Quit Complaining!

Times Writer

Oh man! It's spring break and I'm stuck with the flu and I get to look after my little sister who is just a wonderful little angel. This is of course ever teenager's dreams for the spring break, and I get to make them my reality. Oh joy. So I am especially touchy today, and that brings me to the point of my article!

Won't people quit complaining? You know what? It's not worth complaining over things like Why-passes. It's a pity that people have enough time to waste on things like that. God, if I had just half that amount of time all that whining takes, I would be so happy!

Do you think Whyville is going to let people pay for Why-passes in clams? That would help them out a lot! I mean, they could just take those thousands and thousands of clams to the bank every week and exchange them for US currency. Sure, that would solve all of their problems! Or you know what? They can just let everyone on and their computers will crash and then there will be no more Whyville! Wouldn't that make us all so happy? I mean, then no one could complain about how Why-passes are just a scam to get Whyville to get more money, because no one would need them!

There is a real world out there! It's tough! You have to make money some how, if you want to own a house, and feed yourself. I mean, sure it's great that you can depend on your parents to buy your clothes, and pay for all the things you'd like, but hey, that's not the real world! What if you didn't have any way to support yourself? What if you had to depend on the money you earned each day by doing your job? Guess what -- that's what the people who work for Whyville, who work for us, have to do!

Has anyone taken a look at the world lately? If you appreciate Whyville, then what should five dollars mean to you? Do you think that five dollars is a lot? Do you think that five dollars could solve each and every one of the problems in the world? Guess what? Your five dollars might not stop the bombings on the other side of the world, but it might make you a bit happier, and that might solve a few people's problems.

Guess what? I'm not done! I am sick of people who complain about how they need more clams, and how City hall shouldn't charge for this or for that! Let's all take a reality check! Do you think you can say, "No I'd rather not pay my taxes this year?" You could, but look at the outcome. Do you think you can say to people, "No, I'm not going to pay that much for such and such an item, because I don't have that much money?" You can't!

Whyville is about learning, hands-on. We should be grateful for that. I, at least, know that I prefer a lot to sitting in a desk, because then I fall asleep. If Whyville were just any other chat site, I think they'd let you chat the first five days. But Whyville is about learning. So, they give you five days to discover what you can learn on Whyville.

I wish that some people would just stop complaining. I'd like to see you run Whyville and make a living. Who would you complain to then? I hope that some people just take a reality check.

Well, my 'rents are home, so I'm going to eat supper. This is Giggler01, oh sweet, I got Pad Thai!
