What the Hell

I don't usually go off topic. This blog is about sharing my journey in a wife led marriage and learning from others.

However, what the hell with the swine flu. The media goes nuts and my 11 y.o. came downstairs 2 nights ago crying that he thought he was going to die from the it.

Hey, world, CHILL OUT. And the US media has gone fucking crazy. Sure it's a bit serious, and yes, some people will die. But you have a better chance of dieing while driving to the pharmacy than you do from the swine flu.

And too bad the media doesn't give enough coverage and concern to the fact that 1 in 4 kids in the US are over weight. That's the PARENTS fault. If your 5 y.o. is fat then stop feeding him/her so much junk food. Obesity is a much larger (pun intended) problem than the swine flu. And lets throw in drug use and the lack of seatbelts too.

Sorry for the rant but we have to put things into perspective.

Nobody wants to hear about fat kids, because that would be an issue rquiring people to take some sort of responsibility. Much better to wear a mask and panic for no reason.

Couldn't agree more, for what it's worth the press in the UK have been no better. For weeks we have been told that we are all going to die, now it seems that it's more likely that you will feel a little hot and get a runny nose, if you catch the Flu. Typical sensatioanl reporting.

Still at least the first couple to bring the flu back into this country from Mexico sold their story to the newspapers, who said capitalism is dead, it's just suffering from Swine Flu lol.

It's great to see a submissive male with an attitude, LOL! Since you aren't ranting about your wife, this is acceptable.
