this is the end said the bum

the bum is going to keep this short and to the point. the bum has been informed of some serious news that will/has changed his life forever and can't commit the time (not matter how little it is) to his blog at the current time. so the bum is closing it down (within a week). thats it. don't question it. just forget about it. the bum just wrote this post to tell you not to waste your time by visiting here anymore. yes, the bum is a disgrace. he knows. bye.

you dirty whore said the bum

the bum remembers from high school health class that one in four adults have herpes. that's a statistic that the bum has kept with him for many years, in hopes that it will be imprinted so clearly in his brain, that when the blood rushes away from it when he is with a young lady, that he won't rush into something that will cause long-term damage. the bum thought that number would go down with the technological and scientific breakthroughs in the last decade or so but today the bum learned that its now estimated between 40% and 70% of adults have type I or type II herpes. woah. even if you are being conservative the number of herpes cases has apparently gone up in the last few years. maybe they underestimated it when the bum was in high school but still, this is a scary number. what's even more scarier was when the doctor who presented these numbers said herpes is not a bad thing since its so common. what the fuck did she just say?

of course herpes is horrible. the bum knows it, you know it, and she knows it. just because its common doesn't make it okay. and just because its treatable doesn't make it okay either. if you have herpes, the bum thinks you are a dirty whore. you couldn't wait till you were married and had to get a blood test to find out if your partner was a dirty whore or not. yes, the bum is aware you can get herpes from making out (open sores on the lips) so maybe you should wait on doing that as well. the bum has old fashioned views about when intercourse should take place but if you are a progressive whore (man or woman) at least get a blood test first and have your partner do the same. if you don't, you too will be like the idiot doctors out there who think herpes is okay.

ha! herpes is okay. next you will be telling the bum abortion is okay too. where are your values people?!

focus on the big picture said the bum

before the bum starts his post he wants to make certain facts known.

1. he did not vote for bush but he did not vote for kerry either (yes, the bum is aware of what he just said).
2. he tries his best to be objective.
   

that being said, the bum is tired of people (who he won't classify) who bash president bush. the bum isn't against criticizing a president but is sometimes against how and when it is done.

the bum reads blogs that are openly supportive of the president and others that wish they could relive the year 2000. what the bum notices about those who wish bush was never elected (those who want to relive the year 2000), the majority do not assess what he has done as whole throughout his his tenure but rather they choose to nitpick. they might focus in on him mispronouncing words or not making his points clear and the bum agrees those are two traits that a president shouldn't have but the bum certainly doesn't agree their should be a movement to oust the president just because of that. that being said, the bum proposes that those who do not support the president change the way they criticize the president.

do not just look solely on individual events but evaluate him with his entire term in mind. maybe you might realize that he isn't as bad as other presidents you admire. but most likely you will be stubborn and not change your mind. that's fine but start your arguments assessing his entire duration and then cite specific situations as support. in the bum's eye, doing it the other way around (citing a specific example and thus concluding he shouldn't be president) is assanine. if you fail/choose not to see the entire picture the bum thinks you have no basis for your arguments because you aren't keeping things in context.

the bum is not saying you shouldn't argue his day to day policies but every now and then please show the bum that you aren't just attacking the president because of what he did in one brief moment but rather you draw judgement about him based on a specific event it is just another example in a series of errors/bad judgements he has committed.
