Judge Judy

A high-rated TV Judge that likes to berate and talk down to her "litigants" in her courtroom with her annoying New York accent. She says things like "Do I have stupid written across my forehead?" She calls people idiot, moron, dumb and dumber, and "genious" (being sarcastic) among others.
Judge Judy, wheather you love her or hate her, is the highest rated Judge on tv and has been on the air longer than any of them.

suburb

Where you live when you dont want to live in the inner city. It's a place of mostly middle-class homes, Walmart, soccer moms, SUVs, strip malls and the homes of corporate bigwigs. Suburbs in the United States began to spring up during the post WWII years as families left the central cities for a quieter, safer and more relaxed lifestyle. However some suburbs are just as poor as the inner-city itself. According to the US census, the number of persons living in the suburbs now outnumbers those in the central cities.
Most Americans would probably rather live in a suburb than in the crime-infested inner city.

Northwest Airlines

The absolute worst airline in the world to fly known for bad customer service. They treat their passengers like crap and overcharge for lowsy service. You have to pay for just making a reservation itself, for a soda, pillows, blankets, to check in your bag and almost to even use the toilet. When asked by an employee to help you, they role their eyes and speak in a condescending manner. When your trip is over they stick a broomstick up your ass and tell you to beat it.

The carrier is the 5th largest in the U.S. and is headquartered in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. It has major hubs in Detroit, Memphis and Amsterdam with focus cities in Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, Indianapolis, Washington DC and Boston.
Northwest Airlines is disgusting but I will only fly them when I have to.

industrial revolution

The period of technological innovation in the world that began in England in the 1800s and spread to America during the Reconstruction Era immediately after the Civil War. One major effect was the genesis of middle class America as people took jobs in emerging industries and new industrial plants. Before the industrial revolution there were only two social classes in the United States: wealthy (many were slave owners) and poor agrarian families. The wealthy at that time were hardly wealthy by today’s standards.

It’s believed that the invention of the printing press sparked the revolution, leading to the creation of the steam engine, followed by industrial plants and technological innovation. The industrial revolution then sparked the emergence of big business and capitalism as people found employment opportunities in new industries and industrial plants, attracting people to urban areas. The textile industry, mining, the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare, the insurance industry, power plants, retail industries and the steel industry are just a few industries that emerged during the industrial revolution. Thanks to the emergence of the steel industry, the world’s first “skyscraper” emerged in Chicago in the 1880s. Then came the invention of the car by Elwood Hayes of Kokomo, Indiana; and the airplane by the Wright Brothers of Ohio; and then television and radio; and then the rocket by Robert Goddard and the space age; the birth of the microchip and the computer; mass communications, and then Big Brother and the internet--all of these were effects of the industrial revolution that greatly changed our society and lead to the current “second industrial revolution.” In less than a century mankind went from being a strictly agrarian, slave-owning society to landing on the moon.

Key events during the Revolution:

The invention of the lightbulb and phonograph by Thomas Edison, the invention of the telgraph by Samuel F.B. Morse, the invention of pills and elixirs by Colonel Eli Lilly (Eli Lilly and Co. pharmaceuticals), the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell, the beginning of the retail industry with Sears-Roebuck, the unification of America's railroad in Promontory Point, Utah, Andrew Carnegie and the Steel Industry, John Rockefeller and the oil industry, etc.
From the Garden of Eden to the mid 1800s, the world changed very little. But with the Industrial Revolution, mankind went from being a agrarian society to one that can talk to someone on the other side of the world—or the moon--in mere seconds.

entitlement

Believing you are automatically owed something by society thanks to lies from Democrats, Socialists and Liberals. Usually comes in the form of handouts: universal healthcare, the redistribution of wealth, reparations for blacks, reverse discrimination against whites to benefit blacks, politicans voting themselves a payraise in the middle of the night, athletes getting paid $200 million for their "talent", affirmative action, welfare, social security, etc.

Entitlement has taght Generation-X and Generation-Y that they can have a lavish lifestyle of materialism that it took their parents YEARS to achieve. Young people (under 30) now have record debt as a result, and are buying homes they can’t afford, cars they can’t pay for and credit cards they can’t pay off. Entitlement has led them to having to live with mommy and daddy ‘til things improve financially.

in love

An infatuation. You can "fall" out of it just as fast as you can fall in it. A phrase that is often misunderstood today and used very loosly to the point of nearly loosing its meaning. Contrary to poplular belief, being in-love IS possible without the same affection in return. Just because someone doesn't love you back means you are not actually in love? Hogwash. You CAN indeed love someone unconditionally without being loved return. Being "in-love" does not occur by accident, because love is a choice and an action rather than an emotion, like most people believe. Howver, being in-love or loving a person romantically and unconditionally has a few symtoms:

1. getting butterflies in your stomach or nausea when you see the object of your infatuation.

2. your pulse races when you are with or near that person

3. you cant stop thinking about them

4. the can be in your dreams

5. you can't stop smiling when thinking of the person

6. you imagine having children with that person, perhaps to the point of thinking of names.

7. you imagine yourself going to the altar with that person

8. you have a longing to be with that person

9. you get clumsy when thinking of them

10. you think you will do anything to be with that person

11. you have pet names for each other.
Being in love is the best thing that happens to a person BUT can turn into the worst thing that happens to you when it doesn't work or goes bad.

Detroit

The capital of America's Rust Belt. The largest city in Michigan. People are leaving the city in droves and has caused an enormous population decline as a result. It isn’t one of America‘s 10 largest cities anymore. The population is around 800,000 presently after a high of 1.5 million in the 1950s but the metro area has about 4 million. Jobs are also leaving the city. It was the automobile capital of the world, but many companies have left the city for the suburbs. The latest was Comerica (a bank that Comerica Park is named after). It moved its headquarters to Dallas, the Big D. It’s Big Three and their huge labor unions have ruined this place. The auto industry, the city's largest continuously lays off workers and its pathetic labor unions bitch about “unfair” labor rules and alleged bad working conditions, despite the fact that they’re so overpaid with such little skill. Detroit has huge economic cycles--usually bad ones. As the saying goes, “When the rest of the nation gets a cold, Detroit gets pneumonia.“ The city itself is pathetic and is hardly on the rebound despite what manipulated reports say. This place builds huge casinos and has the audacity to call this “redevelopment” while the rest of its 800,000 residents are living in poverty and slums with enormous rates of violent crime and drugs. Part of its scam to call itself redeveloped was by manipulating the NFL into getting to host the 2006 Super Bowl. The NFL didn’t want to come anywhere near Detroit but the city begged NFL team owners to host a Super Bowl there if they delivered on unreasonable promises, which have yet to occur. Even Detroit getting to host a Super Bowl was a scam in itself. The Super Bowl will never be there again. The NFL has said they will NEVER return to Detroit. How ironic, neither will its population exodus. Detroit is among America’s murder capitals and is anything but a liveable city that has yet to revitalize itself. It’s still America’s shit hole. Always has been and always will be. It should be incinerated and rebuilt.
Detroit is close to being the worst city in America. Just keep driving but pray your car doesn't break down in the city.
