America Is Becoming More Stupider And Lazier
Jesus Christ I honestly believe this country is heading towards a future where everyone is basically Corky from Life Goes On. Every year we see reports that test scores are going down, acceptance criteria for colleges and jobs are being lowered, we are heading to the point that mediocrity is acceptable. Before any of you turds make a comment on the title of this rant, yes I KNOW I used incorrect grammar, just roll with it baby.
Just yesterday I saw an ad in the local paper looking for help. Here were the requirements, and I shit you not this is true:
-Willingness to show up on time
-Clean personal appearance
-No felony criminal record
I'm sorry but I shouldn't have to advertise that I am looking for those above three items, that should be a fucking given. At my dealership we recently had an opening for a salesperson and put an ad out stating so.
We had well over 50 people show up to fill out applications. Among those that came in to apply for this job, we had:
-At least five individuals show up wearing sweatpants or shorts
-Ten plus people in jeans and (at best) a knit shirt not tucked in
-Five people wearing baseball caps
-One guy with an Afro and scraggly beard
-One person wrote "will explain situation in interview" on their application underneath the question "Have you ever been convicted of a felony offense?"
-Three people showed up smelling of marijuana
Only seven candidates showed up dressed professionally. By professionally all I was looking for was dress pants, a knit shirt tucked in, and a well groomed appearance. Two people showed up dressed in a suit and tie. Guess which candidates got called back for an interview and which did not?
To make matters worse, the most unprofessional of the above applicants (including two of those wearing sweatpants) came in and complained that they were not called back. When we explained the position was filled they said we didn't even give them a fair chance at getting the job. Geez I wonder why.
Another example of growing stupidity in the workplace is our local Wendy’s. I went to this Wendy's two days in a row. I order a hamburger and get a chicken sammich. The first time this happens I call the store up and let them know the problem, they tell me to come back, refund my money and get me the correct order. Great customer service and a great resolution to the problem.
Well the second day I go and order a hamburger. I specifically state "I would like a hamburger, yesterday you guys gave me a chicken sammich by mistake". I get back to my dealership and what do I find....... A GODDAMN CHICKEN SAMMICH.
So I call up the boss and complain again, she apologizes and promises to fix me up again. So I send a porter to get my (what should of been)hamburger....he comes back......ANOTHER GODDAMNED CHICKEN SAMMICH.
So call up the big boss at the store. Here's a transcript of the conversation
Idiot Wendy’s Manager: Thanks for holding this is Mike can I help you.
Carnonymous The Brilliant: Mooooooooooooooo
Idiot Wendy’s Manager: Excuse me?
Carnonymous The Brilliant: Buck buck Buckkkkkkkkkkkaaaaa!
Idiot Wendy’s Manager: Who is this?
Carnonymous The Brilliant: Do you know what those sounds were?
Idiot Wendy’s Manager: A cow and a chicken?
Carnonymous The Brilliant: Yes they were, and I applaud you. That is obviously the reason why you are the manager at your store, the fact that you can tell the difference between a cow and a chicken. I suggest you hold an intensive training class for your staff, especially Tevon (the order taker) on this difference. Three times I have gone to your store and three times your staff has not been able to tell this most crucial of differences. I am thankful they will never rise above this station in life, because if they were doctors I would probably get my left nut taken out if I went in for tonsillitis.
From that point the manager tried to soothe me with free sammich coupons. I don't want free sammich coupons, all I want is my order taken correctly. It is not that hard.
So I went to Toys R Us and bought one of those kiddies toys where the 2 year old pulls on the cord, an arrow spins around and lands on an animal, then you hear something like "The (whatever animal the arrow points at) goes (animals sound)" and dropped it off at the Wendy’s.
I have not gone back since.
In the schools these days it is virtually impossible to fail a child if you're a teacher. The kid pretty much has to be a complete Mongoloid to get held back, and you have to have it completely documented....even then they may get passed on. I'm sorry but if Jimmy in 9th grade is still reading at a 2nd grade level he has NO CHANCE to ever accomplish anything in this world.
Now they are even integrating the retards into normal classes these days. Back when I was in school they had a special short bus for the retards and a class for all the retards. The only time we ever ran into them was when they undid their chains and let them run around the playground at lunch, half the fucking time the idiots hurt themselves. The goddamn jungle gym was a death trap for the retards.
Today a kid has to go through a battery of tests before he is even CONSIDERED to be put in special ed. The result, children who have no place in normal classrooms are put into them lowering the effectives of the teachers and taking time away from the rest of the kids.
Simply put, the standards are constantly being lowered to the point that Terri Schiavo could graduate high school if they just rolled her into the class room every day so she's counted present.
Fail a standardized test and you're a minority? Well its obvious the reason you failed is that racist fucking paper with ink on it you spent 5 hours trying to comprehend is made so only blonde haired blue eyed white devils can decipher its secret encoding.
I'm sorry but how can a question such as:
5 X 6 =
A. 23
B. 40
C. 6
D. 30
be written in a way that one particular race can understand it more than another?
Apparently it can, because standardized tests are being re-written so that they are easier for minority students to relate to and understand.
So from now on the above question is phrased:
Tyrone be having 5 grams of hash which he sells for $6 each. How much money be Tyrone makin? Holla
A. $23
B. $40 (not 40oz, so don't circle this)
C. $6
D. $30
Mad now? Think the above phrasing is racist? Well I would find it offensive to be told that a question has to be dumbed down and changed to I could understand it since I'm not white.
If the standard keeps getting changed is it really a fucking standard?
I swear people just don't give a fuck anymore, it is now acceptable to a fucking idiot. The only consolation I can take is this makes the professional world easier for the rest of us, and guarantees we will always have plenty of subservient peons ready to pump gas or (hopefully) get your hamburger for you.
