DUMB IT DOWN

"It is difficult being gifted because most times,people don't understand what you are saying,when you are saying it." -Earl "DMX" Simmons "Just because nobody can't understand how you speak,don't neccessarily mean that what you be saying is deep" -Talib Kweli Greene.  We live an "INSTANT" world. Instant chocolate, instant coffee, viagra(instant hard-on), Rampant Rabbits, At-your-door-pizza-delivery, microwave ovens(instant heat), GOOGLE(instant research), fast cars, even faster women. Kids cant be bothered. To put it rightly, kids can't be arsed. They can't be arsed to write "can't be arsed" so now they text it as "cba". The afore-mentioned makes life easier(for some). At the same time, it has made a host of us more impatient and/or easily irritated. Worse of all, the instant-culture has made it virtually impossible for people to engage their minds.

IS THE CAPTAIN RACIST OR NOT?

How (in)appropriate that Luis Suarez and John Terry allegedly(and I say that carefully), chose to use October-the so-called Black History month-to peacock their true racist colours! On a serious note though, these issues will be relevant no matter what month they occured(that is, if they actually did occur). Why? Some people genuinely want to see the back of racism in football and sport in general, for the more optimistic.(As if that is even possible!). The majority though, are not fussed, they just delight in seeing the demise of fellow humans. Especially when they are public figures or celebrities(what does that word even mean?!). The Luis Suarez/Patrice Evra issue is a case of "your word against mine", so it is near-enough impossible to prove. Unless of course, there are hidden mini-microphones in Mr Evra's captain's armband or the corner flag where he and Mr Suarez spent most of the afternoon that match-day(no offence).
