The Official Rant Thread

Well, I'm not a big anime fan either, but we were planning to go and just hang out because we had nothing planned for today.

Speaking of Anime, I saw a group of adults dressed up as Naruto at the gateway mall today, I was laughing my ass off!

But, my rant:

I go to the mall today with mah gee ef, and we're just walking around, and she keeps telling me that people are giving me dirty looks... I wasn't even doing anything.. I was just walking around happily, minding my own business. Sorry for being alive, I'll stop breathing.

I don't understand it, I'm a really nice and understanding guy, but I get the biggest crap from people. I never try to invoke a fight, I never say anything rude or mean unless you bug the hell out of me, then I'll tell you to shut up, and if you continue, I'll throw something at you, because I'm an ass when I'm irritated... But I'm hardly irritated. But, god... I don't see why I'm such a magnet to un-kindness :\ It's retarded.

Are you fat, ugly, do you have an odd hair style, or wear weird clothes/piercings/makeup? >_>

Nope, I'm pretty average. I wouldn't be so shallow as to say I'm the most gorgeous guy you'll ever see or anything, and my hair style isn't so odd, my clothes consist of nothing but shirts of my favorite bands (its kind of my life collection thing), and jeans. I have no piercings, and no, I don't wear makeup ;p

Well, me in general, I'm really weird. But like, weight wise, I'm not really skinny, but I'm not heavy either... I'm just.. average.

And, come to think of it, my shirt did have a heart on it. But, so what? I don't think that's why I was getting crap from anyone, but I'm sure it contributed.

The t-shirt design is kinda like this:

And it says Smashing Pumpkins in military font under it. So I guess thats not average... I suppose...
The people giving me bad looks were all gangsta.

They could have just been reading it or trying to understand what it meant? I wouldn't worry about it to much, unless of course it keeps happening. I was going around the mall with a "I LOVE MILFS" shirt on and got a lot of looks mostly from older moms but I'd figured they would get me nasty looks. Just wear a normal shirt next time.

JK-47 · Post by **JK-47** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 9:28 pm

Well, they were looks like they wanted to kick my ass... I get it all the time even when I'm wearing a normal shirt. It doesn't help that people where I live are really unpleasant...
I don't worry about it... I just don't understand it is all :\ I'm going to wear what I want and be who I am, I don't care what people think of me... It would just be nice to have a day where people can mind their own god damn business.

If people give me a strange look, I just wave and say hi, and keep walking. If they want to look at me like they want to say something, they should. I won't stop them.

Ya know, I never thought of responding to it somehow (well, unless I catch them doing it, then on occasion I'll do it back, just cause it's funny)... I'll just have to think of something really weird to say...

Well, either you were doing something to draw their attention, either it by having too much of a spring in your step as you walk (;)). But from your description it doesn't really make sense, you'd know if you were doing something different. Unless your not telling us something.

either that, or your girlfriend was attempting to shift blame onto you, as you said, it was her observation. You didn't notice it being directed at you, so it was her time to try and make you look bad or something...So she is evil...Obviously >_>

Don't argue, you know I'm right ;p

___________

onto the fat people. I just cannot understand how they can let themselves go that far. I can understand laziness. That people don't want to exercise, but when you see yourself in the mirror...Or only half of yourself in the mirror, then how can you NOT convince yourself what your doing is wrong? or even worse, convince yourself that your weight is right? Why not go out in public? that way you can see that your size is actually different...quite larger...But of course, going outside involves moving, and why would you want to do that when you can get everything delivered off e bay, or have food delivered to your door?

That brings me to my hatred of fatties on wheels. Feeling extra lazy? Can't be bothered to take that extra step? feel that walking is too much of an inconvenience? Well remove it now! With the fatty scooter! You can sit down on it like you do at home all day, but you actually get places! Say good bye to healthy living and your sex life, BUY ONE NOW.

Not only that! But it comes with a horn so if NORMAL people get in your way, you can beep at them to move! Oh what a world of hypocrisy!"

It sickens me to see fat people attempt to wear clothes for people 2+ sizes smaller than what they are. Does it make them feel attractive having rolls visible? Or does it feel slimming for them?

Apart from things with caffeine in it (which is addictive), how can they even get that way? they aren't really addicted to eating shit unless its a whole lot of chocolate. I'd sympathise with these fat people if they couldn't help it (to a degree, I still despise smokers and will never treat them kindly if they are in a certain proximity to me) but unless I'm ignorant to certain diseases (probably made up ones to make fat people feel slightly warm on the inside of their giant clogged hearts) it isn't and they get none.

On the plus side, they make others around them more attractive and that there aren't heaps of fat people in my living area and the area's surrounding it...So currently I'm sane enough not to go on a rampage. This leads me to the question, are many people in America that you see fat?

This may be a possibility, lol.

Oh yeah, there are tons upon tons of fat people here in America. I also don't like the fatty scooter things, they use to be used if you were handicap and couldn't walk good, now they use them if your just fat. Which I guess is considered a handicap.

I heard by the year 2012 75% of Americans will be obese, I don't know if it's true but at this rate I actually believe it. There are more fat kids too. It's really sad, my first period teacher is so fat that she breathes hard just when she is walking, I honestly would hate to see her running. She is so fat that I doubt she could lose enough weight to become skinny before she dies. I also heard in Mississippi at least 1 out of every 5 people are fat. All I can say is I hope fat people have health insurance, especially because America fails with health insurance.

Never had that happen before, but one time I was walking down the street with my girlfriend, and a bunch of people started whistling at her while I was holding her hand. I mean, if she was alone, I would understand it (despite it being extremely rude), but with me there I'm completely confused.

I hate people who have this divine hatred of smokers...If you don't want to sit next to someone smoking, get up and move...Why is it always that the smokers are invading your space, and not the other way around?..I hate all the hippies who go out and complain about how their air is bad because of all the smokers, and create all these new rules and regulations and laws against smoking...Where I work, the entire premises is smoke free now, including the roads and parking lots...Are you really so concerned that you might get cancer from someone walking to their car near yours while smoking?..Places used to have indoor smoking areas, where smokers could go, and enjoy smoking...But no, the hippies complained about all the smokers in the place they didn't even want to go, so they moved the smokers outside, into pavilions...Again, hippies complained about all the smokers in THE SMOKING SECTION!..So they got rid of the pavilions...Then smokers had to stand in the wind, rain, and snow just for their cigarette...But no, that was too good for them too...Now they have to walk a block to go smoke...Is it really so bad for all you hippies to have a section you don't go, where people who want to smoke, can?..

Then they passed laws here where bingo halls, and bars can't allow smoking...Places where 90% of the patrons smoke, now can't, because of government intervention...You know, if you don't like smokers, don't go to these places...If enough of you do go to them, and complain, the owners will say "hey, we're losing money, lets make it smoke free"...But they're not...They know their clients want to smoke, and it's good for business to be a smoking establishment...But now they can't make that choice for their own business because hippies complained and others stepped in...And now they're losing business just to appease a bunch of hippies...

For the record, I don't smoke...I just hate all these hippies pushing their ideals on the rest of us...I do wish I had a scooter though...

I_F, your my saviour. ;o.

I think its disrespectful that smokers get treated much different, like they are some vigilante. I mean they could be the EXACT same, but because they like to light up a cigarette, some may see that person and think they are horrible, its just some people's judgments towards smokers that annoy me in a way.

I mean if they smoke near you, you can be displeased, but why would you hate them?

Some people may have been young and done stupid things that get them hooked on something, and maybe they can't stop when they are older, but they could be the nicest people in the world, but theres always someone that doesn't like them just because they smoke.

To me, I don't think smoking is that big of a deal, compared to half the people I talk to.

I mean people that smoke may get disliked by some people, but if they drink its okay?

I think its made too much of a deal.

...Was it hippies who complained?

...Damn hippies.

The only reason smoking became popular in the first place, was because it was/still is highly addictive, and at the time there was no evidence against it about how bad it was for your health. And it's ironic that you call these people who hate smokers so much, 'hippies', as that is who I would have imagined would have been the lead smokers during that time >_>

But now we know it causes cancer..terrible cancer in-fact..actually, one of the main contributers to cancer in-fact in-fact, and who wants to see their best friend and/or family member die (early) because of it

There's also the other problems associated with it, like the amount of hospital beds that have to be taken up by people dieing of cancer caused by smoking, when they could be used for people of much greater illness. And while that's not a nice way to look at it at all, it is true.

..and so as it is so terrible (and it is), why wouldn't people campaign against it? It was going to happen, and now it has, and it still is, and action has been taken just like you said, and in my personal opinion that is a good thing. I always hate it when people just start smoking next to you (and trust me I would know, pretty much my whole family smokes <_<), it doesn't necessarily mean I hate the person smoking though, not at all. But it is just annoying, after all these subject experts have told us, and what we know thesedays about how much it fucks you up, that they continue

I even asked my aunt about it once, and she just said something along the lines of "nah it's all rubbish". Now I'm not saying I hate her, not in the slightest (love her to bits

).. but if this is what smokers pretend to themselves, then it is slightly disturbing

Smoking though will never go away, not in the UK at least anyway. half of the skyhigh prices for cigarettes goes to the government, and as you can imagine with so many people being driven by the addiction they get a massive amount of money. So 'massive' in-fact, that if we were to ban it completely, we would go into a complete financial breakdown..

Which is exactly the reason for it being sold in such abundance today. Not cool, but it is life.. >_>
