Welcome to another installation of Finish the Sentence Friday. This week’s topic was submitted by your’s truly, which is why I’m hosting this week. So when you’re done reading, check out the links below and/or add your link if you want to join us.
You wanna know what really grinds my gears?
My kids’ school. A local dwelling hole for germs to run a-mucky-mok. A place for the absolute, unblemished teachers to stand on their platforms of delusions and judge parents based on what they FEEL parenting is like.
It hasn’t changed much at all since I was in school. People form cliques and point fingers and laugh or gasp. Gossip drips from their pie-holes like an ignorant drool seeping out of the corner of their mouth. Half-fiction man-made drama amuses the bored and misconceived while sucking victims into an unnecessary emotional roller coaster. Bullying becomes the normal way to communicate. You are either the bully or the victim. Pick one.
Our schools suck.
The only difference is when I was in school, the drama belonged to the kids. I’m sure the children of the school still participate in these kinds of extra-curricular activities of the social ladder; however, what I didn’t realize as a student, the teachers and parents do the same thing. I can’t tell if the kids learn it from the teachers, or if the teachers learn it from the kids, or maybe it’s just a natural human biological feature that keeps aliens from migrating to this planet.
What it really boils down to is a lot of people are feeling based people, and their feelings contribute to society’s dysfunction. Just about every mean thing you encounter is a result of someone’s “feelings.”
When it comes to school, you can have a positive experience just as long as the people working in the school LIKE you. If they don’t like you, whether it’s because you’re black (my friend’s kids), or because you fuck black people (my friend), or in my case, you write a blog that is more famous at your kids’ school than the internet itself, then school becomes a very negative experience. Much like high school.
It’s not about education for your children, but the feelings of the staff. If they don’t like you, they abuse the power against you. They take it out on your children. They sleep at night with no remorse while you lose sleep trying to stay as untouched by their hatred and evil as possible. I’m just saying, it’s very possible your kid’s teacher really doesn’t like your kid, or better said, they probably don’t like you.
Our schools suck.
And society lets this happen. The schools trained you to be sheeple. To accept the system for what it is. To not rebel. To not question the authority.
It just grinds my gears because our schools suck. Education is supposed to be equal opportunity. It’s supposed to give students the opportunity to explore concepts and open minds, to create little Einsteins instead of making burger flipping conformity-laced sheeple. School is supposed to be a place for students to find their individuality through their strengths and preferences, not a place to turn you into being as stupid as everyone else. Schools and parents are supposed to work as a team to advocate a child’s learning, not working against each other to advocate narcissistic emotions. The point of going to school is supposed to be to learn. We lost that point a long time ago. Now it’s just high school drama. We don’t have any public schools. We have public soap operas.
And other things “Feelings” cause that’s fucked up in this world…
The issue is most of our culture is feeling based. Most people make up their minds about something based on feelings, and then look for facts to back that up ignoring facts that contradict their feelings instead of basing opinions on facts. We operate 24/7 like this, from work to school, from government to the people. It’s dysfunctional. Feelings grinds my gears….
“I don’t like that person,” is usually something more like, “That person makes me feel fat because she’s so skinny, so I don’t like her.” Or, “That person makes me feel dumb because she’s smart, so I don’t like her. She thinks she knows everything.”
I know a girl who got kicked out the air force for getting raped because her NCO felt like she wasn’t handling being a victim of rape too well, which was against the doctor’s opinion. I know a girl who got kicked out because her ex husband who is reserves went AWOL to rape her at gunpoint, and that’s because her First Shirt didn’t want woman in the military, meanwhile her ex husband still serves. FEELINGS FUCK THIS PLACE UP.
Racism. Feelings.
Most people get hired and fired based on feelings more so than quality of work, work ethic, and qualifications. That’s why we have job interviews, and that’s also why some guy lost his job for being late once in the last 6 months, even though 5 other people you work with and for have been late several times in the last week.
Politics is feelings: i.e. gun control. People FEEL threatened by guns due to the school shootings when science says increased gun control increases crime. The government is discussing this with taxpaying dollars ignoring the real problems in this country.
People don’t feel like abortions are murder, so that’s ok, but SOME of those same people feel like eating meat is, so they throw paint on fur coats.
People feel like smoking tobacco causes cancer, but smoking marijuana feels like it doesn’t because they prefer marijuana. Nevermind all the studies that say BOTH cause cancer. http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/10363083 Warning, that research may not FEEL right based on what media has fed you on the subject, but it IS right.
Most of our advertising campaigns are emotional based because emotions sell. Same with our news media unfortunately, which causes most epidemics of stupidity or is the result of it, can’t tell.
Hospitals determine whether or not to give you pain meds based on their FEELINGS on whether or not you MIGHT abuse pain meds, including a shot in the hospital that has nothing to do with abuse. I honestly think that’s unethical. I don’t care if a person abuses pain meds, if they are in pain and paying you to ease it, you ease it.
Homework. Your kid and YOU have to do homework every night because schools FEEL it helps, even though studies say otherwise. They also remove things that studies show do help grades and test scores, like P.E., recess, music, extra-curricular activities, after-school programs (they aren’t free), healthy hearty breakfasts (they aren’t healthy or much of a serving at all at schools)….
