Emotions:

I find emotions, from a scientific perspective, to be fairly meaningless except for the fact that they reaffirm certain concepts that are already buried in human's subconscious (such as "this feels good, I should continue to do this" or "this feels bad, I shouldn't continue to do this"). Except in the cases where listening to emotions simply keeps you alive, I see them more as distractions and hindrances to leading a scientific, logically-lead life, which bothers me. The main reason to listen to emotions, from what I can tell, is to live happily, which isn't the point, nor a necessity for, life. It's not necessarily a problem for people to live in this way, but it's a way of life that has no appeal to me.

Valentines Day:

A holiday based around the conceptual idea of true love, which is quite possibly one of the most destructive, hurtful, and in my opinion, evil, concepts in existance, merely for the sake of card companies like Hallmark being able to make money off of it. Utterly repulsive, in my opinion, terrible concept. The only reason February 14th has any meaning to me is because it's my mom's birthday.

Its like shes trying to be a lame version of Marlon Brando.

"What're you rebelling against, Johnny?"
"Whaddya got?"

I hate the type of people who declare themselves to be so bada$$ but wont put their money where their mouth is. If you wont throw a punch then dont take a stand, because the other team isn't going to hit you first and get slapped with an assault charge. Cowards way out. At least have the common decency to make it Self Defense on the part of the other guy.

Well said, Partymember and pitbulllady. That's pretty much the way I feel about it in regards to her. At the same time on that matter, it disturbs me to see people apparently feel ANY culture is objectively superior to another culture, especially when that culture is a culture different from your own and you find yourself unable to take pride in your own culture.

Now, I'm not the most patriotic fellow in the world, but I'd be lying if I didn't feel SOMETHING for this country (whether that's objectively good or bad, I'm uncertain). I love the cultures of other countries, but I enjoy the culture I was raised with the most, and I suppose it just irks me to see someone not only proclaim one culture to be objectively greater than another, but to forsake their own given culture in favor of another. I don't think there's a problem with some dissent against your own culture, but to say you hate it....I feel like there's something wrong there.

And bravo on your statement about making a stand, Partymember.

You dont get stuck in a senior gym class in 7th grade and not learn a thing or two about getting beat up 8D

anyone ever play a game where you spend forever leveling up and doing tasks to further the game along, and then die when you are getting close to a place where you can rest and save?

the feeling sucks. :(

But California is REALLY INSANE! Sorry if I replied too late, but, There are idiots everywhere. ;) That's what I say. ;)


Early bedtimes tick me off.

Agreed... Man, it's so easy to find about 100+ of these online without even trying. My pet peeve? Teen girls exactly like this who literally, word for word, say "Don't make me mad or I will be your worst nightmare! That's a promise!"

My worst nightmare is being covered head to toe in vomit, not some internet 15-year-old with too much makeup and a superiority complex.

The cyborg is female. The kid is male.

NOW tell me that Japan and California aren't similar in insanity!

While we're on the topic of 15-year-old girls on the internet, who have too much make-up and a superiority complex(which is usually a thin cover for an INFERIORITY complex), that reminds me of one of MY pet peeves-overzealous, extremely possessive teen fangirls! I bet Antgirl and Vampyre will know one of whom I refer right now, who is so insane over a particular male character-Wilt-that if anyone posts artwork or fanfiction on DA featuring him with a female character, either from the show or an OC, she will often spam their site with profanity-laden threats, simply because the female character isn't HER. She has threatened to kill DA members, and has threatened to kill people on her web journal, too, simply because they expressed finding Wilt attractive. She's got a little "clique" of friends who support her and are apparently her classmates, who join her in her attacks against other users on DA or other sites. She's like a real-life human version of Berry, just nowhere near as smart or resourceful! She's actually only 13, though.

pitbulllady

i dont even want to know 8D

O_O; I thought it was the other way around! Yep. They GOT to similar in Insanity levels NOW!


Then again, we got some weird looking stuff in Wisconsin, too. Toilet shaped Tornado Sirens anybody?

http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...adison9_wi.jpg

All I can think about is mistaking something like that for a real toilet, trying to use it, and what happens when it goes off. :o :wiltshock: 8D

I only wish they would GROW UP and realize that they CAN'T have Wilt, because of the main and OBVIOUS reason:

He isn't real.

Sadly, the fangirlus possessivous can't accept that.

yes, that is a stumbling block 8D

You know, if you compile enough of this, it'll be wortha submission to Fandom Wank.

Wait, threatening to kill people? Man, since you have that in digital form, there's the temptation to send her to court. threatening to kill someone is illegal in the states, right?

She's in England, though, so there's a slight problem with things like extradition. But yeah, she has made death threats against several people, either directly or indirectly, like sending someone a PM with a picture of a handgun pointed at them, all because they either expressed finding Wilt attractive, or expressed support for Wilt x someotherfemale. This chick actually refers to herself as "Wilt's Wife", by the way, on several sites, in spite of the fact that she's 13 and I seriously doubt that Wilt is a pedophile. She also is into another thing that really ticks me off-the "blame a younger sibling" game. You know-spam someone's site with profanity and threats and name-calling, then disappear for a short while, then come back on a apologize, claiming that her jerky little brother got ahold of her computer and passwords and went to all the sites she visited and posted all this awful stuff, but you can tell it's really her all along. All you have to do is mention how handsome Wilt is, and she goes off again. Absolute certifiable nutcase if ever there was one!

pitbulllady

Well, she's just some mouthy brat who's gone internet-crazy. Just ignore her as below your notice. Hopefully she grows up to be tremendously embarrassed by all this.

y'know, I kinda wanna find this chick and have a little fun messin' with her.

Revenge is sweet
 

As some of you know, I have been having no end of problems with my inconsiderate upstairs neighbors and their loud music. Management and their lazy maintainence chief have made it pretty clear that as long as the rent is paid, they don't give a (deleted) about what goes on in this craphole. Well fine, if money is the only thing that matters to them, it's time to hit them in the wallet. And so I did. My weapon of choice? The city Housing Authority. The Building Inspector dropped by less than an hour ago and at my request will be performing a surprise inspection very soon. I already know that he will find several violations - violations that Management will be forced to spend a few thousand dollars to fix and repair. And there's not a damn thing they can do to get out of it. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever; they brought this on themselves. I don't care who you are, if you frack me off enough, eventually I'm going to strike back. And it's going to hurt. :frankiemad:

Way to go, Cass!:clap: You've put up with a lot at that place and you certainly have a right to bring anything questionable to the attention of inspectors. They pushed you, you bent over backwards to tolerate them, now they can start to pick up the slack for a change.
You pay to live there too, so you have a right to voice any complaints you have. Here's hoping that things turn around and you can enjoy some peace and quite before too long. Everyone has a right to an uninterrupted sleep.

Yeh that's a much better solution than I ever came up with for that particular problem. :bendy:

As long as they don't find out that you're the one who did it. Then you'd be the one paying.

...and then Cass struck like the majestic cobra :cheese:

please be sure to fill us in on what goes down :)

As you and I have discussed Cass, I did something similar - only in the workplace. I hope your landlord does have a no-retaliation policy. He might find a way to get back at you. Let me know about the policies in check.:frankiesmile:

I would have to say that I'm pretty ticked off at the media source that leaked out the information that Prince Harry is serving in Afghanistan. That was confidential information for a very good reason, and by leaking that info they made the prince and his comrades high priority targets, putting them in great danger.
Fortunately, measures have been taken and the prince will be removed to safety, but I hope no one gets put in any greater danger than they need to be because of this slip up.

Gotta love the media. :P They perform a useful, valuable service but they need to learn that not all information should be broadcast to the world. Sometimes it's in everyone's interest to shut the hell up and back off. :frankiemad:

poor guy, he seems to want to kick some a$$ but these newsmedia goons keep mucking around in his buisness...

omg I love Prince Harry.

:( It's so stupid that someone leaked it out, because, now they're gonna want to pull him out of there. I respect him so much for being over there like any regular person. How awesome is that?

It reminds me of that time when that SOB Geraldo Rivera, reporting from Iraq, more or less said, "Okay, world, this is where our troops are, and this is the plan..." Someone should have shot him on the spot. :edmad:

my ps2. and probably my memory card as well. because now i cant seem to play guitar hero 3. which isnt something i wanted to hear after failing miserably in god of war. >:[

Someone should, but I don't think we can execute people for treason anymore. Despite what the Patriot Act may or may not say (and it is a little disturbing), we can't even mistreat prisoners in secret.

I think execution and torture should still be viable options. Thats what ticks me off. Our soldiers get shot at, blown up, dragged through streets, tortured, and we have to send those #@$%&*% to some cushy prison if we capture them? And people complain that they havent recieved a fair trial yet! GOOD! KILL THEM! i hate political correctness, oh how i hate it.

Ugh...I think this current discussion is in danger of getting seriously ugly. I'd like to side-step it, if I may.

Windows Movie Maker is what's ticking me off right now. It's gotten into this frustrating little rutt wherein, whenever I try to open up a saved project, 19 out of 20 times (if that) it just announces that it's encountered an error and has to close, whilst giving me the option of sending one of those useless error report things or not (useless because it's not as though anyone actually responds to them).

Also high on my personal hitlist are kids who somehow think it's cool or clever to wander around public places pretending to have tourette's syndrome - shouting random curse words in that automated tone of voice, and the like. They're not fooling anyone; moreover, they're merely displaying their immense ignorance as to what tourette's syndrome actually is and how it works.

Augh, I have only one thing that is ticking me off right now. MY COMPUTER. A while ago, I was having big problems with it, mostly because way too much stuff was downloaded on it. I couldn't get to my e-mail, I couldn't open up Netscape or Internet Explorer. It was bad. My father uninstalled everything and re-installed everything. Then I came to the horrific realization that on Microsoft Word, all of my important school papers and reports were gone. Now I have to spend as much time as I can on the computer typing up all of my papers again. Right now I'm furious. I have to re-type my 5,000 word Science Fair report. Woopee.

And jekylljuice, I know how you feel about the 'tourettes' thing. I have seen many people (mostly kids) screaming out random curse words on the street. That really ticks me off as well, since I have three friends who have tourette syndrome. If someone actually was screaming random curse words on the street, I'd be able to figure out if they HAVE tourettes. I have never seen or heard of someone who has that kind of tick, though.

Me too, I have a friend with Tourette's and the swearing tick is massively rare. It's a terrible stereotype but people are fascinated and amused with the idea that someone might have a tick like that so the entire condition is constantly misrepresented and made light of.

And Windows Movie Maker always does that on this computer, but not on my other one, so I have to do all my projects on that one. :P Oh well.

I have a new one, people who Type Like This All The Time. I mean people who speak/type perfect English, But For Some Reason Think This Is The Proper Way To Type. It actually annoys me more than PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN ALLCAPS ALL THE TIME. What's up with capitallising only the first letter of every single word? That's only for titles. Why do people do that? :terrconf: It's a mystery.

It's irritating is what it is. Nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I always wonder if they type like that for school.

I'm thinking now that it may be a problem with my RAM, since Windows Movie Maker isn't the only thing that's being affected. I'm currently embarking upon a massive clean-out to get rid of as many excess or unwanted films and programmes as I can, but if that doesn't make a difference, looks like I might have to be prepared to shell out a little for some additional memory. :P

People Who Don't Understand They Have Lesser Opinions:

Everyone is allowed to have an opinion, understand that I agree completely with that. However, not everyone's opinion is equal; some are more valid and, thus, worth more than others. Not all opinions are equal in their validity.

My Co-Workers and Customers:

I have a hard time putting up with my co-workers and the people who shop at my store. The majority of them seem to be genuinely unable to use any form of logic in doing anything, and, that being the case, I have a hard time bringing myself to help them and do so only because it's required by my job.

Fans Who Feel Show Writers/Creators Owe Them:

"What are you talking about? They've provided you with countless hours of free entertainment. If anything, YOU owe THEM!" - Bart Simpson

That's pretty much how I feel on the matter. Personally, I believe that fans should have NO say on how a series progresses or how it works, as they can only make things worse. The fans are free to have opinions, but in no way should the creators or writers of a series feel indebted to their fans.
