depend on whether you throw up more garbage that you consider to be "interesting stuff" or not.

  6. I never said anything about ASAP.

    As for blogging in AP style? Blogging is blogging. I write in AP style for the paper...maybe you should pick one up once in a while.

  7. Just to throw my two cents in, what you said about AP...as a journalism major, I've only ever used AP in writing articles for the paper...for essays, I've always used APA. Interesting that profs are making you use it elsewhere...

    Also, just FYI, ASAP does have languages, although they tend to be more by appointment.

    Also, as for Espesso using "you" (sorry, to me, this was the most interesting section, which is why I'm only focusing on it), I'm fairly certain "you" was used as a sweeping generalization. More like "you, the people" rather than "you, Lager."

    But again, just my two cents.
