Operation Repo, Watch It

I watch a show that I think is worth everyone watching and that is Operation Repo which comes on Tru television. I know no one think it is funny about people things being repossed, but lets face it if you don't pay the bill then you know what will happen. We all hate the fact that someone will come and take ours cars or other things we our making payments on for non payment in front of our friends, neighbors or family. What I like about Operation Repo is that it does not matter who your are or where you live they come to get them item that the bank has asked them to collect. The show is out of California which makes it even more interesting because these guys have to get repossession from some people that claim they have money and make more than the people repossessing the cars but they still have failed to pay these notes. They stand arguing about their rights in front of the cameras saying that they have paid their payments and it must be some misunderstanding. I find it funny because they all say the same story but these reposesors have their names from the bank notice and in some instances have keys. They explain to the owner how they can call the collector and work it out and all they are their for is to repo the item they are told to. It becomes very irritating for the repo persons because in some cases there are crowds around and they have to keep people from attacking them all while protecting the camera man who life is sometimes also in danger. I think this show is great because when they travel to these very rich neighborhoods and get Vachel's from people who seem to have it all, it great to see they have the same problem as you and I. I know it is frustrating to people to have their things reposed, I myself have been through it but I knew they would eventually get my vehicle because I was not making my payment, so what I did was keep the vehicle empty so in case they did come and get it there was nothing I needed out of it. I knew it was going to be gone if I could not catch up on my payment so I was not at all surprise, however my pride was hurt when my family had to see my vehicle being taken and that is the problem with a lot of these persons who are on operation repo, they are embarrassed that their family see their vehicles being taken. I am a huge fan of the some and think they should put in on a prime televison channel like ABC, NBC or CBS. CBS is known for picking up shows like this, they could get this show put it on Sundays to replace no longer having amazing race or survivor and I am sure their ratings would rise. I think everyone would benefit from watching the show because they would know that they are not alone in having an item reposed and how not act or even how to act. They have had a few instances when these collectors had people pull guns out on them and it was a very scary situation but they did the smart thing and pulled out and called the police, but they have also had instances in which people calmly gave them the key to the vehicle and told them to take the item they were waiting for them. In any case it is a show worth watching and a show that should get more credits for what they do. I what to say keep up the good work and I would like to see other repo's done in other states as well as California, it is in my opinion the next big thing in television. With a show like this you do not think about race or culture, you notice that people of many different races and cultural act the same way when it comes to a item being reposed. I was very shocked when I saw an Asian guy going off on one of the collectors and acting irate and jumping up and down on the vehicle refusing to stop threatening them until the cops came and then his entire attitude change. Give me more Operation Repo so I can have a show worth watching, and I think the Repo guys should have some kind of protection, their job is hard enough without them having to face gun carrying thugs.

What is Considered right and wrong in the U.S?

I have often wonder what is considered right and wrong in the United States and have found myself at a lost. What such a country that judges some so harsly can barely look at others and their faults. Lately the target has been Tiger Woods who apparently had some affairs on his wife, something that has been happening with man since they have been on earth, so it leaves me to wonder why has americans made Tigers affairs bigger than life. We have others who have been caught in multiple affairs, one that comes to my mind is Charlie Sean. He is suppose to be a sex addict, whatever that mean, and is getting help for the many of women he keeps having affairs with while he is married to an already beautiful woman. Nothing is said of Charlie's constant cheating on his spouses, it is something that everyone acts is okay and they make excuses like what more do you expect of Charlie Sean. My question is why is it expected of Charlie Sean and if he chooses to sleep around why does he not do like George Clooney, someone whom I respect for having the guts to admit he does not want to get marry because he enjoys sleeping around with different women and while sleeping around with these women he treats them right, a man after my own heart. While continuing to speak on this country judgements, what is up with Alec Baldwin, the man who thought it was okay to call up his daughter and leave some very nasty messages to a child is something I will never understand. He came on television said how people did not know the whole story and blew the entire situation out of porpotion and we are to believe that? I heard the man in a very angry voice say some very ugly words to a young child, but yet america goes on and on about what Kanye West did to Taylor Swift was so horrifying they could not believe it, how could he hurt this eighteen year old feelings like that. I do not agree what Kanye did but what about Alex Baldwin who cursed out his own teenage daughter, can anyway say this child will need some thearpy from this abuse she received from her own dad. As we continue on I think about what makes a hero in America, I am confused on this one by far. We are told that a hero is someone we can look up too and be proud of because they lead the life that America was establish on, they do for those who can not do for themselves, they follow the good book and their life represents the words written in this book. I think about celebrities and how they are protrayed, we know that actors are just that actors but they are role models to our children and what they do our children are more likely to follow. We have had actors who were kicked off televison because the got a DUI and yet we have had actors who gotten DUI's and have killed a person, "Prison Break", and was continue to act on the show until trial came up, we have actors who were caught fighting a Christmas tree in Japan, "24hrs", and still remain to be the leading actor and my biggest embrassement is Robert Downey Jr. a drug addict who has went to jail again and again and again but yet somehow he continues to make movies. Robert Downey Jr. is a drug addict and no one denies it because you can not but he is doing hero movies like Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, did Sherlock do drugs? Please do not tell me this it would disappoint a true Sherlock fan like me. Robert Downey Jr has been made a hero in America so how do we explain to our children that this so call hero can do drugs, go to jail, get out, sleep around with prostitues, abandon his son and continue to not be question when he does a movie about a super hero or an hero of any kind. We get great actors who can not even be nominated for an academy award but a person who has been given help over and over for his drug habit continues to be acknowledged. I watched a judge tell Robert Downey Jr. how he will continue to end up in his court because it is apparent that he will not stop using drugs and the judge explained to him that he expects to hear that he is dead one day. I have that same feeling that Robert Downey Jr. will not stop using as long as he is alive and everytime he makes a movie I think about how much of it is going to drugs and does he use his money for any good, like feeding a hungry child or supporting a worthwile cause because the lord knows we have a lot of those. I do not make much money but I find that there are many causes and give to two I feel that my money can best help. If I made Robert Downey money I know that it would go to a lot of different causes and one of those would not be a crack pipe I would be smoking on, now maybe a drug recovery center that help those who really want to be helped.
