Who have you had enough of ??

I get so irritated with people that seem to think that Christianity should get a free pass, just because it's Christianity. Know what I mean? Personally, I think a radical extremist is a radical extremist, whether he/she is a Muslim extremist, Christian extremist, or Hindu extremist. One isn't somehow more acceptable than the other.

Lauren - that is one of my pet peeves too. A radical extremist is a radical extremist is a radical extremist.

Canada is a profoundly secular nation and as a result she sees the resultant clamour of all of these faith-based demands as as being kinda crazee. Belonging among those particular interest groups which must be both recognised and protected by our Canadian Charter of Human Rights. This is why Canada has been one of the first of the nations to recognise same sex marriage. This is also why Canada has been notable in refusing to accept religious pundits as mediators on the Canadian political/civil stage.

Canada is a country which houses any number of needy souls. No specific religious belief has been built into Canada's moral character, is all. Same sex marriage is legal up here, eh. That is life, huh....

[DerickM 1]

I agree that same sex marriage should be legal as well green, I myself voted against a measure to make a amendment define what marriage is here in Oregon.

I get sick and tired of people posting questions here that could so easily have been answered by then visiting the FAQ and References Forum. Isn't that what that means? Frequently Asked Questions??? That's the first place I look on any website when I have a question!

Arggghh!!

Rant over...

I'm tired of people who do not take responsibility. I cannot tell you how much this irritates me, and what's worse - it's CONSTANT. Parents for their children, people for themselves and their behaviors, individuals for the consequences they invoke. I hate finger pointers. I hate:

____ made me do it.

I had to because of _____.

It's not my fault, I can't help it, I have/was/_____.

Own your friggin actions and reactions. I didn't make you mad, you reacted to something I said with anger. I didn't make your feelings hurt, you reacted to something I said with some emotional affect. This is everywhere. It's one of our worst plagues, a plague of irresponsibility, apathy and ignorance. We're catering to the lowest common denominator.

Yup, one of the most valuable things my father taught me was something he learned in the Army. There were three allowed responses in my house when I was growing up:

"Yes Sir (or Dad)"

"No Sir (or Dad)"

"No Excuse Sir (or Dad)"

None of this whining pansy-ass crap. I didn't do it, it's not my fault, waaa waaa waaaa. If it really wasn't my fault, then I'd get the opportunity to logically DISCUSS the situation and present my side of the story with reasons to back it up.

I'm tired of people who think they're owed something. Again, something that applies all over the place. Be glad you have what you do, and you're ebing given what you're already being given. Want more? Go work for it. Want more than that? Find a way to work more. Quit looking for ways to make it my responsibility to hand it to you.

Hallelujiah! I have often said that if someone jacks my car, they had better hope to God that I don't get my hands on them, because I'd take it out of their hide. You want a car, go get a f$cking job and earn the money for one! There was a story in Detroit last week where three people attempted to carjack a guy RIGHT IN FRONT OF POLICE HQ!!!! No regard for law. Guess what? The guy they tried to jack had a CCW and his gun on him...He shot and killed one of them and the other two were taken into custody.

I'm tired of young kids acting like, looking like, and being whores. This is a gender neutral statement. When I was 12 I wasn't worried about whether or not I gave good head. I was worried about making the all-star team. I feel a sick sort of pity for these people. Someone or something has influences their behavior, and as a society we're unequipped and uneducated about what we can to do help. And our culture is rewarding and inciting this behavior. Hmm, I wonder why it doesn't change...

Why on earth do parents buy clothing for thier kids that say Porn Star on it or Juicy on the ass? Nutheads!

I hate tramp stamps. I hate that everything is a lawsuit. I hate infomercials about starving children. I mean - if you feel for them that much, teach them how to shoo a fly while you're there filming.

Amen, sister! I am not a fan of tramp stamps, you know who that's sexy to? The guy who looks at it and says, wow, I bet I could get her bent over a chair in about ten minutes...

And about the children in poor countries? Give them some food while you are there filming the damned commercial.

I should stop now, cause no one wants a novella.

Nah, I love novellas like this!

I HATE tramp stamps, but I still want a tattoo when I hit goal. Not one of those stupid-ass tramp stamps, though. I want a NICE tattoo, maybe a portrait of something or someone. Probably not a tribal, not a trendy Chinese letter, not a flower or star or cartoon character. Not that those are bad, but they just aren't my cup of tea.

Sky-diving and a tattoo, those are my rewards.

[faithmd 14]

I did the skydiving thing when I was 18 before I got too fat, it was GREAT! That's what I'm doing, too.

But I'll do it as soon as I can. For goal (whatever that is) I think I'll buy a used Corvette (if I have the $$).

Very cool rewards! I did the tattoo(s) a bit early, will probably add one more somewhere when I meet goal. I would love to sky-dive, but I keep tearing up parts of my body - requiring surgical repair. But if I can get the shoulder fully repaired by the time I hit goal, I've already asked my nephew to take me sky-diving.

I'm thinking of trying to get a group of bandsters to go together, kind of a group reward for people that've hit their goals. Plus, stuff like that is always more fun when you're in a group.

Definitely more fun in a group! I have 3 tattoos, all of which have special meaning during the time when I got them. Warning, tho - body art can be addictive!

That's okay with me! I actually like the looks of lots of tattoos, as long as they are GOOD tattoos. It's definitely not something that I think should be bargain-hunted, if you know what I mean. I'm willing to pay a bundle for a great tattoo.

Here's the most recent one...

Very nice.

I just can't get around the fact that people pick up Hep C when they get tats. I don't know how you can trust them to sterilize like they're supposed to. I am sure there are some luxurious tattoo parlors (relic term) where you feel safe, but I dunno, it scares me. One thing I was told when I got the band is that the band is a prosthesis and if contract certain communicable diseases, like Strep for instance, it can settle in your prosthesis and you can get so sick it can kill you.

I know a very healthy guy who got knee replacement and got Strep and it was the most miserable last 2 months of his life. I won't tell you what all he went through, but it scared the living hell out of me and it was unbelievably sad.

That's why they tell us bandsters to take antibiotics when we go to the dentist, even for just a cleaning.
