I'm so appalled.

There are so many outrageous things in today’s world that is just insanely disgraceful and just plain offensive that it, rather depressingly, comes as no shock anymore.  Things like extremism, racism and, is it just me or are there more instances of murder, rape and fraud?  I find this so hysterically appalling!  At the same time, I am not surprised because every time I read, listen to or watch the news there are ALWAYS awful bulletins.  I know this may sound like a stupid thing to say but the frequency of terrible news that we are subjected to could drive people to madness.  Or could it be to incite fear?

Despite being sickened by all the bad, there are some items in the news that just makes you think –

“You ungrateful over-privileged douche!  You do not deserve the life you have clearly taken for granted!”

I read in the news a week or so ago about an Oxford University law graduate who failed a professional exam and she then went on to sue her tutors at Oxford University.  Her argument was that she believes she was not well taught by her tutors and failed her exam as a result.  She is suing for £100000 in damages.  One hundred THOUSAND pounds.  Damages?  Apart from your pathetic ego and maybe going through the hardship of having to study for a brutal battery of exams – what possible damages could have been caused?! You failed.  It was your own fault.  You have, clearly, never failed before in anything you have ever done and it is extremely childish of you to not pucker up and deal with it they way an adult would – Build on your mistakes and move on!  Woman, you are a graduate from one of, if not, thee best law school in the country!  Why are you blaming your failure on others?  What, did your tutors not give you the answers to the questions?  How pitiable are you?  Life is not a smooth, easy, free ride in a Maybach!  There are always going to be speed bumps and potholes that will rock your world!  Deal with it! You are clearly intelligent, so have the sensibility to not be a sulky little dick!

You would think, hope even, that it does not get any worse than this.  Oh, but it does. 

I later, in the same week read about a man.  A very fat man.  He was around 21 stone, 133 Kg (293 lbs) and he was a diabetic individual.  He seemed to be struggling to lose the weight he had put on and it got so serious for him that, as a result, he developed type 2 diabetes.  When I read the article about this man, when he was interviewed, it seemed to me that he had adopted a rather whiney tone.  As if he was complaining.  What this morbidly obese man wanted to do was get a gastric band on the NHS.  He wanted to get an operation FREE OF CHARGE because he was unable to lose the weight.  He was told that he was too light, believe it or not, and therefore, does not qualify for this operation on the NHS.  He would have to get it done privately if he wanted to get it done at his current weight.  What was his next move?  To put the weight on.  He is going out of his way to become unhealthier so that he can get a free operation which will be covered by the tax payers of the UK.  He is going to gain 4 stone (25 Kg) just so that he can get his gastric band in for free!  What an audacious, cunting prick!  What a total knob ache!  Not only will he be draining the NHS of around £6000, just because he WON’T put the fork down and he WON’T go for a walk, but he was complaining about having to put the weight on!  In addition to this, he is diabetic.  A diabetic individual must be even more cautious about their weight and what they eat as it could have a detrimental effect on their health causing either blindness or the need to amputate a leg.  This is not a joke.  Also, he can, and most likely will, have cardiovascular health defects which all will cause more strain on the NHS budget.  If everyone thought like him, Britain would not offer free health service which has been viewed as shit by many people but, it is such a great service to know that you have available and can rely on.  I believe him to be an arrogant cunt and I would rather see him lose weight naturally than do it the lazy way.  I think the gastric bands, on the NHS, is a ridiculous notion altogether.  There are things like vaccines for the human papillomavirus (HPV) which should be available to both men and women, rather than just women, which should be covered by the NHS and it is not.  Due to the increase in sexual expression HMP have managed to become a vast strain of virus which has two deadly strains.  These can cause cancer of the throat, colon, cervix and testicles.  It is on the rise and unfortunately, it is deemed by the powers that be at the NHS as an unnecessary nationwide vaccine.  HPV can be inoculated by the vaccine girls get in secondary schools to combat cervical cancer.  It works in both genders and it is not at all expensive! 

There is something to think on.
