1 Thing Life Failed To Teach You
I love these self help articles that have become such a craze. Twenty ways to spice up your sex life, 10 things you wish you knew yesterday, 15 things not to say to your girlfriend and so on. In fact they are such a hit, that you can’t have a successful blog without at least one blog post in list fashion.
I found this little gem of an article, titled “20 Things I’m Glad Life Taught Me“. It might look inspiring but its 99% fiber with little flavor or substance. Because you see giving generic advice is easy. Anybody can say “grab life by the horns” or “live everyday like its your last”. The reality is, that those are idealistic phrases which have no regard for your everyday problems. That advice is meant to apply to everybody and yet solve nobody’s problems. At the end you’re still where you were before reading it. You can’t really expect words to induce in you the same emotion the writer was using to write the article. But fear not, there are not lists in this post.

Pick your cult
There exist these two cults whose members feel they are superior (in every way) to the members of the other cult. Now when I say cult, I don’t mean in it like one would when referring to Scientology for example. I mean it in the sense that both of these groups practice mental oppression.
The two cults that I am referring to, go by the names of Science and Religion. Both sides are so ignorant of each other that I’m sure all of you are not strangers to the heated debates that take place between the two parties.
Both of these groups fail at life because they are far too close minded, arrogant and dismissive of each other. In my eyes, there are no winners in the debates of Scientists and Religious folk.

Oh no, the tubes!!!
In case you haven’t heard. Somebody is swimming around cutting cross-continental fiber optic cables. You probably know them by a different name, “the inter tubes“. Basically the foundation for communication of the Internet.
There are many theories out there as to who is the culprit. Some are speculating that Cloverfield was in fact a documentary from the future and the monster is here. Others blame the dolphins, sea otters and jelly fish.
Word is that 5 cable lines have been cut. Though there are other rumors that up to 9 have in fact been sabotaged.

Today, let me tackle the age old question. The one that has everybody talking about nothing. Why is mary-gee-wanna illegal?
I, of course, happen to know the answer. I swear I can hear you thinking “the answer is 42 hehehe”, but unfortunately our decimal system is far too immature to represent the real answer.
The real reason why marijuana is illegal is because it’s not important enough to be legal. But nobody in government really knows what to make of it, so they just brush it under the carpet and let the green party deal with it.

North American kids are stupid
You know what’s a good question? Why American kids hate books. Even though I can already hear you scrolling angrily to the comment section to inform me of how popular Harry Potter is. I would like you to save your breath because Harry Potter does not count as literature.
Mike Elgan over at ComputerWorld has written an article about how cellphones might save books. Apparently people don’t read anymore. Apparently reading is boring. Obviously you still enjoy reading, otherwise I don’t know what to make of you reading this.
The summary is that kids in North America are lazy, stupid and spoiled. We spend way too much time talking on our cellphones, kill way too many gray cells on the weekend and procrastinate way too much while we try to unlock more achievements on our XBOX 360. We are stupid and we don’t care.

Google is a cry-baby
I like Google. Or rather I liked Google. Past tense because they are impressing me less and less as they grow. Their ego is becoming unmanageable. Check out this official Google blog post about their thoughts on Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo!.
My thoughts and feelings can be summed up with a simple phrase, “Google, you’re a whiny little bitch”. To understand what gave birth to my now growing distrust and disapproval of Google read on.
