Smash Me Doll

The Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme inspired a doll and hammer costing $100.00. No sooner was an order for 1000 units to be mass-produced and the toy gift was an instant hit. Teach said to come up with our own Smash Me doll and I know my ultimate pick for sure…Smash your Baby Mama Doll!

Personally I love my mom and all moms for that matter it takes a special kind of woman to be a mom, any one who’s ever been a kid knows that! With that said, there’s another side to the picture. I love my daughter so much and from the day I was to be a single dad I said I wouldn’t let her down no matter what. My baby’s mother is something else. She has no concept of sharing the dual relationship of raising a child in a tension free broken home. It’s her way or noting and I’m sure she’d say the same for me so whatever… I could totally picture an instant success.

How bout Baby Mamas and Daddies Smash me dolls collector set and individuals!

Greed is Good?

Is greed a good thing? No but after watching the movie Wall Street and hearing Michael Douglas’s character give a speech that greed is a good thing I would have to agree. Greed stands for a lot of emotions like determination, desire, willingness, ambition, ect. These are the principals that have brought the American society to where it is today. Survival of the fittest is key when considering who succeeds and who doesn’t. Greed is more of a battle of wits than muscle or intimidation. The small skinny smart guy is likely to be the shark and the big dumb idiot with extra money is likely to be the bait. Greed weeds out the bad seeds if you ask me, and they’re the ones who were never going to financially flourish anyway. All that leaves is smart people finding ways to take advantage of other people’s financial situation to benefit their own.

Greed is a human instinct and represents a lot more than just money. All physical possessions and emotional satisfaction we strive to gain more of even if it means taking it from others no matter the cost. Greed may have brought a society to the great place it is thought of today but at the expense of how many countries, governments and citizens of the world. All together to me… greed is a horrible thing; the idea that I can willfully outwit someone out of something they equally desire just because I’m smarter is taking advantage of them in what our society considers for the most part legal transaction. The fact is Greed weeds out the idiots and survival of the fittest is a fact of life so accept it along with all the injustice, mistrust and misuse of authority. Because in the end having all the smart people running shit is still better for the whole (society) than sharing authority’s equally. America is a Democracy and by definition is not a greedy type of government. Yet and still the Corporatism political appointees and presidents have allowed has literally sold out the American people, future generations, its recourses, along with its self worth and dignity. "A corporation is a business formed as a separate legal entity"(Essentials of Business Law 6th ed., Liuzzo & Bonnice, pg. 268) American business and government bankrupts other countries and its citizens because?...better them than us right . That’s all greed is, it has two sides and no one wants nonprofit side.

Political officials profit individually and the American society suffers collectively, where is the accountability. "Feduciary responsibility is a lega requirement that a person will exrecise his or her authoritywhile working under duty of loyalty and a duty of care."(Essentials of Business Law 6th ed., Liuzzo & Bonnice, pg. 270)There is no Greed Court. Our gold standard meant something a hundred years ago until it was privatized into the Fed, which we still consider a government entity. When it is not, it is a private bank that pays no taxes has no laws for accountability and answers to no one. So what do you do when your gold volume is private and refutably audited for over 20 years? Accept it… accept that your money is worth what they tell you it’s worth. And if the people running the show hand out too many bonuses or even become victims of greed themselves. They print more money to fix the problem and tell you its still equal to the same amount it was the day before.

To me that‘s the ultimate pansy scheme to sell America to people of other countries and their governments piece by piece until one day it’s no longer America. Either they don’t realize they are traitors or they don’t care but in my opinion all life is ruled by greed, you wouldn’t have your accomplishments today without it. But for every accomplishment that ever came to someone came hand in hand with the failure of someone else. So yea we are all created equal but it is our greed that separates us later on in life. Nothing more nothing less. Greed is the root of all evil, money is just a piece of paper. My sixth grade teacher said, “ It’s only worth a dollar because you think it’s worth a dollar.”

MySpace Quote Comments

After reading some of the other blogs posted by classmates regarding the MySpace Hoax case I had these comments…

First Quote: The thought of a grown adult messing with a young girl is very disturbing. Whether it is in real life, or behind a computer, she was one way or another harassing this little girl. “siyavashcorp.blogspot.com”

I agree with this comment, the adult (Nancy Drew) is in my opinion taking advantage of minor through deviant means. It is wrong and should not be tolerated among society. However the responsibility in my opinion lies with the parents who lost their child. They are responsible for their child at ALL TIMES. Society wants/tries to establish blame and no one wants to blame the parents of the victimized child, ultimately this world is a cruel place and they are all victims of a tragic accident. No faults no blame just things that could have been done differently but in this case weren't.

Second Quote: When I was growing up we didn’t have myspace or facebook, and for most of my childhood the internet wasn’t widely available and certainly wasn’t a part of everyday life for a child. Now kids spend way too much time on computers and tend to live in a fictional world where your popularity is based on how many facebook friends you have, and the ‘cool kids’ don’t just ignore you at lunch, they post terrible things on the internet for everyone to see. “jaclyndonatelli.blogspot.com”

I love this comment. Because I can relate to those days when problems like these didn’t exist. They were real life in your face PROBLEMS. And now there is a whole new world of communication through Internet. I almost seems artificial because to me because you have to “pay to play”. Not literally but really if you don’t want Internet problems, don’t use the Internet! Try telling that to our kids ten years from now. HA! But real life in your face problems don’t go away, you must overcome the REAL obstacles in life amongst your peers.

Third Quote: The woman behind the crime should feel guilty because she was messing with the emotions of a teenage girl, who was not yet mature enough to handle heartbreak, especially since she had already been going through depression. The damage was done, and the culprit does not feel any remorse.”barnhurstdesign.blogspot.com”

This is true she did not publicly give an apology nor show any remorse throughout this matter. However I believe she can relate to the idea of losing her own daughter for something just as meaningless let alone the thought of going to jail and being away from her child having already shown her family what kind of a member to society she is. Nancy Drew is responsible for 99% of the moral ethic that went wrong here and I think she knows it. The other 1% is why a 13 year old had a MySpace page in the first place? I’m not giving Nancy Drew a free ride in my comment but just ask yourself this… “ Do you think Nancy Drew wanted the minor child dead?” I don’t. I think it is very likely she was counseled by a lawyer to not comment specifically so that the Prosecuting attorneys nor the family could produce accountability before the courts did! “Innocent until proven guilty.”

Fourth Quote: The Internet is serious business - that's a joke people like to make, but it's undoubtedly true. People formulate real relationships over long distances, and I know that I have, having several friends who I've known for years… ”houdinimation.blogspot.com”

Yes it’s true just like a post card or the telephone we will always use any means of communication that is more efficient than the last, and we should! Having long distance relationships with all kinds of family and friends is a great thing when you’re all computer savvy. The point I’m making is there’s no room in there for strangers, just like in real life weather you’re a kid or not 9 out of 10 we say no to strangers right! Even still we are all going to come in contact with people who don’t care about us who are willing to take advantage of us anyway they know how. The important thing is to see it before it comes or realize before it’s too late. The real lesson is to be aware of your surroundings and to interact with people you trust. Again there’s no room for that kind of security in a place they call CyberSpace.

Lawyers comment

After reading Jesus's blog "under rated games" about Lawyers I left this comment...

Comment on Lawyers...

I like how you suggest that although a lawyer is a respected profession, they are looked at as money hungry people who take advantage of others in need of their help. The real point I think is that even thought we don't like lawyers, we like jail or punishments even less. And if the one person who can see to it we are not punished unfairly or even punished at all happens to be a lawyer then so be it, then we like lawyers. Finally I think the real cost here is freedom and the price people are willing to pay for it is infinite. After all something is only worth what someone will pay for it!

GTF Case

What do I think about the Grand Theft Auto Sex Law Suit? The lawsuit filed against the makers of the video game because the makers allegedly put hidden sex scenes within the storyline. The scenes were revealed to players who downloaded a third party code. The maker of the code stated he was not at fault because the scenes were already implemented within the game and he was only offering access to a preexisting part of the game. The case was brought to court and anyone who purchased the game was able to sign up to be included in the settlement. The court established the plaintiff’s must try the case on an individual state level and not collectively through a New York Federal Court.

The plaintiff’s all suited the makers of the video game and were awarded a little over a million dollars. The money was to be divided up amongst the plaintiff’s with the obvious majority going to the team of lawyers. In the end customers were to be awarded a much as $35 per claim intended for reimbursement. The lawyers however were to collect $955,000.00. This is outrageous to me because although they earned their money they have basically become the sole beneficiaries of the case and not their clients. I feel like I’m left with so many questions concerning the settlement.

To me the lawyers see a loophole within the system and they know they can access damages and win. The Plaintiff’s have what they feel is a legitimate claim and either hopes to be reimbursed or overly compensated which isn’t right either. In the end it just seems the case is pointless and meaningless to the sanctity of the justice system. More perversion came from the outcome than went into the ridiculousness of the claim. Lastly if I had my way with the case I would award the lawyers $45,000 and their clients would receive the 955,000. This way it shows the damages are real and the payday comes fair to all involved. Not all would agree but they’re just the ones who would get less money. After all that’s all this is about someone trying to take someone else’s hard earned money.
