Angry rants galore

March 25, 2008, 3:40 AM

Not entirely sure where to post this, it might be more suited for a debate section, but w/e. Here goes.

1. I'm goddamn sick of all these nonconformist teenagers and college students whining and complaining about current society and how things would be better if we went back to an agrarian society or a bartering/trading system where salt and livestock were used as currency. Go away with your stupid anarcho-primitivism, living in the fields philosophizing all day or trying to find new ways to use manufactured goods to not be "sheep." Well you know what? I'm damn happy being a "sheep", it's convenient and comfortable and enjoyable. I know teens usually go through a spell where they'd rather philosophize about how everything sucks and think the world's problems could be solved by being primitive, but when the hell did it become so popular and widespread?

2. I'm tired of seeing all these people running around with Eurocunt mindsets. You know, the whole "America r bad, all Americans r stupid, warmongering, fat hicks." We're not. I know President Bush is a complete idiot, but hell, even he isn't a warmonger. He's just being manipulated, his sheer idiocy is what makes him such a great pawn for Cheney and contractors out to profit from war. Some countries (like the Muslim ones) think America is bad for it's decadence, we have excessive food and throw around money like it's nothing, etc. Be that as it may, we're not a bad country, we're not evil, and all things considered, America kicks the ass of alot of other countries. It's a pretty nice place to live.

3. All this political correctness and uber sensitivity makes me sick. OH NOES! Be careful you don't make a race joke or call someone overweight, you might offend them and hurt their feelings, and lord knows thats the worst crime you can commit! Seriously, people tread on eggshells because they're afraid they might hurt some little pussy's feelings. What the hell happened to growing a pair and not letting it bother you? And the entire hypocrisy of the racial thing drives me insane. It's perfectly acceptable for a Jew or black or Mexican or homosexual to make fun of other races or demographics, but when a white person makes a simple joke, they're immediately branded as a racist and will likely get their ass beat. Buncha damned hypocrites use it as a leverage point, where else would they get their lawsuits?

Are you serious? I've never heard young people saying that, but it sounds rubbish to me. Sounds something that a hippy would say. Heh try living in a an Amish community.

The problem is with that is the way American Media is shown and expressed. From what I heard in other countries most news is American news. As an American I find that to be rather ridiculous. Major news is fine such as 9/11 but even major news should have a certain limit. Anyways, I don't see why the world should care about our election. Briefly mentioned on the news is fine but not push on non-Americans. That's why most of the world dislikes us. America this, America that, here's more American products! I don't blame why non-Americans dislike us. Americans then to push themselves on the world. It also could be pure jealously since were a world power.

In my opinion, some people just need to grow some balls and deal with it. Sure, words are hurtful but you just need to deal with it. A random person in public could say something offensive, and you probably don't know anything about who is he/she. A person could say it out of anger, just to be a jerk, or just having a bad day. We've all been offended but you just need to move on and forget about it.

My friends make fun of each other all of the time. If you get offended then basically your a pussy. =/ If someone called me a spic I would say: "Yeah I'm Hispanic/Spanish, so what?" I have a black friend, I have a few Jewish friends, I have an Irish, a Italian friend, and a few German friends. Of course we joke about our nationalities and race, and we laugh about it. I could call Erythritol a nazi or a cracker and she wouldn't care.

The only thing holding me back from America is that anybody can own a gun, and well, sorry to be a little pussy, I honsetly dont really want to get shot be a gansta... But, saying that, I should still be scared, I live in an absolute hole, actually, most of the places around where I live are holes as well... wait, going off topic

Thats another reason. When I watch the news (A 15 year old watches the news, BLASPHEMY!!!) every 10 or so minutes, "now, in america, blah blah blah" and theeeeennnn, we get another 10 minutes of what some american popstar/famous person/model/who the hell cares did last night that was 'innapropiate' according to our grandparents. Sorry, not to offend anyone, BUT I HONESTLY COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT!!!

Darkstar, please don't double post. If you feel something else needs to be added then please make sure you edit the post until we get our auto-merge feature back. Thank you! ~Garnet

Meh, in one sense I can sort of understand the thing with the news. They wanna know if the next president is gonna be a jackass who does his own thing and invades other countries or not. But as for the invasion of American products and all that other stuff...yeah, that has some merit to it, I think Rammstein's song Amerika sums it up pretty well.

Hahaha, well you just kinda have to watch where you live. Most places are relatively safe, it's just bigger cities like Chicago or LA that you gotta be careful in.

Yeah. I haven't heard the teenager and 'sheep' thing either. xD
Maybe it's back East or something but over here it's all about political activism and taking part in the world. Maybe...a bit too much part in the world. >.>

I don't know how bad that is in America, since I'm not American, but in Britain all the PC stuff is starting to smell a lot like bullshit. Did you know that children weren't allowed to play with conkers in one school incase they hurt themselves? Or allowed to play with skipping ropes incase they fell over? It's just ridiculous, children have to experiance pain somewhere down the line, trying to protect them from everything means that they're going to grow up to be pathetically afraid of pain.

Most schools have stopped doing a nativity play at Christmas time now too, incase it offends other religions, one woman was suspended at work for wearing a cross around her neck incase it offended other religions. These people who get "offended" by the slightest thing really do ruin it for the rest of us, pretty soon it'll be illegal to say Christmas incase it offends other religions.

Well, again America is one step ahead of Britain, I guess. It's already politically incorrect to say "Merry Christmas" but it's encouraged to say "Happy Holidays" over December, you know, in case it offends other religions. Which apparently it does since there've been protests or whatever else.

Actually, this political correctness is stuff is a pretty good topic. 8D

Unfortunately its pretty cool to blame america at the moment. People just go around saying Iraq war r bad. Therefore America r bad, and to be honest most of them dont know what the fuck they are talking about. A guy in history class said the other day "america should be shot" obviously he isnt the brightest guy, but some people agreed with him.
Also its very easy to blame america, people see that george bush is somewhat stupid and he is the person chosen to represent america.

In NZ parents are even allowed to smack their children anymore, after a law was passed that made smacking a child a form of abuse. Some guy was arrested for slapping(softly) his child's arm, after the kid did something bad.
