Copy and pasted from wikipedia.com (I apologize any teacher I have ever had).  Very important to remember, and the 7 National Crimes are below as well

There are several minor variants of the pamphlet in circulation, but the most commonly accepted version appears below:

• You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
• You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
• You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
• You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
• You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
• You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
• You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
• You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
• You cannot build character and courage by destroying men’s initiative and independence.
• And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

Boetcker also spoke of the “Seven National Crimes”

10 WAYS THE “HUNGERS GAMES” MOVIE IS DEF GONNA FOR-SURE SUCK BASED ON THIS PIC FROM THE COMMERCIAL FOR THE SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE FILM

1. Katniss is just FROZEN THERE. But in the book, she’s like a HERO, always running around and fighting for her life. She has to or she would die herself! But in this picture, she’s just like a STATUE. It doesn’t MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!

2. What is that silver little button thing on her left shoulder? Is it a button? Is it like a little silver thing at the end of a hoodie-string? Either way, I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!! IS THAT EVEN IN THE BOOK!!?!?!? NO!

3. There are NO other characters in this picture, but if you go back and read the books, there are LOTS of other characters. Like, maybe a hundred or like eighty. What about Peeta? Where is HE in this picture? Or Gale? Or the girl who got her tongue cut out (sorry! spoiler!)? It’s like, if you’re not gonna pay ATTENTION to details and put all the characters in the movie, WHY ARE U EVEN MAKING THE MOVIE!!?!?!?

4. Jennifer Lawrence looks ugly as shit. I mean, not to be rude and no disrespect to her but she’s the fucking fugliest piece of dirt-shit I’ve ever seen in my life. Like, I’m not a mean person, but her face makes me want to puke and puke and puke.

5. The picture is blurry. DOES THAT MEAN THE MOVIE IS GONNA ALL BE BLURRY!? In the book, there is NO MENTION of blurriness, but if you look at the picture—esp if you try to enlarge it a lot—it’s way blur-town. I mean, who directed this even? Did Suzanne Collins sign off on this retard? I doubt it.

6. I do like how her hair’s messy though, cuz like with the running around and stuff, her hair WOULD be messy. So I do like that. Good job.

7. Her mouth!!!! She has one of those mouths where like the tops lip goes down. I mean, maybe SOME people like that, but it is NOT MY FAOVRITE KIND OF MOUTH ON A PERSON. (And PS, I think a lot of people would agree. Just ask).

8. Katniss’ neck looks retarded. LIKE, I know what you’re gonna say—-but for real, there’s no REASON for her neck to look that retarded. She’s fighting for her life, not competing in a RETARDED NECK COMPETITION!!!!

9. I can’t tell based on the picture what is behind her because it’s all out of focus (AND BLURRRY) but I HOPEEEEE they’re TREES. Cuz what if its just like green and brown PAINTINGS of trees?!! That would suck SO MUCH. I wanna give the director the benefit of the doubt that they’re real trees and not just shitty paintings of trees, but based on how fucking STUPID everything else about this picture is, I BET ITS JUST PAINTINGS!!!!!!!! Ugh. Fuck this fucking movie. 

10. Everything. Just everything. Even her nose. I mean, THATS what we’re supposed to believe Katniss’ nose looks like? Ummmmmmmmmmm okay.

In conclusion, I can not WAIT to see this movie, I’m gonna bawl so much.

tumblrbot asked: WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?

I would love to go back to Italy

My dad got pulled into a back room for a security pat down. Either A he looks like a terrorist, or B he was randomly picked as a cover because they were randomly picking the Muslim guy in the other security line.

Sunglasses speed in the ocean= .1 mph

Sunglasses speed on my face in the ocean= 57,000 mph

R.I.P. Knock off sunglasses I bought for 10 dollars and were eaten by the ocean 6 hours later

Myrtle Beach must have a huge middle age sex ring because I have seen two news stories about middle age people having a higher than average rate of stds, and encouraging everyone to wear protection even when with middle age people.

Which brings me to a completely related story, I saw a certain ex at the airport and I think she was apart of the large group wanting to get on my over booked flight.

Myrtle Beach in general has crappy phone service.

I had my picture taken with mermaids, awaiting the results of dna testing to confirm the validity of their claims. Also after the pictures I got a sucker from the bucket for little kids bc I am a total man-child.

I completely over slept, which feels like a shame but really all I missed was over sleeping on the beach.

The general interest in the hula hoop contest: little

The general interest in the hula hoop after girls my age in bikinis enter: extremely high

Being in a tourist town makes me see people that make me understand the terrorists hate for us. This statement is aimed at a lot of horrible parents with monsters, and old people who hate everything.

I saw a guy who brought his own putter to putt-putt. He also was average. If you bring your own putter you better be ballin-out-of-control because if not you look ridiculous.

The hotel’s pool security guard is wearing pants like that is what is missing for me to respect him. It’s like wow that guy has a silly job, o wait he is wearing pants! That guy is boss.

There is a pool accessory I am dying to use for my introduction into planking.

The guy using a magazine and sunglasses is correct to assume this is a good way to hide checking out girls. Well he was correct, until he lowers the magazine and follows the girls butt with his eyes.

I received a body surfing related injury.  No one will respect that.

The ocean stole my sunglasses again.  It thinks if it takes my sunglasses every day I wear them in it I will quit wearing them in the ocean.  You are wrong ocean! I am an American so I don’t solve problems.  I just throw money at them! (Tomorrow I will buy another pair that I will wear in the ocean.)

We (America) always blame the Middle East for oil issues. One issue with this if the fact of our number 1 oil source. The number one place we get oil from is: (really hard to be climatic in a blog) CANADA. They also have the world’s largest oil reserve (and possibly the largest). So basically we should just absord Canada. Look Canada, I’m on to you and your games. You are making a power move for America. You all live by our border to be ready for a quick attack. Also, you all are trying to spread the universal health care silliness, and marijuana being accepted. Canada you are attacking America and I won’t take it! How will I protest? By being an american!!!
Aka ignoring your oil sands and refusing to take you serious. Hahahahahahaha Canada, you can’t compete with America

A woman jogging went to talk to the lifeguard. They talked some while watching and doing their job. An older (angry) woman walked up and said “are you two the supposed lifeguards” they responded yes, and after a 10 second pause where they didn’t ask why she said supposed she assumed she should go ahead an answer the question anyways.
Woman=W man lifeguard=ml lady lifeguard=ll and random thoughts will go in parethesis
W: I say supposed lifeguards because you two are suppose to be doing your job instead of talking to each other.
(This means lifeguards should be lone wolfs who never communicate. A. They should throw their walkie talkies in the ocean and B. They should never communicate updates and warnings to each other. Well wait, after they throw the walkie talkies in the ocean they will have to save them since it is their job, but then they should be tossed hastily on the sand. Well then I guess they have to verbally reprimand themselves and put the walkie talkies in the garbage because they are responsible for detering littering. Yeah this 3 minute dialogue will turn into a three novel series.)
Ml: I’m sorry mam
W: I have grandkids (they will be mentioned a lot more) and I brought them here and now you aren’t paying attention. I have witnessed you not paying attention, and I have witnessed people needing assistance and you weren’t paying attention, and I witnessed it! (I assume she is a jehovahs witness who is in the witness protection program solely because she loves the word so much.)
Ll: ma-
W:(turns back to ll because she will respond in an appropriate manner when dealing with a lunatic) I WILL be writing a letter to the mayor about this (she accented weird words and doesn’t realize the mayor doesn’t care) He will hear about your negligence. People were out there needing help and you ignored them. I have my grandkids here. What if my grandkids needed help?
Ml: i-
W: people were waving their arms for help and you didn’t care! You are putting my grandkids in danger! (At this point I realize she left her grandkids alone by the ocean and was distracting the lifeguard) people were needing help and you ignored them!
Ll: (starts to look around out of boredom)
W: you need to look now to see if people need help
W & ml: (make over exaggerated looking poses, w bc she is silly, ml bc he already did a million times during the conversation but had to show her to help a little)
Ml: m-
W: it looks like they figured it out, but you need to watch in case they need help again, my grandkids might need help
Ml: i-
W: (walks off)

Moral of the story is apparently people are drowning and then their family waves back and it saves their life and it makes them so happy they continue boogie boarding in celebration. Also the lifeguard was talking to a lady lifeguard who was off duty and she was attractive. So even if he was distracted I wouldn’t care bc I support another guys swag. What makes it bad is the fact that they were both watching so it was double team that she complained about.
