Goal Setting…at another level

I had some goals I wanted to reach by the age of 30, some I reached, while others I didn’t. You can rest assured that none of them were anywhere near the heights that Desmond Hatchett reached. He may have had a goal of finishing his post secondary education before reaching the age of 30. He may have wanted to own his own home by the age of 30. Perhaps he may have even desired to become an entrepreneur before reaching the tridecade mark in life. Regardless of any of those, this moron reached a new high, or shall I say low. He fathered 21 children before reaching the age of 30. According to reports he had 2 years where he had four kids born in the same year. How foolish is this garbage? Everyone is up in arms over octomom, as well they should be, but how many other Desmond Hatchetts are there out there? How many other idiots are there that father kids they can’t support. This imbecile even had the audacity to say he was a good father because he knew all their names and birthdays. A good father? A good father? It’s obvious to me he didn’t come from a household where there was one present. Least not a GOOD ONE!! Otherwise he’d not have made such a stupid statement. He even said that it's okay that he fathered all of those kids. What a moron!!! Do we really want to raise his kids?

Make no mistake, I am the one who said that we ought to go to a program where you have to get a license to have kids. We all know at least one person that really doesn’t need to be a parent. Who suffers? Yep…the kids. I’m also the one that says I would much rather my tax money go to sterilize a young mother than have her keep popping out babies she can’t afford. I recently met a young lady who was 24 with 5 kids and no job. 3 of her 5 kids were in special education in the public school system. Two of those really didn’t need to be in there, but she gets a check each month as long as they’re in the program. Again, I say there needs to be some sort of licensing program or sterilization for idiots. They should never be allowed to reproduce, they just make more idiots.

Now back to Hatchett. This fool went to court in Knoxville, Tn for failure to pay child support and it all hit the fan. All of these kids are under the age of 12 according to reports by various news agencies. He was in court for 11 different cases of failure to pay child support. Just to exhibit his idiocy, he’s 29 and working for minimum wage. Even if they take the Tennessee maximum of 50% of is check it would net each baby momma $2.74. That’s preposterous. This is the reason I believe that we need to not only sterilize the stupid, require licensure for the masses and morons. I believe animals like this should be caged. He obviously can’t afford to pay for the kids and he doesn’t have sense enough to stop creating lives. Therefore, he needs to be medically or chemically castrated and incarcerated as a result of the reckless and irrational behavior he has exhibited. Some may not agree, but I believe we have too many social programs without standards, requirements or requisites. If you can’t afford to have a child, you ought not be allowed to have it. If you father a child and you can’t afford to support them, there needs to be some sort of repercussions or required restitution that they have to pay. The child is the one who will suffer in the end. Let’s make laws that really protect our kids!!!

It’s just my opinion, but I’m not wrong!!!

Intolerance or just being honest…depends on your position

A few short days ago Miss California found that stating her true feelings and expressing her convictions may not always be accepted. She learned the stark reality that sometimes you get negative attention for standing on your beliefs. She’ll find in days to come that some may pull away from her for allowing her morality to mold her responses. Unfortunately she’ll learn the hard fast lesson that intolerance doesn’t go both ways.

I’m not a pageant watcher by any means [real talk], part of the reason is some of the canned responses to the questions posed to the contestants and the insincere premise of the whole thing. Besides, there may be something else on more interesting. You know something where someone is getting shot, stabbed, kidnapped, or blown up [lol]. However, I was taken aback when I heard of the backlash and controversy surrounding the response that Carrie Prejean, Miss California gave when asked whether she thought the decision on gay marriage should be left up to the states [thanks Clark Kent]. Her response wasn’t something that the person asking the question was prepared for. Perez Hilton, the self proclaimed gossip queen, an openly gay man, asked her this loaded question. I suppose the he assumed that because she is from California that she’d have another response. I'd venture to assume that he thought he was lofting a softball for her to grandstand and talk baout how she supports the union of men with men and women with women. HA! Much to his chagrin, she did what not too many other contestants do, she shared her personal belief and opinion. In other words, she actually answered a question.

Since then, she’s been lambasted, ridiculed, and hilton has berated her [complete with obscenities and harsh insults] on his personal blog. I believe she ought to be applauded for speaking her mind and not saying, ‘…I believe we should have world peace…’ or ‘I’d like to abolish poverty in the world…’ While I still won’t be watching any pageants anytime soon, I applaud her for doing something on a televised, highly media driven stage, that many don’t do in their personal lives for fear of backlash or having people look at you funny, she stood on her principals and stated a position!

I do, however, have a greater concern. I wonder? Had she answered the question the opposite way and said she’s fully in support of gay marriage...as a matter of fact my best friend is gay [okay maybe not the last part], would there be as much of an issue be made of her response. We all know that there wouldn’t be anyone to say anything at all. They'd talk about how smart she is and how she's so open. Here’s the issue, if you offend the gay community look out. They come after you full force and don’t believe in fighting fair. They say there’s nothing like a woman scorned I beg to differ…try pissing off a punk [I’m just sayin].

Case and point, proposition 8 in California; they got it on the ballot, the people voted, gay marriage wasn’t made legal. That’s the way things work in a democracy. That wasn’t good enough for them. They started picketing churches, blaming blacks and Hispanics for voting it down, and even took it to the state supreme court. We live in a democracy…we decide things by voting. Unless it doesn’t go their way…or the response isn’t what they want to hear…then it’s intolerance.

For too long, people in general and Christians in particular have allowed our beliefs, teachings, rituals, etc to be trampled on and said nothing about it for fear of being labeled intolerant or bigoted. I, for one, stand up and applaud Carrie Prejan for stating your opinion, not to offend, not to belittle, not to be malicious, but BECAUSE YOU WERE ASKED!

To Mr/Miss [or whatever you are] Perez Hilton, I say DON’T ASK A QUESTION YOU AREN’T PREPARED TO HEAR THE ANSWER TO!!!

Kgalema Motlanthe said it best, “You can’t improve any situation by staying away from it.” Stand up, state your position and be ready to herald and defend it against the world.
