That's right.  My 5-year-old niece got me addicted to a farm game on the Ipad.  I love it.  I have crops (from carrots to soybeans to chili peppers!), farm animals (sheep, chickens, pigs, and cows!), factories (pie ovens and sugar mills and animal feeds, oh my!), a roadside shop where I get rid of all of my eggs, a boat, and now most recently a cat.  I am even tempted to spend actual money to make my farm look pretty.  I won't though, that's just silly.

But now onto the subject of this post.

A doctor I used to work for would often times lament that there isn't a day dedicated to saying whatever is on your mind no matter who it would offend.  I think I agree.  I would use that mostly to comment on the stupid and inane things people say on Facebook.  I would tell them that they are being stupid and inane.

Since this day does not exist, I'm just going to comment in the privacy of my own blog.

1. " i'm with ya there. I say if your going to live here speak out langung damit, for we have to learn your when we go to your country"

First of all, if you're going to live here and complain about other people "speaking our language," learn to spell it correctly.  At least use proper grammar.  Otherwise I'm going to have to think you're one of those people.  Secondly, us entitled Americans don't learn the language when we visit other countries.  We expect them to speak English.  And they do because they teach foreign languages at a young age and these kids grow up speaking two or three languages all their lives!  We could learn something from them.

2.  "Today's productivity has officially ended... I can't stop watching-- I just love a good filibuster in the morning!"

Yes, because that's how the government should work, by not working.

And to all you people who share and post stupid stuff on your Facebook, do us all a favor and research it first.  No, Morgan Freeman is not dead.  No, Obama doesn't want to take away your guns.  No, 1,000,000,000 likes won't cure cancer.  So just stop it.  Stop it.  Now.

End rant.
