I REALLY hate the fact that video games are blamed over rap as a cause of violence. Blaming video games, which have warnings and you know aren't real, over rap (whose singers you are supposed to idolize by the way) which is all "DEATHDRUGSARECOOLKILLPEOPLEDRUGUSERSSTREETVIOLENC E RAPEPREMATUREPREGNANCY!". And besides that, I hate rap over all. Its stupid, pointless, and doesn't rhyme. Also, white kids who try to act "gangsta" really piss me off. They must die. Other things:
Stupid people
Jack Thompson (see above and top)
Rappers
Kids who wear the street clothes on Halloween and when asked what they are claim "I'M A HARDCORE RAPPA! NOW GIVE ME CANDAY!" (quote from Foamy the squirrel)
Ignorance
Willful Ignorance
People who think they are right when they are not (not just once. About everything. I'm looking at you, Mom.)
stupid people who do the above
People who play the race card
("White Guy: excuse me, thats my parking space. it has my name on it.
Black Guy:Oh. OH! You did not just say that! I'm so sick and tired of white boys disrespectin a brother cuz he be black! You people ENSLAVED us! You know what WE went through? And now you tryin to make me move so you can park here! Rosa Parks died for this?"
YOU did get enslaved! No black person alive today was ever enslaved in America and it was legal!)
People who think they know more than you about a computer and how it works, even though you work on one EVERY DAY and they try to fix a problem, ending up getting 10 billion viruses, then you have to format the computer. Then when they lose all their files, they yell at you!
More later, many things piss me off.
Edit: Abuse of any of the following words: ignorant, like, dude, sweet, bitch (used in conjunction with I'm Rick James, or alone), fuck, ass
Casual Swearing
People who, if you disagree with them, will you call you ignorant (heres something fun, when this happens to you, ask the idiot if they know what "ignorant" means. 9 out of 10 times they run away. Also, funny quote. Me and my friends were making fun of stupid people
Levi: Yeah, Well your IGNANT!
Me: No, see, I have the knowledge, I just choose not to use it.)

Okay, I got more things to rant about.

People who cuss excessively. Mind you, I'm more lenient than most others, for I don't consider most "bad" words to be true cuss words. And only cursing every now and then doesn't bother me either. I'm talking about people where half of the words they use are normal English words, and the other half consists entirely of the following: some form of the term, "fuck," some form of ethnic slur, or a term pertaining specifically to the male or female anatomy. People like this are really, REALLY, (about to perform a brief moment of hypocrisy here.) fucking annoying. There are other, more descriptive words in the English language peoples; either expand your vocabulary or shut your ugly traps already!

Mendacity. For those not in the know, mendacity is lies and liars. I don't think I need to explain this one.

Bugs. Not the kind that invade your garden, but the kind that ruin your games. More accurately, programming glitches. Seems like most of today's games aren't as problematic as the ones from the past. Still though, just about none of my PC games made in the 1990's would ever run properly, because the developers were too lazy to iron out the bugs, and made you download and install at least fifteen patches before you could even get the game to get past the main menu. I'm still scarred by the incessant crashing to Windows and corrupted save files.

Writer's Block. I've been a sufferer ever since I started writing for a hobby. Why, why can't I ever find the words to finish my projects?

That's all I can come up with at the moment. (Damn it! I just got Writer's Block again!)

This has happened to me on more than one occasion. Thinking that your right is the exact same as being right in the person that thinks it's mind. To them, they may as well be right. It's like when you think you know the definition of a word, but really don't and don't know you don't know it, and you use it wrongly. That's kind of unfiar, depending on how often it happens.

I strongly dislike TCGs that aren't Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering, and Pokemon.

Pokemon is still cool. :whee:

I forgot one thing. When people don't know what a word means, so they make up a definition for it, then they will defend the fact that that is the true definition to the death.

I thought you were a chick.
Also, yes people like that make me want to murder everyone.
Also, people like our maladjusted, narcissistic, egotistical, crepuscular platitudinous compatriot. They really make me upset. Those people that think they are better than everyone, mostly because they took an INTERNET IQ quiz and think that they are a genius. Mostly all they are are are huge schmucks. Real intelligence come from the wisdom to shut up.
As the old platitude goes, "It is better to be silent, and thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
Thank you

That would be attributed to Mark Twain.

As an extension of the customer's rant: Customers who think they are funny. You aren't. No, you aren't even original. Why didn't I laugh? Because it's not funny. Yes, I do have a sense of humor. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty well versed in what I do and don't like.

Also, how they think that you personally are responsible for policy. "Why is that such and such a price?" I have no clue. "You should do things this way." If I had the power to change things, I wouldn't be in a low level position, now would I?

Customer always right? No. The intelligent and/or polite customer is always right. I shouldn't have to be treated like garbage just so the company can make a buck.

SC Drivers! It is no wonder that car insurance is so high here, no one knows how to drive. No one stops at stop signs, ever, and when I do the driver behind me thinks I am doing somthing wrong. Heck at some intersections people do not stop at red lights, they just make their right hand turns fully believing that it is someone else's fault if oncoming traffic slams into them. They also speed through yellow/red lights and slam on the brakes through green lights, probably because they are afraid that someone is going to speed through a red light! Many also believe that they have the right of way when making left-hand turns into oncoming traffic, and are visably offended when someone does not slam on their brakes to let them through. I used to look very youthful, but after four years of dealing with almost everyone on the roads possessing IQ's below 60 (at least when it comes to driving), I no longer appear young care free. I feel old and very tense when I have to drive in this deathtrap.:stressed:

Everybody has such amazing rants! They make sense and after reading they irk me as well.... just thinking about it.....rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I fucking love you.

On BOTH of our store doors there's a sign that says, in big fucking red leters, NO Drinks, and NO Food inside the store. I'll give you a GUESS how often that's given even a first glance, if it's not imediatly ingored.

The ones who threaten to call the police are hilarious to me. Yase, alot of Police dudes come in all the time, and we give em discounts. They're friendly and chatty with us. Needless to say, these people aren't getting anywhere, fast.

"Ugly weather we're having."
"It was raining in such and such"
"It's raining really bad outside, isn't it?"

THERE ARE FUCKING WINDOWS! I CAN SEE THE FUCKING SKY! SHUT! UP!

Geeze. I don't get payed to fucking watch the sky all day or converse with you. Pay for it and get the FUCK out. Geez.

Another thing, please. I'm not a frickin genious. I don't know what a Barabaphapahapachi wrench is, for hell's sake. Stop with the giving me shit about it all the fucking time. I'm a computer nerd, not a fucking mechanic. I've never hitched a trailer. Ever! Be suprised!

I had one today. It was just before closing time when this ugly fat lady walks in with these two kids, who are both filthy and need a nice scrubbing in a hot tub or maybe a swim in the nearby LAKE (no excuses. Dirty kids=horrid parents. No exceptons), and the littlest kid (about 4 or 5), asks if she could have a golf ball. A little, 50 cent golf ball. So the lady says no. But not in the polite and calm way common sense would dictate, no. She YELLS at the kid, saying she's a horrible kid for asking her such a question. So the kid starts ranting, of course. She wants the ball now, just to defy her mother.

Well, the mom starts dragging her around, still yelling, upsetting both kids even more, saying the kid needs to grow up.

Grow up....hehe.....hahaha..

Listen. Never use that line unless you're talking to a 30 year old, okay?

SHE'S A FUCKING KID YOU MORON! SHE DOESN'T WORK ON LOGIC, ESPECIALLY YOUR FUCKED UP WAY OF THINKING! She's not going to "Grow up" just because you can't stand her being what she is. A five year old.

So yea, at this time I'm pissed. I shut down the lights in hope they'll leave.

Oh how wrong I was. When I get back to the counter, the mother now threatens to buy the ball, but now they can't go to the carnival next week.

Now, I'm sorry, but isn't that just a LITTLE harsh. It sounds more like an excuse to get out of a promis that she shouldn't have made if she didn't want to go in the first place.

But wait, it's not over yet. The kid finally changes her mind, saying she doesn't want it now.

But the lady will have none of it. She SHOVES the thing at my face, saying she wants it, whilst the kid is SCREAMING she doesn't. So I don't take it. She gives me this look like I'm some sort of skumbag or something, and finally submits to the kid that she won't buy it.

Finally, they leave. It's past closing time, so I go to lock the door. And guess what. The lady's yelling again outside, threatening to walk back in, buy the ball, and then never take her out ever again, ever.

At that point, I"ve had it. I spin the sign, lock the door, gather the stuff, hop in my car and LEAVE!

Yase, if she'd had tried to calm the kid down with sweet words and pats and hugs, then this problem wouldn't be. But no. She just wants the kid to shut up, not be happy, or even safe. She doesn't diserve to have kids!

YESH!

Cool. I love me too.

And that last part reminds me of something I wanted to put in the discussion forums.

More ranting.

The fact that the U.S. government has a problem with a certain plant. Even though the reasons to keep it illegal are paper thin at best. Any and all problems are the same as alcohol or cigarettes (both of which are legal. Of course, cigarette companies pay the government a lot of money to make sure that certain things don't change.) So it's a matter of cherry picking as well. That it is treated as more dangerous than substances such as cocaine, heroin, meth, or any number of other chemicals is simply foolish. And they can't even do it right. They spend hundred of millions of dollars, and a sizable portion of the populace still partakes in the hobby.
