Because everyone at that commencement likely had to make their way through a picket line full of angry self-righteous neanderthal-men armed with banners and pictures of dead babies to get there. I seriously doubt Obama wanted to talk about abortion, but if he didn't after the great big circus from Hell the anti-abortionists set up around it, it would have been like the big grizzly bear on Harvey Birdman: AaL that nobody ever points out is in the room. Or in the words of George Carlin, a giant turd floating around in the punchbowl that nobody ever points out. His hand was forced; he had to talk about abortion.

The play was f*** dismal.

Also, I know schoolbuses are freaking annoying, with the stop and go bullcrap, but what you don't do is, speed right past the f*** schoolbus when it's stopped.

Also, who the hell steals a laptop case? The laptop wasn't gone, just the f*** case. Christ, people.

This isn't really venting so much as just a rhetorical question which I don't really expect anyone to answer.

I can understand why nobody would want the terror suspects from Guantanamo Bay being kept in their states. . . But here's my question: If we could find a place for Charlie Manson, why can't we find a place for them?

I'm sorry, but some of the people we already have in our prisons scare me ten times more than the people locked up in Gitmo. If we can find room for our home grown nutjobs, why not our imports as well?

Every day I pray to the Goddess Megan Fox so that more hot girls can come to the school. And every day, she doesn't answer my prayers.

Not really a vent, just me complaining about the drastic deficit of attractive females at my place of education.

I have no sympathy for a guy who is alone because he'll only have a 'hot' girl.

Ahhh... He didn't say he was alone...

He just wanted more "eye-candy" at his school. :lol:

He doesn't realize that "eye-candy" is 75% makeup and attitude. Some of the hottest Supermodels today were "blah" in school, simply because they weren't initerested in pretty; they were interested in grades. :wink:

Meh, I'm not looking for a life long companion, just someone who'll look good hanging on my arm. That's the truth of the matter.

Are you rich and/or look good yourself? If not, give it up, because the only women that will consider hanging on your arms will be just as shallow and materialistic as you're making yourself out to be.

Really, if all you care about is looks, you deserve a girl that will pick your pocket and rot your brain with her presence.

Gawd! I know people can be petty and shallow, but I never thought anyone would ever broadcast it openly (at least not outside of the Jerry Springer Show anyway).

Oh, please Terestas , get off your high horse. If I wanted someone to love who loved me back I’d buy another dog. I’m not looking for starry eyed teenage “twu wuv”, the last time I did that it ended poorly, and when it was done I felt tired and like I’d wasted two years on a emotion that was completely false. I’d rather waste three weeks and all of my parent’s fortune on someone who’s hot rather than two more years and all the hollow promises on someone ugly. So, yes I am shallow Terestas, I’m a f*** shallow, petty, vindictive asshole who cares more about what a woman looks like than her personality at this point in my life.

Do you have a problem with that? Because if it does I’ll add it to the vast list of personal problems I have to correct right away, because someone on the internet finds them offensive.

Bloodyredbaron, cool your jets man. You did kind of light a fuse you know. If your controversial outlook on life offends multiple members on this forum, that's the kind of issue the moderators will intervene with if it leads to flaming. If you don't care to listen politely to the opinions of members here, perhaps you should keep it to yourself.

Terastas, probably best just to leave him alone at this point. It doesn't look like anyone's opinions matter to him in relation to his life outside of the internet, like many many others.

Moving on...

All I can say is Baron I hope your next life is spent as an unattractive female so you can see firsthand just how much fun that life is.
Then you can be tormented all through your childhood, barked at in the halls in high school, snubbed through young adulthood, and never get a job you're more than qualified for because you aren't cute enough. You will never get out of a single ticket or get a free drink and nobody will ever listen to anything you have to say because you are less than human for not being pretty.
That is what I wish on you.

Awww, Pariah, I met you before and you are very pritty. And a fun conversationalist. Don't sell yourself short. :D

I wasn't very good looking for a long time, until I got to high school. All that bullying and name calling ended abruptly. Now I'm out of college and basically an Owen Wilson look-alike (without the broken nose). :lol:

Didn't end for me. -_-

I appreciate you trying to be nice, but the way people still treat me says otherwise.
At least I have a mate with enough character to get past my looks(or lack thereof).

It's my firm opinion that people who couldn't give a crap less abut anyone's opinion except their own shouldn't bother sharing their opinion with everyone else.

Kind of a bit of hypocrisy to say "I don't care" when he bothered to put it up on the Internet where the entire world can see it, no? He's not apathetic -- he just didn't get the kind of response he was looking for.

Personally, I think that's why a lot of people do fret over looks and pass judgment and/or give crap to anyone that doesn't meet their expectations: because they're pitiful excuses for human beings, they know it and are insecure about it, and hyper-materialism is their way of trying to overcompensate for it. You see a guy with a hot piece of arm candy, I see a guy insecure about the size of his *ahem* that thinks he's fooling us into believing otherwise.

Seriously, I am not envious of anyone that seems to have it all. Isn't that always how the real life murder mysteries on Dateline start?

It wasn't your opinion that set me off, it was your holier than thou attitude, of course I must admit I should have expected nothing else from you.

Which was a cheap laugh, instead I get treated like I just announced I was planning on assassinating the president. That set me off too.

Do you even read what I post or do you just skim?

Pot, meet kettle. I hope the two of you are very happy together.
because they're pitiful excuses for human beings,


I have nothing but contempt for you too, Terestas.

Challenging my manhood, that's classy Terestas.

Petty is a word that describes me pretty well, so it's hard to argue this point.
and a lack of manhood here.
What's with you people and insulting my genitals all of a sudden? Is this the bog standard method of insulting outsiders or are you just following Terestas' lead?

My comment was not directed exclusively at you, Baron. It takes two to argue, after all. ; )

This is a vent thread, alright, but I wish people realized this was a vent-at-other-members-here thread.

All Right: You asked for it... :lol:

Moderator's warning: :P

Let's steer away from personal stuff below the belt.

There will be one exception made:
If the person doing the below-the-belt stuff can prove that they have actual knowledge of their target's structures and can compare them to at least half-a-dozen other individuals on a point-by-point basis...
I'll start deleting posts containing such slams.
And you'll never know when I'm around, either... :evil:

Mods CAN "stop arguments" whenever we like, but that tends to ignite even more arguments that nobody ever wants to deal with. (Besides, something tells me that the two perpetrators here live for this kind of stuff...)

Good god I hate this [expletive] town!

Ever since the digital transition (another rant entirely), my mother and I have tried everything to get our damn TV reception to work, and frankly, if it wasn't for the fact that I need the basic channels just to do my new freakin' job properly (my first job after eighteen freakin' months unemployed), I would have just given up on TV as a whole by now.

Anyway, we tried the converter box, a digital TV and a digital antenna and all of them absolutely sucked, so we finally gave up and decided to reconnect with cable. We had Comcast before and they were absolutely brutal; they jacked up the prices on us, would cut our connection a day before the bills were due and take their sweet time reconnecting; they treated us like we should have felt grateful to be spending top dollar for their piss-poor service.

So this time we went to the Verizon store, where the guy behind the counter regretfully informed us that they couldn't help us. Turns out this town made a deal with Comcast to prohibit any of their competitors from doing business here.

What kind of crap is that?!

This is a town with broken roads, crap tap water, not a single friggin' traffic light anywhere to be seen. . . Where the hell does all this money from all of these rotten deals the town is making go?!! It's like a dumbed down version of the Bush/Cheney policies!

If you ever come to Massachusetts, I'm warning you: stay the hell out of Ipswich. It is rotten to the core (I'm sure H.P. Lovecraft made Innsmouth and Ipswich neighbors in his writing for a reason now). And since my current work situation 100% prohibits me from boycotting Comcast, all I can do is ask you to do it instead.
