Ok i know im going to get flamed for this

HI readers,

sorry i have been away for a while, that's because i could not think of anything to post no, real worthy rants were coming to me. So i turned to the dark side, i looked into the rants that people shouldn't rant about, and guess what i found one.

My question to you is how is society on a whole?
Does it provide for you? Yeah i get by.
Let you be you? Maybe.
Is it a good system that is fair? .....

My answer to all of those is no, society doesn't provide for you, this is because everyone is just barely keeping their heads above the waters of bills and taxes. Now this isn't only in Australia no, I'm talking on a scale that incorporates the entire world. society doesn't let you be you, if your different your cast out of the tribe. You dress in black your instantly targeted as an emo or a goth, you dye your hair and bam your unemployable, get a piercing and your a rebel. Society has all these different little groups and these groups are all separate by a view shared by a majority of people.

My say on this is that today's society is just plain bad, the rich flourish and swim in basically pools of money. Then we have the well off, who have money but one false move and kaboom there goes their business and down with the majority who are trying to make ends meet at Christmas. Then there's the poor who struggle to make ends meet every week and have 2-3 full time jobs. Then there's the poor who don't have homes and are frowned upon by society. Well I'm one to say no more.

Every one knows that Africa is a 3rd world country, what we don't generally know or care about is that Africa is trying to up the anti and grow both economically and socially. Well pretty much the rest of the modern world said screw that we need the resources for our further expansion. Yes that's right, recently i read a news article stating that the modern world was stopping Africa's progress because there wasn't enough resources, not enough resources. Bull. In 2008 the world military expenditure was $1.464 trillion, On the military alone, come on that's a heap of money. Now if we do the maths ( I wouldn't trust these figures) this roughly equals out to about $236 per person in the world. So say we cut this by say $16 per person, which does sound reasonable, this would give Africa $96 billion (if i did my maths right)

According to world vision Australia it would cost around $431 to get 2 goats, a public toilet, 4 sets of pencils for school, 5 chickens, 4 child immunisations, and 4 blankets. Now i cant do the maths right now but if we work it out that 96 billion dollars can by a heap of stuff for Africa so i do not think that the world is really out of resources otherwise the stock markets would be soaring as everyone tried to get the last pieces of what evers left, new innovated technology would be researched faster and things wouldn't be as Cruise as they are now.

Now back to our society, we are so content on helping people in other country's that we fail to see our own, every city in Australia have homeless people. People who struggle to survive an average day, its these people who are condemned by society, because they didn't make it. But i ask why? Why do we condom them? Why do so many people just not care?

My solution to this is simple a world wide disater, now i know what your thinking, that's terrible millions would die, life as we know it would collapse in on itself and there wouldn't be any order to society. And i say I don't want the millions of deaths but what i say to the collapse of society, brilliant. It would truly be the first time where it would matter to be different, to make actual bonds with people not petty friends over facebook or twitter. But rather lifelong bonds with people whom of which you would put your life in their hands, and to form actual communities, Not only to survive the physical but the mental pain of such an event. The Government would be gone, Trading would be established in a fair way in which if you wanted something it would only be yours by trading it with something the person wants. Our society would have a complete turn over and would accept people for their strengths, weaknesses and actions not for their clothes or how popular they were before hand. It will only be after a brush with absolute disaster that we all see how beautiful the world is. And sure we would re-build and why shouldn't we, but we would re-build in a new and better way. Kind of what I'm saying is a Noah's ark but with less death and rain.

Now i am not wishing this upon the world at all for it would be truly disastrous in the beginning, but however it would be the easiest and fastest way to reset society and clean the slate.

Please leave a comment with your idea on how society is treating you and what you think of this idea.

Until next time

Quantum Mechanics

OK so i came across something a while back on the subject of quantum mechanics. Now this post isn't one like the others, where I'm full of opinion and want to rant away to you people that read this. Its just that i found this to be really interesting and cold leave you thinking which is my aim in this blog for you to go away thinking about what i have said/written. So here it is;

If you have a box and inside this box is a cat and a poisonous fish. and you close this box there are two main outcomes. The first being that when you open he box you find at the cat has eaten he fish and has died, Or secondly when you open the box the cat has not eaten the fish and lives.
Now this is the interesting part according to quantum mechanics both these situations have happened inside the box, the cat is both alive and dead at the same time, it is up to the observer to decide the outcome when they open the box.

See this got me thinking, does this happen on a day to day basis on a subconscious level, gambling for example enough people want a certain number it pops up, is everything really chance or is it the decision of the observer? you buy lotto but you never really believe that you are going to win, you always think its going to be someone else on a subconscious level. So if enough people truly believe that something is going to happen because that is their choice of observation, will it happen?
Is life just really a voting system, where 30% of people think that something will turn out one way and 70% think that it will be another will the situation go to the majority?

Now really at its basis this is all theory and guess work but it made me think,

What would you see when you open the box?


Until next time.

People don't care

What i have noticed lately is the decline in manners, and respect for others.

When i was at school we were always taught to say please and thank you and excuse me if you needed to walk between people. But what i have noticed lately is that people don't care if they offend others or just plain ignore that their there.

A couple of weeks ago i saw two kids fighting on their camp they were around the age of 10. They were in a full on brawl with biting and hitting below they belt, so being the caring person that i am i broke up the fight, to which both kids turned around and yelled at me, calling me a f**ktard and a d**khead then turned to hit me before their teacher walked in to which they just stared me down and walked out of the building. So i ask what the hell is happening to our youth? am i the only one who is seeing an increase in violence in the youth of our society. And we can't blame it on movies and games because those movies and games are rated so that they are not exposed to this content.

I have known of children who hit their parents if they don't get their way, the parents then instead of giving a punishment for such behaviour instead give the child the thing of which the seek. This is wrong, when training a dog to you give it its treat if it attacks you when you say sit?

And it isn't only children older generations are also at the point of being the only people on the planet. Being a waiter i am exposed to many many people. Some are quite kind and pleasant, but most are arrogant and rude, i saw hello they ignore me. The walk in say hi how are you? then give their order half way me saying hello back. People honestly couldn't give a crap of other opinions or worries. It's mostly white noise.

Am i the only one seeing this increase of violence and just plain arrogance? The trend of not caring? And honestly i blame the parents, The worst kids in school will have the parents that either are in denial or don't care, this kid is then seen as the cool kid because he rebels against the man and others follow suit, teachers then give up and the youth grows up with the views that were supplied to them, act good only around your parents, anywhere else its your world to rule.

As i said we cant blame things that are not available to such young ones like video games of ratings above m and movies of same suit. You could blame television but again it is the domain of the parental figure to make sure that such exposure is suitable for their age.

Our society is going down a hole, little bits are falling apart, which in turn is causing larger pieces to slowly decline and follow suit. This is my concern and i cant be the only one who sees this. It is obvious that society is failing and though I am not saying everyone is in the same boat, this boat is slowly getting bigger every day.

vegetarian or not vegetarian, there is no middle ground.

The most recent discussion i had outside of this wonderful world of the internet is that vegetarians won't eat fish. It is to my knowledge that to be a vegitarian you cannott eat meat, period.

So therefore if you say I'm a vegitarian, but i eat chicken, but that dosn't really matter. White meat isn't real meat. Uhh.. Last time i looked chickens were animals, unless their like pluto and got kicked from the list.

So saying im a vegitarian, but i eat white meat is kind of like saying, Im a vegitarian but i eat pork. So lets face it your not a vegitarian you just don't like the taste of red meat. Your no more vegitarian than a gorrilla. You prefer vegitation, but your fine with eating small easy to catch animals, like chicken or fish.

So stop saying your vegitarian, the only thing your accomplishing is annoying real vegitarians and confusing small children. Say you dont like red and get over it.

Your not vegitarian, end of story.

The English language is dying.

In a recent study the thee hardest languages to learn are:
1) Japanese
2) Australian
3) English

Yes that's right children we have harassed our original language to the point where it can be counted as a completely different one. Australian is the second hardest language in the world, Only to be beaten by Japanese who has three different dialects. Go into any school and listen to the words produced by the youth of our fine country. The most used word would be 'like' this is because it is like totally awesome like yeah and like he was like. I actually did hear this sentence used within the walls of a grammar school, whats wrong with us? A person can use the word like 15 times in a 30 word sentence and we can still understand what they are saying. It has gotten to the point where Americans cannot understand what we are saying. If you say ' oh there's heaps of food' they will look at you strangely and with a quizzical look upon their faces.

Not to long ago a word was introduced into the dictionary, it was bouncebackability, it is used to explain how someone can come back from a hard situation. We already have a word for this, this word is 'resilience' So i ask you what the hell?

People are now talking like tigger from Winnie the pooh with ttfn and TGIF used in actual sentences. Saying lol after actually laughing, ROFL when your not rolling on the floor or even laughing. Do we honestly not care how we sound that we just say what we want and explain what we really mean as if the other person is stupid?

We have gotten to the point where words are melding together because we can't be bothered saying both, eg. Awesational, it's where something is both awesome and sensational at the same time. Look it up on the urban dictionary it actually exists and is used by people in everyday life.

I actually can't believe that people can be so easily influenced that quick typing shortcuts are now used in actual speech. Some slang used now days makes you stop what your doing and go what the hell did they just say. Sometimes where worse than comedic British people in parody movies. We speak jargon and it is in our society encouraged.

For the last couple of years a television host show called roller coaster actually encouraged children of all ages to write in with their own quirky jargon comments or phrases to be spoken upon the show. But that's not all the host would then go on to use all of the words sent in by these children in a sentence. Children all over Australia watch this show to be educated and to be entertained.

So please i encourage people to expand their vocabulary instead of making up pointless words to change it. Value our language, stop using short cuts actual speech, laugh for real and say what you mean not what you want.

until next time

Just a thought

imagine if our whole world was created today just then in your mind, all of your memories are fake and tomorrow is subconciously up to you, well then tommorrow would be just like anyother day wouldnt it cause that is what your subconcious percieves as normal , and at this given moment your still asleep on your first night in the ouside world ?
just before you die in this world you wake up in a new unviserse to start anew, but this time will you have your memories burried deep in your subconcious making a so called instinct for you new body and so on and so on until we hit a point in infinty where everything explodes and resets. there i just explaned the big bang and multiverses its all in your head which is linked to mine and everyone elses, we control what happens next, we control the future with our subconcious, what we observe and what we see are two different things, you may observe rain in the distance but what you see is a rainbow. Now if you preemptively observed an event and firmly believed it to happen and enough people belived it, it would. Our minds control what we do, contiually making choices which in turn interact with other people which change and manipulate their choices which change others choices and so on until it is back to you. The world is one big web where all the concetions are the conections we make in our lives, now what would happen if we decided to jump string, to control what we observe what someone esle is doing even tho they make a different choice, would that change the out come of the future a singular step in someones life could stop them from running into someone, wich inturn would stop that person who then would go on an change someone elses day and so on until it come back to you. Kind of like a world size game of chinese whispers.

consumerism is a religion

We as people have taken onboard a new religion without realising. Being a consumer can be easily turned into a religion. This is for several reasons,It was created to please the people, feed the people and most of all lead the people on, give them hope. The people of modern day society hope for sales, to save their money only to feel less guilty to spend a fortune on some useless stuff, almost as if they pray to their gods and then buy something in order to fund their gods for the next sale and so on in a vicious cycle until either one dies and is replaced anew. A religion is started once it has acummilated 1,000,000 follower, about every person in the world can claim that they are a consumer. So we as consumers pretty much bow our heads to the people who control the prices and we bend to their will, we build monumental structures for them, we memorise the songs and cliche'. We worship them and that is all, i am not saying there is anything wrong with it but it is true. Without consumerism our way of life would fail, the very foundations of our finacial system would crumble and in a heartbeat we would be screwed. so enjoy being a consumer, go for the sales, live life, by petty objects that are meaningless and give them a reason

until next time children that is all

why do we try to achieve status?

Our society is, when you think about it, hindering our progress as a species. We are forced to schooling that hasn't changed since its begging. Where we sit in a class where we are given facts. We then get tested on those facts and we are then given a grade and sent on to further schooling. Where we go through the same process. It isnt until we have left school where a good deal of education happens, we are encouraged to learn and think for ourselves to find new and creative ways to do those things faster, better and cleaner. why dont we do this in school, give a range of lessons like this. Let students enjoy and dictate their own schooling to further their education to make new discoveries instead of just memorise facts to be graded on how many facts they memorised. why not grade them on their solutions to problems, their ideas and their motivation towards certain feilds???

So why do we try to acheive anything?... a rant

Everything we do today won't really have an impact on us tommorrow or the next day or the day after that. All the really useful things have already been invented. All the things being made these days are going to be replaced in the next year so why not save yourself some money and by the newer modle in a months time. For example why by an iphone when you can by and ipod a phone and a camera for half the price of one. Why do we try our hardest to get through school when all thats waiting for us on the other side is pain and agony of bills, transportation, more schooling, responsibilities, more bills, debt and hard work. Life was so much simpler in school. It was a simple go learn, leave ratio. Sometimes you didnt learn there and sometimes we learnt at home. But i'm going of topic now. Whats the point of making zillions of dollars. People are still going poor. Whats the point of making a vaccine for the common cold by the time we find and process the strain of the virus, analyse it, make a working vaccine, test it, re-make it, test it again, make enough for a population who can afford it( which lets face it arn't really the ones that need it) the virus has mutated to try and beat our own immune system so heres an idea how about all you scientists out there instead of making a vaccine or a cure how about making our immune systems stonger and smarter. Why make a name for yourself in a company in 20 years theres a 90% percent chance that after you retire (from work or life) the company will be brought by another company who only use the name as a marketing ploy. Example vegimite< Kraft < american company, Vegimite< made firstly in england. So yeh started off in england we then stole it and america some how owns it. And hey even if you do make something useful like hey the lightbulb by thomas eddison or that other guy whoever you belive made it. What do we think of it now? we hate it thats what. Its all fluroresent this and fluro green bulb that. ok so yeh im out of steam.

Until next time i will continue not to use spell check because i think you find it humorous finding all my typos and bad gramma. But yes until next time....


ps dont take what ever i say in rants by face value i am not saying give up on life i am more saying live each day for what it is worth because in the end the result of your life dosnt matter to anything really but yourself. If you had fun who gives a toss what others think.

pps vaccine makers keep making vaccines because some people do need them. eg small children and the elderly. Adults should be able to take care of themselves and hey teenagers are invincible so yeah...

The ice caps are NOT causing rising seas

Global warming for one is not bullshit, it is real but the facts around it are bull. For one the polar caps melting are not causing the rising seas, the melting ice should technically lower the sea level not raise them. Ice has a larger mass of water. Okay so now your thinking if its not the ice melting what is causing the increasing tide well children there are several reasons the main one being the increasing temperature of the sea is cause slight expansion. But seeing as all of the water is expanding the overall effect is pretty huge seeing the sea is pretty huge. Another reason to the expanding seas would be the humongous amounts of pollution we are dumping into the sea. This added mass increases the sea level as well. So there we are the 'fact' that the sea levels are rising from the melting polar caps is just plain wrong and anyone who truly believes it as it is is wrong and should perish for their wrongness.

Why? My rant at society

Why is the world so screwed?
Is it because our forefathers didn't think of the consequences or because the didn't give a crap about what was going to happen. They where too busy living in their world that they didn't think that researching new ways of transport other than the car. The electric car for example is not a new idea, it was invented and put on the market it sold extremely well and this was before hybrids came out, before the oil crisis, before the global warming scare (more on that later). The reason that this electric car cannot be found anymore is pretty much because the oil companies brought all of them via a government warrant and destroyed them and all records on how to build them. A year later the oil crisis was announced to the world and not long after that the hybrid car, which by the way was endorsed by the oil companies, came onto the market as the newest technology on the market for green energy. Well for one thing they are not entirely green, to make the lithium batteries to power the car is a pollutant in its own right let alone the charging of it and then on top of it all you still have to fill up on good old petroleum. Now i can be accused here of being a conspririost but come on the coincidences are just too perfect, my guess is that there is no overly bad oil crisis, but if there is we are, as a society today, officially screwed over by everyone in the past who didn't give a crap. Look around your room or office or what ever.. Okay now pretty much everything you laid your eyes on. Oil had a part in making, whether it being the actual raw material or it was used in the shipping. If we run out of oil we are screwed for at least a couple hundred thousand years or enough time for everything to decompose, be compacted and eventually turn into black gold once again. I for one do not think there is an oil scare per say. I believe that if there was we wouldn't only be looking into alternatives for cars but for everything else petroleum plays a part in making. I believe that the oil scare was not a marketing ploy for oil companies to just get more money but also by governments to ensure people try to save some, to get the by-product of protecting the green house.

I shall continue this rant in my next post, it shall be about the green house and societies effect on it
