Intersting Story Number 3. Touchy subject this one for alot of people...War. The Mirror today printed a story about 'The War's youngest hero'. This young chap, Pte Alex Kennedy, has been awarded the Military Cross for saving his commanding officers life whilst under attack from Taliban Forces. He is the youngest person to be awarded this prestigious medal since World War II. I'm not writing this to have a pop at him or anyone in the army. What Alex did was amazing. I couldn't do it. He has my upmost respect for doing what he did. Congratulations on being awarded this medal. That is a genuine congratulations.
The reason i'm writing about this is because i genuinely believe the Government should raise the minimum age of signing up to the army from 16 to 21. At 16 you do need parental consent to join up but still, 16! So at 18, well 17 and 9 months, you can sign up of your own free will. I think this should be raised to 21. Some of these people are still teenagers when signing up for the army...teenagers! They still have that natural teenage aggresion and probably don't fully understand what they're fighting for. They see it as a guaranteed pay packet. I know this as i've chatted to a few guys in the armed forces and having asked them why they signed up that's what they said. At 18 they've barely lived at all. They should go out and get that natural teenage aggresion out of their system the normal way...sex and booze. I think that signing up kids up as soon as they leave school is just wrong. When a child leaves school and finds out there are not alot of jobs around waving an army leaflet in their face is not the answer. Give the person a chance to educate thenselves and grow to discover what they want to be. Then, at the age of 21 and having lived a little, they can make an informed desicion as whether to sign up for the army or not. At 21 they will have a far greater idea as to what the army is all about and whether it is for them or not.
I respect anyone who signs up as I couldn't do it. I would be to scared to point a gun at someone and fire it. Call Of Duty Modern Warfare i'm fine with, real life not so fine. Why is Call of Duty Mordern Warfare 2 an 18 but real life army is 16? That seems a little fucking backward to me. How can a compter game have a higher age rating than the real life armed forces. That seriously needs looking at. Also to sign up to the Army Entertainment Corp you HAVE to be 18 and over. So to go and entertain the troops you have to be over 18 but to weild a deadly weapon you don't! You can go out and kill people in the army before you can buy a pint of lager legally in this country or even a pack of smokes. How the fuck can that be right. I can kill people under the supervision of the armed forces but i cannot celebrate with a pint after. Somethings in this country need changing and that is one of them.

The Daily Mirror 14/04/2010 - Part 2 - Meet The Lumps
Interesting Story Number 2...GIANT family of 9 (with another on the way) claiming £815 a week, A FUCKING WEEK, are saying that it's really hard to get by!!! I honestly was dumbfounded when I saw this little gem in the paper. Out of work parents, 7 children (another on the way and the mother says she wants 14), 4 bedroom house (but they're waiting for a bigger house), 2 people carriers, 42inch TV, Sky TV, Nintendo WII, 3 Nintendo DS, a PC and 4 mobile phones. The Mother says in this interview that 'It's really hard. We can't afford holidays and the price of living is going up but benefits are going down'. I'm sorry, is £815 a week, £3260 a month, £39120 a year not enough for you? Do you demand more of our hard earned money because you can't control what comes of your fanny. If you cannot afford to live, and i used that term very loosly (bit like something else must be by now), then STOP HAVING CHILDREN. It's not difficult to understand! oh, i forgot to mention, they also filed for bankruptcy 18 months ago as they have £20000 of debt with mail order catalogues. I know what you're thinking, C***TS. It's ok, i'm thinking the same thing. I try to keep my bad language to a minimum on here but sometimes it has to be said. I'll leave this story with one more little quote from the adoring mother 'It doesn't bother me that taxpayers are paying for me to have a large family. I don't feel bad about being subsidised by working people'. Well if fucking bothers us that our hardearned money is going to your greedy little mouths.
The Daily Mirror 14/04/2010 - Part 1 - The (R)age Factor
Three things in todays paper caught my attention. The first of which was a little short story about my favourite person on the entire planet, Mr Simon Cowell. I'm starting to realise that this guy doesn't have a clue about anything to do with anything that's about anything involved with anything...unless it's BOTOX. In todays Mirror they printed a little interview that Simon Cowell did in 2004 in which he stated that 'talent shows can harm kids'. When asked on a US radio show if putting children on a television talent show this is what Mr God Complex said 'I have a problem with that, I really do. I even have a problem with people entering at 16. They're just to young. Look at Michael Jackson. When you deprive someone of that age their normal upbringing you really can do some serious damage'. Well in that case Simon, how about you start looking at your own shitty fucking TV programmes. Don't say one thing and do another. Stand by what you have said and stop children entering your so called 'talent shows'. Will this guy stop at nothing to make more money...money can't buy you your youth back though Simon! You can BOTOX all you want and have every nip and tuck there is but you're still going to be a complete tit who clearly doesn't know what he's saying or doing. How about you put an minimum age limit on Britains Got Talent just like you do on X Factor. While i'm on the subject of 'BGT' and X Factor why not actually have judges with talent. These people are meant to be judging people with talent but are talentless themselves. Amanda Holden, Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, Danniiiiiiiiiiiiii Minogue, Cheryl Cole/Tweedy (depending on whether she is with Cashley this week or not), Louis Walsh judge talent...IRONY.

The Cartoon Pope
I actually planned to carry on my last rant but i read something the other day which i had to talk about. I'll carry my first rant on next time as i had to get this off my chest.
The Pope...Pope 'Cover Up' VI...Pope 'Pederast' XVI...Pope 'Thinks He Is Immune To Our Laws' IX. Who does he think he is...the pope or something! I read the other day that there're plans to have him arrested for 'crimes against humanity' the moment he steps off the plane in England. After having picked myself up off the floor from laughing so fucking much i actually thought about this for a while. Apparently the Pope has 'Diplomatic Immunity' from arrest as this is a state visit. Having studied this a little further i discovered that he is not head of a state recognised by the United Nations...he is just a fucking state. I mean if you get the chance go and view a few pictures of God's 'Right Hand Man'. The Pope defines Bling. Let's just assume for one moment there is a God, would he really have picked this guy as his representative? The man who was a Hitler Youth, the man who says condoms increase the chance of catching HIV and i quote 'the problem cannot be overcome by the distribution of prophylactics: on the contrary, they increase it' The man who says Homosexuality is 'Moral Evil'. Hold on one gold chain wearing, God hearing, bullshit spouting minute...this man is actually saying that Homosexuality is wrong but this is coming from the man who tried to cover up child rape in the Catholic Church!!! I think he wakes up every morning and says to himself 'Right, how can i fuck things up even more today'. The man is genuinly insane. If i went out on the street saying to people what he is saying i'd probably be arrested for inciting riots. The man is a nut ball, a fruit cake, the man speaks the word of God...surely this is proof that God does not exsist? Imagine Jesus coming back down to Earth, what the fuck would he think about the state of the Catholic Church? What would be his views of the cover up scandel that has called for The Popes arrest when he comes to England? From what i've heard about this Jesus fellow he would be rather angry and disgusted with what has been going on in his absense. I think the Pope needs to take a long look at himself and decide if he is the right man to lead the Catholic Church. I'm all for arresting the Pope. How can he be immune when, according the Bible, all men are created equal. Doesn't this mean we all adhere to the same laws and the rules. So, judging by the laws written in the book he preaches he should be punished for what he has done. I say arrest him and make an example out of him. We need to show these people we won't put up with their bullshit anymore.
If the Catholic Church is to survive i believe it needs someone in charge who has an open mind and someone who is going to actually try to help people. Not someone who spouts absolute rubbish and hoards all the money for himself. The man is dripping gold. In the age we live in the Catholic Church needs to listen to people more and try to help them, not tell people how to live and punish them when they don't follow exactly what they say. The Pope certainly hasn't followed the word of the Lord. If God created us the way we are then as the head of the most powerful religious sect/organisation/Church/cult, whatever you want to call it, he needs to realise that God must've created some people to be homosexual. So the Pope must be saying that God was wrong!!! That's a statement and a half from his Popeness i think.
I hope he does get arrested when he comes over. If not only for the comedic value of it then for the purpose of showing The Pope he is not above the laws he preaches. I can't think of a better way to achieve this goal.
I promise next time i'll have a pop at the other God like creature walking this planet...Mr Simon Cowell. Until that time ladels and jellyspoons keep ranting about things.

Concerning Heart.FM and Emma Bunton
Having never listened to Fart.FM until 5 months ago i never actually understood why people took the piss out of it all the time. I never listen to the radio anyway, if i can avoid it, but having started working at a place where it is pumped into the shop every second i'm working, i can now see why people moan about it. I get the feeling this radio station only has about 10 songs on their playlist! Everyday it is the same shit songs being plugged by the same boring presenters. It's always Alexandra Burke singing about how she loves the bad boys so much, JL fucking S telling us to put our hands up if we're in love...i would put my hands up but if i do then nothing will be stopping the blood from pouring out of my ears. Also, if i hear once more about how the Kings of Leon's sex is on fire i think i'm going to set myself on fire.
During the Christmas period you might remember Rage Against the Machine releasing 'Killing in the Name'. Not only did this make me laugh but it was also one in the eye to Mr Music himself...Simon Cowell. Fart.FM only ever played the short SHORT version of this song as apprently it was considered to 'anti-establishment' and therefore we were not allowed to hear the full version. This coming from a radio station who are constantly plugging a song which basically tells young girls that the bad boys are the best kind of guys to be with! Also i've heard N-Dubz on this radio station...the anti-bullying group who bully via text. Again, is this not a little strange? According to Fart.FM it is ok to send the messege out that bullying is acceptable and sleeping with bad boys is the correct thing to do, but hearing a song about how we cannot accept racism in security forces is somehow a bad thing.
To top it off Fart.FM have Emma 'Ice Skating Expert' Bunton presenting some of their shows. I was fortunate enough to catch some of her remarks during the never popular TV programme 'Dancing on Ice'. All she ever used to say was 'That dance was good but for me it was missing something'...she never actually said what the missing something was though! Also, was she there to judge the dancing or just to gawp at the men and then comment on their bodies? Now, if this had been a man, who week in week out had made comments about the womens bodies, would he have been castigated in the papers and by the public watching it? Hmmm, that question has made me start thinking about my next blog/rant. Stay tuned ladies and jellyspoons for more inane drivel.
