Anxious

You Americans voted for this foolishness.

As I have said before, I don’t know too much about American politics, but I’m learning fast.  I'm quite anxious to see the results of the next election. As I see it, I don’t think that there will be too many Democrats or Republicans that are now at the White house or in Congress or the Senate being re-elected. From what I can see, most everyone that are in there now should be voted out and especially the president and the people that lie for him. I also hope that the American people remember the ones that have lied to protect Obama, come election time.

I wonder if Obama will have a job for his yes-people, and also for the ones that have already resigned because of their lies for him, when he tries to find himself another job or maybe even another country where he will be able to con the people into electing him.

Well we will soon see how smart the American people are come next election.

That’s my little rant of the day.

A very dangerous world

I was reading the news the other morning (like I mentioned before, I go to several sites that I know to read about what is happening in this forsaken world). What worries me, is the tension amongst different nations and the the supplying of better weapons to their militaries. This to me gives the impression these nations expect that some global or local or internal conflict is liable to break out at any time. I will agree that something could happen at any time like a war, because of all the problems that have developed during all these years of 'peace' in the civilized countries. Let’s not forget that a certain person has opened up a highway called diplomacy and sometimes it works and often times it doesn’t.

Actually, that's not my point.  Let me get back on topic.

Lewd tasting games

Here we go again with some of the crazy things that happen in American schools. This time, it was in an elementary school in Los Angeles (or Lost Angeles).  A teacher by the name of Mark Berndt is accused of blindfolding children and feeding them cookies laced with his semen.  He was caught, charged and has agreed to plead no contest to molestation involving 20 students. 

The guy should be fired and put in jail and the families should sue the school for what happened to their kids.  They probably will.  Now if this is not a pervert, I would like to know what it is that this type of person should be called. I have to give parents in the USA credit for having the courage to send their kids to schools these days. Especially after reading and listening to the news about what goes on in those schools almost every day they continue to send their children to these schools.  There's really not much more I can say about it - it was lewd and perverted and involved children, it's simly disgusting.

That is my rant of the day.

As a side note, I wish I could still walk long distances, so that I could walk down the streets and report on the funny things that people do while walking down the streets by themselves.  It's a treasure trove of material for me to rant about, but they aren't really rants because a lot of it is just plain funny.

The ship is sinking more and more.

In a post that I wrote referring to a rudderless ship, I forgot to name that ship.  The name of it, is the USA. This ship has been sinking for a long time now and with everything that has happened and still is happening, has widened the leaks.  If something is not done about it, I can see it going down deeper and deeper faster and faster.  

Iranian leaders - worlds best connivers

The Iranian officials seem to be the best connivers in the world. These people will do and say anything and everything necessary to complete their nuclear agenda. Every meeting that there has been with the Iranian officials in regards to their intentions about their nuclear agenda, has been unsuccessful.  Whenever the mention of them stopping their agenda of obtaining nuclear weapons they give their reasons for wanting nuclear power.  They claim it is solely for electricity. Of course they do have the highway of diplomacy open for them.

Lies + scandals = mistrust

Do the occupiers of the current administration of the USA, as a result of all of the lies and the scandals they have perpetrated on the American citizens, realize that they have cause America to be mistrusted around the world?  They have perpetrated lies upon their own people.  Americans now have to enroll into a law that will take away the insurance plan that they had and that they could afford, only to replace it with what? This new health care law means they are losing it and also if they get something else, they are paying more. I really think this law will be the last straw in killing the American economy.

Call center rant

This is Canada and in this country there are two official languages: English and French. My beef is with some of these big businesses, that have people in their call centers that answer the telephones who are not fluent enough in either language to be in that position.

I know a lot of these businesses hire immigrants and I have nothing against that.  They need jobs too.  It’s just that when you have to call a company to deal with something or get a new product or service, your interaction with the company is the person at the other end of the call. If that person that answers the telephone can’t understand what you are calling about, or can’t give you an answer that you can understand because of the communication then it complicates things. 

 Here is what I mean. This was either on Friday or Saturday of last week. The telephone started ringing so I answered it.  When I did, the person started talking, but all I could make out it was a person from Bell Canada asking me to accept a long distance call.  Unfortunately, she could not tell me where the call was from, or pronounce the name of the person who was calling. I just hung up on her. I know it’s not too polite to do that, but I figured that it would not hurt her feelings so much as me getting mad at her and giving her hell for doing the work that she was not prepared (language wise), to do.

I don’t blame that person for that, her abilities are her own.  But the person that hired her and put her in that position is responsible for getting the most out of the position. Perhaps Bell does not care whether people understand their phone operators.  That is a bad business model, but it is also their choice.  As it was my choice not to take the long distance call, and deny Bell the money from that call.  

Most immigrants are hard workers and for them to be put in that kind of position shows a disregard for those people’s feelings, because the one responsible for putting that person in that position, must have known darn well the problems that this person would encounter from the customers, especially a customer of a telephone company.

Just remember people, if you call a business and an immigrant answers and has problems explaining or understanding you, it’s not their fault. These people are working at whatever they can get and are doing their best to do the job that they have been given.

That’s my beef for today.
