November 13th, 2007 — How to Be A Decent Person
On Saturday, I had the privilege of attending the UCLA vs. ASU football game. It was a lot of fun even though UCLA lost. But as I sat in the midst of late teen ASU students, I came to a realization regarding modern language taboos, and thought I would share.
Most of the ASU students in our section were, for the most part, fairly rude. I understand that sports are all about competition and hating your opponent and such, but these folks were downright obnoxious. Every time UCLA would do something good, one fellow would yell “Light blue is a gay color anyway!”

November 7th, 2007 — How to Be A Decent Person
In yet another installment of the LiamFerris.com exclusive series “How to Be A Decent Person,” today I present ideas on not harming your fellow man. It seems that people just don’t understand that we’re all here to help each other out, and not harm one another. You would think that’s a simple concept, but apparently it’s not.
Take, for example, this surveillance camera (ugh) video of a white SUV hitting a pedestrian in a crosswalk. The SUV literally drives over a pedestrian, stops, then finishes driving over him and pulls over. The driver gets out of the SUV and goes to check on the victim. Take a look to see what happens next:

It seems to me that lately a lot of people have had trouble being decent people, and treating their fellow citizens of the earth as equals. I don’t know if people are just dumb, or if they truly are selfish. Either way, a lot of people are having issues being polite.
Take for example my flight today from Las Vegas. Some idiot lady brought her idiot dog on the plane, and it barked the whole time. Why in the crap would you bring a dog to Vegas, and why, if you knew that it was a yappy dog, would you subject an entire airplane full of people to its yappiness? Sounds like pure selfishness to me.
And take another example from my flight today. People for some reason believe that they need to stand with their legs touching the baggage conveyor belt, and make it a pain in the ass for other people to see their baggage, let alone claim it. If everyone would just stand three to five feet away from the baggage carousel or conveyor belt (depending upon the airport), things would be much better for everyone. In this case, I think it’s just stupidity, but if people would just take a minute to think, I believe they would come to the same realization.
I find that I frequently have such ponderings, so when I do, I’ll try and share them with you, loyal readrers.
