Road Rage, Video Games, Birth Control and MP3s
There is a bunch of small crap I've been meaning to post about... so lets get to it.
1. Road Rage
I have road rage. Everyone knows this. Really, my actual road rage has gotten much better... I've been working on it. I don't actually have much road rage anymore, and in general, if I start to get angry, I think about how much more awesome I am than whoever was pissing me off and let it go. Their life sucks compared to mine. They are an idiot, I am a genius. Someday, I will simply write down their license numbers and change their legal status in the stat's computer system's to deceased. haha, try filling out the paperwork to fix that little "mistake" asshole...
Anyhow, so I'm better. Well, except for FUCKING RETARDS AT CITY COLLEGE WHO PARK OVER TWO GOD FUCKING DAMN MOTHER FUCKING CUNT ASS FUCKING SPOTS!!!!!!!
What The FUCK people?! It happened to me again, and I felt like my head would explode... AAAAHHHHHHH....
So, I kept my cool, did not key their car, did NOT leave a note... I simply moved on, but I could not forget about it or let it go... Jesus... Walking to campus the whole time I just kept telling myself "let it go, let it go, let it go"... I even tried deep breathing to calm me down. BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE THE BANE OF SCOCIETY!!! THEY ARE THE ROACHES OF DEATH THAT PLAGUE ALL HUMANITY!! [Description of Death Removed... I don't want people to know how big a freak I really am.] (I would like to point out, this is the NICEST of all the possible deaths I thought up...).
But really... I'm getting better.
2. Video games: Congress Prove their IQ once again
Despite the fact that over and over it's been shown that video game violence does NOT lead to real life violence in "america's youth" congress (in likely hopes to look fashionable for re-election) has decided to beat the dead whore once again. It's very well outlined in this article from techdirt and this clip from the daily show (long live the daily show). But some of the most amazing parts of congress' debate include a congressman claiming that this sort of thing (violence spurred on from video games) is really only a problem in the ghetto, and that rich and middle class white kids (think columbine) aren't effected.
I remember campaigning vehemently back in 5th grade when this subject originally took off; trying to educate people, and show them how ludicrous the idea is. I was then, and am now, the poster boy for "shut the fuck up already", a vegetarian because I don't want to hurt animals... and yet, a gamer who's favorite video game moment of all time was sub zero's head-and-spine removing finishing move.
3. Birth Control and the Morning After Pill
This is going to be short because my head is starting to hurt from remembering all the unadulterated stupidity of parts 1 and 2.
Recently (yesterday?) it was ruled that the morning after pill WILL be available over the counter, without a doctor's prescription to women (and men?) aged 18 and over. As someone who's not just pro-choice, but actually pro-abortion, I think this is great. Sure, it's been deemed safe to take by a girl of ANY age, and sure it should be available on the shelves instead of behind pharmacy counters, but this is still just fucking great. It just leaves me with one little question...
HOW ASS FUCKING BACKWARDS ARE WE THAT THE MORNING AFTER PILL IS AVALIBAL WITHOUT PERSCRIPTION BUT THE PILL ISN'T?!
Come on people, why not make the pill over the counter too so 16 and 17 year old girls can prevent the issue in the first fucking place. That way they won't have to skip lunch in order to give their 19 year old boyfriend the $30 it costs to get the fucking morning after pill. IDIOTS!

P.S. Oh yeah, and there's a new way to take your licensed music file downloaded from napster or yahoo music and strip off the drm so you can exercise your legal fair use rights. (Read: FREE UNLIMITED MP3'S 'CAUSE SOMEONE HACKED THE ENCRYPTION!). Ask me for details (PC only).

There is a bit more to the Pill then the morning after pill. The morning after is designed to completely fuck up and overload the system to in effect flush. It is still painful, and definitly not fun. There are many many varieties of regular pills to give more control, and doctors try to work with the person so they get the least amount of problems, and still no kids. (i.e. low dose, different hormone balances, etc)
I agree that over the counter MA Pills is still a good step, though.

I agree that it can be complicated finding a birth control pill that works will for a specific person... but making it over the counter is in no way stopping you from working with your doctor to find the best one... it simply also allows those not in a position to see thier doctor the ability to use it too.
