#FirstWorldProblems

America's biggest problem is that we don't have any. Okay maybe we have a few, but the citizens aren't complaining about the struggling economy or our foreign policy nearly as much as they complain about just plain stupid shit. For instance, there is a girl in a couple of my classes that does nothing but gossip. She is the epitome of an attention whore and can't seem to shut up for more than thirty seconds about all the shit that Jenny was talking and how boys don't treat her like a fucking princess. I just get so sick and tired of hearing all this bullshit day in and day out that I've decided to make my very own post about it. American's are the worlds worst complainers and now we have nothing better to whine about so we have made up our own first world problems.

Let's define some key terms. First off, first world problems are not things that anyone should be talking about ever. They hold no precedence or relevance in any conversation and yet become the topic of many among our fine citizens today. A first world problem is far lower in severity to a third world problem and many of them are either A) not problems or B) small inconveniences that could be easily dealt with. For example, people always like to complain about driving. "Oh my god you would not believe the traffic! I must have hit every red light on the way over!!!" Really. That's it? You were maybe five minutes delayed from what your ideal arrival time would have been and now this is the topic of conversation? What I like to do to combat morons that insist on burdening me with their first world problems is put things in perspective. It's a really good way to shut them up. Had to stay up all night finishing your homework? At least you don't have AIDS. You see, AIDS is a real and pressing third world problem that needs serious attention. When you bring that shit up, you'd be surprised how quickly our first world friends shut up. 

I like to give credit where credit is due and so for this blog post I was inspired by comedian Louis C.K. He is a very funny man and I suggest you check out some of his work. You can find video of his act posted on YouTube. The clip that I am linking to, however, is an interview done on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien (or just plain Conan, I forget which). Anywho, it's pretty entertaining, enjoy!

Sorry, I had to add in that some girl in front of me just said, "God, I haven't had Twitter or Instagram for a day... Isn't that so annoying??" What a maroon.
