Wars are dumb... and so are some of it's protesters.

I was reading a bunch of anti-war stickers online, and some of them said “war is a crude business” with a picture of an oil drum beside it.
Another said “war is fuelish”


Basically saying war in general is about fossil fuels.
But that’s not the case at all
if you look at 90% of wars throughout history, they’re territorial.
I disagree with modern wars completely.
But wars way back when have been meaningful.
I don’t necessarily agree with people killing other people for the sole reason of territory, but still.

If I hear someone say that war (as a general term) is about fuel, I will lose my shit.

Why are we like this?

Why is it, that every time something bad happens?
e.g. The car bombing, or shooting in Norway.

Everyone and their brother is up in arms about this.
Whereas, it happens in countless other countries on a daily basis… and no one gives 2 fucks.

Why? Because it happens daily.
If it was a rare occurrence, people would lose their shit.


But my question is, wouldn’t it make more sense to be more aware of the daily bombings as opposed to occasional?

I’m not saying one is worse than the other.
Any time human lives are put in harms way is a bad time.
Conversely, there will always be one random crazy person who will go off and blow shit up, or shoot people.
That’s not something you can plan for.

But when shit happens daily… you KNOW it’s going to happen again and again, all over the country… that IS something you can plan for.
So why not put effort into focusing on this stuff and trying to put an end to it?

I'm disappointed with how the world is ending up.

Wherever there is someone who is intelligent.
Wherever there is someone who is opinionated.
Wherever there is someone who is informed about various topics.

There will ALWAYS be at least 1 person who will call them weird.

Weird for keeping on top of various topics, be it politics, current events, etc.
Weird for holding at least a moderate level of intelligence.
Weird for forming any type of opinion, which requires some knowledge to form.


Why?
Why do the people who use their minds, become the outcasts?
Why do the people who to at least attempt to make a change in the world, immediately get laughed at?

Oh, you deleted your comment?

Okay, so one thing I fucking HATE, is when someone makes a comment (online), you counter their comment with a far more logical point, and they’ve nothing else to say, so they delete their comment.

WHAT KIND OF FUCKING PUSSY ARE YOU?!
You can’t man up and admit defeat?
You can’t handle someone being slightly more intelligent than you?
You can’t deal with the fact that you’ve just been one-upped, and that you have nothing else to say?


How fucking stupid can you be?
Like….. really?

I just…… I don’t even know.
This just pisses me off to no end. Grow the fuck up, stop being a pansy bitch, and learn to admit defeat.

inb4 “you’re not the smartest person on the internet, stop acting like it”

If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

I absolutely HATE this question.
People are like “LOLOLOLOL IT’S SEWWW TRU!”

It’s one of the most illogical questions I’ve ever heard.

Humans are made of meat, why can’t we eat them?
Because it’s immoral? Theoretically, so is eating animals, but we do it anyway.

Not to mention, there are other things made of “meat” but people find it strange to eat them.

Not to mention, who ever said we aren’t supposed to eat meat? (other than vegetarians and vegans)
It’s called population control… we ARE supposed to eat them.

Not to mention, what if humans has never discovered that meat was edible.
We’d not know that animals are edible.

“If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, why are their anatomies relative to that of a human?”

In theory, what an animal is comprised of, holds no sway over whether or not we’re supposed to eat them.

It’s all a matter of what nutrients the human body requires to stay alive.
The fact that animals just happen to contain those nutrients is happenstance.

I just….. I don’t even know.
I could rage about this forever.

It's all too true.

I was watching a en episode of ‘who wants to be a millionaire, when Meridith Viera is hosting.
She continually hits on one of the contestants.

The thing that I thought hilarious was a comment.

It read “reverse this situation, and watch the lawsuit”

I couldn’t have laughed any harder, because of the truth behind that statement.
If some dude was to hit on a girl on a game show the way she did, it would have immediately become a court case, but because it was a woman doing the flirting, everyone laughed.

What the fuck is wrong with this picture?!

Here’s the video.

What a stupid question.

One question I absolutely hate is “Is it good?”

Not matter what someone is asking about.
“Is it good?” is one of the worst questions to ask. It’s far too vague a question to be properly answered.

I was having a discussion with someone about reading, and the book I was currently reading.
This person asked “Is it good?”.
WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?
In order for me to properly answer that, I would have to know what constitutes as ‘good’ in your mind. Obviously I personally think it’s good or I’d not be wasting my time with it.
I can’t promise that my definition of ‘good’ will coincide with yours, meaning if I say something is good, you may read, look at, listen to, etc. that same thing, and tell me it’s a waste of *insert objects material composition*.

For future reference… don’t ask me if something is good.

Smoke Detection

Apparently you can get fined for not having a smoke detector in your house?

I really miss being in control of my own life.

I miss having a say in whether or not I keep myself safe.

Why does the government get to control EVERY aspect of our lives?

When did the world become so fucked up, to think that we should just let a smaller group of human beings tell us what we can and cannot do?
Sure, they keep us safe, so we should listen to SOME of the things they say.
BUT USE COMMON FUCKING SENSE!
People should already know what to do and what not to do, without a government having to tell them.

Some of the fucking laws out there are absolutely ridiculous!
I just can’t get my head around it.

WHAT THE FUCK, HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS?!

Lately, I’ve noticed a few high school girls, that post statuses on failbook about how their last breakup caused heartbreak, and blah blah blah.

a) You’ve been dating the kid for 3 fucking weeks, Unless you’ve known him for years prior, your feelings cannot be THAT strong.
b) Even if you do “love” him, DON’T FUCKING POST ONLINE! it just makes you look like an immature, unintelligible attention whore.
c) Just… learn to keep it between you and the person you’re with (or… were with)


Why the fuck do people feel the need to broadcast EVERYTHING now days?
Why can’t we just have some decency and keep our personal lives personal?
Just… why?

REAL women have curves.

I’ve noticed that a lot of bigger girls tend to say “real women have curves”

Why the fuck is this?

a) If a woman doesn’t have curves, be it due to healthy choices, or an eating disorder, she’s not a real woman?
b) Everyone has to agree in saying that all women should be curvy?
c) No one is allowed to have their own opinions on the size and shape of a woman’s body, and what they consider attractive?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one to care much about a woman’s body, how she looks is… well… how she looks, I don’t give 2 fucks.

But it’s such a cop out.
Let’s say someone calls you fat. You feel the need to tell EVERYONE that ‘real women have curves’?
Why not just brush it off and accept the way you are?

Another thing I can’t stand is when bigger girls call thin/athletic people “skinny bitches”.
I heard one comedian, a bigger woman, talking about how she was running a 10K marathon. Now, I’ll give her respect where respect is due, I lack the motivation to do that myself, but she goes on to talk about the other runners, and how they’re so thin that she wants to feed them a sammich and what not.
Why the fuck do you care so much about these other people?
There must be some underlying jealousy there. For you to mock someone for being thin/athletic, is ridiculous.

Testing should be mandatory.

I know a large portion of people that are of legal age to vote, but aren’t informed enough to make a proper decision when it comes to voting.
Oddly enough, I know kids who aren’t old enough to vote…. but know a fair share about politics.
It’s sad to see people who would make informed voting choices…. but aren’t able to.

They should have mandatory tests so as to make sure voters are knowledgeable enough to make a proper choice when it comes to voting.

Where did this sudden rise of apathy come from?

I’ve noticed that a lot of todays youth are apathetic towards world issues.

Genocide, famine, etc.

Now, I know there are a lot of kids who DO care, but a majority don’t.


Why does no one care?
We’re so easily entertained by shows about people eating the worlds biggest hamburger, or shows about teens being pregnant, or alcoholics living together, causing drama with each other.


Why do these kids not watch the news once in a while.
Get informed, fucking do something about the problems.

I mean sure, I’m not the best representative for “getting out and changing things” but if I had the resources and opportunities, I’d do it.

But even if they don’t DO anything, why not at least get informed, get some knowledge about the topics?

Couponing is a sport now?

So last night I was watching a show called “extreme couponing”.

It’s basically about people who use coupons excessively, and save gratuitous amounts of money.

Now, I’ll give them their due respect for saving as much money as they do, while being able to provide for their families.

However, every person I saw on that show, had a stockpile of food.
Not just completely full cupboards, like… legit stockpiles.
Miniature grocery stores in their houses.


But what made me fucking rage, is the fact that they’re basically getting free food…. meanwhile
a) A lot of it is perishable and won’t get used in it’s allotted freshness time.
b) WHO THE FUCK NEEDS THAT MUCH FOOD?!

Like honestly, if I knew how to go about saving the kinds of money they do, and getting the amount of food they do, I would ship it off to other countries.
Here we are, in North America, with more food than we know what to do with…. and we fucking hoard it all.

What a bunch of gluttonous, greedy, self-righteous assholes we are.

"DON'T CALL ME KID!"

lately I've had so many kids flip shit when I call them 'kid'

Why the fuck is this?
It's a term of endearment
If I was going to call you immature, I'm ,more than smart enough to find better ways to do that.
Not to mention, I have the balls to be straight up.

If you're gonna be a whiny bitch and complain for me calling you something, then get the fuck out.
That's like someone walking up to me and saying "hey, man!"
Why in gods name would I snap?

they're not insulting me
they're not talking down to me in any way

Stop being a stupid bitch if I call you "kid" or "kiddo"

Cars that drive themselves made me a better driver!

So they're coming out with new cars than park themselves, eh?

In one commercial, a "car owner" claims that the companies car made him a better driver.

How does this make any sense?
You not having to do any work, and know how to do things yourself, thus having the knowledge of how to react should anything go wrong, makes you a better driver?
I guess I was wrong...


But seriously?
When did the world go from knowing how to do things for themselves, to letting technology do it for them?
If that's not the epitome of intellectual degradation, I don't know what is.
I mean.. I guess this is more of a rant about intellectual degradation, but still!
Why does each generation seemingly become more and more unintelligent?
I'm not expecting them to be geniuses or anything, but I'd hope they have an IQ higher than a peanut.

I'm going to do things a little differently today.

Instead of me typing a rant, I'm going to post a picture I screencapped from another site.

The English language is so foreign to me.

There are alot of things about the English language that I could rant about.
But the main thing I’m going to focus on today is the prefix “re”

Let’s say for instance, research.

‘re’ means ‘to do again’

My question is, what if you’ve never researched a topic before?
Meaning you couldn’t REsearch said topic.

Also, what if you are researching a topic for the first time?

Would it be called searching?
And if so, how would you word it in a sentence?

“I’m searching various STDs for a project in my health class” ?

i R gud wif grammer

What the fuck is wrong with kids these days.

For instance, a typical conversation between me and an ignorant teenager.

Me: Hey, what’s up?

Them: nawt much u?

Me: lrn2English

Them: i use perfect grammer!!!!!

The main argument I have here is that spelling is NOT grammar.

Diction is NOT grammar.

Punctuation is NOT grammar.

I don’t know why kids seem to think that if they make a typo, they can say, “I know proper grammar” and then get away with it. Sure, it’s a typo, that’s fine… but for them to call it grammar?

WHYYYYYYYYY

Why has knowledge of the English language become such a rarity? I mean, I know grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. is used in every other language (well… most) but I’m only talking about English here because I don’t know much about other languages. My advice to anyone using improper grammar, misspelling, lack of punctuation, etc… STOP calling it ALL grammar.

So let's all join hands...

Lately I’ve noticed that major natural occurrences like eclipses, meteor showers, etc. tend to bring people together.

Everyone stops their petty bullshit drama, and comes together to watch these things.

I have to ask… why does it take something like that, in order for people to stop the bullshit?

If one can stop hating someone during the short period of time that these things are happening….. are they not capable of doing so entirely?


NOT TO MENTION
Half the petty drama that’s going on…. is on facebook.
WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT?!

“omg, so and so deleted me, they r sewww ghey”
a) no one fucking cares about who deleted you, or why
b) does posting that make you any better than the person on the other end? NO, it does not.

Sorry, this was initially supposed to be a 1 part rant, but my brain wandered.

Look at all the tattoos I have!

I don’t know if I’ve ranted about this before, but I’m going to do it anyway.

What the fuck is with girls (or even guys) who get the tiniest of tattoos, and then have the odacity to count how many tattoos they have?

“ohai, I have this tiny heart tattoed behind my ear! that was my first one, then I got this butterfly the size of a dime, tattooed on my hip! that was my second one” etc, etc.

yeah, they’re tattoos, but… they don’t even count.
not to mention, why bother counting them?
Does having 2439082902 miniscule tattoos make you any more cool than the next person?
I think not.

Another thing I hate is people who get tattoos that have NO relevance to anything.
Now you can say “well maybe it does have some meaning”
No, I’ve had people tell me they get tattoos for NO reason.
No story behind them, no reasoning behind it, nothing.

If you want tattoos, get them, by all means.
But don’t take 2389472 pictures of them, saying “this is number 4”
No one cares how many miniature tattoos you have.
In fact, unless you have an interesting story behind it… most people don’t care about your tattoos at all.
