Can't help it
You know, sometimes someone has to say something.
Take the guy in New Mexico who caught a mouse in his house, brought it outside and dropped it onto a pile of burning leaves. The mouse, on fire, ran back toward the house and set the structure ablaze.
This may seem stupid enough but this happened in New Mexico where grass fires are running wild across the landscape in extremely dry and windy conditions.
What the heck was this guy thinking burning leaves in those conditions? That's got to be worth at least 10,000 stupid points.
In the same vain, Marcus Vick, younger brother of NFL quarterback Michael Vick of the Atlanta Falcons, was arrested again.
The younger Vick, who has a year of college football eligibility remaining, was just kicked off his Virginia Tech University team for a combination of legal problems and his behavior at the recent Gator Bowl where he was seen on national television stomping on the leg of an opposing player. When informed he wasn't welcome back on the football program, Marcus Vick announced he would enter this year's NFL draft.
Right. Haven't you heard about Maurice Clarett, the Ohio State sensation as a freshman who has not played football for three years and tried to make it in the pros. He got cut. Last week he was picked up for an alleged armed robbery in an alley in Ohio.
It seems evident that professional sports are staggering from the bad publicity in recent years because of the behavior of individuals. They don't seem to be looking for social rehab projects. Good character is gaining favor on all sports teams
Vick, continuing actions of the past year to year-and-a-half, deserves at least 10,000 stupid points.
You remember the stupid points program suggested several years ago. It was in response to people acting stupidly and resulting in emergency services having to respond to things like drinking and taking medication, or drinking and not taking medication. The suggestion was that everyone is born with points and every time they do something stupid, that proves costly to society in general, they get deducted so many points for stupidity. After accumulating x-number of points they are no longer entitled to volunteer emergency services.
I know it's not very Christian, and the behavor of these people can't be ignored because they could endanger other lives through their stupidty, such as the burning mouse and house. But why does the world have to put up with these misbehaving celebrities, who like everyone else, believes the world owes them something?
The only thing we owe them is more stupid points. Just like everyone else. — Roger Morris
