Proof That Visiting Space Aliens Do Not Exist
It is, of course, impossible – or at least devilishly difficult – to prove a negative. I cannot prove that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny don’t exist. Nor can I prove that your chosen deity doesn’t exist. (Ahh … but I can mock you for your belief! In fact, I would rank that among [...]
Ostracization Just May Be The Answer
No, I’m not talking about increasing the number of ostrich farms… What should we do with the most reviled individuals in our society? Child molesters. Those that bilk seniors out of their life savings. Spam kings. You know who I mean. It’s clear that our legal system – as great as it is – cannot [...]
What Punishment Fits Bernie Madoff’s Crime?
We have all heard the saying that “the punishment should fit the crime,” but opinions vary wildly when it comes to assigning specific penalties for specific crimes. What is the appropriate punishment for Bernie Madoff? He has all but admitted to stealing $50 billion dollars, yet he is enjoying the comforts of his multimillion dollar [...]
It Is Not My Job To Fix The World
When I read articles or advertisements in the mainstream media dealing with alternative medicine, transcendental meditation, organic foods, and such, I feel anger. Why is that? It is not my job to fix the world. Right now, there are people spending money on water pills, a.k.a. homeopathic remedies, instead of going to the doctor. I [...]
Planet X and the Nibiru Idiocy
OK, for those of you who have never heard of it, there is a growing “controversy” over a theory that a huge asteroid is coming to pound our helpless little planet in 2012. This doomsday rock is known as Planet X to some, Nibiru to others. The whack jobs – cough, adherents – to this [...]
Want to Save the Environment? Then Stop Reproducing!
Every time there is a world conference to discuss global warming, depletion of natural resources, destruction of the rain forests, etc., one topic seems to be completely taboo: population control. The reason, I presume, that no one wishes to bring up this untouchable subject is that to do so would be to take on the [...]
Run Out Of Talent? Just Announce A Name Change!
Maybe I was the only one, but I laughed out loud and never hid my derision when Prince decided to rename himself into an unpronounceable symbol. Forevermore, to me he became TAFKAP – The Artist Formerly Known As Popular. I snicker to this day. The current record holder in the “narcissistic self-renaming” category has to [...]
The Cut, Color, and Clarity of Stupidity
All the proof ever needed to demonstrate that human beings are irretrievably flawed can be found in the diamond business. Here’s a rough-cut summary: tens of thousands of workers, predominantly in third-world nations, sacrifice their health digging up hillsides and stream beds in order to find a few shiny objects. The shiny objects are then [...]
Recession? What Recession?
It should be painfully obvious to all that the U.S. is in a sharp recession and has been for many months. The government avoids using the “R” word whenever possible, placing it on the same plateau of inappropriateness as the “N” word or the “C” word. After all, we can’t have the people panicking! So [...]
Water Shortages? H2O – The Stupidity!
Ever drive through communities in Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas? Despite being in the desert, it isn’t hard to ruin your new car wash by splashing through small rivers running through the streets. At the same time we hear about dire water shortages, poorly maintained sprinkler systems shoot millions of gallons of [...]
Separation of Church and State is a Fantasy
Anyone who is paying attention knows that separation of church and state is laughable in the United States. When the U.S. government designates a National Day of Prayer, you know that lawmakers are barely keeping the smirk off their faces. Courthouses display the Ten Amendments, and government grants are made available exclusively to religious schools. [...]
Breast Implant Idiocy
Oh those poor women who just can’t find happiness with the bodies that evolution and genetics gave them. They go and pay thousands of dollars to have someone slice their skin and insert packs of inorganic goo into their chest. Some of them get lucky, have no complications, and are happy with the results. Then [...]
« go back — keep looking »About
My name is John. I have opinions about everything, especially about how to solve world problems. Most of my rants have to do with the runaway stupidity on this planet. If you don't agree with my views, that's OK - it's a free country (kinda). Just don't mistake this site for a democracy!
