Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.

[DISCLAIMER!]
I'm sure I've done a rant about kids not being politically informed, but I'm going to do one again........ Deal with it!




I find it ridiculously illogical for kids these days to vote for a certain political party due to one thing they've heard that the party supports, or simply because they hear other people saying good things about a certain party.

It thoroughly pisses me off that countless amounts of votes from youth are going to waste.

Many of which go to waste because these kids vote for the green party, because they want marijuana to be legalized.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the legalization of marijuana, but that doesn't mean I'm going to vote for a party solely because they're going to try to get pot legalized.
(I don't even smoke pot by the way)


Why is it so hard for kids these days to do research into parties that will actually do something good.

I often hear kids complaining about how their town is so shitty, boring, etc.
Yet they go and throw away votes on a political party that will do absolutely NOTHING to change that, if they get into office.


But that is my rant.
I may add more to this later.
Enjoy.

What is intelligence, by definition?

To answer that question (the title of this rant) I shall provide you with a logical statement.

There are probably as many definitions of 'intelligence' as there are experts who study it.


Simply put, however, intelligence is the ability to learn from, learn about, understand and interact with one's environment.


Thusly, why do people define others intelligence by their level of education.
Or better yet, why do people let their level of education define their intelligence?


Because you didn't pass a grade means you weren't smart enough to actually DO the work?
I think not!
In any grade I've been in, I've understood the work (for the most part) but any time I've failed, it was simply because I didn't do the work.

That does not show a lack of intelligence, it shows a lack of work ethic.

I've heard countless stories (thus meaning I have no say in whether they're true or not) about the boss of a huge corporation, being far less knowledgeable than his/her employees, yet making double or more, that persons salary.

All because they have a higher education?

I refuse to let anyone define my knowledge and intelligence by my level of education.



That's my rant. Enjoy.

Does it really make a difference?

Ok, so there is a group on failbook called 'I heard that song before anyone else'
Or something along those lines.


The title in and of itself is arguable.
It is technically not possible to hear a song before anyone else
unless you bought the very first record, straight out of the recording studio.
And even then everyone in the recording studio has heard it, thus preventing you from being the very first person.

Second of all, what fucking difference does it make, honestly?
No one is going to say "oh you heard that song first, I'm sorry, I'll stop listening to it, because you fucking own it" or some shit like that.

I know I've done a rant about music before, but I had to rant about it again.

Why the fuck do people put so much effort into proving they heard a song/band first, or know more about music or genres than someone else.

What fucking difference does it make!?
I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand times.
Music is made to be enjoyed, don't fucking turn it into a competition!


That's my rant. Enjoy.

You're such a slut!

So the other day, I heard someone say "boys talk to girls to sleep with them. girls sleep with boys to talk to them"
This got me thinking.
How fucking ignorant and stereotypical are some girls these days?

Like honestly, some girls think they know everything about what guys want.... conversely, they think guys only want one thing.

Don't get me wrong, there is a good portion of guys that only want sex, which gives guys that aren't like that, a bad name.
So I can't be mad at just girls who make that statement.

However, I still can't get over how ridiculous some girls are.

Another thing, is girls who are like "why is it that guys can sleep with a bunch of girls and they get props, but if a girl sleeps with a couple guys, they're called sluts" That is true in a sense.
However, If any girl gets wind of a guy sleeping with a bunch of girls, that girl will talk to any girl who starts dating that guy, and essentially ruin that relationship, merely to save her friend.
Whether that guy has changed his ways or not, girls will talk.
Which is fine, it helps weed out the 'good' guys.

But I can't stand it when girls think it's sexist that that's how things are, when in reality, technically speaking, it's not like that at all.


that's my rant. enjoy.

I'm an amazing singer........ so long as I use auto-tune.

Have you ever noticed how overused auto-tune is?

And what pisses me off is the fact that bands/"artists" that use auto-tune, typically sell more records than bands/artists that can actually sing.

Now I may be the only one, but I would respect someone FAR more if they take the time to write lyrics and music, and then put in the effort to play the instrument, and then sing the song, and create an amazing piece of music, rather than hopping on a computer, making beats (often times just audio loops) that are already on a music program, and then use auto-tune to make their voices sound like a fucking robot.

Don't get me wrong, artists (rappers) who use auto-tune, do have to write lyrics (unless they do covers)
but at the same time... it's a lot easier to write songs about guns, and how much of a hardcore gangster you are, as opposed to writing lyrics about something meaningful.


And no, the part about the rappers was not meant to be stereotypical, although I am aware that it sounded so.
