The New PE, letting your kids get dominated later in life.

Child being bulliedWhat happens when you take the competition out of sports? You have The New PE. There are schools where kids are not allowed to play ta, but instead they play shadow tag. These same kids are forbidden to touch each other at all, and when they hug they “air hug”. The idea behind The New PE is to “guide youngsters in the process of becoming physically active for a lifetime”. That is a nice idea, but in practice it removes any chance of a child failing at something.

I have a major problem with this new method of teaching kids physical fitness. Kids need to be shielded from things early on, but competition and intensity isn’t it. Sports is where kids learn the drive to be better than they currently are. If you don’t learn that early you are destined to not want anything better, and we will be left with a nation of average or below average people. Personally, that would not be good for this country.

URL shortners, the best way to infect computers.

I have been thinking about internet security a lot lately and I can’t help but think that sites like TinyURL, BitLy, Twitter and Facebook are a perfect way to get hordes of people infected with exploits. If you think about it, it’s not that hard to do at all and I think you could get this implemented in an afternoon. The only trick would be getting someone with significant reach to tweet your site link.

So, how would one do this? Well, you could take an XSS approach like this kid, Michael “Mikeyy” Mooney, or you could just brute force someone’s account. After you get in you can simply post a shortened URL and ask for the repost. At this point, on the internet, people are so mindless that they will probably retweet blindly if the subject is compelling enough. Then you can use good ole Mikeyy’s technique to proliferate your malware across the network.

The obfuscation of the target site using TinyURL is so beautiful that you could do this on a host of sites. But, what if someone goes to the url preview of the TinyURL? Well, that is a problem, but with all the twitter tools out there that do not implement this feature it’s not a problem if some do go to the preview. See, it’s pretty easy to do this type of hack and quite frankly the brute force attack on the account is the only real annoyance in the hole process.

Here’s the deal, I am writing this article to keep people thinking about what they are doing online. It’s easy to get a firewall and an anti-virus and think that you are safe, but if you are clicking tinyurls and bitly links all over the place you can get hammered just as easily. Just be careful with your internet.

Why Don’t Shoe Manufacturers Like Toddler Sizes?

I personally don’t think that shoe manufacturer like toddler sizes. I have been on a mission to find a particular kind of shoe for my 2 year old who wears a size 9. The only reason this mission began was because I saw pair of white eyelet ballet flats for an infant that would go perfectly with her Easter dress. I don’t necessarily need them to be ballet flats, but I wanted a pair of semi-dressy shoes covered with the white eyelet fabric. I found them in infant, girls’ and womens’ sizes. All sizes for females with the exception of toddlers!! Why?!?! I might understand a little better if I only found them in one category of sizes. But I found them in all except toddlers. Ugh!!!!!

Please people, stop the rubber-necking already!

Every time I see an accident on my way to work I notice horrible rubber-necking that causes severe traffic. I can’t understand why people continue to do this crap during rush hour. Seriously, if you were in the accident would you appreciate people gawking at you and wondering what happened to you? Would you enjoy the stupid drivers around you slowing down to get a glimpse of yourself on the ground or in your car? I bet you wouldn’t…so stop doing it. It’s a stupid habit and it contributes to traffic every day. Stop being stupid people!

Reasons to Stay Single: The woman’s libido

I have started a new theme to help men understand why they should remain single as long as possible. At some point I will do the same for the ladies, but up first are the men of the world. So let me get started and help men all across the nation.

There is a myth out in the ether that states that sex ends at marriage. That is not entirely true, in actuality sex picks up right after marriage for about 5-12 months. Soon after this period it [sex] starts to decline. The reason for this is lack of interest, and it has been studied and proven. The scariest thing about these studies is that 33% to 67% of women are affected by this. Does that scare you yet?

Men, I have a solution to the problem, don’t get married. I know that it’s a nice idea and some women even try to force it on us…resist the urge. Instead of getting married, simply enjoy the pre-marriage phase of the relationship. When you start to get pressure for marriage or you start to think about getting a ring, RUN. It’s a very simple litmus test, and you will never have to deal with a woman’s slow libido.

The trick to this method is to only live through the initial months of the relationship when the woman is more interested in sex. Once you start to notice a slow down, it is time to make your move to freedom. You will know that the slow down is coming when your significant other is either tired a lot or postpones sex to later in the day. RUN!

There is little rehabilitation for a relationship that has become stagnant. Usually what happens is either the man or the woman step out and start to cheat. In this instance it is more so the man than the woman. For women who choose to let their libido wane, you can expect 90% of those men to think about other women. You can expect 60% of those men to cheat on you. You can expect 86% of all men to want a divorce within 5-10 years. The only hope for you is to have kids. At that point you at least have a noose around the guy’s neck to keep him married to you.

Now, there are some people out there who really want to get married to their lovers. They have fallen in love with them or whatever, well for those of you here is the suggestion. If you are going to want to get married, only date women who are nymphos. If you don’t you will marry someone who will eventually stale you out and your marriage will either suck or fail.

Or you could just inject your significant other with testosterone.
