When did it become OK to blame others for your choices, and not yourself?
If a bar, and the employees of that bar are held responsible for a person drinking to much, getting into their car, and then driving away, should a fast food chain and its 14 year old McPloyees also be held responsible for serving a fat ass a hamburger, and then him having a heart attack?

Blogging Live, and Fat People
So, I was reading an old issue of Time at the MIR on Thursday. I was there for more needles, not as a commando! After you get the needles you have to sit there and wait 15 minutes before you can leave, in case you have some horrid reaction to the drugs. Anyway, back to Time. It was following John McCain, and his rise to the top of the republican party. Right at the end of the story, it talked about the up coming republican convention, and all the coverage Time was going to have, they even have a "live blogger" from the convention floor...a fucking "live blogger."
Apparently Time Magazine is going to pay some guy to just sit there, and write a new post every 2-5 minutes about what he sees. With the innovation of Live TV, I see this as a totally pointless thing. I will see what this guy is blogging about before he even starts to type, and by the time he posts, and I refresh my window, something far better will have already happened. Why the hell would anyone pay someone to be a "live blogger?"
Anyway, on to fat people. Some of you may know my stance on fat people, for those that don't, I hate them! Now, I am not talking about the couple pounds overweight (cause I am), or the chubby but still cute, no, I am talking about the can't function in the world because they can't put down the fucking fork kind of fat people. The kind that drain health care resources because they have a horrible "disease" known only as "Icaneatawholecakeinonebiteitis." My main reason for hating them is that its not that hard to get out and do some sort of exercise on a daily basis. If you have a schedule that doesn't allow for daily exercise, then get out a couple times a week, and reduce your intake. I can't stand these people that think they deserve things because they are "sick" (fat and eat alot, and lazy). Now, I know there are actual medical conditions that cause people to gain weight, and its beyond there control, but no way in hell do all of these fat lazy basterds have it...most of them just LOVE food! The reason for this rant on fat people is something I read in the paper today. The Canadian gov't has recognized obeisity as a disease (I say its a symptom of applying fork to mouth a couple to many times, but, oh well) as becasue its a disease, these poor fat people are entitled to certian things. One of these things is a free 2nd seat on a plane so that they will have enough room for thier fatness! Thats right, all airlines operating in Canada must provide, on request of said fat ass, a FREE 2nd seat. So, now that shamu gets 2 for 1 seating, those of us who stay in a shape other then ROUND are going to have to pay more for our seating, cause you and I both know that the airline isn't going to eat the cost of that 2nd seat...no pun intended. So, this is why I hate fat people! Also, talks in the states about a "fat tax." I dont know alot about it, but from what I understand, its an additional $0.10 on every non-healthy item to be used to ofset the rising social cost of fatassery, aka obesity.
Okay, enough bitching! I am playing hockey tonight at the base rink. Rob and I play on a "c" league team, but, we might get booted up to "b" soon...we dont really know since every time we were supposed to play with the "c" league, no one botherd to show up. Might be heading down to Raxx after the game for a brew or two, and Sunday will be all about relaxing!
Also, a certain person at work, who from now on will be known as Wonder Cpl blew things up, and now I have to write a bloody memo asking to get off work 2 hours early next Friday. I can't wait for the real tech's to come back to work next week, and things can start running as per normal again.
Thats all for now, Irwin out.
