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…

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...

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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'>

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.*

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
