Nutcases

Nutcases. If you are one, don't be offended.

Some are dumb, some are funny, some are dumb and funny, some are just plain stupid.

But most of the time it's fun to read about nutcases, or what they wrote, but right now I can guarantee you the only two reasons we don't have peace in this world are politics, and nutcases.

I could give you demonstrations or examples but just look at the world: you'll see enough. But I'll give you one or two anyway, might wind up being twenty, I don't know:

Nutcase number one: Guy buys new lawnmower. Won't start because of a piece of plastic in the spark plug. Now this certain lawnmower comes with this piece in the spark plug so it won't start on its own in the middle of a parking lot or something. Guy doesn't know this. Guy gets mad at lawnmower, gets a .44 magnum, shoots it full of holes, and throws it in the pond. Later one Sunday, wife wants a window in their bedroom. Guy wants to watch TV. Commercial break, guy gets a chainsaw. Guy cuts square hole in wall. Goes up to his wife and says, "Here - here's your window, can I watch TV now?" You might be a redneck if......

Nutcase number two: Guy who has 16 kids. Self-explanatory.

Nutcase number three: also self-explanatory: anybody on drugs.

Nutcase number four: those beauty pageant people. I mean, all they do all day is walk around in their dresses and say, "I want world peace" knowing they're not going to get it but they don't care because all they really want is a crown. I have to hand one thing to them though: they smile a lot. I don't see how they smile all the time!

Nutcase number five: Suicide bombers. Self explanatory.

Nutcase number six: Anybody who commits suicide. Also self-explanatory, not to mention just plain selfish.

Nutcase number seven: Most of the teenagers of the world. Not all (I mean, I'm one of them) but the majority. Nowadays they're just all ....ugh....bad....all they want to do or talk about is smoke or drugs or whatever the world has to offer like smoking and drugs.

Nutcase number eight: Mental people. I know they can't help it but come on - that's where the word nutcase started, right?

Nutcase number nine: People trying to fit in. I mean they try too hard. If they'd just be themselves they'd fit in but they just try to impress you with everything that's not impressive.

Nutcase number ten: The school bully. People would be a lot better off in this world if it wasn't for them.

Nutcase number eleven: Evil stepparents. I would go into detail, but I'll quit right here.

Nutcase number twelve: Comedians or class clowns. I am partially one so I am going to say I am partially a nutcase but these aren't the bad nutcases, these are just the funny nutcases. These are the the funny ones I mentioned at the beginning.

Nutcase number thirteen: Jocks that are so full of themselves that they don't think about anything else in the world but themselves. I mean, just look at Terrell Owens (NFL, Philadelphia Eagles receiver): everybody hates him and he knows it but he doesn't care, he's just getting money for doing what he does best and I don't blame him for that, but you're talking about a guy that, before a game, goes and sticks a cell phone in between the pads of the goal post and the goal post itself and then when he scores a touchdown takes out the cell phone and calls some person he's never known and says, "This is Terrell Owens. I scored a touchdown." Like that's news to the world. That's what he's supposed to do. Then you get Randy Moss (NFL receiver, now for the Raiders, was with the Vikings): scores a touchdown and it's like he moons the whole stadium. He acted like it and got fined for it but he didn't care - he was just having his good time. I could go into more but there's so many, I'd be up all night and three more days.

Nutcase number fourteen: Abusive parents. Self-explanatory.

Nutcase number fifteen: Parents that spoil their children. Also self-explanatory.

Nutcase number sixteen: Spoiled children. They think the world is handed to them on a silver platter. It's not.

I know I'm young but I think I'm sounding like a philosopher now.

Nutcase number seventeen: Goths. Self-explanatory.

Nutcase number eighteen: this one's just for kicks: Japanese cartoon writers. I mean, you look at Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh or whatever that junk is, and you think, "WHO came up with this? Is he high or something?" Because I remember one time way back there was this video game I was playing and Mom came in - it was a Japanese-made video game where you run around with a sword or something or other but anyway - the only thing I remember that Mom suggested on was the roller coaster inside the castle. How many times do you see Medieval people running around with a sword in a castle riding around on a roller coaster? Mom comes up behind me while I'm playing this game and she was like, "What in the world...?" I said, "It's Japanese." And she said, "That explains a lot." Either that or they're just high. But there's all sorts of other stuff that they make - cartoons, games, you name it. Something has some effect on them or something because these people are the only ones that come up with these little cards with cartoon characters and make millions off of them. Isn't that what a comic book is for? And at least a comic book tells a story and you see all these, not only kids influence by it, but also a lot of teenagers and adults playing with these cards. That would be nutcase number nineteen if you ask me. They hold actual tournaments for these things. You can win at least a million dollars if you're 20 or older just by throwing little kids' cartoon cards on a table. Now I'd take the million, but I would find another way to get it.

And basically you get the whole idea. Just look around you in this world today, you'll find many more. These are just the choice few that came to my mind. And once again if you are one of these, don't be offended. Just be aware.

By observing nutcases as you call them,us, we can see the real person underneath the odd behavior.

Everyone has areas where they are lacking something...acceptance, praise, understanding, respect, friendship, etc...and often they act out in some oddball, unlikely way to try to get for themselves what they are missing....it frequently comes across as funny, dumb and funny, or just plain stupid as you said.

But in a sense, in a misguided way, they are seeking what they are missing.

If you can see the behaviors for what they are and glimpse the person beneath, sometimes, if you want to, you can help them by giving them a little of what they lack.

Maybe just a friendly HI or maybe some respect by just hearing them and responding directly.

Of course, sometimes the best thing to do is just observe and leave them alone.

(hmm. What is the comedian/class clown really seeking?)

Football Fullback is aware of this but regardless of the reasons behind the way people act out, they still act out and that leaves them open to comment when they do so. As he is only 13, I thought his entry here showed a lot of depth of thought, particularly looking at (as in case number 4) the facade or (as in case number 9) someone he goes to school with who acts out and who he has tried to befriend but the guy who inspired that is just too annoying for him to be around - and Football Fullback has pulled him aside and said something to him to try to help him, but to no avail. People do this to themselves. And in the case of number one - who can argue there?

Oh - and number 7 - have you SEEN the way a lot of teenagers write? I am SO glad he isn't one of THOSE...I would have to hang my head in shame if he talked like that.
