Dear Society,

Let me begin by apologizing for the fact that I'm two glasses of wine deep and some of my verbiage may come across as aggressive, but the following rant should be absorbed from a comedic perspective - with a slight dose of reality.

So, let's get this started, human population! First, and foremost, let me start by asking: What... is going on?

Not to judge you, but things are getting a little ridiculous and it is all a result of us - the "peeps." I had a conversation with my dad a few months ago that revolved around there needing to be a "thinning of the herd" - now don't freak out, he's not a diabolical scientist, but a turnaround consultant. Don't know what a turnaround consultant is? Well, neither do I, exactly, but I know it's not violent - and I had always joked about it, but I'm starting to reconsider.

I'm never pro-death, but I am 100 percent pro-smacking some sense into an idiot. I'm not too sure where you went wrong society, but have you seen the news? You're making it depressing.

I don't even know where to begin, but then again who am I to judge you? Well, don't think that I'm some stay at home mom that has nothing better to do with their life, because I'm a 22 year old content writer that spends all day cruising the headlines - so, I know a thing or two-ish.

Well, let's begin with all the violence,

Over the past few weeks, I have seen the most obscene headlines, which are not at the fault of the news source, but rather the people CAUSING THE ISSUE.

Let's discuss this new "Knockout Game," this is not a game - nor has it ever been a game - you want to know what a real game is? Kickball, baseball, football, basketball - Oh, what's that? Those are "sports," you say? Then play some scrabble or hide n' go seek… the possibilities are endless and none of them involve running up behind someone and hitting them in the head so hard they lose consciousness.

I actually heard a quote of a kid who participates in the "knockout game," and he ACTUALLY said (with his face blurred), "It's just a fun game for the kids to go around hitting people, even though they shouldn't be doing that, it's still fun."
