100 Reasons To Hate The Olympians 1. They don't use birth control. 2. They can't keep Stygian oaths. 3. They abuse their spouses. (Note: Hera, Hephaestus.) 4. They're not nice to the people to which they owe their rule. 5. They're suck-ish parents. We're not expecting live-in people here, but say, a child SUPPORT check, might be nice. 6. Tempers. Serious anger management needed. 7. Incest. I'm sorry, I had to say it. Zeus and Hera are brother and sister... and we thought Percabeth was bad? 8. They're rapists. Daphne much? 9. They blow stuff up on an extraordinary scale. 10. They cause natural disasters ON PURPOSE.

... That's ten reasons, not 100

We're supposed to add to the list, I think. 11. They use their children as...tools, pretty much.

15. They got in the way of THUKE. 16. They keep blowing up stuff. 17. They think Western Civilization is all there is. *eyeroll* 18. They have huge egos. 19. They haven't even been to college, except to pick up teenagers on the sly. 20. Expecting a sixteen-year-old boy to face Kronos by himsel fwith no outside help other than that of other teenagers, is unrealistic and could cause damage to multiple parts of the continental United States, which the gods should have a vested interest in protecting. 21. The war with the Titans should not be the demigods’ fight alone, or perhaps their fight at all. Olympus needs to take over, they destroyed the Titans the first time, it’s their job to make they remain destroyed. 22. Leaving your children unclaimed for a period of years, no matter what reason the parent had, is cruel and dangerous because it leaves the child embittered, angry, and very likely to fight in a war against the gods’ enemies because they see no other option. Claim all unclaimed children as soon as this parchment is agreed to or sooner, regardless of whether they have sided with the Titans or with Olympus. 23. Continuing on number 6, if the demigod does indeed join the Titans, in no way should the demigod be killed or harmed in any way unless there are extenuating circumstances, possibly like allowing the Titan Lord to take over your body, which shall be determined by the demigods’ council in a majority vote, not by Olympus. Instead, the demigod shall be offered sanctuary, and forgiveness, and if force becomes necessary, all effort will be made not to harm them seriously and if possible, they will be humanely taken as well-treated prisoners, and dealt with by their fellows as they see fit, according to the Geneva Convention. 24. A god’s actions, if not in accordance with the new law code of Olympus, which half-bloods will also oversee the rewriting of, will be decided upon in law courts at which impartial judges, such as mortals who can see through the Mist, shall take place. 25. The gods need to learn that free speech is obeyed in this country over which they now rule. If someone wants to insult the gods or their actions, i.e. “Zeus is crazy”, they should be able to do so without getting struck down by lightning. Mortals get to make fun of their President, after all. 26. Freedom to do what they want without being killed or hunted down by an immortal is also required. For example: If a daughter of Athena and a son of Poseidon want to date, they should be able to do so without fear of their lives from their significant other’s parents. This applies to many other, broader and less infamous examples. (A/N: Annabeth totally wrote this. XD) 27. If an immortal is found to have assaulted in any way or killed a mortal or demigod, they shall have broken the rules of this parchment and be arrested. The gods’ love affairs may be their private lives, but mutual consent and all other mortal laws of sexual harassment or assault, including statutory rape, must be obeyed. For example: There is no reason for Apollo to date a fifteen-year-old girl; he is thousands of years old, even if he doesn’t act like it. 28. Consequences for breaking these laws may include bans from dating and being forbidden to visit their significant godly other by the River Styx, and/or losing their voice for nine years. If the immortal refuses to drink from the River Styx, Camp Half-Blood reserves the right to attack Olympus. 29. All prayers in which children are screaming for their lives are to be answered immediately, and with an actual saving, not something along the lines of being turned into a pine tree or transported to Calypso’s island where upon they will be forced to choose between saving the world or escaping their prophecy. 30. So-called “natural” disasters caused by the anger one of the Olympians are to cease, as are all other catastrophic events caused by them. Perhaps the Olympians may consult a therapist or family counselor to deal with their anger in a more productive manner. 31. The demigods are real people, and their struggles and quests are not mere “entertainment.” Filming every moment of their lives, private or otherwise, for the entertainment of their parents and family, is annoying, cruel and mean. Therefore, the reality section of Hephaestus TV is to be shut down as soon as possible- “possible” meaning as soon as it can be shut down, not by the end of the season or when Olympus has gotten tired of the network. This shall be supervised by Charles Beckendorf. ...I rock, don't I? XD
