PC holidays
Maybe I am in the minority, but I dislike the trend of Holiday Parties, Fall Parties, instead of what they really are, which is Christmas parties and Halloween parties.

Judge decisions
Attention all you judges. People are getting tired of hearing that all these crimes that are assaulting charges and shootings. Judges are giving them parole or like five years then 30 days and they are out. Because a judge suspended the sentence and changed it later afterwards. Or seven years only means one yea. We as Americans need to make our judges and legal system accountable for putting the criminals back on the streets.
