Is it Raining?

I just watched a commercial for Hyundai and it was highlighting their newest selling point: RAIN DETECTING WINDSHIELD WIPERS (I don't really know what it's called in English-is there a word/term for a rain detecting windshield wiper though?)

Ummmm.... do we really need this? If you're driving and it's starts to rain and you can't tell- maybe you shouldn't be driving.

Also, how hard is it to turn on your own wipers? Are people injuring themselves trying to switch the wipers on?

I just don't understand why we are so lazy? Excuse me, I have to go look for the tv remote because getting up to switch the tv manually would be too much effort.

Sorry, I'm in a really pissed-off mood. I get pissed off whenever I turn on the TV: Stupid commercials, stupid TV Shows, and STUPID NEWS.

And here's one I'd like to share. But first of all, I wonder if anybody here loves potato chips? I'm not much of a "salt" person-I'm more into tic tacs.
A ten year-old boy somewhere in South Carolina LOVES potato chips -so much that when his 9 year old sister wouldn't share her bag with him he went inside the house and got his father's loaded shot gun and shot her in the face.

The sister is still alive and has undergone extensive plastic surgery. The parents of the children say the little boy loves his sister but he was just not taking his medication for hyperactivity. And since you probably already know my English is not really that good-is there another definition of "love" I'm unaware of?

Oh did I mention that the boy had pulled the gun on his cousin in the past- but don't worry it wasn't loaded that time.

I hope we all find love as deep as this little boy's love for potato chips.

Love, Rara

p.s. Don't have guns in the house!

p.s.s. Don't have LOADED guns in the house!

p.s.s.s. Don't have guns at all!

p.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s. Don't have children!

The windshield wiper thingie, I don't think it's a stupid idea, in fact, I think it's a godsend (though, I'd rather not involve myself with any religion :-p)

You know, sometimes, when you're driving, and there's a small rain.. it's not big enough so that you need to turn on the wiper on the slowest speed, cos it's still too fast for the small rain, but you still need to occasionally turn it on. So you end up turn it on and off. Now, wont you just wish that there's a slower speed setting for the wiper. How about a wiper that can automatically adjust it's speed according to how large the rain is.
Now, it's not really important and a must have item. But, it's convenient.
And being convenient is a good thing. You wont get annoyed as much. the happier the driver, the safer the driving experience is. hehehe..

"I hope we all find love as deep as this little boy's love for potato chips." Great quote! That's an unbelievable story though!

That's great! I mean it is so much trouble to flip the knob, right? Are we that lazy. And no- there is no other word for rain-detecting-windshield wipers!

My first reaction is to say "only in America" do people need to show off a gadget to turn on their windshield wipers and have such precociously well-developed sense of greed that even the very young will shoot their beloved sister to protect their own bag of whatever, especially when they do not have in their veins the latest profit-making potion of the pharmaceutical folks and have handy the ubiquitous product of the NRA Lobby. BUT then I think, sadly, it is a very contagious virus that is going around and maybe soon it will be hard to escape this craziness. THEN I see young people like you (and there ARE a few) who have some sense and I think hey, what the heck, it will be OK But y'all (Texas term) are the ones that SHOULD be fruitful and multiply - not, heaven forbid, THOSE

Maybe the potato chip people could use this for advertising: "What would you do for some Lays?" Shoot someone in the face?

yeah - not a good joke I know.

You have a wonderfully humorous way of writing! Your comments are just great!! I've not heard of the rain detecting windshield wipers.. so that's probably what they're called. The progression of your "Love Story" is wonderful!

you really crack me up...
That is a ridiculous story though...
I really wonder about this American generation who are so TV and video game addicted, ya know? They are exposed to sex and violence all the time on TV, yet people don't think that has an effect??? Geez...

You need a license to drive a car, to own a dog, even to get married..but when will they require you to have one before you start having children???
