You Can't Fix Stupid!
Ron White, the famous comedian, says it all best. You know, you just can't fix stupid! I belive that the statement he has made in his comedy routines is one of the funniest, but also one of the truest statements made. No matter where you go, or what you do, you will see the essence of stupidity lurking about, just waiting to strike unwary humans at a moments notice.
I think that we could carry this even one step further. Developing a business for over eight years now, I have come across some of the most stupid things, that I had no idea even existed until I started working online. Seemingly intelligent people falling for every trick in the book, thinking that they are going to get rich quick with some secret software download that some techno-geek has just discovered. Those that think that all they have to do in order to succeed online is to buy huge email lists, and blast out their ads to two billion people. Out of those 2 billion emails, someone is going to buy their little one of a kind business models, right? Or how about the newest set of stupid people on the planet, the East Indian programmer spammers, who incessantly try to convince everyone that they have special talents, unbeknown to anyone else about marketing online. Hey Habib, you guys are just about 20 years behind the good old USA. That was tried years ago. It did not work then, and it will not work for you incessantly little critters today, either.
All in all, there are few legitimate ways to work and prosper online. You need an education in the process, and you need to build a business with integrity. If you are trying to do anything but that, then you friend, are the perfect candidate for You Can't Fix Stupid!

On the link above, I have created a thread at the Warrior Forum. This topic is something that I feel should be addressed to the average user of WordPress in order to build some type of presence on the Internet. This was all done in the name of research and marketing. I personally have nothing against WordPress, but I do pay attention to my business, and when I notice that my Alexa.com ranking starts to drop from using a blogging system like WordPress, it is time to roll up my sleeves, and find out the reasons for this happening.
From actual experience over the years in working with WordPress, I do know that unless one takes time to take out the bad code and links that are found in ALL WordPress blogs, you will be promoting for other people. Now in my line of work, I want to get paid for that type of service. I am not prepared and sit idly by while some programmer sneaks in the back door of my blog, and profits from my supposed good looking site.
Another fact is that there are software programs out on the Internet, blog spamming software, that literally can overtake the comments section of WordPress. Of course, the remedy there would be to simply turn off the comments, which I have done on all of my blogs. I have no time or interest in approving spam coming out of India about Viagra. That is a total waste of time when I could be writing content to serve my purpose much better.
In our culture today on the Internet, we have people from all walks of life trying to break into the mysteries of the Internet, and are simply trying to find the magic button to wealth, happiness, relationships and a myriad of other topics. Many will choose blogging as an excellent way to accomplish this. It takes me back years ago, when WordPress did a massive cleanup campaign against affiliate marketers, and SEO. They claim that the exclusive use of WordPress for promoting purpose was no longer to be tolerated; however they chose to keep all the porno WordPress in full operation. I have yet to figure out that line of thinking other than sex is just another way to keep the masses subdued, while the real takeover is coming over them without even being aware.
At Veretekk, we answer the needs of the modern day entrepreneur by providing them with everything they need to achieve whatever level of success they desire. We are cutting edge in our approach, and also, from the Corporate side of Veretekk, we simply work harder than everyone else, in brining these new and innovative ideas that are available for only $54.95 on the Gold System Upgrade.

YOU JUST CAN'S FIX STUPID
YOU DO KNOW, THAT YOU JUST CAN'T FIX STUPID, RIGHT?
In these editorial based articles, when I come across stupid thisg, things that just do not quite fit, things that serve to just perplex the hell out of you, then surely, that is fuel for my writing fire.
Today, I am going to write about the insurance company called State Farm, you know, the Good Hands People, right? Well, I am not sure about your dealings with this company, but I am going to fill you in on my experience with them. From the insurance company, State Farm, whom I have my insurance with, right on down to the adjusters, and the so called customer support people that I dealt with during a pipe break, that resulted in the total flooding our our apartment.
February 03,2011 5 AM
I was working on my Internet businesses at 5AM. I heard a loud cracking and splitting noise, and I wondered what neighbor had dropped, or exploded something in their apartment. Approximately two minutes later, I saw a wall of water coming out from behind the dining room table. I knew at that point that a water line had frozen and broken, due to the 0 degree weather that we have been having here for about a week now.
Suddenly, the water flow became stronger, and the leak began to come in from the bathroom, and the bedroom walk in closet. Within moments, the entire apartment was flooded with about 2-3 inches of water. I was standing inside the closet, and the lights went out. I struggled to find a light of some type, while me, with we feet in 0 degree water made my way to a location where I though would be a flashlight. I did find the light, and was literally shocked at the amount of water that had flowed into the apartment.
I heard voices coming from outside the apartment, so I made my way to the front door, and found that the City Fire Department was on the scene, and were inside the apartment in front of me, doing some type of work. One of the fireman came over to me, and asked if I had a little water in my apartment as well. Naturally, I responded negatively to his ignorant comment. Here I am standing outside with wet feet, in 0 degree weather, and this clown is making jokes. Can you fix stupid?
The apartment manager of the apartment was on site, and came over to look at my damage. Her first words were that not to worry, she would see that everything was taken care of for us. She was going to have her maintenance crew come in that morning, and extract all the water. At that point, I did tell her that I had renters insurance, and she said that it was her responsibility to try and help us in any way possible. I said fine, and thanked her for her response and offer.
By 5:15 am, the apartment was completely flooded, and everything that was on the floor was wet. There was really nothing I could do about this as the fire department had all the utilies shut off at that time, so I called My wife, who was sitting with my grand-daughter, to come and pick me up. She was literally devastated at hearing what had gone on. By 5:30, she and my grand-daughter arrived, and she could not believe what she was seeing. Her distress was felt, and she was at the point of breaking up over this occurrence.
By 5:45 AM, we left the apartment, and made our way over to my daughter's home. Fortunately, we did have somewhere to go, because if we had not, we would have been forced to find a motel for the next several days. Now, keep in mind when I bought this so-called great insurance from the State Farm people, they told me that they would take care of everything, should something happen. Did State Farm do that? LMAO!
February 03, 2011 9:00 AM
I tried to call Rhonda Greathouse Insurance to report what had happened. There was no answer, nor an emergency answering service, so I had to wait until 10 AM in order to speak with them. Hmmm...so much for the Good Hands People? I guess?
I told them what had happened, and honestly, the first person I spoke with had no concern about our plight at all. She began telling me what they would NOT do, rather than trying to help me, like I had been told when purchasing their insurance (State Farm) over a year ago. This only served to fuel my fire, as when I get angry, I go into full blown professional stealth mode.
I informed her that we needed help, and we needed to KNOW what to do NOW! She told me to not touch anything, and she would get back with me in a short while. That short while was several hours later.
12 Noon
My wife made her way back to the apartment, to assess the damage further. She found that the XXXXX Maintenance crew had come and extracted the water. They damaged one of our new couches, as they laid a wet massaging pillow on it. My wife found that our small floor freezer had begun to thaw, and the valuable meat and vegetables was basically ruined. This was a direct result of the flood damage.
She inspected the closet contents, and found that her luggage, which was sitting on the floor was wet, as well as many clothes and towels as well. When she came back to the house, I called once again, to speak with the State Farm Rep. I did get another person, and told the same story to them. They were not very helpful as well, and did inform me that they would NOT pay to have My wife and I put up in a motel. She also informed me NOT to move anything, including the thawing meet, until the adjuster had time to come and look at the damamge.
When I asked how long that would take, she said possibly 4-7 days. Well, my temper flared once again, and I began to badger these people, as I could tell that they were definitely NOT on my side in this issue. Another prime example of YOU JUST CAN'T FIX STUPID.
At the same time, My wife discovered that the XXXXX Crew had left our apartment completely WIDE OPEN, with no thought of locking anything. This further frustrated me at the XXXXX's total lack of caring in this matter, was approaching that of State Farm Insurance, you know, the goods hands people, right.
Februray 04. 2011
We made our way back over to the apartment at about 11 AM. We decided to come and assess further the damage, and found that the meat and vegetables in the freezer was totally thawed now. There was also a stagnant, or musty smell in the apartment.
I got on the phone once again, to see if I could stir up some action. The third representative that I spoke with asked me if anyone had filed a claim? I said that I had reported this incident on two occasions, but no one said whether they had filed a claim or not
She informed me that a claim would be filed, and I would be notified later that day by the office. 4 PM comes around, and still no word from anyone. Now, this is day 2, on Friday afternoon, at 4 PM. Do you really think that they were going to do something at that time.
I get intense at this point, and demand to talk with Rhonda Greathouse, the agency owner about my situation. She was placid and condescding to me, and informed me that these things just take time to resolve. She did say that they would NOT put up my nor My wife in a motel, until this situation was resolved. She also informed me that the APARTMENT COMPLEX was responsible for my loss, NOT THEM!!! I simply asked the great Rhonda Greathouse, then why do I buy insurance from you?. She really had no response to that question.
Obviously, I have gotten nothing but the run around, from both the State Farm Insurance office, and the XXXXX Apartment office as well; however, the manager of XXXXX, did tell me that if we would gather all of our wet clothes up, and bring them to the laundry room, that they would pay for us to wash them! OMG, how considerate are these folks???
5 PM
MR STATE FARM ADJUSTER called me and the first question that he asked, is am I have a great day today? I could tell that this was not going to end in a happy scenario.
He asked me if the apartment was still flooded. I said that XXXXX had extracted the water. He then asked me what I wanted him to do? I politely, (well almost) said that I wanted him to come and assess the damage. He informed me that since the water was extracted, there was basically nothing that he could do, and he also said that the damage would probably not exceed the deductible. He is another prime example of the total disregard and unprofessionalism in the insurance industry that I have eperienced so far. I guess you really CANT FIX STUPID!
Basically, to sum this all up, one person is telling me that the other party is responsible, and here My wife and I are faced with doing the whole job by ourselves. Here we are on day 5, and literally no action has been taken except by XXXXX, and that was really negligible.
So, why do I buy insurance? Not a clue at this point!
Today, March 11, 2011
The final phase of this story begins at about 10 AM this morning. Two guys appear at the apartment, and introduce themselves as the cleanup guys. Ok, fine, but they are going to cleanup what? After all, its been like nearly a month and a half since the flood and seriously, we have done almost all the work ourselves. They asked if we had some flood damage. I rolled, as seriously, its been so long now that I cannot remember what has happened in that time frame.
So, the story continues. They ask if they can come in an assess the damage. Now, keep in mind, the month and a half time span that has been spent. I say no, you will need to come back at three.
Do not leave yet, as this story just gets better and better.
The come back at 3 PM, amazing feat that. They walk in, take a quick look around, and head immediately out to their pickup for supplies. The guy comes back in with a hand sprayer in hand, and prepares to spray something, who knows what it is? I ask, what is the stuff that you are going to spray? He says, its just something we use to take care of the mold. I said ok, but what is it? He looks rather puzzled at my qustion, but after all folks, I am not a moron. I have no idea what these guys are going to spray in my apartment, right? He goes back out to the truck and comes back in with a package of chemical. I ask again, what is this, and is it safe for my family. Now, pay attention. This guy says, well, we have to get small pets away from it, as it can be hazardous to them.
So, I say well, my three year old is pretty small, how about her? This guy says, ah, it will be fine. I say, not in my apaprtment you don't. He goes, well, its your option you know. I say, yeah, everything is my option, you know?
Yet another exmple of YOU JUST CAN'T FIX STUPID FOLKS.
Summary. If you are buying insurance, and want to be protected, or at least somewhat protected, then I would NOT buy State Farm Insurance. They are the good hands people, remember? The remind me the song they sing, Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is there! Obviously NOT!
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID
IBUZZ PRO AUTOMATED PHONE DIALERS
Ok, let's get one thing straight before I address these jerk offs that use IBUZZPRO and other automated phone dialing systems that call everyone's phone, and make claims that have nothing behind them but smoke and mirrors.
I am a dedicated and conscientious entrepreneur on Google. I give people good information about the products and services that I sell, and I never make any claims about getting rich quick, getting rich with no effort and all the other absolutely stupid claims that stupid people make via websites on Google. Me and my team work hard every day to do one thing, and one thing only. We provide great information. Now, whether you choose to use that information and buy something is totally up to you. We do not endorse or use spam, automated phone dialers, misrepresentations of any kind about the goods and services that we sell. Oh yeah, we are straight up front with our leads and prospects and we expect everyone else to run their businesses the right way.
Enter IBUZZPRO Automated Dialers
I take personal offense at these so called super marketers who are using, and trying to sell IBUZZPRO. They are invasive, stupid and nothing more than hot air and promises when they make the recorded calls that say, "Hey, I found your website on the Internet. It looks like you are trying to make money just like me. What if I could show you a way to make $6000 each and every day. Would that be worth a couple of minutes of your time?"
All I want to do is rope this joker, and drag them behind an F-150 for a mile or so, and try to wake them up. What hype. What lies. What cow plops. What morons. I think that they are a perfect match for the YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID WEBSITE!
Oh yeah, I push star 9 to opt out, but the thing is, I think I get more calls by doing that. They tell me that they are legal, but if you go to the FCC site and check, they are in direct violation of Federal Law. ALL of my phones are on THE DO NOT CALL LIST, and have been for some time, and yet, these jokers are allowed to make their calls at will.
So I have to ask the FCC a question. You people could stop ths, right? Then why in the world would you not put it to an end? Is your organization just made for THE CAN'T FIX STUPID site or what? Just asking, and not answering this hot topic. You, the Google reader must make your own call.
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID
You know, wherever you go, and whatever you do, you will come across the most stupid people, events, happenings, occurrences and a hodge podge of different silly things that happen to us in our lives. Honestly, this is not being disrespectful to the human race, but only giving some insights into the art and science of just being stupid.
For example, you have all had jobs right? You may have worked with an associate, or a partner, or someone else who basically was just plain old undeniably the biggest stupid person that you have ever been with, right? Oh, come on. Don't tell me that I am the only one that ever had that happen to!
Now, that is not the can't fix stupid part of the story. The utter stupidity is the fact that this person probably made more money than you, and was able to basically not do one productive thing with their day, but they were on time, and out the door at five o'clock, just like the bosses wanted. In other words, you, the hard working enthusiastic employee got little, and old can't fix stupid over there, got it all. You know folks, YOU JUST CAN'T FIX STUPID!
In this world of haves and have nots, we are all faced with dilemmas and problems within our lives. Oh yes, we all have the ability to overcome these problems, but its a fact that if you just play stupid, you can get away with anything at all. Take Bart Simpson. You know the I Didn't Do It King?
So what is the purpose of this site? It is meant to be entertaining, enlightening, thought provoking, and quite possibly could be inspirational, if you did deeper into the site and lead capture pages that I promote.
Who knows? MAYBE YOU CAN FIX STUPID? By the way, come and visit igsdt.com and take a look at one popular site. The traffic is through the roof, and catch the vids by Ron White for a laugh or two!
