The Ranting/Venting Forum

[HippieAnarchist]

Well, since the rather *ahem* "Unfortunate" termination of my previous forums (do to site problems and such) I've decided to launch my most successful forum back up again. So here it is!

You know what I hate? Those little Circus Peanut candies. You know the ones; they're just like eating a carrot flavored, synthetic piece of pacing Styrofoam, only much worse.

I actually had a rather unpleasant experience with this candy as a kid. I was at the Zoo (yes the zoo, not the circus) and I was chomping away at those orange pieces of plastic and all of the sudden this HUGE bee comes and lands in the bag, right on one of the peanuts. Well, I didn't see it, and I went on eating my candy when suddenly I feel something moving around in my mouth...THAT WASN'T MY TONGUE! "Holy Blarb" I thought. I motioned to my mother with tears i my eyes. It only took me the time to open my mouth that my mother saw just what the hell was wrong with me; there was a bee on my tongue! "Don't worry bubula" she said "I'll get it off". And she got it off alright, along with about half of my tongue. The bee stung my tongue just as she attempted to pull it off, only the stinger got stuck.. For seconds on end, my mother togged at the thing, not noticing that it was nailed into my mouth. And what could I do? I couldn't very well tell her that the bee was stuck; her entire hand was shoved in my mouth! (Wow) Finally, she got the bee out, as well as all the taste buds on the right side of my mouth. Nice, right?

Well, I spent a whole night in the hospital after that (With the swelling and all, it could be dangerous considering how close the sting was to my throat). A bunch of my pals came to see me, some with presents. But the cruelest (and must ironic) one I revived came when I got home. A package shipped all the way from my aunt in California. Inside? A book…and a BAG OF CIRCUS PEANUTS!

Oh what a sick aunt…

[Raulst]

You poor thing.

[HippieAnarchist]

I agree. I am a poor thing! But you know who I feel worse for? I'll give you a hint...

We rant all day and all night long about how much our jobs suck (I do, don't lie). But when it comes down to it all, who has to wipe up all shit of the world every single day? I'll tell you who. Toilet paper! Sure, the toothbrush's job isn't great either (especially Gary Sinise's toothbrush) but at least it doesn’t have to stick it's head into people's asses all day and night (You know, like what Nathan Lane used to do to score a lead). Now, some people will argue that a hole is a hole, but in my opinion the back end one is worse.

I'm still going to rant (how could I not?) but I think we should give voice to TP as well. After all the shit it goes through every day, it's only right...

[Raulst]

Haha, the dilemna of TP and toothbrushes.

You never seem to run out of things to rant about. It makes my life look too happy. o______O

[HippieAnarchist]

Well, I wouldn’t want to let you down now, would I? No. No I would not! So I won’t. Preparing….to…RANT!

You know what I hate? Lifetime TV movies.

“Oh Jonny. I’ve just found out that I’m pregnant. But it isn’t yours…it’s Lusia Strus’s . Yes, apparently she IS in fact a man. Also I’ve been cheating on you with your cousin …um…was it Freddie? Yes! It had to be Freddie! (You know, the transvestite who liked knifes and horrendous striped shirts that sit in the back of Good Will for centuries until some decrepit idiot decides to take it and use it as firewood, only it‘s flame resistant so they wear it instead ) for about 2 solid months now. But then I dumped his ass. Before hand I kinda gave him a key to the house so…um…you might wanna get the locks changed…Oh Shit! I forgot I mysteriously tripped over the gas pipe in the basement and it broke open just as I lighted a candle at the same time right by the out-dated and extremely dry jasmine plant and the neighbor’s cat! You know, the one with rickets? Oh our anniversary is ruined! Oh well…So what do you think of John Travolta? Because I think I like women now…”

*Cringes* Lifetime movies…*shudders* Oh how I wish that entire network was taken over by some sublime, skilled, and untimely superfluous writer who did in fact life on planet earth… I guess some things are just not meant to be.

[frogger4Christ]

k.....
Here's something that just pisses off:
A girl and boy at school showing that they actually love each other. I mean here i am working on homework and i see the girl flirting with the guy. The worst part is, they try to make it look like they're just friends. Girl, second smartest in the class, comes up to guy, "Whatssss the hhhhomework?" From what i saw the guy, who happens to be younger than the girl <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley8.png'> , acts like a clueless dope and actually tells her what the homework is. The girl starts touching him (on the shoulder and all that other stuff), and the guy pretends to "see it as offensive" and starts slapping her. Girl says in a seductive/sarcastic kinda way, "Stop it!" Of course he doesnt' listen and continues to slap her. And here I am sitting at my desk trying to work on math watching romance from two classmates younger than me!!! I'm like "Ooook, so i'm a single guy working on math and i see two younger folks flirting with each other as if I, or anybody else, isn't watching. Here's an idea, GET A ROOM!!!!!" School is for learning the 3 R's Reading, Riting, and Rithmatic, not Romance, Rollercoaster, and...........Resting together. *sigh* I guess there are people out there who have so much sexual desire that they end up flirting with whoever makes them horny. And that's what's pissing me off!!!!!

[WillPhanto1]

And on that note. ..
You know what's bugging the hell out of me? When people my age (19) and under have kids. Seriously, I'm not even old enough to drink or own a hand gun (remember, those two never go in that order) and the kid next to me at work is talking about his little girl. I mean, I can understand you getting too "hot" that you can't stand it, but can't people just take fifteen minutes to go "service" themselfs? I mean, people barely trust teenagers behind the wheel of a car, and yet we can some how take care of a kid. Not to mention most kids don't have the money to take care of a baby.

[frogger4Christ]

The continuation of what I was pissed about before:
It's one thing that a boy and a girl are flirting in the classroom, but it's another thing when they're flirting in front of the school during a school event. The school event was a track and field thingy. So here I am getting ready for my race, and what do I witness? The boy getting ready for his event with the girl behind him flirting with him again!!! Seriously if you two love each other so much, why don't you just marry each other already!!! You're already showing that you guys are perfect for each other. Just get married and start going crazy already!!!!! And that's what's pissing me off.

[killshot]

How dare people show affection in public! I am shocked and/or morally outraged at this behavior! /sarcasm

[spencer43]

What an outrage, Kids acting like kids. We should call the police to stop this behavior.

Well here are some flaws that I must point out. Marriage is a ritual for people who are in love (or live in a country where you dont have a choice its who ever your folks set you up with.). I can hardly imagine that a little flirtation in the school yard ends up to years in a relationship where the ultimate goal is marriage. Do you think so really?.

School is not just about learning the three R's, you my friend are sadly mistaken, school is about the development of the child to becoming the young adult, you learn more then just the 3 r's, I wonder why school teaches sex ed surly this doesnt fit into reading riting or rithmatic. They teach you how to socialize acceptably get along with friends and become a mature and fitting young adult. So when you finish not only are you intelligent but you are a socialy acceptable memeber of society.

Now I think that when you finally start to realize that girls are ok, and quite cute then you may be the one on the flirting end while others go eww get out I am trying to learn here.

So stop being jealous. <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley1.png'>

[HippieAnarchist]

You know what I hate? When movie characters get new actors in the sequel.

Let’s take this for an example:

The Mummy:

Rachel Weisz plays Evelyn Carnahan fantastically. And now…what have we here? Yet another sequel to a great film that frankly didn’t need one. And what’s more, Rachel Weisz WILL NOT be reprising her roll as Evelyn. Instead, they’ve thrown in random Hollywood bimbo Maria Bello (who can’t act to save her life, and is not in any way shape or form believable as a librarian and mother of a teenage boy). Doesn’t that name sound all wrong anyway? Maria? That sounds Italian or some sort of Spanish. What ever happened to the heavy British accent?

Maria(As Evelyn): Hola señor Rick.
Rick: I’ll admit, señor does sound profoundly sexy, but we’re in China, do you really think that’s appropriate?
Maria (As Evelyn): Ah…no…I have no money…
Rick: What?
Maria (As Evelyn): No…I no have no money…
Rick: It was funny at first, but this is starting to get ridicules. We have to go kill that mummy!
Alex : That’s all it is with you daddy! Mummys, Mummys, mummys! Why won’t you let me do my nails or just play with my dolls instead.
Rick: They’re called ACTION FIGURES!
Maria (As Evelyn): Small or large?
Rick: Huh?
Maria (As Evelyn): : No, I don’t speak English…no…I have no money…
Rick: What the f***?
Alex: What’s wrong with mom?
Rick: You see Alex, that’s what happens to people who turn gay…they sprout random Spanish accents. So if you ever turn gay, I’ll rip your f***ing tongue out and shove it in your ear hole so you’ll have to listen to yourself talk all womanly all day long!
Alex: That sounds almost as bad as having my period!
Rick: Crucified Christ! *takes gun and shoots himself*
Maria (As Evelyn): You like fries with that?

*Shudders* Bad acting…



*Please note I am not racist, sexist, or in anyway affiliated with any sort of hate group. I was merely trying to insinuate what a manly man from the 1920’s might think about homosexuality and the Spanish. No harm meant.*

[spencer43]

I must say you have alot that pisses you off.

[Zairak]

At least HippieAnarchist tries to be funny about it. Rants are always fun to read...

[spencer43]

Rants are funny when they are about serious topics, not things like new actors in movies. In most cases they are an improvement take the new James bond Daniel is much better then Peirce.

Kids flirting at school, three words "Get Over It".

[Zairak]

Maybe I should have clarified. I found the little movie skit HippieAnarchist made to be funny. As for the kids flirting at school, you're right. It's a far better thing for them to get used to the idea in a controlled environment anyway.

[spencer43]

Yeah I know what you mean, that stirred a laugh.

[frogger4Christ]

I'm not jealous I'm actually pissed off!!! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

[spencer43]

If you were the boy in that situation, you would not be pissed off.

[frogger4Christ]

*sigh* i give up.....it's almost midnight where i am and i don't want to fight

[V2NT1]

School is really not like that for all people...I suppose it also depends whether you go to public or private school, as well as the quality of the school and faculty.

While I do agree that molding children into acceptable young adults should be a priority of all educational systems, all too often this is not true. In some parts of the United States, the public education system neglects that priority badly, either by giving students too much free time to do whatever they so choose during school hours, or by being excessively lenient on bad behavior and the like. Do not misunderstand me- I am the product of a public education, myself, and I thank the heavens the school and faculty were excellent and efficient; I am not complaining, but rather, pointing out that not all kids are so lucky.

As far as others showing public affection in school, I must admit that I, too, was a little uneasy about it when I saw it. But that was not out of jealousy, since I have no interest in flirting anyway (I'll leave the reason for that up to the imagination), but rather, out of knowledge of the perhaps unfortunate fact that many people are so open about things like that these days. Call me traditional, but I think time together might be better spent in private, else it seems like you are trying to grab people's attention with such a public display.

And no, I wouldn't call the police about it or anything, because it isn't that big of a deal. It's just something that's always urked me a bit. It's something I can live with.

This might be time to bring up the case that nothing is either good nor bad, but thinking makes it so. (Not that I am a relativist, but this particular argument seems to fit.)

[frogger4Christ]

Point taken. But stll, the guy is YOUNGER than the girl!!

[killshot]

Something pissed me off recently. I heard from my roomate that someone in his old highschool was valedictorian and had a 4.2 Grade Point Average. How the hell did they go over a 4.0?! I told my friend about this and he said that he was cheated out of getting valedictorian by some pricks who took online classes and got over a 4.0 average. I think that if schools allow students to get a GPA of over a 4.0, they should instantly lose their authority to hand out diplomas. If the school isn't smart enough to calculate a GPA correctly, then it has no business educating anyone.

[V2NT1]

Never in my life have I ever heard of anything above a 4.0 GPA...I don't believe it would be possible unless, somehow, teachers count grades over 100% as exceeding 4.0. But even then, I don't believe that makes much sense...

I think it is a legitimate issue to take to the school board, though. It sounds like a problem that needs clearing up, one way or another.

[darkarcher]

Just to shed some light on this issue, AP classes are graded on a 5 point scale (5=A, 4=B, etc.). This 5 point scale is averaged into the 4 point scale, which sometimes leads to a GPA that's greater than 4 points.

[V2NT1]

Oddly enough, I did take several AP courses, but I was never informed of this...

Interesting.

[frogger4Christ]

I guess it's a good thing I'm not even in high school yet

[V2NT1]

Don't worry, it's not as confusing or as much of a cause for worry as a majority of younger people expect it to be. Freshman year is usually the worst (though, it wasn't for me), but it usually doesn't take long to get used to, once you get started.

[frogger4Christ]

thanks for da tip

[killshot]

Interesting. I took AP classes in high school and I too was uninformed of this grading scale. It still seems a little underhanded considering that some schools must not use this system.

[darkarcher]

Well, I'm not sure. I know that the public school closest to where I live does GPA like that, but it may not be the same everywhere.

[HippieAnarchist]

You know what I hate? Intolerance.

America…who doesn’t love us? Well, apparently many countries have a “beef” with our glorious nation . And I can’t imagine why…

(At Berlin International Airport)
Check in woman: Tag! And welcome to Deutchland! What country are you from, please?
Husky American Man: Hola Amego.
Check in woman: What was that, bitte? I did not understand.
Husky American Man: You know, “Hola”…It’s Mexican for hi or something. It’s like the national language of Mac Donald’s.
Check in woman: I’m sorry. I do not speak that language, sir.
Husky American Man: I don’t give a damn about what you speak, just as long as the food here is better then that crap on the plane. I mean, organic peanuts? What are you people, some sort of health nut hippies?
Check in woman: I’m sorry sir, but we must continue with this. May I please see your passport.
Husky American Man: What the hell do you need that for? You wanna keep my picture, don’t ya darlin? You think I’m a hunk. A big, strong, muscular, elementary school educated hunk!
Check in woman: ?
Husky American Man: That’s right, babe. Take all this *strokes mullet* in…
Security Guard: Is there some sort of problem here? The other passengers would like to debark.
Husky American Man: Back off man I saw her first!
Security Guard: Sir, there are 40 other passengers that need to disembark.
Husky American Man: Shit man, 40?!?!
Security Guard: Yes sir.
Husky American Man: And how many of these “passengers” are men ‘cause *whispers* I could so take ‘em.
Security Guard: Sorry, take them…?
Husky American Man: Out, man! Take ‘em out!
Check in woman: Out where?
Husky American Man: God you French people are so retarded. Wait a second, what are they all looking at? *yells to crowd* What’ya lookin at?! You….! Was you eye’n my woman!
Bewildered old man: Whaaaat? I can’t hear you…You young people and your quiet voices…GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
Husky American Man: I’ll show you what happens to the French when they mess with America! *Prepares to punch*
Check in woman: Wait. Did you say America?
Husky American Man: Fuck yeah I did. It’s the best damn country ever! Land of the free and home of the brave! *punches old man* YEEHA!
Check in woman: So you are American then?
Husky American Man: Damn right ho!
Check in woman: Oh. That’s certainly nice to know. *takes gun and shoots the Husky American Man in the face* There you go! Enjoy Berlin! Next!
Me: Um…Hi.
Check in woman: Tag. And what country are you from.
Me: *looks down at body * Um…CANADA!

Now why the Germans don’t like America, I’ll never know…

[V2NT1]

As an American myself, I have never met anyone, male or female, whose persona fits that sortof incredibly stupid and xenophobic caricature before. I guess it's just the stereotype other nations form of us because of a few loudmouthed ignoramuses, but I assure you, 99% of us are NOT at all like that.

[HippieAnarchist]

Of course you're not all like that! Just look at some of the other great people from America...

Jack Nicholson
Richard Nixon
Sarah Silverman
Jeffery Domer
Al Capone
Chris Benoit
Mel Gibson
George W. Bush
and finally
Naomi Campbell.

Nothing remotely wrong with any of those fine Americans...Nothing at all... <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley7.png'>

[V2NT1]

You're going to compare all Americans to just that few? I honestly find that somewhat insulting.

That's like saying all Europeans are like Caligula, Jack the Ripper, Vlad Tepes, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussilini, and Adolph Hitler. Wouldn't that seem a little unfair? I'd hope you think so, too.

[lunchbox]

Chris Benoit is from Canada and Mel Gibson is from Australia and as for Bush you can have him we don't want him.

[frogger4Christ]

Here's what pisses me off:

School dances. It's like a date with everyone watching you. No one wants ppl watching you date. It's worse than ppl watching you take a crap in the toilet. Too embarrassing for words. Not much of a rant, but just something to get out of my system.

[araharu]

Yeah, okay story time. I asked this girl out to prom, made sure to buy her flowers, rented the tux, and canceled the events I had planned with my friends so that I could work into her plans. We were going with this other couple who were actually boyfriend/girlfriend, and we all met up at the girlfriend's house. I get there, the girls disappear, and I'm stuck with this guy I don't know. Okay, that's fine. Except they're gone for an hour. Whatever, at least pictures will be nice. We get there, it's freezing, and she refuses to take the pictures. Now I'm getting kinda pissed. We get to prom, and guess what? They both ignore the two of us guys. FOR THE ENTIRE NIGHT. I tried dancing with her once, and she wouldn't even look at me. By the time I drove her home, she went inside, and I was so pissed that I drove over to my friend's party and bitched about her all night.

THAT, my firends, is the prom night from Hell, hosted by your one and only araharu.

[HippieAnarchist]

You know what's stupid? Lost is going to continue airing until 2010. Isn't that so... J.J. Abrams? It doesn't surprise me, I suppose. I love Lost, don't get me wrong. But I hate the fact that they're going to keep such a dry show around for two more years...It's rather depressing. It's just becoming more and more..."lost" to me. (Oh yeah, I'm good!) Seriously, how many times can a bunch of stranded, emotionally unstable, and extremely horny and attractive people attempt to be rescued from a nameless island ? And just what the hell is up with Claire? Not to mention Jacob...

It annoys me, the whole thing. But I love it anyway.

[frogger4Christ]

That is one of the most dreadful things i have heard in my entire life.
I've never even had a girlfriend before and that sounded terrible.
You recovering from that?

[DarkWarrior]

Of course you're not all like that! Just look at some of the other great people from America...

Jack Nicholson
Richard Nixon
Sarah Silverman
Jeffery Domer
Al Capone
Chris Benoit
Mel Gibson
George W. Bush
and finally
Naomi Campbell.

Nothing remotely wrong with any of those fine Americans...Nothing at all...
Just as a note, don't proceed as if it's a fact that these people were bad as Americans. It's merely your opinion, and other people may feel differently. Good word of advice.

[Chidori]

Chris Benoit
I lol'd

[jakeismydog]

I've come to the conclusion that I hate society and people all together. Now what I'm saying makes me sound like and emo and some kid who just wants to kill himself, I'm not. I just want to live alone somewhere in the forest or something away from people and live the rest of my life as a recluse. Maybe find a job as a clerk to some lonely, in the middle-of-nowhere convenience store.

-I hate how people follow people around like puppies.
-I hate how teenagers all listen to their music just because it's cool.
-I hate how kids in high school do drugs because it's fun and cool and fucks up your life
(If you hadn't noticed yet, I'm in high school)
-I hate the most of all, the media, and how they manipulate all the little puppies into being terrified about food shortages diseases, the flu, criminals, shootings, not good things, and other random things that people really don't need to know about.
-I hate how hate things that they don't know about or are ignorant about. That pretty much explains why people are afraid of things or don't like things. LOL - I just said that people don't like things that they are ignorant about.
-I hate how people are racist. It just annoys me.
-I hate how people are homophobic. Once again, it just annoys me.
-I hate how people think they are better than other people.
-I hate how believe in religion. Because it doesn't exist.
-I hate how people are sometimes so committed to what they believe in.
-I HATE SOCIETY AND THEY PEOPLE IT CREATES.
-I hate how people are sometimes so committed to what they don't believe in. Same thing as two above.^^^^
-I hate stereotypes even though they are, sometimes, true.
-I hate the Disney channel.
-I hate the ABC Family channel. (same thing^^^) I hate how they advertise their shitty movies about princesses all the time.
-I hate all sitcoms, although some entertain me slightly. And most of all, I hate laugh tracks. Lulz, every time my fat ass, bitch of a sister watches a crappy sitcom that fails, and the laugh track comes on, I just produce the most obnoxious laugh. Why you ask, because the show thinks it's just freakin halairious, I have laugh too. She gets so pissed and she screams like a wombat. And it just makes me laugh even more. I leave the room colapsing. So really, the thing I hate the most brings me joy.
____-I would rant more, but I hate it...

[Chidori]

You seriously need to calm down every once in a while and realise 99% of those things don't affect you in the slightest.

[killshot]

Did anyone else laugh when the "I hate ____" speech turned from hating society to hating certain TV channels? Seems like a bad follow up if you ask me. I hate how people are sometimes so committed to what they believe in.

Should everyone just become a nihilist and make no attempt to change the world you seem to hate so much? What is wrong with passionate about one's beliefs?

[frogger4Christ]

eh, ignoring that long rant

[agrajagthetesty]

So basically, you hate people that follow along with the crowd and you hate people that stand up for their beliefs.

Throw us a lifeline here. :/

[HippieAnarchist]

Guess who's back...

...ME!

Yes! After vigorous studying and such, The HippieAnarchist has returned to her Rant page with yet another...well...another rant. Who would have guessed?

You know what makes me want to return to my rant page after a vent-less two weeks to vent and rant? (Oh am I ever so original!) Faded out child actors.

So, I was watching The Goonies today (because Id never seen that movie) and I noticed a little boy in it who caught my eye and ripped it out (metaphorically of course). As the new Indiana Jones movie just came out, I’d been having a bit of an Indy film festival lately. And after watching The Goonies (after watching Indiana Jones) You know what I noticed? SHORT ROUND IS IN THE GOONIES! Who would have guessed? (um…again…)

But what I’d really adore knowing is just what the hell happened to Jonathan Ke Quan (Short Round). IMBd says that after such programs as “Head Of Class” and “Tales from the Crypt”, our dear Jonny didn’t do much else in the career of acting. Of course, there was 2002’s "Mou han fou wut". Let me sum it up for you:

(Las Vegas)

Ren Lee: Wow! Let’s go show the world how great we are by betting absolutely all our money on a stupid Craps game!

Sing Wong (aka Jonathan Ke Quan) : Hey, Dr. Jones, no time for love. We've got company.

Tina Chow: Why hello.

Ren Lee: Who the f*** are you?

Tina Chow: The name’s Cecilia. Cecilla Cheung. But you can just call me Mystic Rock Lady who later dies in a car crash approximately two seconds from now. And you’re commin with me, Sing.

Sing Wong : Indy! Cover your heart! Cover your heart! Argah! *gurgles and dies in a most horrific way*

Ren Lee: Um…am I dead?

Det. Luca: Even worse…you’re stuck with ME! And it only get’s worse from here! *They go back in time* In the past…we FALL IN LOVE! It’s just like back to the future, only in Cantonese and slightly more gay.

Ren Lee: Oh God just kill me now!

God: Ok. *lightning bolt ascends from the heavens to “electrocution bang bang” Ren *

Ren Lee: Argah! *falls to ground* Thanks! *dies*

***Later in the after life***

Ren Lee: Det. Luca? What the hell are you doing here?

Muca: I’m not Det. Luca. I’m her identical twin Det. Muca. We’re alike in every single way. WELCOME TO HADES!

Ren Lee: Oh crap! Well, do you at least know “the Peaking Raccoon” Sutra?

Muca: I just said I‘m like Luca, I didn’t say I was Halle f***ing Berry!

Tina Chow: That reference made about as much sense as the plot line of BUG, which by the way made no sense whatsoever.

Sing Wong: Hold on to your potatoes!

[End]

There, now why on earth didn’t Jonathan Ke Quan continue acting? And he had so much aspiring, unadulterated talent…Oh well. I suppose some child actors are just not meant to be actors because they really can’t act, so they go on to do crappy foreign flicks instead.

Until next week, I’m HippieAnarchist!

[HippieAnarchist]

You know what just plain pisses me off? The elderly. But not just the elderly people, the crazy elderly people…I mean the way their minds work. So check this out…

[At my house]

Me: Grandma, did you move my eyeliner?

Grandma: (turns around with black eye-liner all over her lips) But I thought it was lip liner…

And there’s even more!

Me: Grandma, did you hide all the toilet paper again?

Grandma: Damn it, the Nazi’s are on to us Max! Quick, we gotta jump out that extremely high apartment window! And …Go! *Attempts to jump out window but smashes into shatter-proof glass instead, breaking her glasses in the posses* Damn! Foiled by the Soviets once more! Now how’s I goanna read the Bible! Max, we’ve got to end this now. I’ll shoot you and you shoot me, ok? And Go! *shoots carpet* Max…? I think you missed me. Try again Max! One…two…*shoots carpet*

Me: Grandma, Grandpa Max has been dead for fourteen years.

Grandma: What? Oh…Well back to my knitting, then!

[END]

Whatever you do, don’t ever, EVER let me become crazy…

[spencer43]

To late for that buddy.

[HippieAnarchist]

Well, you've got me there. I'll admit, I am a bit psychotic. Maybe even more then a bit. Actually, I'm pretty nuts, and I don't deny such accusations as the one you made. In all honesty, *whispers* Being normal just got too...too Ben Stein for me. <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley7.png'>

[spencer43]

lol i agree, but then you must define what you believe is normal.

[HippieAnarchist]

Normal is the Hollywood nose.

Everyone has the same one, weather they were born with it or not.

Except for Adrien Brody. He decided to keep his.

Go Brody! <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley2.png'>

[HippieAnarchist]

So, I had finals this week. And you know what I hate about finals? EVERYTHING.

[In English Classroom]

Teacher: Alright students. You may begin your exams…NOW! GO!!! *Waves checkered flag*

Student 1: HA! I’M GOING TO BEAT YOU!!!!!!
Student 2: NOT IF I BEAT YOU FIRST!!! (His pencil breaks) HUH? WHAT’S THIS? SABOTAGE!
Student 1: MUHAHAHA! AND THAT’S WHY YOU MUST ALWAYS WRITE IN PEN!
Student 2: THE JOKE'S ON YOU, IT’S A SCANTRON !
Student 1: DAMN!

[End]

The funny thing is, that’s only High School Finals. I hear collage ones are about 10x worse. And you know what that means…

*A masked man jumps through window*

Billy Mays: I HEARD YELLING. IS EVERYONE OK? ‘CAUSE IF YOU’RE NOT OK, I HAVE SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP. IT’S CALLED….*rambles off about product*

Presenting: The HippieAnarchist's rant on Spongebob! *cheers*

Spongebob is DEAD, and has been dead ever since that "Lost Episode" thing with the flying pants. Yeah. Great. A flying sponge. But can he bend fire? Survey says....NO...
And despite Nickelodeon's ever alive scheme to resurrect this decrepit series, I personally believe that because Spongebob is dead in the hearts of the fans, it's only a matter of time before he (and the vile series) are dead as well. Or they could just cancel the series and let it go with what little dignity it has left. But let's face it. Spongebob is the Hannah Montana of Nick. If they trash it, they trash it's only asset. Remember Danny Phantom? No. No you do not. And why? Because it wasn't an icon. Spongebob is. But not for long...

Please Nick, for the sake of the fans

NO MORE!

I'm HippieAnarchist. Until next week!

i walked into school this morning with a leaf and thought "one of these made me 35 minutes late this morning. and a train weighing over 200 tons was unable to pass over it. and to think that they can send men to the moon and back, bloody good thing they dont have leaves on the moon isnt it"

Why don't you just leaf me alone.

God damn I'm so hilarious.

[cionicgreycloak]

lol yes i can see i'm rolling around the floor in hysterics

[FullMetalRevive]

RANDOM AGRUMENT WITH CHIDORI!!!

Your not hilarious.
Your Un-hilarious.

[HippieAnarchist]

I'll tell you what's Un-Hilarious. Maggie Gyllenhaal portraying Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight. *shudders* John Papsidera is one twisted bastard...

[killshot]

You know what is pissing me off? The word "random." This has to be the most over used word in the english language. I don't know who started the trend of discribing people as "random," but they need to be beaten in the genitals with a tire iron until they are no longer able to reproduce. In fact, the only thing that is truely random anymore are the things people will assign the word "random" to. The word "random" refers to a series of some sort that lacks a predictable pattern. Here are some common instances in which the word "random" is misused:

1.) "I'm in a random mood today."
2.) "Bobby is so random."
3.) "Today was so random."

To counteract this rampant word abuse, I propose we select a new word to spam the hell out of and twist its meaning into something completely different from what it was originally intended. The word I propose we use is "honorificabilitudinitatibus." It might not be as appealing as "random," but I'm sure it with catch on.

[FullMetalRevive]

It's just as family guy has said about the Gyllenhaals.
"Kids, you're both just awful."

[Chidori]

I never say random anymore, I usually use miscellaneous as it tends to work better.

[HippieAnarchist]

It's just as family guy has said about the Gyllenhaals.
"Kids, you're both just awful."
Ha, so true!

While on the topic of awful actresses, I have to ask. Have you seen "The Haunting"? I quite honestly regret viewing that atrocious film, and would you like to know why? Lili Taylor...*shudders* How she even landed a role in that film, (or any other) will forever be a mystery to me...

[SynaNara]

i have 3 things i wanna rant about

#1 homework
i hate it
all of it
i dont see the point in making us suffer in agony over it
grrr
i mean we dont really need it
there has been no proof of it helping in any way
yet it matters so much dispite this
at least decreace the load
or the impact on your grades

#2 hannah montana
if i hear one more of her songs or lame comericals on the disney channel my sister instists on watching im gonna puke
she has a nice voice
dont get me wrong
but the whole franchise is going overboard
i know someone who wrote an artial on people who do compleatly desperate things to get a concert ticket
one girl lied in an essay contest on the advice of her mom and wrote that her dad died in Iraq
no fucking joke

#3 highschool musical
the first one was alright
it was good enough to rent but not to buy
but the issue was
just like hannah montana
it wet OVERBOARD
its not that great of a movie
and if you sing the songs more then 3 times its unbarably annoying
and they are getting worse
the second one sucked
badly
and people loved
WHY!?!?!
if i hear "were all in this together" once more time
im going to smash my tv

sorry
i had to get this out

[HippieAnarchist]

I share your mutual hatred of High School Musical. My school did it as a play last year, and I was in it. Only the day before opening night I got into an automobile accident and broke part of my back. It took me a year to get better. And what's worse is that the day before my operation, my mother brought in a newspaper to read. And you'll never guess who made the cover. My school's performance of High School Musical. That friend, is Lady Irony. And she’s a bitch.

[cionicgreycloak]

today i got one of those annoying letters to guide parents about "keeping your children safe on the internet" and thats annoying enough but what really pissed me off was that at the bottom it had written "if you do not have access to a computor a guide can be ordered by post". What is the bloody point of informing people who dont have a pc that they could get a guide on keeping there kids safe on the pc that they dont have?????? why bother

[Zairak]

I have discovered a couple more things that annoy the hell out of me.

#1: People who watch NASCAR and complain about the price of gasoline. I mean, let's do the math here. 30-40 cars, 300 laps, high quality fuel. Conclusion: epic amount of gas wasted going around in circles just so people don't have to go to Vegas to bet on things.

#2: Bottled water. This both annoys me and elicits a certain amount of admiration for the bottled water companies. Really, this could be the biggest scam I have yet learned of. Let's take your typical bottle of Deja Blue.

Cost: one shiny (or not so shiny) dollar, more or less.

Contents: approximately 1.25 pints of water.

Now, there are two pints to a quart and four quarts to a gallon, right? That would equal out to eight pints in a gallon or 6.4 bottles of water per gallon of water.

Conclusion: I have been paying $6.40 a gallon for WATER. Water. One of the most abundant elements of our planet. If you paid for tapwater like that, you would be paying, at minimum, nearly $200 dollars for a rather shallow bath. I'm going to switch to tap, chlorine or not.

That is why I don't think there's a shortage. If there was one, ALL motor sports would be ordered to halt until supply was back up.

[HippieAnarchist]

So you know what drives me up the wall? The fact that my last trip to Ohio cost me $234.53 to fill up the family van one way. That's crazy! Now given we had to refuel three times...but still! 8 years ago it would have been half that! I remember walking to the gas station to buy Ring Pops with my friend Mitchy and seeing gas prices at $1.95. What the hell happened? As of late I've been unsuccessfully attempting to persuade my family to buy a more energy efficient car, but they cost so much that they won't even consider one. I've tried telling them that it'll pay for itself, but you now parentals. So it sucks that we can't go to Ohio next year unless gas prices go way down, but maybe by then we'll have a better car and only have to pay $134.53 to go on vacation.

[cionicgreycloak]

i have just had to dissable my firewall to get onto the internet through AOL and i have found that the firewall company has sent me an e-mail saying that there is a glitch in the software that could disrupt the internet. 1) No shit 2) if you cant get in to AOL to read your e-mails what is the bloody point in sending an e-mail to tell us this. How could anything be so fucking stupid!!!!!!!

[killshot]

Does anyone else agree that it is time 9-11 got a real name? Its been almost 7 years and people still only refer to this tragedy by the date. Can you imagine if this trend continues with future disasters? There would be a huge string of dates floating around with all meaning of the actual event purged from everyone's memory. Is there any other name that is even more emotionless than the date of the tragedy? This event is possibly the singe most memorable disaster of my generation and it has been given the most meaningless title imaginable. Decades from now, children will learn about events such as the JFK assassination, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and 9-11. They won't remember what 9-11 was, but you can be damned sure they will remember when it happened.

[HippieAnarchist]

Too true. I think it (9-11) should be called "The Day That Our Strong Government, The Strongest In The World, Was Informed About In Advance But Didn't Warn Our Citizens About But Instead Built Two Faulty Skyscrapers That Would Easily Collapse When Hit By Two Planes So That We Could Falsely Blame Al-qaeda, Then Afghanistan, Then Iraq And (Soon To Be) Iran So That We'd Have A Reason To Then Go To War With All Of The Middle East So That Our Country Could Triumph With Our Superior Weapons And Conduct A Complete Take-Over Until We've Drained Every Single One Of Their Oil Reserves And Brought It Back To The US So Our Country Can Survive For A Few More Years On That Poison While The Rest Of The World Adapts And Embraces Cleaner More Efficient Energy. *" Now who’s stronger?

*Please note that I mean no offence to those who lost loved ones in the attack or during the war.

why on earth do people think that sarah jessica parker is sexy???? she has a face like a foot thats just been trampled by an antelope!!!!!

[WillPhanto1]

You know what pisses me off, the USPS. Seriously, it's worth it to pay extra to have your stuff go by UPS or FedEX. I ordered three Alice Cooper tickets, the show is a month away, so I thought it would be fine for them to go through UPS, I wasn't in that much of a hurry to get them. So when I came home from work today I walked to the mailbox to grab the mail, to find that it was wet, and guess what was in the mail. . .The tickets. Needless to say I was pissed. They weren't damage though, I just needed to hang them out to dry, and they should be find. But still.

[araharu]

Okay, I really need to rant about my mother. I mean, she's my mother, and I love her to death, but JESUS CHRIST WOMAN. I'm almost 18, and she's STILL on my case about everything. Instead of letting me make myself motivated and get things done on my own time, she feels that it is her responsibility to tell me what I need to do, and when I need to do it, ALL THE FRIGGIN' TIME. Yes, I know I need to do my homework every night if I want to get good grades. I know that I need to practice my bass if I want to be first chair. I know that I need to run every day if I want to be varsity. I know that I need to get on top of my college stuff if I want to get into a good school. BUT MAYBE IF YOU JUST BACK OFF A BIT, I COULD DO IT MYSELF.

[cionicgreycloak]

to follow up on mothers. I came home today and announced with no real confliction that i had just got my first ever D on some paper or other. Somehow that warrents for the apocolypse to come and for me to fail all of my future qualifications and end up living in a box on trafalgar square. FOR CHRISTS SAKE ITS NOT A DISSASTER. I missed off by one fucking mark and therefore 10 villigers should be shot an hour until i have passed with honours on every single subject known to man. Its just one fucking D in a thousand A's. Get a grip

[Mullon]

You know what I hate? Stuff.

What the fuck is up with stuff? It's everywhere and nobody likes it. And its like, you're walking down the street minding your own buisness, and suddenly stuff is there and you're like "What the Hell?!". But it just sits there mocking and belittling you for no reason whatsoever. All stuff does is being sin and degradation wherever it goes. It contributes nothing to society. You can't even buy a beef patty off the street without stuff getting all up in your shit. Stuff sucks.

And don't get me started on things.

[jellysound]

I agree, what sucks worse about stuff is that it bunches together so you have a bunch of stuff and nothing to do with it

[HippieAnarchist]

What's even worse then stuff is junk! Its the stuff with absolutely no purpose, so you have to wonder " why on earth was this contraption even created?" So I was at Bed Bath & Beyond the other day, and as I'm walking down the “As Seen On T.V.” isle, my eye catches something glimmering on the shelf. It was the SmartShopper™ Grocery List Organizer. The description reads: "SmartShopper™ is a voice recognition grocery list organizer whose intuitive interface is fun to use and easy to master. Just push the record button, say the name of the item you want to add to your list, and SmartShopper™ does the rest. There are over 2,500 items in the library, and it can even learn new items tailored to your lifestyle." HOW UTTERLY USELESS! Are people so lazy that they can't even write down the name of a produce product they intend to purchase?! And a "lifestyle"? What lifestyle?! If you need to carry a $149.99 electronic device with you every time you go shopping because your brain can't handle the challenge of remembering what you need to buy, then you probably don't have a very intelligent lifestyle. You don't have a life at all! So why even bother eating?

[killshot]

You know what I hate? Stuff.

How can someone hate stuff? Stuff is what makes the world go round. Stuff is the only reason you live in a house. If you think about it, a house is just a pile of stuff with a cover on it. Do you want to be homeless? I think not. Watch what you say about stuff.

[frogger4Christ]

Here's something that frustrates me, super cheesy comedy tv shows. I'm pretty much looking at Disney Channel. It's okay for a good laugh or two, but when they put like a bunch of cheesy jokes in one scence, it gets pretty old. Everyone knows that the laughing people are soundbites. This is just something straight from my head so you can start arguing with me if you wish.

[HippieAnarchist]

I know what you mean entirely. Have you ever watched "The Sweet Life of Zack and Cody"? In one word: Disgraceful. How dare those preteen punks pretend to have talent!

[Seri]

Oh babah I feel you there! I always become forced to watch this since I share a room xP

[Ammeterasu77]

"Don't forget to breath! You need air to breath! If you don't you'll die! blah blah blah...."

[cionicgreycloak]

why are all the options of people running the country rubbish??? Brown-about as capable as your average ironing board, Camoran-slimyer than a barrel full of eels and so posh he feasts on ferrero rochier for a snack or Clegg-true to liberal democratic standard clueless. No wonder the country is going to the dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WillPhanto1]

You know what gets on my nerves? The Black shirts at work.
Okay, for those who don't know, I work at McDonald's, and there you three types of employees. You have crew (general workers) who wear red shirts (I'm crew), You have crew chiefs, who train and supervise crew members, they wear brown/gold shirts. Then you have Management who wear blue shirts.
Well when we started that stupid Mc-Cafe thing, they started give people who knew how to make the drink black shirts, to go along with the cafe thing. Now here's the thing. . .THEY ACT LIKE THEIR F***ING CREW CHIEFS! "Oh look, I have a different color shirt then you, I'm a higher rank then you are" F**k off. They still crew, and not to mention I have Seniority over most of them.

[Zairak]

I had a rather depressing day recently. I had to go to a fair to babysit one of my nephews and make sure he didn't run off. A whole 5 minutes in, he wanted to eat something, despite having refused to eat before coming. So, we were going through the concession stands trying to find a drink that didn't cost $5.00. Walking past a particular concession stand, I noticed an odd menu item. They were apparently selling deep fried candy bars. I nearly vomited. I honestly believe I nearly had a heart attack just processing that concept mentally.

I mean, good God! I know America has been occasionally (okay, quite often) stereotyped as being the land of the obese, but come on! What's more, that stand was selling bottled water for $6.00 when there was a vending machine for $1.25 right next to it! Yet, that stand had a huge line...*shudder*

[Tatterdemalion]

Deep fried candy bars? You know, it's really not any more disgusting than regular candy bars. I mean, for a candy bar to be made, the ingredients have to be processed, and refined, and dehydrated, and rehydrated, and reconstituted, blended, preserved, packaged, and left on a shelf for a month before you eat it. All deep frying is doing is subjecting it to intense heat by puting it in hot oil for a short period of time (I assume it's pretty fast). So how is eating a deep fried candy bar any worse than eating an actual candy bar? (also, according to my research, deep fried candy bars originated in Scotland, not America).

[Zairak]

For the record, I never said they originated in America. I just referenced it because that is where I found them.

I apparently was mistaken. You see, I never bothered to look up the process of deep frying. I just assumed a few things by seeing what the candy bar in question looked like. It seemed to have been dipped in batter and what appeared to be cheese. Having never seen deep fried food, I thought that was what deep fried food was. Now, I can't speak for anybody else, but that particular combination repulses me.

[killshot]

I saw a commercial today that defined irony. I did not know this, but apparently McDonald's is a sponsor of the Olympic games. I think I laughed for about a full minute. The company who sells greasy, disgusting, heart-attack inducing food sponsors the most prestigious sporting event in the world. I wonder if any of the athletes have ever endorsed a Big Mac?

[Elt]

McDonalds seem to sponsor every athletic event, atleast from what i've seen...
I've also thought it's quite ironic and retarded.

[Elbarto]

I think its funny how just because KFC plays 'Oriental' music in the background, they think that their new chicken is actually Asian style. Thats just pathetic in so many ways! <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley2.png'>

[Tatterdemalion]

It's not ironic, it's a marketing ploy. For years McDonalds has been very active in not only sponsoring athletic events, but supposedly encouraging physical activity in people. It's based on the idea that fast food =/= obesity, and that it's possible to eat fast food is you live an otherwise healthy lifestyle, doing such things as athletic whatnot. It's actually pretty decent public relations material, because then whenever anyone, such as Morgan Spurlock, points a finger at McDonald's saying "look how much obesity this causes," McDonalds has a readymade defense saying "oh no, we're against obesity as much as everyone, look how much we're doing to prevent it, and it's possible to be healthy while still enjoying our products"

And on top of that, McDonalds is an enormous international corporation, which has a pretty broad reaching demographic, so of course any major international event is going to have their sponsorship. The next major world war is going to be brought to you by McDonalds (although apparently the revolution will not be televised).

So no, it's not irony, just smart business.

[cionicgreycloak]

ive just come back from holiday and heres some advice if you see a child on the plane stamp on it!!!! The new borns mother has to always sit either behind you or next to you and they sort of display their child to the world.............ITS GOING TO FUCKING SCREAM AND WERE GOING TO NEW ZEALAND. A WHOLE DAYS FLIGHT AWAY. and they look at you as though you should applaud the fact that its going to piss you off for a whole day until it finally falls asleep or i throw it out of the fucking plane

[SynaNara]

i no EXACTLY wat u mean!! i just got home from traveling for a day and a half. 6 babies. not nessarily next to or behind me but well within making you wanna trow something.

[cionicgreycloak]

ive just had to spend half the night in casualty with a mate because he has been cut fairly deeply across the right cheek because he got into a fight lucky for him i managed to nock the guy out with a chair but this is something else to moan about.....people who moan about things that are their fault. like my mate. I'm sorry but if someone pulls a knife on you and all that you can pull out is a hand with some flesh on it, your general intellegence and reason should tell you to run!!!!!!!!run!!!!!!!!and run!!!!!!!!!!some more. but no he thinks he has to be macho man!!!!!!! for christs sake your just step away from macho man!!!!!!!! to dead person!!!!!!! and if he had died think what i would have had to say in the funeral. How did he die? says greiving relatives. well unfortunately he decided to take on 5 men with knives using his head. What a prat!!!!!

[gigavirus]

one thing that gets me is how in the news here in england ( i dont know abot any were else) when ever some on gets stabed they always have there perents on saying how they did nothing bad but the evedence shows that the got in to a fight or they were "gangsters" or what ever they want to be called and they are always in there wrong place ( i know that alot of deaths in the uk are just being in the wrong place at the wrong time but hey).

[cionicgreycloak]

i have just developed a deep hatered for almost every news channel in existance. Why? because when theyve got past all the important stuff that matters like torrorists and stabbings ect they think oh no weve still got about fifteen minutes till were finished and they just report rubbish that doesnt affect anyone at all in the slightest. what i would love is for fiona bruce to say "now lets have a look at the news in your area" and to just put her feet up and say that there is absolutely nothing of interest going on at the moment. but no theres always a fence thats blown over or a cat thats stuck up a tree and an old granny who has been made out to be more angry than she really is. ITS ALL COMPLETE BOLLOCKS!!!!!

[Seri]

Common thing:

Everyone notices your failure.

Everyone doesn't notice your deeds.

[SynaNara]

so true

[cionicgreycloak]

next thing on the train wreck of complaints that none cares about is the royal family. The most useless thing britain has in its arsenal, apart from Harry who has decided that it would be productive for him to get him and several other people shot in another country. Then people say that they attract allot of tourists. Fisrt of all i sincerely doubt that the queen is likely to make a public appearance everytime somone is outside with a camera especially with a racist batard of a husband that she has and second you dont go to the top of the eiffel tower and say "yes its a lovely veiw but the lack of a monarch spoils it somehow"!!!!!!!!!

[cionicgreycloak]

ive just bin shot by some tosser and this is what i am complaining about. Is it really nessarsary for you to have to bring a gun with you to a small bar in sussex. the guy said it was for protection. HAIL TO THE WORLDS WORST LIAR!!!!!!!!!

[spencer43]

Mc Donalds sponsors the Olympics .. I think that is the very definition of irony.

I have alot to rant about but I will do one topic a day as to keep you all amused but todays topic is.

Funnies Home Videos

Now who here has seen any episodes of F.H.V.

It can be really appalling I mean sure they are funny like the ones where a dog attacks a stranger, a guy stacks it on a trampoline. Or I know the ones where a parent bowls over a small child WRONG. Thats NOT funny. Seriously the videos where parents injure their children like a dad and a small child will be playing with an exercise ball in the back yard, keeping in mind the balls twice the height of the kid then bang the dad will smack the kid over. But wait that's not it they then have the balls to send this video in to a home video show to try and win money not only are they a bad parent but they have to show the whole fucking world. Good one genius you have just proven to the wold you are a bad parent, I hope child services come and abducts your children in the night while leaving a gold coin in the child's bed much like the child fairy.

But that's not all the parents that can foresee their child is about to get Own3d clearly, they put the camera down and go to stop the child hurting its self. NO NO they don't they keep watching to get something funny on camera. I don't know what worse I really don't but all home video shows should ban these types of videos as it just makes me sick to think what parents will do for prizes and money.

thats all for now,

God I hate parents.

[Zairak]

My faith in humans seems to be on the decline lately...

I went to a restaurant recently. While waiting for my order, I happened to glance behind me at a dry erase board they had up on the wall for announcements and the like. Apparently, one waitress wasn't getting tipped because written on the board were the words:

"TIPPING IS NOT A CITY IN TOKYO!!!"

...Yeah...This almost depresses me, really, except I have come to expect it lately.

[Elastas]

i hate waiting
OMG, im glad i got that off my chest.......(sarcasm)

[Mullon]

You know what I dislike?

How it is always the piece that acts as the deconstruction of the genre that is considered the greatest masterpiece of said genre. "Ooh look, it's all pissy and don't have a sense of humor. It's genius!" I'm looking at you Watchmen, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Metal Gear Solid.

[Tatterdemalion]

It's true. In actuality, Taiping is a city in Taiwan. And on top of that, there are no cities in Tokyo, because Tokyo is a city.

Yeah, that is depressing.

[AcidSoldier]

You know what pisses me off?

People who pick on other people for being into comics, D&D, or anime. They think that all nerds are fat, autistic (look it up jackholes), virgins, and live in their parents' basement. They only do it because they want attention or people to feel worse than they do, or they were taught to do that as a social survival technique via previous generations. The fact is they don't understand a lot of things, and before I go on, I'd like to have an intermission so you can get food, as it will take a while, just like that robotic chicken from ATHF. <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley2.png'>

Okay, first and foremost: PEOPLE are morons! This is true for alot of us, and we're all guilty of this. When you see someone drift into some craze, their ignorance has been exploited. Is this bad?


HELL NO!!! These things help stimulate the economy (which I believe no one should complain about as people have no idea how the economy works and relies on the media, who, let's face it is unreliable and picks the president for us (No offense to Obama (He kicks ass!!))) and besides, the people who hate on us are guilty of fandom, too. Not the extreme fandom stereotype that TV and film spoonfeeds them, but they're hooked to something.

How did this happen? Back in the 1950's, out of nowhere two things came that would redefine entertainment forever and place pop-culture (the experiences of everyday people) over high culture (art and literature) for the first time ever. Those things were TV and rock n' roll.

TV was a great medium of expression and so is rock 'n roll, but they faced much opposition in the years to come: which branches off to two more things that piss me off

1: People that blame TV shows for immorality. I hate it when people blame South Park, Jackass, and other adulterated programming for their kid's behavior. Oh, he tried riding in a shopping cart? He said sh*t at school 162 times? Is it the shows fault?

No, it's the parent's fault for not controlling what they watch. And no it's not a breach of constitutional rights to do that. In fact, there are rating systems on everything!!!!!!! Including TV. Besides, every show or game has a target audience. If, you're not in their target then why is it on your TV screen?

2: People who proclaim things as the devil: People started proclaiming that rock n roll was the devil's music and got all paranoid when things got huge followings.

THE DEVIL IS A METAPHOR, YOU BIBLICAL RETARD! Seriously, religion seems more like a lobotomy than good will, and I'm not just saying that because I think they want to kill me for being autistic. If something picks up followers, it means they like it, not so much that they'll worship it.


And THAT's what pisses me off! <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley1.png'>

[KuroStarr]

Okay...
Time to rant:

The first thing I practically loathe is people telling me what to like. I absolutely can't stand it. Yeah, somebody the other day told me to love yaoi. And I asked, "Why?" And the person goes "Just 'cause!" And so I asked "Why?" again, and she said, "'Cause its hot!" I just stood there for a couple minutes, then I finally spoke up, "For the record, I don't find a drawing of the same gender in bed with each other 'hot'...In fact, I don't like either genders displayed that way...The practice of it is just so degrading..." And she was just so appalled that I had the audacity to repel yaoi. "For the record, that means you don't like the same genders being together?" She said to me. I stood there for yet another minute, "No. I'm just fine with it. Its just that I don't find it at all 'cute' or 'hot'..."
So now she thinks I'm homophobic. Which I am not. I just don't like it shoved down my throat, I can only take so much criticism for so long. Yes, it is likely that I will encounter some yaoi on the internet, but I don't purposely go looking for it! I'm just not into that kind of stuff. In fact, I've been finding myself to dislike both genders greatly, and having no preference at all. Both genders have something about them that prevents me from possibly ever falling in love. So now I'm finding myself to be asexual. But I suppose if I had to choose for a person to be with, I would choose a male, hands down.

I'll have to come up with some more rants later. My brain decided to not work today.

[SynaNara]

i totally agree with you
annoyingly enought
i have about 10 friends who are into yoai
=_=
one learns to live with it tho
*sigh*

Is this a problem for most people? I doubt I could find 10 people who know what yaoi is, let alone like it. It probably doesn't help that I live in Red Neckington though.

[Raulst]

I'm sorry to hear that you guys are surrounded by yaoi-freaks trying to force your opinions. I'm a yaoi fan, but I don't really parade the fact, nor do I force my friends to love yaoi, or anyone else, for that matter. So it bothers me when annoying yaoi fangirls accuse non-yaoi lovers of being close-minded and homophobic, when they're the ones acting close-minded in turn, forcing everyone to swallow their fetish. I know to you I am just one person over the Internet with this attitude while you are surrounded by your own examples of annoying yaoi fangirls in real life, but I hope you don't think too terribly about all yaoi fans. Not all of us are like that. (I think)

[SynaNara]

yea
i live in asia
=_=

[SynaNara]

all my yoai fan girl friends are really hyper and noisy
so i dont really know any quiet and not in your face fan girl
that really sucks

[Raulst]

>_<

In our Arts and Literature club, the majority of the members are all these horrible underclassmen who write terrible fanfiction, draw nothing but anime faeries (and other cliches), and squeal about their favorite parings. God, fangirls. I'm glad I only have to stay in a room with them for less than 30 minutes a week.

[killshot]

I used the term "Red Neckington" to describe a rural town in the middle of nowhere. I recently learned that it is actually a euphemism for masturbation. I should probably google any words that I think I am making up before I post them. Sorry if anyone was confused/disgusted with my choice of words.

[Tatterdemalion]

I recently learned that it is actually a euphemism for masturbation.
I'm pretty sure that it isn't.

Also, I like your use of the term "Red Neckington" because it sounds like it could be the name of an actual town.

[killshot]

I looked it up again and I think you're right. The first results that came up were from urban dictionary and I only read the text below the first result. If I had actually clicked the entry from urban dictionary, I would have seen the word wasn't defined. I'm glad I can keep using that word now.

[KuroStarr]

Yet another Rant:

Twilight-It is just so cliche! I mean come on: 'vampire romance'? Oh my god! I can't wait until this little trend blows over.
For one: I read at least 1 chapter, and I was just so ashamed and disappointed of the way the story was put together.
Two: Vampires don't glitter. Period. You don't hear about dragon farting rainbows in books...
Three: It couldn't possibly get more cliche... I don't see whats so great about that damn book! It's silly. I miss the old evil ugly vampires! You know, like the original Dracula-he was bald, ugly, and had long nails. I'd rather watch that old movie instead of watching[or reading] about some chic named 'Bella' being stupid and acting only on hormones. That book is just so damn predictable, why can't these twilight readers open up the book 'Moby Dick' instead?
Four: What the hell is all this hype about anyways? I mean every time my teacher says the words 'twilight' [even she is considering reading it], a good portion of the class jumps up and starts hyperventilating. I'm tired of hearing 'Team Edward' or 'Team Jacob', "OMG!! EDWARD ISH SO SMEXY!!!! BELLA ISH SOOOO LUCKY!" "PSH! NO, BELLA BELONGS WITH JACOB, DUH!" Ever hear those words? I have.
It's apparent to me that as the plot goes like this: There is a love cold, and Bella used Jacob as a tissue: "Excuse me Jacob, can I barrow for a minute*blows her nose on Jacob tissue* Thank you Jacob, Goodbye Jacob!*lets Jacob the tissue blow away in the wind*..."
Yup, it sounds like a soap opera with vampires, doesn't it? Of course I don't really know the plot entirely, the only reason I know so much is 'cause my 'friends' won't shut their mouths about it. Did you know one of my friend's skipped my cousin's B-day to go see 'Twilight' the movie? So much for being 'friends'.
Anyways; I'll end this rant by saying this: It's just about the stupidest trend that I have heard about; And I can't wait until it ends.

[SilverFox]

Yeah I got the tip off that the movie is rubble before it came out here, and it's annoying to see all these people buy all the hype, like ants to sugar :/

[WillPhanto1]

Two: Vampires don't glitter. Period. You don't hear about dragon farting rainbows in books...
You might get a kick out of this: http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20081207.htmlYou know, like the original Dracula-he was bald, ugly, and had long nails.
Actually, Dracula wasn't bald or ugly in the book. In the beginning he was really old looking but still had hair. But as the book went on he got younger and younger from drinking so much blood. But he did long sharp nails.

[Tatterdemalion]

You know, like the original Dracula-he was bald, ugly, and had long nails..
And bad breath, don't forget bad breath.

Still, if you look at the movies (which you shouldn't, because they're nothing compared to the book), he starts off like Nosferatu, and ends up like Bela Lugosi (I have to say it, Bela Lugosi's sexy)

[QuirkBiscuits]

I feel like a small rant too.

You know what I hate? The majority of the girls in my class. The way they sit behind you and giggle, the way they straighten their hair and plaster their face in makeup EVERY single day, and think it makes them cool to bitch about everything and everyone and [underage] drink and weekends and skip school...sorry...they're just so full of it... need to slap them...

You know what I love? Profiteroles.

[KuroStarr]

I put on make-up...But that only 'cause i have low self-esteem. But I'm not very preppy. :/

[QuirkBiscuits]

Sorry. It's not make-up (I wear some makeup often too), just the fact they wear so much of it all the time. There's this one girl in particular who cakes it on inch-thick, and at the end of every lesson she whips out her bag and puts on even more. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb166/DemonLlama7/icon_emot_sick.gif

[Tatterdemalion]

Yes, that's because she's a prostitute.

[QuirkBiscuits]

Okay LOL. I think you're right really. She said she's engaged (she's effing 14). Strange much? *raises eyebrows*

[Kanariya674]

Vampires - Thank you, the post way above for mentioning Twilight. Vampires are annoying. I'm tired of hearing about them. They aren't cool. Living off blood sucks, because blood tastes terrible. Twilight wouldn't be as annoying if fangirls didn't scream about it all the time. But still - Twilight being popular or unpopular, I don't care. Vampires still suck. I hate them.

Mirror Pictures - Because I associate them with teenage girls who have nothing better to do but take mirror pictures at about 50 different angles and then post them on the internet. Really guys. Go read a book.

Uggs - Do they actually keep you warm? The only reason I'd put on a pair is because if it was cold outside and I wanted to keep my little toes warm. Otherwise, no. I'm not paying 150 dollars for boots as a fashion statement. Maybe as a way to keep warm, but not a fashion statement.

And onto specific people. I only have one for the moment, because I will become angry if I start talking about more people who annoy the shit out of me.

Alright, I'm a very friendly person. I give people chances before I judge them by their cover, and I'm willing to understand them. But no, this one chick at my school, she has no hope. I will dub her, 'Ugly'. Because she is very ugly. Not only physically, but her personality sucks too.

Ugly just transferred to my high school from her catholic school. She tells people she was too 'badass' for catholic school, because she was caught doing drugs on school grounds. What really happened is that she was kicked out because she refused to change her hairstyle, because she has a really crappy haircut, and now has to go to public school. So now, she unfortunately attends my school. Ugly is very loud and obnoxious. She always has to scream, and bring attention to herself when no one could give a rat's scrotum about her life. Ugly wears very thick eyeliner, and her eyebrows are waxed off. She wears tight pants. She's trying to go for the 'I'm so punk and cool' look, when she's just only making herself look stupid and fake. Her voice is annoying, and did I mention she was obnoxious?

The other day I was trying to walk through the halls, and she and her boyfriend were walking hand in hand. Now, that's fine and dandy - but she was holding up the whole damn hallway. Just talking loudly and moving like a snail. I pushed her out of my way and told her to hurry the fuck up because people have to go to class. I don't care what she thinks of me. She's stupid and an attention whore who needs a slap in the face and a new haircut.

She's a freshman who smokes pot because she wants to fit in. A good friend of mine smokes, and she always tries to bum stuff from him. What a jerk. Buy your own shit.

Then I heard her say, "I'm a stoner! I love stoners! Smoking is so cool!"

I died inside. I think my friend will quit smoking just so he won't somehow be associated with her dumb self.

[QuirkBiscuits]

I know exactly how you feel. The girl I mentioned earlier is an awful lot like the one you described.

[Tatterdemalion]

Vampires - Thank you, the post way above for mentioning Twilight. Vampires are annoying. I'm tired of hearing about them. They aren't cool. Living off blood sucks, because blood tastes terrible. Twilight wouldn't be as annoying if fangirls didn't scream about it all the time. But still - Twilight being popular or unpopular, I don't care. Vampires still suck. I hate them.
Dracula can climb down walls like a lizard, commands an army of wolves, or any other nocturnal creatures, as well as an army of gypsies, can transform into anything he wants, from a dog to fog, can establish psychic connections with people, can summon fog out of nowhere, strikes fear into the hearts of millions of peasants, and anyone else he encounders, has superhuman strength, can remain young by drinking blood, and is virtually immortal.

Honestly, he is like the coolest person ever. How can you honestly look at that and say vampires suck (except maybe in the literal sense)?

[Tatterdemalion]

Oh, also something else I'd just like to say. I'm not familiar with the plot of this whole Twilight series, but I must say, I find it to be just tragic that a book about vampires (at least, I think it'ssupposed to be about vampires) can have a character named "Bella," but as a complete and utter conincidence.

I mean, really, if you're on the subject of vampires and you hear something like "Bella," who do you think of? What's that? Why, Bela Lugosi, of course. You know, the actor who essentially set the standard for Dracula's image and perception both in film and the popular consciousness overall? Yep, that's right.

Now, that being said, just think about the ability to cash in on that sort of allusion. Really, you'd actually be able to make it look as though you know what you're doing, and as though you're trying to seriously pay homage to an established genre, rather than just imitating a few of its most superficial themes as a means of having a platform on which to push a series of substandard pulp novels, in an attempt to reach a wider audience and almost be taken seriously. But no, it's a complete coincidence. For some reason that makes me angry.

[RationalInquirer]

Hehehe......Vampire Romance? Some people I know won't stop talking about this Twilight Series and it's starting to annoy the heck out of me. I read a little bit of the first chapter and cannot determine what the hype is all about. The plot seems to relentessly center upon some vampire and a girl who happens to be attractive as described in the book over and over and over again. Seriously, a good plot needs to delve into the inner feelings and motivations of characters involved, have some interesting sequences occur (fighting, betrayal, unorthodox evil villain) whether it be romance, action/adventure, horror etc...
As for Twilight, the author focussed too much on the superficial qualities of a person and rarely leaves this pattern.

[Kanariya674]

They aren't scary. Blame it on the vampire hype, but I just don't find them really scary. I don't like them, because their qualities bore me. I would hate to be immortal, and I have heard 'supernatural' traits like that over and over again, that they just don't appeal.

I don't like them. Nope.

[Tatterdemalion]

They're not scary to you because you're not a Romanian peasant. You feel all safe and secure in your modern world, with your industry, and technology, and psychology, and modern medicine, but vampires exist in order to serve as a reminder of just how limited and powerless those things really are.

And how do those qualities bore you? Yes, I'm sure you'd hate to be immortal. That's kind of the point. You're not supposed to want to be a vampire. Vampires and the supernatural exist to keep man in check.

It's like this. Historically it was Nature > Man. That's the way it always went. However, come the Industrial Revolution, there's this idea that comes around that somehow man has conquered nature, that man is above nature. So now we get the Supernatural to remind us that all that exists within the man made world is still not enough to contain what is greater than us, what is beyond our control. That's why it's called Gothic fiction.

[Kanariya674]

Great points, but uh..they still bore me. I've never admired their qualities, so they have never appealed to me.

As far as I know, it's still that way - Nature > Man. Not as bad in comparison, but still there. Always will be. Well, my point, don't like vampires. And that is that.

Back to ranting - I don't like school either. I dislike it more so when I have to go back after getting a quite nice Winter Break. ><

I know right?
The writer seems to have trouble with getting emotionally in-depth with the characters.
Also, it was based off a dream, but it still bugs me. I can't quite put my finger on why she couldn't have the main character become a little more dimensional[sp?].

More rants-

Writer's block- those who've written stories all know what I' m talking about. That horrible writer's block phase. When you just have absolutely no motivation to keep your imagination focused on your bundle of words. I'm so picky about how I write my stories!>.< So as you might imagine I have writer's block frequently, and its so frustrating and extremely annoying. I have yet to find a solution.

Dragging yourself to write apart of a story you don't want to: This happens. And most say "Well you don't want to write it, then don't" But what if it's essential to the plot? So yeah, I still feel I have to make it detailed- so I spend, like, two and a half hours of writing a whole chapter about some character going through something. Sometimes the situations I put my characters in seem like a good idea at first, then I come back to it and say "Wow! That was really stupid! That's gonna take alot of work to explain!" And I'm too lazy to trash the idea and start from scratch. Which, ultimately, leads to writing something I don't want to.

Mary-sues: Annoying and hard to avoid when writing. I think I've made my point on this.

People who won't listen to a song because a certain band sang it: I think this is stupid. Personally, if I don't like the artist, but I like the song-I'll listen to it, no matter what freakishly-religious Christians say. If I like songs from Tool, they shouldn't judge right off the bat who I am. I'm a Mormon, and Tool is very anti-god. But does that make me a non-christian? F*ck no. I pick out songs that I like. Who cares what the band believes in! A good song is a good song. >:[

Really quirky dreams: They annoy me. While sometimes inspirational; they end up effecting me in my every-day life. Last night I had a dream where this guy I really despised came and took a bath at my house. Next time I see this guy at school, I'll probably look at him really weird...
Also, I keep finding out that in my dreams where water is involved--there is always some type of creature lurking in there waiting to eat me...Why is this? First time is was some type of evil giant prehistoric fish at the bottom of the ocean. Second time it was a huge shark, and multiple sharks trying to eat me. And this time it was a 8 to 9 foot long alligator in the water! Is my sub-conscience trying to tell me to stay away from the deep end of the public swimming pool or what?

[killshot]

But does that make me a non-christian? F*ck no.

Why did I laugh so hard at this?

[agrajagthetesty]

If I like songs from Tool, they shouldn't judge right off the bat who I am. I'm a Mormon, and Tool is very anti-god. But does that make me a non-christian? F*ck no.
And conversely, I'm an atheist who frequently listens to gospel music, as well as more modern Christian or religious songs. And I salute you.

I agree with you about the weird dreams, too. I've had really weird dreams where my friends were acting in bizarre ways, and I could hardly face them the next day...

Twilight is terrible. Just terrible. I've read a decent amount of it, but I don't think I could stand the whole thing. It made me want to slit my wrists. I get my revenge by talking about things "literally sparkling" or "embedded with diamonds" whenever I get the chance. I'm with Tatterdemalion about Dracula though; he is one of the coolest, most iconic characters in all fiction.

But my main focus of hatred for today? Disgusting food that tastes good. Some day I will defeat you.

[KuroStarr]

Why did I laugh so hard at this?

Indeed. Why?

[RationalInquirer]

Twilight is complete nonsense. It does not represent a vampire in any way, shape, or form. We all know that a true vampire resides in at his throne in a monster ridden Castle. Sitting for hours on end in the exact location, waiting for an individual with the surname "Belmont" to arrive, slaughter their subjects, and kill them over and over and over again.

Vampires are apparantly immortal until the year 1999 when they can finally die for good.
They also make friends with the Grim Reaper.

[Fat1Fared]

KuroStarr, you know i seem to have a problem as writer, and it is I have so many ideas, that when I start one book, I will get idea for another and want to start that one instead lol

Well everyone just so know the vampire legend actually came from an illness which caused fake images of mind (cannot spell the the h word) and blood clotting, so for any vampire wannabe raped victim's, there you go

[KuroStarr]

And it is I have so many ideas, that when I start one book, I will get idea for another and want to start that one instead lol
Yup.
I have alot of ideas I have to open up a blank document and write them all down.
I should just combind them all into one and create the Ultimate Story.

[Fat1Fared]

someone already did that with the never ending story

And what is with that "The Never Ending Story" well tell me if wrong, but it had an ending and a BAD one at that

Then there is that Dog thing......

.....Several hours later, rant over

[KuroStarr]

Nope, my book will be titled, "Ultimate Book"
and it will be about rainbow-flatulent unicorns[see my avatar]

[Fat1Fared]

I don't even want to think about that <yikes>

[KuroStarr]

I don't even want to think about that <yikes>

lol.

[Omega]

Then I heard her say, "I'm a stoner! I love stoners! Smoking is so cool!"

God damn it, this is why everyone hates us. :(

[HippieAnarchist]

Oh man. Just as a lil salad on the side here, Has anybody seen Pineapple Express? I thought is was magnificent. I have absolutely no beef with it, which has to be a first. James Franco was pretty good when it came to acting stoned. Hmm...wonder if he's had alot of experience...I mean, just look at Spiderman 3. I have the right mind to think he was baked for the entire length of that movie.

Anywho, to get right to the meat of my rant, I recently saw a movie that I did have a beef with ( shocker...) called ""Bug", starring Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon, and Will & Grace's musician-turned-actor Harry Connick Jr.. The plot is as follows:

The loser and lonely waitress Agnes lives in a cheap motel in Okalahoma grieving the disappearance of her beloved son Lloyd ten years ago. Her abusive ex-husband Jerry Goss has just left prison on probation and is insistently calling her. When her colleague and only friend, the lesbian RC, brings her drifter acquaintance Peter Evans to visit her, they have an affair and Peter stays with Agnes in her room. Peter finds bugs in their bed, and discloses to Agnes that he was a soldier in the Gulf War submitted to experiments by the army and presently he is infested with bugs. Agnes feels the same symptoms and the couple believes in Peter's conspiracy theory of the American government.

Now, I picked this film thinking it would point out the flaws of the American Justice System. Instead, it was based on a conspiracy on a conspiracy and so on, built like bricks made of dust, one over the other. In short, I detested this movie. If this movie crawled in top of a 300 year old French landmine and exploded like fireworks on the 4th of JULY, I would fall to my knees and praise God or Buddha or both. It was that bad. God forbid another human soul ever watch Michael Shannon ever attempt to act again.

[Kanariya674]

God damn it, this is why everyone hates us. :(

LOL

Except now she's doing cocaine, and I really hope you don't do that.

[HippieAnarchist]

LOL

Except now she's doing cocaine, and I really hope you don't do that.

Now children, don't buy drugs. Become a musician and they give them to you for free.

[Zairak]

I find it terrible that this thread was allowed to die.

I could go into a long rant on the fall of Serious Discussions here but I don't think I will. The first sentence summed it up well enough, I believe.

[TheOcean]

You know what I want to vent about? How parents have the gall to be put out when you don't wish to bend to your every whim. If you don't do what they want you're fucked cause they get mad or disappointed in you. If you do what they want you have to hate every fucking minute of it.

[Emelinee]

I hate it when I can't write. Not because I don't have the time, but just because my imagination disappears completely. When I'm under pressure to get school work done, I'll have plenty of ideas, but as soon as I have free time, I can barely write a thing! The whole month between doing my GCSEs and getting the results was spent with my being terrified that I'd failed all of them, because I'd spent all the time that should have gone into revising by writing fanfiction.

But then as soon as I have a whole six weeks to do nothing but write, it all goes. And it's getting worse, ever since I started A Level. I'm exhausted all day, and I haven't written anything in weeks. I hate it.

Another thing I hate about writing? I can spend hours- even days- planning a fanfic or a novel and go into insane detail, but then I just can't be bothered to actually write it. What's wrong with me? I've had things planned for two years that I still haven't gotten around to writing! And the longer I leave them, the more I lose interest in them! At this rate, I won't be writing anything, because I'll have gone off all of my ideas!

We're having somewhat of the same problem. I've been trying to sit down at my computer, open up a word document, and start typing. Unfortunately, the word document just remains blank and I end up getting nothing done! It sucks, because I truly want to write some fanfiction. I have some ideas swirling around, but they don't want to come out on paper or word document.

It sounds like you should set some time for this fanfiction and just start writing. At least you have some details going for your story. Maybe make an outline, or start writing down the details and go from there? Some people start with the middle of the story and work their way from there. I don't know, if I need answers I just ask Google people.

[EZE]

I'm good.

[Lily x]

I'm going to have a nice rant on hom much I HATE the new surviving high school season.
I mean, before ig was kinda a guilty pleasure and some of the characters had REALLY grown on me (Nick, Sara, Taylor, Zoe and Emily in the final episodes) I really was quite sad when Sara died and liked Emily's ambition to carry on her legacy in the novel. Guess what, new update and season. Major fuck up more like.

First, I hate the fact old major characters have been pushed out to make room for two totally unrelated storylines (Emily+ Ben storyline and Zoe+Howard+Owen storyline) That means Taylor has been reduced, as has Nick. I mean, he was in a relationship with Sara when she died, he deserves at least ONE episode about him now. Also Denni and Colt are nonexistant, as are the Spartans, Nerds and rebels. Even Wilson high, the old villains have yet to appear. I am not fond of Paige as a major character, Nate is lame and I'm not keen on Owen as he is to simular to John in the early episodes with Raven, Beth and Adam. I can stand Emily though. However, their is too much EmilyxBenxCameron live trianglr and not enough about her life and Sara.

I also hate the new designs. I used to REALLY like Zoe, she was up with my favoroutes along with Nick, Denni, Sara and Howard. Now, I have gone off her. Before she was a shy, overly nice tomboy. Now she is a bland whore. Her new design kills her 'nice tomboy' feel of her old one and she is too confident and bleh. Ben's design is a bit weird too, plus he has had like 3 designs already. Plus, the new sprites look weird against sprites of say Sam or Howard's who have been there since the early days.

My final point is the story. As I have stated it, the Zoe storyline is horrible IMO and the Emily is ok, but not a touch on older ones. Plus they seem to have thrown all previous events out of the window like, they began to give Maria a persinality, decide a new head cheerleader, show Zoe directly after breaking up with Howard, Sam's lovelife. Nope, all screwed. So unless I have overead something, those gaps are there and it drives me NUTS.

If you are still here, thanks for reading my rant, feel free to voice your opinion but don't troll/flame over it.
