To Make a Point

[OddjobAbe]

I would like to complain about the amount of god damn foolishness that goes around in the world. I understand many of you would post these kind of rants in a blog, but I would like to discuss this matter with people who are interested in discussing it.

Here is an example of the idiotic things that I am talking about (this is post Laser made in his blog - I'm sure he won't mind me sharing this, as the blog is public):

bastards are firing fireworks at each other outside my home!

I thought that only happen in the bad places where the druggies hang out but not anymore

I have no idea if the police have been calleed but i bloody hope so!

Sad thing is, is that i know some of them

Deplorable. You are a darn fool if you disagree with me. This is not the only type of thing that I'm talking about, though. I'm talking about things as stupid as this in general. Here's another incident that happened several days ago about five miles from a place I live (coincidentally, it also involves fireworks) - a teenager brought a firework into the school in Kettlethorpe and set it off in the school's yard near the P.E department. Utter stupidness. That kind of thing is not acceptable, as I'm sure you know, it is very dangerous. Fortunately that pupil has been excluded.

I am not just talking about incidents with fireworks. I'm talking about all sorts of idiotic things that is dangerous and could be harmful to some people. Now, from what I've seen, I doubt that there are many people here that would shoot fireworks at each other, or prat about in the middle of the road, but I'm just making a point.

Please, feel free to discuss what you believe is wrong, and why people shouldn't do it. I'd just like to be sure that I;m not a maungy old git.

Heh I live in one stupid neighborhood.

One day, I think it was last Thursday; two teenagers who were 15 I think were running in front of cars driving by the road. They were enjoying it too. Ah yes and nothing makes me more mad than when someone my age teaches a young kid a cuss word or a gay joke or whatever.

Hell I saw two kids that looked like 10 years old or something in my front yard one of them was trying to be funny by spanking the other's ass. No joke. It really makes me mad how the young peoples are sometimes influenced by this stuff.

[OddjobAbe]

By God, those incidents are appalling. These teenagers are obviously a bad influence on the small kids of today. Their attitude gets me mad. The utter lack of disrespect gets my goat. I'm not a psychiatrist, so I'll suggest that the reason teenagers do these things is both the lack of intelligence and the crave for undeserved attention.

[Hobo]

People are dumb, get over it.

The more stupid people that blow each other up with fireworks the better.

[Havoc]

Gotta love natural selection at work. All we can do is hope that these people do the gene pool a very big favor by removing them selfs from it. Seeing some idiot with a piece of firework up his nose screaming "dude check this out!" always seems to make my day .

[Mac Sirloin]

Typical last words of a moron?

"Hey Fellas! Watch This!

OR!

"Jenkem? can I have some? Oh, I have to eat it?"

[Facsimile]

Yeah, people are stupid, but I'm not quite seeing the problem of a firework going off near a P.E. department...

[moxco]

Teenages who drive around our street think it's cool to rev up their cars. They do this all day and all night.

[skillyaslig]

at school, where people are bullied really nips me. A new girl in our class (shes nice) was getting teased because of the way she says Christchurch. She cried. Daniel wouldnt shut up so I whacked him one...Then the teacher sent him outta the room with a blue slip. Well, school behaviour in genral annoys me. People are rude and downright cruel to others.

[Strike Witch]

A couple of the people down the street found out Deodorant Spray+ Cigarette Lighter= Burnt leg-hairs.

[Nate]

There's a whole lot of videos on Youtube with people spraying lots of deoderant under their arms then lighting it. It's so stupid that it goes past 'painful', beyond 'funny' and into a whole new level of idiodicy.

[OddjobAbe]

Yeah, people are stupid, but I'm not quite seeing the problem of a firework going off near a P.E. department...

It's not the fact that it was near the P.E department, it's more the fact that if the person made a mistake, others may be harmed because of that mistake. I can understand how you misinterpreted that, though, I should have been more clear.

if they wanna blow themselfs up with fireworks then let them do it, ive hit two teenages before from them purposely running in front of my car, i dont slow down

[Zerox]

Now, from what I've seen, I doubt that there are many people here that would shoot fireworks at each other, or prat about in the middle of the road

From what I've seen, I estimate approx. 60% of the UK's population has this level of intelligence.

As far as I know these people (mostly boys), they do stuff like that and call it fun, just because it's dangerous and nothing more. They feel like heros, you know. Till something real' bad happens which will be their fault. With victims and all.

And then.. they do it again. >_>

[Laser]

From where i come from, most of the cretins and plebs live in a small craphole of town called Kingsway ironically. This is were most of the drug mules and people go and decide to let off steam by having a firework war or any other things they can get hold of.

But the biggest, well to but it bluntly, THUG to come from there was someone who bullied small children, broke into cars, grafitti'ed on the police station and even, this was the most horrible thing, made a air rifle fire 6 inch nails at old people and moving cars.

oh and another thing someone did was get a pencil sharpener blade and cut their names into their arm until it made a scar. Also (what some young people still do) is get some bubble gum, heat it until it boils and then place it on their arms. Then peel it off after a while, i have seen countless scars becasue of this.

Rant over

You do bloody right. It's just a shame that the Government don't agree with that sort of thing.

From what I've seen, I estimate approx. 60% of the UK's population has this level of intelligence.

You're most probably right, although I would think 60% of the UK's youth has that level of intelligence. Adults like me seem to despise them, but there is the occasional arsehole about my age that thinks the stupid little gits are funny.

[Bullet Magnet]

50% of the UK's population has below average intelligence.

[metroixer]

50% of the UK's population has below average intelligence.

It's funny, how everyone here in America think nearly 100% of the guys there are intelligent smart-asses...

At least last I checked...

[Bullet Magnet]

Look at that statistic again... and think.

[Havoc]

50% of the UK's population has below average intelligence.

That applies to the world more then just the UK...

People who kill their fool selfs through random acts of stupidity should get a medal on their grave.

People who kill others through random acts of stupidity should get a loaded shotgun in the mouth.

If I could only have one hour with a gun and a belt of ammo clips, allowed to have my pick at killing the idiots, dead bodies in this city would pile up like you wouldn't believe.

[mudling]

This whole dobbing thing is pissing me off, I mean, I don't like those who dobb, but quite often, they're dobbing about someone who is bigger or more powerful than the other person, and that person is piking on them becuase they wont do anything back.
Also, some kid claims I dobbed on him, but firstly, he did something that everyone agreed was extremly unaccacptable, and secondly, I told a freind, who told a teacher.
Quite frankly kids who pick on others who can't do anything is stupid.
Hell, if you want to see screwed up things kids can do (I should know, I'm one), see the butterfly effect, fuck that movie is screwed up.
Oh, and costumers complaints are realy pissing me off becuase they're paffetick, I'm blamed for getting a wrong cup, taking 15 minutes to serve a group of 30 (lebs, go figure, no offence) by myself, the violence drugs and abuse taking place outside, speaking to my manager, helping someone cheap a deal and do something he shouldn't (Apparently I took too long doing so), helping someone else with their problems, not getting the food when it's not my job and I have 10 or so in line, and taking 5 seconds to get a cloth and clean a table. Most of these people are causing problems of their own.
You may tell me to get over it, but first these people should get over it, I mean, just becuase they don't have anything worth talking about in their lives, it doesn't mean they have to blaim it on someone else.
So making a big deal out of nothing is wrong- call me a hippocrite if you want.
Then there;s people who scratch cars, and the fact that we idolise people who can act sing or play sport, but whilst doing the things they're famous for they're not actually doing anything to support the world, or help anyone, which I guess is the kind of people we should be idolizing, you know, people who save lives and stuff.
Oh, and then there's bitchers- jokes.

A lot of Donald P. Bellisario fans idolize the character played by Scott Bakula in the show Quantum Leap, Sam Beckett (I know I do, he does a lot of good. Even though it is fictional, it's still awesome).

But you're right. Not enough people respect 'good' people.

[Zerox]

Unfortunately, so much of the population is made up of people like this, and idiots like this tend to also be the ones who ignore sex laws and contraception. So there's always loads more replacing ones that do actually get blown up.

[toxicity]

I think it time for me to give you guys "the talk."

*Takes out pipe and sweater-vest.*

You see... the world is just one big penis measuring contest. If someone whips it out and shows it to you then... well, you have to show them yours too. If it means starting a nuclear apocolypse then... so be it. Just remember kids, the bigger your penis is and the more members your religion has, the better a person you are! Also, make sure those communist Russians don't win anything... damn commies.

*End steriotypical 50s father personality.*

[OddjobAbe]

I always wondered why people have to relate everything to the size of a person's genitles.

[Bullet Magnet]

It is the language equivalent of the lowest common denominator.

[mudling]

Well, that puts the women a fair bit back, well, most of them.
Maybe feminists have a point.
That being said, I also have a problem with feminists and equaliststhey're usually fine, but they often rant about the majority groups so much that they end up suffering, and it's the minority groups that do better.
That, and the problems the majority groups (Such as males having to go to war of a certain age due to conscription) face are often ignored, and when they want balance they realy want to come off better, screw everyone else.
And the fact that minority groups are against each other (Like faminists may also be active racists) which is just hipocrytical, but then again, no one should hold prejudices.
Have I confused everyone?
Good.

[Havoc]

I just met a bunch of retards in the movie theater who I would have no problem killing... Grrr I hate people ruining my movies...

[OANST]

That's because yours are so small.
