[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Rant, ...about anything and everything

[jrock8]

alright, the purpose of this thread is to create a place where anyone can vent about anything... it might be some shit at work, some dickhead on the street, something about society in general that just pisses you off...

go ahead, let it out... let's here you rant!


i'll start... i hate the city of chicago... they FINALLY get in line w/the rest of the sensible world and pass a smoking ban that goes into effect this month... the catch? they put in a TWO YEAR exemption for bars, clubs and restaurants... great, two more years of me going out and smelling like an ashtray when i come home, having to air my coat out for days afterwards, oh, and yeah, all the shit that i'm breathing in while i'm there... so here's a royal "fuck you" to the city

[Gnappster]

The following may get me offside with some people but I am sick of being PC.

I consider myself a pretty tolerant person when it comes to others relegions and or ethnic backgrounds. I live in a very multicultural city where my best friend has Italian heritage. I have anglo saxon friends, went to school with asians, work with a guy thats gay and have the odd Muslim friend so I don't think I can be labelled a racist/bigot/whatever... but.....

I am sick to death of the Muslim faith. Overnight news has flooded through that mi5 in the UK foiled a potential terrorist plot to blow up 10 planes on route from London to the USA midflight all in the name of "jihad"

Although it is months away I will be flying to London for my honeymoon as a gateway through Europe and I would not be human if the whole thing doesn't scare the lving piss out of me. However, I will press on because i will not allow these cunts, these people who are the fucking scum off the earth to ruin my one shot at life!

Alas, if that isn't enough to piss me off, Muslim groups in Australia and throughout the world have come out and said they now fear they will become even greater targets of hate crime and revenge attacks! Not once did they publicly denounce the terrorist act or distance their faith from what these terrorists profess to be fighting for. All they have is a bleeding heart story.

I have never ever felt the need for war at any time and strongly opposed my countries involvement in thw war in Iraq etc but now, again, I am all for it. Rid these parasites from the face of the earth forever

It's funny how much death and suffering occur in the name of God. Muslims, Jews, Christians all believe in the same "God" yet look at all the conflict it causes. I'm Roman Catholic but I don't feel the need to push my beliefs or kill people in the name of my God. And I'm not just picking on Muslims, look at the shit that Christianity cuased through much of Middle Ages and beyond. And Judaism? They killed Jesus for pete's sake (just messing on that one, I'm not Mel Gibson).
I read an interesting quote from a heavy metal dude, who was accused of propagating Satanism: "It's hardly Satan worshippers who are blowing things up all over the world these days." I don't want to start a religious debate, but it's stupid how many problems extremist religious groups cause. Jihadist muslims blowing shit up, extremist Christians only seeing the world in black and white, good and evil. Just believe in what you want to believe, be spiritual, help people out when you can, try to evolve yourself as best as you can and let that be that.

And bondi, don't sweat it, there are THOUSANDS of flights a day, so the chances any crazy shit will happen is pretty slim.

Bondi you said a mouth full , I fly allot  never  to foreign countrys though , but It amazes me and makes me feel a bit safer  when I stand in the security line at the  airport and they  pull off to the side a towell head , or a  dark complex  arab looking person and  do a serious body check and baggage check on them , I dont consider myself  racist at all but these people scare me , they just dont care  , they have been taught that  if they are Martas  then when they die they go to the gods  and get 1000 virgins  , well I tell ya what bro there are no virgins  in HEll !  and thats the only place there headed . I also have mixed emotions abouthe war in Iraq ,  my main objection is we dont seem to have enough men or ladies over there to do the fighting ,  My opinion is simple ... NUKE THE BASTARDS  LET GOD SORT THEM  OUT ... We can go back in 12 monthes and  take over  the oil fields and grow  those fancy  tomatoes  they grow with nuclear waste  ......

Sheeeiiit, on our way to Vegas my wife got the "thorough"search, not a cavity search or anything but a pat down and everything. I think it's cuz she's a travel agent and tried correcting the first security dude's terminology of the difference between a ticket and a boarding. So he says to the next security woman, "She doesn't have a carry on" which must be code for "give her a hard freaking time!' haha. ANd then I got the same thing on our way back. And we're both whiter than Brooke Shields. Just thought I'd add my little anecdote.

Just a slight correction to your statement here, it's more like 10,000 years.

According to this logic slaves should have never been taught how to read and write either because for hundreds of years they couldn't do either and those that could couldn't do it in English.

In Israel you would want to fight too if you had been opressed against or if some assmunch group of terroists had attacked you. Oh yea an assmunch group of terrorists did attack and now we are at war with that group.
Don't mean to pick on you so much about your opinions, but I really am fed up with the attitude of "just nuke em" it will solve all our problems. Nuclear war is NOT an answer in any circumstance. The chain reaction that would start with a single nuclear attack from any country upon another would be worldwide catastrophe. If you don't feel like we are on the verge of WWIII, that would be a quick way to get it started.

Good points, especially about the nukes comments.
I think the states knows this too, otherwise they'd probably be firing these things off like bottle rockets on the 4th of July :
