I am so tired of hearing people complain about high gas prices and still continue to drive all over the place. If you don’t like it then stop paying for it! You can carpool or suck it up and actually use public transportation like “those regular people” do.

There is no reason for gas prices to be this high and the oil companies know it. They also know that you people will continue to pay whatever price they say. They know you won’t get off your lazy ass and say NO! That’s what’s wrong with people nowadays. You can’t stand up and come together to change your communities for the better. Imagine how wonderful this world would be if people stopped being so selfish and actually worked together.

You could tell these oil companies that you will not have it, but instead you suck it up and make them even richer. You could push your political candidates to put more into research of alternative fuel sources (and there are plenty out there), but you’d rather stay in the moment than think towards the future.

Get off your fat asses and protest America!

Considering it comes right out of the tap and falls freely from the sky, it’s a little depressing to think about how much we pay for bottle water. It’s sort of a sad commentary on the state of the world and what we’ve done to environment; we’ve dumped so much pollution into the ocean and into our waterways that we have to actually buy sanitized water in order to feel safe about drinking it. But I’m sick and tired of paying almost two dollars for a modest sized bottle at the grocery store; what’s a premium price tag doing on a basic necessity? It doesn’t have any added nutrients or chemicals and it won’t get you drunk or high, so why the hell are you paying so much for it?

Because it’s clean and comes in a fancy bottle and was bottled at the peak of some fancy mountain in some far off land? Heck, some bottled water isn’t even that: it’s just municipal tap water that’s been filtered. You know that joke about bottled air? Don’t think it can’t happen; there’s a proven formula for selling a widely available commodity in place already thanks to the bottled water industry. Just wait until pollution gets so bad that we’re all walking around with rebreathers on; some company is going to bottle purified air and sell it to you for a premium price and we’ll all line up to buy it. God, I hate humanity sometimes

PATASKALA, Ohio — A videotape found on a camcorder that was sold to a pawn shop shows a toddler being forced to smoke marijuana, police said.

The suspects in the video were tracked down, arrested and charged.

The tape and the crime were discovered when a camcorder was sold to a Columbus pawn shop. The suspects videotaped their own crime, police said.

At first, it appeared a male was smoking marijuana through a pipe and the little girl was playing nearby. Then the male, whom police said was 18-year-old Melvin Blevins, was seen passing the pipe to the child. The tape shows the 18-month-old little girl resisting before the video cuts to black.

Next, a 16-year-old girl is shown holding the little girl. The male then places the pipe in front of the child’s mouth.

Police believed the videotaped child to be the man’s niece.

The girl is charged with child endangerment and corrupting another with drugs.

Blevins is in custody facing the federal charge of distributing narcotics to a person younger than 21.

The child is now 2 years old.

MOST teenagers ask for a High School Musical DVD for their birthday – but ALICIA DOUVALL’s daughter wants a boob job.

GEORGIA is just 12-years-old, but already wants to go under the knife to launch a modelling career.

Her plastic fantastic mum has even given the thumbs up, once she’s 16, and reckons her girl can be more famous than BRITNEY SPEARS.

The kiss-and-tell queen – who has bedded CALUM BEST, P-DIDDY and MICK HUCKNALL - said: “Georgia wrote a little birthday wish-list for her 13th birthday later this month and on it was Kate Moss perfume, an iPhone and a boob job.”

The former Love Island contestant told Closer: “I was surprised because I didn’t know she was worried about her flat chest. She’s such a quiet girl, she doesn’t say a lot.”

But Georgia reckons her mum looks good, saying: “Because of her, I think it’s normal to have surgery if something’s not quite right.”

Alicia – who admits to having had over 50 cosmetic procedures over the past decade – believes: “Surgery is just the modern-day next level.”

Although be grateful for small mercies, Alicia insists her daughter waits until she’s 16 for the op.

She said: “I think a 16-year-old with a nice, sexy figure will do really well as a model as long as she’s managed well. That’s why I’m happy for Georgia to have a boob job because it will give her a career.

“She’s been at a modelling agency since she was about six. She’ll be more famous than Britney!”

Alicia – real name SARAH HOWES – has just had her 12th breast op, but is already planning her next as she’s unhappy with the results.

The self-confessed ‘pushy mum’ has also changed Georgia’s name to DESTINY to enhance her daughter’s chances of fame.

She added: “I wanted to call her Destiny when she was born, but my mum said it sounded like a lap dancer’s name.

“But she never much liked Georgia, so we decided to change it.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A 22-year-old man is accused of balling up pieces of bread and trying to sell them as crack cocaine to senior citizens in a Florida nursing home.

Investigators said Hillmon Arnold tried to sell the fake cocaine at the Golden Retreat Center on Moncrief Road.

“He was trying to sell these pieces of crack for $5 apiece to these elderly citizens and, clearly, trying to take advantage of them because he knew they received their checks on the 10th of every month,” JSO spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda said.

Police said Arnold ran when officers approached him in the parking lot of the facility.

When officers caught up with him, they said they found a pill bottle in this waistband that contained seven or eight aspirin and something that looked like a rock of crack cocaine — but it wasn’t, WJXT reported.

“He actually admitted he was trying to sell artificial crack cocaine to support his own drug habit,” Bujeda said.

Even though what he was selling was not an illegal substance, he was still breaking a law: sale/manufacture/delivery or possession of a counterfeit control substance — a third-degree felony.

“Because the person on the other end has no idea that it’s fake or real, so whether you’re attempting to sell a fake or real drug, when you’re trying to sell that and you are leading the person to believe it’s a real drug, you’re just as guilty,” Bujeda said.

In addition to the counterfeit drug charge, Arnold was also charged with resisting arrest without violence. He was booked into the Duval County jail and held on $52,506 bond.

On Saturday, Joseph Manzanares stormed into the Hollywood Video store where his girlfriend worked, threatened to kill her and knocked over several video displays and even a computer, Commerce City police Sgt. Joe Sandoval said.

After he ran out of the store, police were called and the 19-year-old was arrested at his home.

His girlfriend told police that they had been arguing about the upbringing of their son and which gang he should belong to. The teen mother, who is black, is a member of the Crips. Manzanares is Hispanic and belongs to the Westside Ballers gang, the woman said.

“They have different ideas on how the baby should be raised. Basically, she said they cannot agree on which gang the baby would ‘claim,’” Sandoval said.

Manzanares was charged with disorderly conduct, harassment, and domestic violence. He was transported to the Adams County Detention Facility.

On Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to a year of probation. The misdemeanor harassment charge was dropped.
