Standing on my soapbox - Common sense2

*Climbs on Soapbox*

“If you keeping making that face, it’s gonna stick like that”  You ever wonder exactly WHY your mother used to tell you stuff like that?  As a Mom, I figured it out.  Because you looked stupid doing it.  Yes, that is why!  Why would she care if you looked stupid?  Because your stupidity reflects on her parenting skills.

Aside from Common Sense being thrown out the window, we now have the ‘I don’t care’ attitude. Honestly people, do you REALLY think your Mom or Dad is proud that you are featured on the cover of ’Girls Gone Wild’ video? Do you really feel that when Mom is sitting there with her friends having coffee and someone says “Oh, I saw Mary on a commercial the other night flashing her boobs, they blurred it out of course!”. Do you REALLY think your Mom is going to sit up with pride and say “yep, I made those boobies!” No she’s going to hide her head in shame, wondering why you didn’t learn the lessons she taught you.

Unless your Dad is a pervert, he’s going to change the channel when that commercial comes on. My husband has taken to changing the channel with the comment “Oh my, I have daughters that age, I can‘t see this!” Not all old guys are like that, have you ever considered the thought that there are oldsters out there drooling over your lack of inhibitions?

Because you got so drunk and were out of your mind and started lifting your shirt or dropping your pants for a drink, dollar, smile, whatever, there are men making money from YOUR stupidity. Are you seeing any of that revenue? So now you’ve went to college earned your degree, you go into that interview and you don’t get the job. You wonder why. Ever think that your interviewer has seen that late night commercial? All that college money and time is wasted because you got drunk.

Case in point - Vanessa Williams - Former Miss America granted she did get acting contracts, but do you REALLY think you are that special? At least she was trying to earn a little extra money in college, what's your excuse?

HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

A few years ago a friend told me I should go on one of those ‘Talk shows’ because I was having issues with one of my daughters. They claimed to help young people. I went. I was SO entirely embarrassed, so much so that when I was notified I wouldn’t tell my parents. They’ve never seen it. I refused to tape the show, as suggested by the producers. I just wanted to put it in my past, then they have re-runs. I am ASHAMED that I chose to go on that show.

As a teenager I dated, as is normal. I even had 3 boyfriends at one time. I didn’t have sex with ANY of them. Why? Because my Mother didn’t raise an idiot! I knew the results of sex, babies. If I’d had sex with them, I might get pregnant and then would I know who the father was? Now the talk shows have turned into ’Who is my Daddy’ or “Who is the father of my baby’ shows. Do you have ANY idea of how much of an idiot you look like up on that stage not knowing the father of your child? Particularly when you have more than 2 guys paraded up there. Not only do you look like an idiot, but a slut also.

Definition of Slut - 1.  an offensive term for a woman thought by others to be sexually promiscuous (slang)

Definition of idiot - 1.  a taboo term that deliberately insults somebody’s intelligence (taboo insult)  2. somebody with an IQ of about 25 or under and a mental age of less than three years.

Let’s break that down for you - You are acting like someone with the mental capabilities of a 3 year old who likes to have sex with anyone.  How do you like them apples?

To make matters worse , you get up on that stage spouting so many swear words that they have to use the ‘bleep’ so often the watchers can’t understand a word of what is going on. The crowd boo’s you, yet your hands are raised like they are praising you. Have you no shame? Do you NOT realize the crowd has more sense than you do? The crowd by the way are mostly homeless street people who are given a free lunch to sit and watch you act like an idiot.  So essentially the homeless are SMARTER than you!

You are so determined that ‘Joe’ is the father of your child, you cuss him out, you cuss his Mother out anyone who disagrees with you gets a tongue lashing by you. Then it is discovered that ‘Joe’ is not the father of your child. Don’t you feel STUPID? Do you realize those sitting on the other side of the TV are saying that? The crowd laughs at you. Was that $200 you got paid to be on the show worth that?

If that’s not enough we now have people clamoring to be on ‘Reality Shows’. Do you REALLY need that 15 minutes of fame? Is this how you want the world to remember you?

Bad Girls Club - One girl has no idea of what she wants, so she jumps into the shower with 3 different girls, proceeds to have sex with them. Oh Come On!!!! Pick a side!! I don’t care if you’re Gay, that’s your issue. But even the Gay community can’t stand you! You can’t continue to bat for both sides of the team! Make up your mind. Consequences for your behavior will eventually happen. Then are you going to say ’poor me?’

Is your self esteem so low that you have to try to PROVE how tough you are? They should have called it "See how stupid girls can be, Club".

Get real!  He’s got several girls in each State waiting to take your place when he leaves home.  Do you REALLY think you’re going to be his ‘one true Love’?  How much do you have to debase yourself for a guy?

Debase - 1.  make something inferior: to reduce something in value or quality

Get drunk, get into fights, sleep around. I can honestly say this is NOT how I’d want the world to remember me!

This one is so stupid, that the moment it comes on.... click - change the channel.

PLEASE don’t tell me that you are actually trying to get pregnant to be on the show!! Is the $280,000 really worth you slapping your boyfriend and the State threatening to take your child worth it? Or the world watching your shame as your boyfriend (the father of your baby) dumps you for some girl who doesn’t have kids. How long do you think that money is really going to last? When it’s gone, then what? You’re stuck with a child, no boyfriend and no job.

If you think you're going to get the break Vanessa WIlliams did, think again! She can sing, dance and act. What do you have going for you?

Your Mom’s/Dad’s/Grandma’s must be SO PROUD!!!  NOT!

Let’s use a little common sense people.  We only have a short time in this world to make an impression.  Use your time wisely.  Use it for the better.  If you want or NEED reality, look around you.  You live in reality.
