I have found a new source of frustration. I was listening to an interview (something about sports) on TV and the sports star in question asked the member of the media if "he had every played the game". He then went on to criticize the media member about not playing the game, and he didn't know what he was talking about because he didn't know the game, blah blah blah. My question is to the sports star: Have you ever been in the media? Then shut the hell up! I used to have a very spirited argument with a friend of mine who would tell me that I wasn't allowed to criticize smoking weed unless I had done it. That would frustrate me to no end. So, because I haven't committed murder, I can't criticize it? I hate, hate, hate that argument. Just because I haven't done something doesn't mean I can't be morally objected to it, and try to convice others of my stance. Now, I have mellowed out since then. People can do what they want, and I am usually cool with it. But if my freedom or rights have been violated, you can't do that around me.

What do you guys think about this deal in congress about making any movie that shows cigarette smoking automatically have an "R" rating? Kind of dumb, if you ask me. I do think there should be more ratings to further classify movies. I wanted to take my son to see "School of Rock", but it was rated "PG-13". After seeing it, I was kind of upset because there wasn't anything in there my 8-year old couldn't have handled. Can they make a "PG-10" rating?  ¶ 4:48 PM
