Stupid Parents & Their Stupid Offspring…

just discussing with another friend the total arrogance & lack of consideration some people have. you know the ones…they drag their unruly little hellspawn into restaurants, or movie theaters or other public venues and then ignore the little bastards as they run amuck & annoy the piss out of the rest of us. what is it about parenthood that makes it okay to allow your kids to rampage unrebuked thru life? look around you…this planet is groaning with the weight of all the people; we can’t support the life already here, yet you breeders keep squirting out your little tax deductions like it’s an amazing or miraculous accomplishment.
If I’ve paid 30 bucks for 2 movie tickets & $37.50 for popcorn & sodas, I’d like to sit back & watch the movie without having to hear your precious bundle of joy screaming thru the whole thing. there’s a reason I don’t go to kids’ movies & those letters actually mean something…you know “G”. “PG”, “R”, “NC-17″…
It’s equally frustrating to go into a restaurant & try to have a nice, civilized meal only to be surrounded be squalling brats, unattended children roaming around or women with strollers & 6 tons of baby crap beating my brains out while they try to navigate their way to the table. AND HERE’S WHERE IT GETS REALLY PERSONAL!!! I work at a state park; in a cute little office that features a water cooler & racks of brightly-colored, glossy brochures. I cannot convey to you how utterly tired I am of having to clean up spilled water, used cups & maps from the floor because you assholes don’t discipline your childrren! I am not here to provide maid service for you lazy twats. you birthed it, YOU clean up after it.

I’m not saying you should have to leave your kids at home, or with a sitter, or chained in the yard…just have some consideration for the rest of the world. Make the little shits behave! Take them out of the auditorium when they cry, keep them at your table while dining, don’t let them come thru public places strewing chaos & distruction everywhere. Take some fucking responsibility! Not all of us think it’s cute, nor are we all in awe of your ability to have sex without contraception. Some of us have mastered sex with condoms, so I’m not impressed with your lack of foresight. Just keep in mind that there are other people & the world does not revolve around you or your progeny. We’d all be much happier.

House Prices

I get so angry when I read about house prices going up and up and up. WHO CAN AFFORD THEM?? I know I can’t! What about my daughter who’s 21?? DO you think SHE will be able to afford to live ANYWHERE in the United States with the way the prices are skyrocketing?? SO now we have a “downturn”…with foreclosures hitting a record high! HELLO, MCFLY - IS ANYONE HOME THERE? I don’t consider this a downturn - I consider it a RIGHT turn. How much longer are people going to be complacent about this? IT’S CRAZY the way the house prices are. PERIOD!! There is NO argument about it!

Angry @ Sheeple.

Why people continue to follow the example of a one-track minded ’superior’ is completely beyond me. I was sitting in the food court at the mall recently, watching people exit through the main doors, and I noticed a pattern. Everyone uses the same two doors. They see the person before them go through that door, so they proceed to follow and exit through that door too. Now.. I wouldn’t mind much, had there not been 6 other unused, line-free doors. And before you ask, yes, those doors were unlocked, and fully usable. However nobody felt the need to get out of the time consuming line for the two overused doors and exit conveniently through the other six… This lack of separation from the herd, caused a line from the doors mid-way through the food court.

God (or whatever super-natural being you believe in) bless the mentally advanced man who pushed through the line and used one of the other doors, for it was at this time, it would seem, everybody noticed that there were six other doors! At this new discovery, the line started to dissipate and I was finally at peace… for now.

Angry at Rednecks

What I hate the most are rednecks. Why do you act in such a way to make yourself become labeled as a redneck? I am by all means not a racist or a discriminist.. but how can some American people be so dang ignorant? So ignorant to the point that I have to label them rednecks. I am talking about trailer trash white americans who do nothing all day but sit in front of their lawn staring at the sky while grabbing a ciggerette to smoke. Trailer parks are the most hideous things ever invented. I see these hillbillies building fences around their trailer parks as if the trailer itself is and actual house. How do they even mark off their territory? I don’t even know. I am so sick of trash americans who do nothing but sit around all day and pray that somehow by some kind of maricle intervention that they will become rich and wealthy. White trash should not be allowed in this country. What I think should be allowed is a law that states that americans and people need to make a certain amount of income to be allowed to live in the states.. if you do not make this certain income then you will be exported out of the states and to somewhere else. What a waste of oxygen and a waste of space.

Stupid American People

OMG, thanks to the American people (Not only, but mainly), I mean the rich ones, and their borrowing habbits people all over the world that SAVED their money to invest in better goals get knocked over the head!
Overhere (Netherlands) people with minimum income cannot get a mortgage, why??? because they can’t pay to cover it…sounds normal when you ask me…….The mega risky, and very stupid attitude of the American banks (also some Swiss and UK banks, hell..even Fortis bank has been playing the dumb game) is costing us normal people TOO much.

USA car manufactures are going out of business, believe me…hey get hit by all the bad stuff…Many people are going bankrupt because of this too.

Why moan about high fuel prices???? Why the “peep” do you drive a 2500+ kg V8 powered vehicle? It’s only 4.25 dollar/ gallon…I (Netherlands) pay 8.5 dollar/gallon when you want to compare….stop moaning!!
People in EU and most other countries drive small cars that are way faster and more economic than your fat tanks.

Today, june 26th 2008, was again a VERY bad day on the stock markets..Weak dollar, high oil…it’s a bad thing, for all of us!

2008 may just get to be the worst year ever for common people having to deal with high prices and NO jobs….I really get angry about this…….Bush has to go by the way, USA needs new honest blood!! McCain (a french fries brand in Europe by the way) is just Bush * 1.25…War about oil is no good, it won’t solve a thing.

No Respect!!

Hello,
I am a pharmacist. I went to 7 years of college. (3 years of undergrad and 4 years of pharmacy school) I went in to this because I wanted to “help people.” B L A H !
People don’t want my help! They want me to put those pills in the bottle as fast as I can so they can get the hell out of there as fast as they can. THEN, if something is wrong with their prescription they’ll likely SUE me even though it was them standing at the counter STARING me down asking other customers what they think is taking so long(LIKE I CAN”T HEAR THEM) RUSHING me and causing me to make a mistake in the first place!! Half the time when I go to DO MY JOB and counsel them on the medication, they’re on the PHONE and giving me this look like “who do you think you are? You’re not my doctor, only they (who only had one semester of pharmacology) know about my medicines.” And the effing drive through drives me CRAZY! Sometimes the only thing the person in the car says to me is their name and that’s enough, no eye contact, keep talking on the phone, just like MC DONALDS!!!!
Example:

Me: “Mrs. Smith, I detected a possible drug interaction….”
Mrs. Smith(on phone): “Hold on Kevin, THis lady is talking to me” “What did you say?”
Me: I detected a possible drug interaction with your two prescriptions.
Mrs. Smith: “My doctor prescribed it to me so it must be OK, just give it to me” (back on phone) “Kevin, are you still there? I just need to check out”
Me: But this is a serious interaction and I need to talk to you about it!
Mrs. Smith: “I told you it was fine, just give it to me”

Two scenarios now:
Scenario 1: I give it to her, she dies and the family sues me for all i’m worth b/c I was supposed to catch the interaction and tell her how to avoid it. (even though it was her who wouldnt listen)

or
Scenario 2: I don’t give it to her, she makes a huge scene in the pharmacy, the store manager has to come around and give her a $20 gift card just to keep her from complaining to corporate and my day is ruined.

Win win for me as you can see!!

So basically, people don’t want to be helped! Fat ass diabetics on medicaid will continue to buy their candy bars with their *FREE* diabetes meds and bitches will still be on the phone everytime I see them.
YAY! I’m really helping people now!
7 years down the drain for sure. (not to mention the student loan debt!!)

Coping with Manic Depression

I am a 42 year old woman living with Manic Depression. My diagnoses is Bipolar II Disorder. I have been mentally unwell from my childhood, although at that time my parents did not believe in psychiatry, so I was considered a “problem child”. My illness has spiraled out of control to the point where in 2000 I started to be hospitalized for long periods of time. When my mother had cancer a few years before, I stopped my life to go and take care of her, as my father could not do it alone. It took my parents until the third time I was in the bin to come and visit me and that was the only time. Over the past eight years, I have spent more than two years (if you combine the stays) in a hospital. What I have concluded from this is that people who are mentally ill do not get the same love, respect and concern than those suffering from other (physical) illnesses. We who are mentally ill do not have visitors with flowers and cards. Our stays in the hospital are not supported by those who would not bat an eye at visiting the physically sick. In 2002 the World Health Organization stated that 20% of the global population was Clinically Depressed. That’s a pandemic. What is worse, is that if you have given a trusted person a Medical Power of Attorney, it does NOT include mental health issues. This means that if you are in an institution, you can make medical choices for yourself, even if you are not competent to do this. How do I know? Because I chose to have Electro-Convulsive-”Therapy” in a hospital. Not a decision I would have made in a “normal” state of mind. I went through over 22 of these, which depleted my memory of the years 2001-2003. I do not recall 9/11, even though I sat and watched on TV, according to my B.F. The last hospital I was placed in (December 2006-February 2007) was not good. They had me on many drugs (which I will take happily, as I believe they help), but in particular, they had me on 600 mg of Thorazine. My B.F. waved the P. of A. at them and they fell about laughing. I ended up getting hold of a scalpel and slashing my wrist. I was released three days later. Yup. Not that I’ll name the hospital…..but Belmont is not just a race-track. People with mental health problems are looked down on, made fun of and feared. Historically, our treatment has been suspect, at best. Many of us carry on in pain and suffering that would, if it were physical, have most people hooked up to an I.V. Most cannot afford the treatment that they desperately need. The stigma is enormous, and often stops some one from seeking help. In 2005, the World Health Organization made a Mental Health Treaty for those suffering in Europe, which stated among other things, that those suffering should be given the utmost support in being considered. The war is here, and we do nothing to fight it.
