#7 Holidays... What a waste of effort.

If I were to create a holiday, I would create a Day of Laziness. It would always be celebrated on a Monday, since no one likes Mondays, and if they do, they're on crack. On this day, you would do only the things that are critical to your existence. For example, eating and going to the bathroom would be mandatory. Moving, talking, going to work, showering, or anything involving the use of your brain is prohibited. This holiday was developed when the pilgrims first arrived in America. They were lazy and needed someone to do their work for them. They used their mighty white powers and killed most of the "Indians." They panicked at their lack of servants and brought over some people from Africa to beat and not feed for their own use. Once the African Americans started realizing they were human beings and started going against The Man, the Americans panicked once again. They then turned to third world countries and Mexicans to do their work. Americans have a history of being lazy, and seem to think that they have supremacy over everyone and everything. Since we're almighty, why not create a holiday to do what we always do? We need a break from our "stressful" lives. We deserve it, right? Yay, America! Oh, beautiful, for spacious skies...

#6 Why do they even make those horrid things?

Sometimes, you'll see a product and ask, "Why do they even make those?" Plastic/acrylic gauges are one of those things to me. They are used for stretching piercings (Stretching - Body Modification, BMEzine: Stretching,) which should always be done with metal, bone, semi-precious stone, or silicone. Plastic harbors bacteria and will deteriorate in your ear during healing. Why do I see almost everyone walking around with plastic gauges? They obviously have no clue what they're doing, especially since they are more popular because "they're pretty." I think these people should be punished by law. The body modification process should not be taken lightly, especially since it will become permanent at a certain point in time. There should also be an interview before such modifications are made. If their reason is that "it's trendy," they should not be allowed to stretch. It is a big part of a community of punk, goth, emo, and, in general, dark people, NOT PREPS. I think the fine for being seen wearing plastic gauges should be $500. It is enough to stop people from doing it, as well as not being a somewhat low fine. On their third offense, the body part which the piercing is that they are stretching (i.e. earlobes) shall be cut off. Body modification should be researched before it is done to an individual. If they do not know how to take care of it, they might as well not do it.
