I'm mad as hell!

rural good ol boys intent on sealing off the borders

don't let it get to you, just smile and pat them on the head

Because the US does have english as it's official language. :rolleyes: We were one vote away from having German be the official language when the founding fathers were mapping stuff out.

Gotta love these people. Why can't we all just be citizens of the world? *sigh*

Maybe I'm just constipated, or it's almost my time, in which case the former won't be a problem.

And it's not as if all of our involvement in other countries has been just helping them. It's not like people are homeless in Washington DC only BECAUSE we're spending too much effort helping other people in other countries. There are other factors. Jeezus.

My favorite is the completely ignorant people devoid of any deductive logic or interest in politics whatsoever, but will just bandwagon because of one issue.

I remember reading on some kid's website "Screw you motherfuckers who want to take 'under god' out of the pledge! Go back to your own country!" Funny, the guy who started that whole mess a while back was white, and born in this country. Amazing how some people just detach themselves and refuse to even attempt to have a rational independant thought.

It seems to me that the issue here is your anger. Anger can and should be controlled. Anger is a destructive emotion. A form of depression that is treatable. On the other hand, anger can also be looked at as a volcano. It builds up pressure until it erupts. The challange is to channel that anger so that it doesn't hurt the people we love. To be angry at the world the way it is doesn't solve anything.

Then again, I could be someone who has no clue what they are talking about.

Ending this post now because I need to get up to get another beer.

Peace~

I just tonight watched American History X. And then we watched some documentory on National Geographics on the SS and Himler and stuff and a friend just said I can't believe people in Germany actually believed that shit about Arians and stuff, and I was like Just look at America today, like not all americans but those who pray to god for bush to be reelected. Democracy will bring the world down. I mean I really don't think the majority always knows the best answer.

i'm really fucking angry too. i need something smushy to squeeze or else this laptop is going through the television

whoever wrote that is a dirty queer. and most likely from texas.

not about the letter. did i mention that? unrelated ire

This got you angry? It barely got a chuckle out of me. I know lots of people who think this way. People like oversimplifications and easy answers. This document is pretty much a list of nothing but those. Of course they won't work. Whoever wrote it probably was thinking they're a brilliant satire writer or something. They weren't serious. They were just trying to provoke attention. By giving them the anger they want, you fall into their trap.

Take a deep breath. Count to ten. Go for a brisk walk. This is no more inflammatory than the nihilism that pervades Chuck's work. The main difference is its complete lack of eloquence, subtlety, and merit.

No, the guy who wrote this was serious. He really thinks this way, and he probably does know a lot about politics. It's the ability to interpret knowledge that he lacks. I bet you anything the guy that wrote this is 16 or 17 years old, and smart for his age. He probably found a way to see past both popular and unpopular opinion, and came up with his own little way of thinking that he was eager to share. I bet he's disliked in high school and unhappy at home, and in a few years, maybe months, he'll look back on what he wrote and think it's retarded, and go on to better things. Sometimes people aren't stupid assholes, they're just wrong, and I think that's the case with this guy.

I don't know, I've seen different versions of this same tired rant all over the internet. [URL=http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/williams.asp]Here's a different version of the same shit[/URL]. In that case, the cloak of anonymity is used to attribute this to Robin Williams. Sometimes George Carlin is used on similar shit, or Larry King, or Bill O' Reilly, or whatever. It's people airing out their mental dirty laundry in some blog where they can rant with impunity, rather than in a forum like this where someone might disagree with them.

If someone isn't willing to expose themselves to open debate when they make blunt statements like this, then what's the point in getting pissed about it? It's digital graffiti as far as I'm concerned. Sure, maybe the guy (or girl... stupidity isn't sexist) really believes some of this, but if there's no recourse for us to debate it, then why bother giving it credence?

Why is a question you aren't supposed to ask on the internet. As I say to my brother, who is a stranger to the net, this is a place where a guy pays money every month to host a website where there's a fat girl upside down in a bath tub pissing into the air. He gets nothing from it, but he does it anyway. The internet is a place where things happen for truely no reason.

[QUOTE=Maddetchke Malorkus]I am so angry and I don't know how to express it. I'm angry on large and small scales. And it's a deep, deep grooved anger that is not surfacing like normal anger where I'm angry on the outside and reacting. It's more of a steady heavy ball of anger underneath. I don't know how to deal with it. I'm angry at the mindset of people who write, share, and appreciate the kinds of emails I get forwarded to me like this one I attached. Not even the people themselves, just the way the world is, the way human beings are. Pisses me off.[/QUOTE]
i love these things. i mean, yeah, there's some valid points being made in some of these good ol' forwards, but jesus christ people take a moment to think about what you're reading and passing along. the next time i get one of these innocent-enough looking forwards, i'm going to write a dissertation on why it's misguiding and why you're an idiot for passing along, and tell them if they don't forward it to ten people in ten minutes God will smite them.

Hell yeah ! shame on anyone having a different opinion then the rest of us !

you voted for bush and you live in ohio, you're banned from this thread.

prezactly !

fuck.

yeah.

Don't blame me... I stayed home on election day. Because that's when the terrorists will break into your house and ejaculate into your underwear drawer.

I saw a thing about it on Fox News.

that wasn't the terrorists, it was the lesbian's for jesus groups.

I feel bad for bringing it here, even. I passed it on - with a negative view - but I still passed it on. It still got read. The purpose of it was to get read and in my passing it on that got 'er did.

you suck. i can't believe you passed it on.

What are you now, Minuet's understudy?

I just spent like five minutes looking for this. You have to move threads either immediatly or not at all.

Fuck whoever moved this!

Edit: In the ass!

i'm sorry that you had to look for a thread. god forbid!!

p.s. i don't have to do anything, ever.

Agent: Hello, is this Adolf Hitler?

Hitler: Speaking.

Agent: Yeah, I was just looking over the manuscript for "Mein Kamph", and you do know that the Aryans came from Northern India, right?

Hitler: What?

Agent: The Aryans were from Northern India.

Hitler: No, they were from Scandanavia. They were white. Blond hair and blue eyes.

Agent: Uh, you're wrong about that.

Hitler: Well, I'm not doing a total rewrite. I've got this whole thing planned out with the this white-skinned master race, and I'm totally going to seize power and stuff, and invade Poland... I have the uniform designs all sketched out and everything! Aryans couldn't have lived on the Indian subcontinent, people who are a different color than me are weird and scary!

Agent: Yeah... good luck with that.

Hitler: Fine! I'll just self-publish then!

Is this from southpark?
because if so....

it is, and why aren't you in bed? its late.

good im glad its from South Park..it brings on good memories

and i can't find my jammies so im not going to bed

i can't sleep, but it has nothing to do with jammies. i just need an actor, or an agent, or a production company who accepts unsolicited material, or someone with a DV cam willing to loan it out, or or or or or...

This rant is indicative of the type of people I deal with daily being in the military. Even in the intelligence career field, where people are supposed to be a bit smarter than the average bear, it is prevalent.

OH man, I remember this now. I thought it was this thing from a Jerry Springer episode. Or Jenny Jones or something.

I love you Jenny, "Hey guys...how does my hair look?"

It's from South Park but on that South Park episode they were mking fun of people on those talk shows so you were correct.

I'm put in mind of this one guest on Jenny Jones who thought she was the Bee's Knees and was arguing with the audience.

She was accused of being a trans-gender type and just kept saying over and over, 'Did yo mamma have a sex change?'

It was amazing!

It is so important that people who think they're "all that" be told the truth. I love those shows, never a fan of Jerry Springer though. It was too over the top. I liked the subtlty of the others - Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones, Sally Jesse - they at least sometimes appeared to have sincere attempts to help people. Sally was always so good with the kids.

I couldn't watch Sally, she didn't look real.

Jerry was good to watch if you were eating something complicated for dinner (like fajitas) because you can pay attention to your food and the show will still assault your senses. That Steve from Jerry Springer (the security guy) is a hero.

im almost ashamed to admit this but ive had family members on the Rikki Lake show before
