This isn't just pet peeves, though. This is general ranting. I remember the pet peeve thread... now.

I hate Norwegian title translations.

Discovery's program "I shouldn't be alive" becomes "I should be dead"

And if there's a film called "Death of the messiah" it becomes "Jesus is flying again"

Rants...I got some!

1. The UPS service lost my business. They cost me almost 4 weeks of waiting, and $75 dollars extra to get a package which they screwed up with. This means I am now boycotting their business as I do not deal with incompetant bastards.

2. Every computer...should come with an instruction guide in how it works to install ANY operating system, and covering ALL problems which may arise. The lack of this has caused me a months worth of frustration, and at the moment, I am very close to starting in on breaking stuff.

3. The place that I bought my bike from and brought it back to on April 13th to get it fixed called me yesterday. They said they have had it fixed for "a while" and I need to pick it up as they are sick of looking at it. Well, the guy who I brought it to called me after I left on the 13th and said "It will take a few weeks to get parts and someone will call you when it is done for you to pick up." The snotty clerk should NOT have gone off on me about letting my bike sit there for 15 days after they repaired it for free. It isn't my fault I waited patiently without hassling them until they called as they told me they would. It is one of his co-workers faults for waiting 2 weeks after it was fixed on the 25th of April to call me yesterday that they had it fixed. Idiots.

4. This mess with my computer is draining all of the money I have, and this means, the $200 I had saved up for going away in August? GONE. POOF. Chances are I will end up having to spend more money too. SO not happy about this.

5. My boss is a lazy, incompetant jerk. I want to get him demoted and take his job. People who haven't worked there for years all know who it is I am talking about when I say that there is a lazy, incompetant manager that I am dealing with. That....bothers me. If someone worked at this store under my boss 8 years ago, and he STILL hasn't changed his ways, there is something truly wrong with my employers. I do not like that. I may be stuck in a minimum wage job, but even so, I like to know the person above me is at least competant and working to get their pay. Not dumping his work on me and claiming that he is doing it.

6. I ran out of stuff to rant about and I am still frustrated. That isn't how it is supposed to work!

1- I'm tired of people wanting to see the worst in things. Nothing is any worse than it was in th 50's. Everyone thinks there generation has the most problems, or is the greatest, or the most important. It isn't.

2- I'm tired of people HATING MY COUNTRY because they don't have anything better to do/ want to "rebel"

Good God, people, Better men than you have died for this country. God Bless America.

3- I'm tired of people not working for what they've got. Work hard, play hard, live well.

4- I'm tired of Granola Crunching Hippies costing me more for gas. Let them drill Alaska. There is no reason gas should be this high.

5- Styrofoam!

EDIT- If that sounded too extreme, notify me and I'll change it, or notify the mods.

I am so damn sick and tired of people calling me unpatriotic because I don't agree with W on everything (cliched, I know). Somebody actually told me the other day "Bush-bashing is really unAmerican... That's just not cool dude, it's really unpatriotic"....

I was trying to explain to somebody how I disagree with how he's ignoring global warming, very calmly and rationally too.

Is that what kids are taught nowadays?! That disagreeing with the President is "bashing" and "unAmerican"?!?!

*Head explodes*

Oh, and why is gas so *bleep**bleep**bleep**bleep*-ing expensive?!!?!?!? It cost me $45 to fill my car up the other day... With REGULAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Like chus said why the hell are we letting the caribou keep us from drilling alaska? Are we ever going to touch that place?!

It is not new, it seems

"What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned our government must be strong;
It's always right and never wrong.
Our leaders are the finest men.
And we elect them again and again.
And that's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school."

Tom Paxton

It's sad... It particularly pisses me off here, because there wouldn't be a damn America if people like Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson or, particularly, Thomas Paine were brainwashed into believing such crap. Considering this country was built on free-speech not excercising our right to it seems much more unAmerican to me. I'm hardly a patriot but that kind of thinking just illustrates a complete lack of understanding about what being "American" means.

I say we ship all the yes-men over to Canada. They probably wouldn't notice any difference...

*coughs* I'm sick of humanity viewing this whole planet as something they own by some divine right. Thinking they can take what they want, regardless of consequences, just because it is more conveniant for them to take it rather than find a way around the problems making them need it.

I'm sick of people ignoring the fact there are problems because of brainwashing.

I'm sick of people following religions they don't understand because their parents do or they are weak willed.

I'm sick of people. I'm gonna go find some starving cats and talk to them. Peace.

Im sick of people posting my rants before I do.

Im sick of people ranting, shut up, there really isnt much you can do about it in most situations, but if there is something you can do, do it for gods sake and quit ranting!

My dog is too loud.

My dad is too conservative.
Im sick of religious people always winning arguments (in their minds) because of their faith. Honestly, there is no way to out-argue stupid...

the bloody fair has turned up. it's on the green outside my house, and it will stay for a whole sodding week. it was a lovely evening earlier and we were eating in the garden and even if you can put up with the music and the announcements (think of a horse-racing commentator speaking into a microphone wrapped in several layers of blankets, then massively amplified) the fumes from the generators are vile.

and I need/have been told to get my haircut for friday. it probably needs it, but I've got this coffee and chocolate shampoo and my hair smells really quite nice and I want to keep as much of it as I can.

less of a rant, more of a sulk perhaps. but I still refuse to breathe petrol.

Darzog · Post by **Darzog** » Wed May 10, 2006 4:48 pm

I'm sick of SYM equating faith with stupidity. Faith isn't stupid, People are stupid.

Stupid people are religious, stupid people are agnostic, stupid people are atheist, stupid people are Republican, stupid people are Democrats, stupid people are Libertarians (or they would be if they were smarter), stupid people are carnivors, stupid people are vegans, stupid people are couch-potatoes, stupid people spell couch-potatoes couch-potatos, stupid people use the internet, stupid people vote for American Idol (and Pop Idol), stupid people leave the toilet up, stupid people put the toilet down, stupid people pay more for their shoes than on food for a month, stupid people spend more on their car than their house, stupid people hate other stupid people (hey, that's like me!), stupid people shave their heads, stupid people think they are better than other stupid people, stupid people think Lucky Charms is healthy because it looks like Cheerios, stupid people think Cheerios are healthy, stupid people think if a kid sees a boobie they will become demented, stupid people think kids won't be demented anyway, stupid people love America, stupid people hate America, stupid people love France (sorry, no reciprocation for this) and finally stupid people are all of us.

People are stupid. No single aspect of human life is inherently stupid, it is just the people themselves that are stupid. Nothing makes stupid, stupid is as humans do. Someone please prove me wrong!

I just HATE people who are racist and judge all their opinion on someone's sexuality, I just HATE it! They can go straight to hell and burn, I hate them I hate them oh just go away!
What is their PROBLEM if someone's homosexual or black or if their overweight or if they can't walk properly or if their smarter than they are! Why can't they just leave people ALONE?
Comparing homosexuality to MURDER, oh I hate them, why can't they just die?

I have to go outside, I am just fed up, I hate them all.

When was homosexuality compared to murder?
