It's gonna be about $500 to fix my car.
AND I AIN'T GOT $500. :mad:

I would be the one to get sick before 4th of July and my first day of work. I'd better get healthy soon, I really don't want to miss that pancake breakfast. :sad:

The old thread was closed. :(

The static's even worse.

It sounds like some sort of fly's in there. And what a wonder: Those headphones were what I got for selling magazines! LOL! Cheap piece of crap!

Our "democracy" is nothing but a joke, A BAD JOKE, a estructure were politicians are nothing but a leecherous elite who use the resources of the governament for their own benefits while being deaf to the complaints of the common people. Voting is not falcutative, it's obrigatory! I love my country, but I hate my governament and I frankly believe that our governament, our politicians and our current president, they should all catch a horrible, painful disease and slowly die die die die die DIEEEE!

I wish a Anarcho-Capitalism took over my country. We Brazilians have a hard-working people, I think we would do better without a governament, though. We have semi-Norway taxes and South Africa services. A free-market anarchy would provide much better services. If I could, I would get the . .. .. .. . off my contry. Can't live like a dign, just, honest guy here. You either are . .. .. .. .ing rich or you continually live in terror, scared by crime and being robbed by those mo.............ers in the governament at the same time. Wish I could make this lame hole better, but the only option it seems I have is to get out of here when I can.

@Slaughter: Your country sounds a lot like the USA...

The stupid rednecks across the way are shooting off fireworks, and it's really loud and annoying. Wait until tommorw, dummies!!

I don't think I can cough up enough money (excluding loans, which I don't plan on getting) to go to the college that I want to go to.

@Slaughter: Your country sounds a lot like the USA...

It's Brazil, a country I'm sure you might have heard of. I'm TIRED of this country. I wish I could leave and that this country would burn to hell after that. I wish I could do something to change it, to make it better... but I'm just some loser. There is no hope for Brazil. The only thing I could do is find a way to go to somewhere decent, where people actually have rights, decent lifes, pay realistic taxes and can live decent lifes without being terrorized by crime or the state.

Sorry, but this is Earth. There is no such place.

Do you use it to drive to work?



I need to go for my run but these stupid jerkface neighbors are lighting off fireworks that scare my doggie. And I can't go without my doggie. :(

I got what I think is a cold right before 4th of July. Bleh.

Sorry, but this is Earth. There is no such place.

From what I heard, Scandinavian countries are quite decent. A little high on the tax side, but the governament usually expends it to help people. They are small and quite away, which means no wars or too many people. I wish I could go to, say Finland, and forget my country once and for all. I own nothing to this place.

I'm having really severe deja-vu reading the opening posts of this thread. :uh-oh:

I'm actually kinda homesick (http://downtownrd.blogspot.com/)

I missed the very last thread I would have chance to have. :(

So long now.

I love the title of this thread.

I'm bored! :(

http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/archives/07jun/uf010426.gif

I rant that Abaddon has left.

Abaddon was actually quite a pal of mine in here. Appearantly I've found it hard to get along with some people here in OT (Especially the somewhat intellectual @fiftychatters.. *cough cough*) because of some mistakes I did when I tried to show that I existed some six months after first posting in here. Mistakes are mistakes, well, that was only two cases I can count without thinking too much about it, but now I'm banned from the chat nevertheless. The understandable natural defense mechanism then erupted, and I declared @fiftychat to be sucky (And here I write, perhaps the first&last time ever, that I admit @fiftychat is fun, only when you're bored, and all they did was still talk about American football and mocking me for my first mistake, but it is still somewhat fun. I therefore understand that some people hang out there constantly).

Well, I'm not much around in OT anymore recently, only making declarations here and there about anti-Americanism/sexual liberty as well as about how stupid anti-emos are. :p Oh, and people make fun when I rave about succesful relationships.

Abaddon, well, I was merely a partner player with him as well as vassal in the NESing section of this forum. The NESing section which I emigrated to after discovering the fun of creating history, of course. :p But I'm grumpy to see him gone.

Such are the random rants of this post, and I hope I'll be more active in OT in the future. :)

----------------------

And Erik Mesoy, that is truly hilarious. :lol:

I can't buy fireworks in Illlinois, and all the ones I bought in Indiana suck.

we are caught in the middle of a storm at work: 60 000 angry peasants are standing vs all the slaughterhouses in Belgium over an obselete law that taxed peasants on each piece of cattle they sold to the abattoir which has been declared null and void.

This is going to be such a mess and our workload is going through the roof...

:cringe:

Its gonna be raining on the 4th of July.

I went outside for ten minutes to clear up a headache, and came back in with raging hayfever.

Summer just stabbed me in the back. Roll on winter.

I need to go for my run but these stupid jerkface neighbors are lighting off fireworks that scare my doggie. And I can't go without my doggie. :(

Fireworks scare my kitty-cat too. :( But so do thunderstorms. How does your puppy cope with those?

It's cloudy, I sure hope it doesn't rain, as that would royally suck.

Why do people have to set off Fourth of July fireworks one day early or late? It's not the Third of July. It's not the Fifth of July. It's the Fourth of July. I don't need another day where my dog is scared out of her mind and starts whimpering and trying to crawl under the goddamn desk. IT'S THE FOURTH OF JULY, SO YOU SET YOUR FIREWORKS OFF ON THE FOURTH. NOT THE THIRD. NOT THE FIFTH. THE FOURTH.

Not the fifth. Not the third. The FOURTH. Unless you failed kindergarten/had a bad hangover and slept through yesterday, don't set off your fireworks today. Or yesterday.

Oh yeah, my dad takes work off Monday. It's not the Seventh of July either. So learn to count to four and celebrate on the correct day.

Just so you know, it's just as legal or illegal to set off fireworks on any day.

I set off fireworks whenever the hell I want.

You live in Detroit, those are gunshots.

There is no law preventing people from setting off fireworks whenever the hell they want.

However, there are laws preventing people from setting off fireworks whereever the hell they want.

In some states it's illegal, the only ones off the top of my head are Illinois, Iowa, and Goergia, although I hear people shooting them off now.

It's illegal in most densley populated areas, but there's not much stopping anyone from setting them off pretty much anywhere.


RANT: I've been yo-yoing all day and my finger hurts! :(

If you want to shoot fireworks off for the hell of it on the Third of July or the Fifth of July, do so.

Or any other day.

I think my cellphone is broken. This is a big problem. :cringe:

My IB exam results come out tonight at 9:15 pm.....I think I did really badly on math HL. I hope I got at least a 2 or a 3. I think that should be enough to pass provided I don't get that low on any other exams.

My workload has increased.

. .. .. .. .ing insomnia!!!

Yeah...summer insomnia. I cant fall asleep until 9-10 in the morning and then I sleep to 15-16. It's a really crappy sleep cycle. Though I figure it's partly because of this one girl. I have some...unresolved issues with her. I need to get to her, talk it out and move on with my life but I'll be damned if she's harder to track down then Osama Bin Laden. Even when I finally meet up with her, she surrounded with her friends so I cant do anything.

I'd hate do this over the internet or phone, but unless I manage to deal with this soon I'm gonna have to cause I want to finally sleep to forget.

wow, and awful hail thunderstorm just went down here. the wind cracked open the balcony door of my parent's house and it hailed inside. i had to pick up the ice from the as far as the other side of the house. :lol:

So get this...I would totally do my ex's sisters...two of them. I'm a pig. :(

I had been trying to locate a certain girl I know to get to talk to her or get her phone number (it's complicated but I am quite certain we both like each other). Then I saw her completely accidentally at a supermarket where she was apparently working at checkout as a summer job; I did talk to her about some generic stuff but was so surprised that I forgot to ask her phone number. Apparently she going abroad after two days, and I am probably away when she comes back. Well, I'll get to talk to her again at the latest when school starts again.

One of my co-workers busted his head open and another of my co-workers took him to the hospital. Now my boss is grumpy.

:mad:

One of my co-workers busted his head open and another of my co-workers took him to the hospital. Now my boss is grumpy.
How did he do that?

How did he do that?

The sandblasting guy busted his head open. We've got a lift in the blast bay, and there's a bigass industrial fan on the ceiling. Now it's common friggin sense, not to mention explicit company policy, that when there's a vehicle on a lift, you stay the hell out of it. If the vehicle isn't on the ground, you stay the hell out of it. For some reason, he climbed up into a truck that was on the lift in the blast bay, and from the driver's side door, was reaching over the roof for something. The fan whacked him in the head.

I mean, I don't want to say he deserved it, but he certainly brought it about himself. He'll be fine, he's gonna need some stitches and he's gonna have a scar, but it's not life-threatening or anything. Maybe the scar will remind him not to do dumb crap like climb up into a truck on a lift and put his head in the way of a bigass industrial fan.

I'm just ranting because now my boss is grumpy about insurance-type paperwork and I get to listen to his crap.

OUCH!! Reminds me of that mythbuster episode by the way. Does the guy look like Adam Savage?

Not even a little bit. He looks pretty stereotypically Guatemalan. And now he's got a bloody gash on the front of his head. I probably shouldn't laugh about that.

What mythbusters episode?

People live by the philosophy that others have to earn their respect. What the . .. .. .. . makes you so important that I have to earn your respect? Bugger off. In fact, I have nether the time or the motive to earn your respect. Listen . .. .. .. .. .. .. . you have my respect from the get-go. You're a human being sure you've been through some tough things just by living. You can't earn my respect but sure as . .. .. .. . you can lose it.

What mythbusters episode?

They were testing whether or not someone could be decapitated by a celing fan. Turns out you can't. They even made one with sharpened blades powered by a lawn mower engine, but it wouldn't go all the way through. It could still hurt you pretty bad maybe even kill you.

My younger cat hurt her paw and won't let me take a look at it to see how bad it is. :(

Have you tried to hold her head firmly? Many cats instinctively don't move when you hold there head to avoid hurting themselves. Of course, you should be careful not hurt the cat by holding it to tight.

The best way to restrain a cat is to wrap it in a towel.

Now that my supply of trivial facts and oddball sayings are drying up, I can see myself getting less and less popular by the day as my housemate gets more and more popular. Then again, I'm guessing this is karma for being placed in a camp in a really nice area...

Also, why does my Nokia phone have to have a headphone input half the size of every other headphone input that ever existed...

Wait, this isn't a rant, it's like group therapy, but without the group... sorry guys

I got eaten alive by mosquitoes this morning. god I hate mosquitoes

My TV is broken. It wasn't that old but the warranty has expired :mad:.

Better than being eaten alive by squirrels, for sure.

Better than being eaten dead.

I tried to have a car towed from work today, and one tow truck showed up about an hour later and the driver declared he couldn't tow it because it was an SUV with a trailer behind it, and that would require a more specialized tow truck. So an hour later another tow truck driver with this pimp ass tow truck shows up, but the guy owning the car had already moved it. :(

It's awesome watching people go crazy when they realized their car got towed because they parked somewhere where they obviously shouldn't have parked.

Maybe I just enjoy abusing power (as if there's any other reason for having power), but I do always get a little jazz out of it whenever I have to have someone towed. :) Especially the doctors. Sometimes doctors park in the doctors only spaces without the required decal displayed, and we tow them, and they get pissed off.

But the doctors tend to be pricks, and the few that aren't I leave alone.

iTunes is a horrible program.

I got the ring of death today. That's a big blow because I wanted to get NCAA Football 09, but now I doubt I'll get it.

I've been lazy :(

Don't worry microsoft is quick with the repairs mine broke right beofre GTA.

I got drunk last night and went horribly emo and spilt out my inner feelings, and things like that. It was horrible. I'm never drinking again.

It was horrible. I'm never drinking again until next week

I think mine took two or three weeks to repair, but luckily i had a friend with a 360 that i borrowed.

THE WORST PART IS THAT I WORK THERE. :mad:

when will you upload it on youtube?

Yeah my neck is stiff, my right ribs hurt like hell and I dont know why. The redhead I'm after is apparently out of town so I got wasted a few days ago and ended up with some brunette. Friends tell me I used a pickup line that went along the lines "Are you cold?", though not in the gentlemanly manner but that I started touching her and enjoying she was cold on the touch. I'm such a freak. >_>

I left my lawnmower outside in a thunderstorm and now it won't start.

Rant 1

I haven't been able to get to sleep before 5am last night and the night before. When I have to wake up at 7:30, this is a problem all day. I want a nap.

Rant 2-21

We've got a lot of our Pennsic work done, but there's still a ton to go, with less than two weeks remaining to do it in. I've still got to plan and construct a brand new fabric roof for the large pavilion, waterproof it, and install it. I've still got to finish cutting and sanding the gnomon for the sundial, not to mention install a base on the back of the face and prime, paint, and detail the whole thing, then waterproof it. I've still got to make three dresses from fabric I haven't even purchased yet. I've still got to work out this year's calendar. I've still got to get a hold of some particular chemicals. I've still got to pay for all this! We've still got to load the trailer. This part is like twenty rants rolled into one. I have <b>so much</b> to do. And I've got this week, this weekend, and next Monday and Tuesday to do it.

Rant 22

In order to help pay for this, I'm selling one of my NES cartridges on eBay. It's a hard-to-find game so I'm probably going to pocket about $100, but I hate to part with it.

Rant 23

I'm sore. Partly 'cause of not enough sleep, and partly 'cause of all the construction yesterday.

I'm taking GED classes, because the state requires me too in order to get a GED, which I need to be accepted to college. For some reason my 690 reading and 660 math scores on the SAT aren't enough (that's about 90th percentile). Now that's a rant itself, but there's more!

At these classes everyone is freaking moron. On break time when I get go get a soda everyone else just smokes and talks about smoking pot. Really gets old, and the classes are friggin lame too! The teacher spent like two hours explaining time zones, and people still barely understood what they were! Plus the teacher is a raging Liberal which is better than the alternative considering I'm very Liberal myself. Not in the way she is though, I mean she told us how Gore won Florida by a landslide in 2000, but Jeb Bush claimed his states votes went to Bush instead so Bush won... And she told us how the second Amendment only meant that our country had a right to maintain a military and nothing else. I mean I do prefer a 2nd Amendment interpretation other than the Supreme Court one, but still I'm not going to pretend there isn't debate there...
Only upside is she's really hot:D

Having a hot teacher is terrible in my opinion. At least if you hope to learn anything.

I dunno what triggered the whole thing, but I can no longer stand anthropomorphized aliens anymore. Wait, I know what triggered it, it's that ridiculous love story between Shepard and the blue alien in the video game Mass Effect. Even though there is a thorough background explaining how that specific species does not reproduce through sexual intercourse, she still has a nice rack. :rolleyes:
But I am thoroughly tired of seeing aliens being humans with a different skin color, and sometimes, to show that OH MY GOD THEY REALLY ARE DIFFERENT, a different skin texture. HOW WILD IS THAT?

Star Wars and Star Trek are probably the worst offenders. I mean, pointy ears and bam! you're an alien.

LOL ALIEN!

SHE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT! Apparently a nice cleavage is the most common biological feature in the entire universe.

bad hairday = alien!

http://img.hexus.net/v2/gaming/screenshots_xbox360/mass/asari1_small.jpg

And here I've got to dissect the Wiki article, because it's so ridiculous.
All asari are mono-gendered, although they display, from a human point of view, female characteristics,

HOW FREAKING CONVENIENT! Dang, I'm glad they evolved specifically to satisfy the psyche of males of a different species!

with the ability to bear and nurse children. Their reproductive and dual nervous systems allow them to mate with any species or gender, with whom the offspring is always female and of the asari race.

WIN-WIN!

The asari are capable of participating in and enjoying physical sexual contact.

WOOT!

However, to produce offspring, they form a mental and spiritual connection with their partners, and by doing so, draw genetic material which is combined with their own to produce offspring in a form of parthenogenesis.

It's not just sex, it's deep and meaningful because it's a mental and spiritual connection, you see. What that means is that yes, you get to bone her, but be sure to choose the right dialogue options.

Agreed on Star Wars. Mandalorians look EXACTLY THE SAME as humans, the only difference is that Mandalorians are a lot more violent.

And Wookie = Sasquatch, Wampa = Abominable Snowman, Geonosian = Very, very, very big bug, and Gungan = Annoying.

Having a hot teacher is terrible in my opinion. At least if you hope to learn anything.

While I agree with you. Understanding simple things like how seasons work (eg when it's summer in the North it's winter in the South etc.) doesn't require a great deal of my concentration... In fact it doesn't even require learning, anything I didn't know by the time I was about ten.

Having a hot teacher is terrible in my opinion. At least if you hope to learn anything.

I had the hottest teacher ever in high school. It was my only D. Seriously she was so hot.

Maquerade that was quite a rant I agree with you though.

Two things:

#1: Aliens are anthromoporph--err, arthriticopomorhp--err, anthraxomorphic--

:mad: --Christ--

--they LOOK LIKE HUMANS because it's cheaper to make that kind of costume.

#2: I had a high school teacher (just one, sadly) who was both hot AND intelligent. Believe me, you learn a LOT from that kind of teacher. Well, at least I did. :D

I just figured out my house is under attack by house centipedes.

Some posts deleted, Nylan, don't do that again.

I don't think people are ready to accept sentient aliens that look like paperclips, for example.

Paperclips are terrible actors. It's a well known fact.

Yeah, I'll grant you that for the old '70s flicks.

But for a computer game?

I'll take a paperclip any day over a blue-boobed alien.

Well did you ever see those jelly fished aliens in the game.

My dad's considering moving us to CANADA! No, I don't wanna be a Canadian and add eh to every sentence! (No offense to any Canadians.)

Well did you ever see those jelly fished aliens in the game.

yeah, those were fine. But the vast majority of aliens in Mass Effect are humans in a suit.

My dad's considering moving us to CANADA! No, I don't wanna be a Canadian and add eh to every sentence! (No offense to any Canadians.)

Then... don't? What's wrong with Canada? Canada has some nice things.

Mostly the problems with moving anywhere, missing friends, having to learn new stuff, (Now I have to learn Canadian History if we do), and since I'm in school, problems with school learning, not to mention other things like my Karate classes.

I am SO screwed in RTR.

Here's the deal.

I am the Germanic Tribes. The game is Hard AI and Hard Battles, Long Imperial Campaign. It is the summer of 190 BC.

This game has already proven itself to be THE FUNNEST RTR game I have ever played. The long wars to establish myself against great hordes of foes tried my commanding capabilities in tactics, strategy, and grand strategy. After dispatching the local barbarians and the Gauls, I became involved in a slugging match in northern Italy with the Roman Republic, which, after many years and innumerable casualties on both sides, resulted in my retreat from Italy, to more defensible positions in the Alps. At the same time, I was forced to fend off the Thracians, who invaded from the Eastern steppe into Prussia, the Spaniards who invaded Narbonensis and Lugdinensis (southern and central France), and the Illyrians, whom I fought in Pannonia, Illyria, Histria, and Delmatia. After a very very long time, some very risky moves, and some fantastic victories, I siezed my chance, and ran a quick and devastating blitzkrieg down the boot and took Rome. The rest of the peninsula soon fell, as did the Republic, and Spain soon after that. After I turned the tables on the Illyrians and drove them from Delmatia, their allies, the Macedonians, joined the conflict. Now the Allies include Illyria, Macedon, and Thrace.

The Macedonians are without question THE power to be reckoned with. Though I control 60 provinces and all of Western Europe, they control more provinces than I, have a much larger economy, and, most importantly, can draw on a vastly larger population. For all my fantastic victories and immense power, even I am dwarfed by their potential.

I have never seen the AI do this.

The Macedonians control Greece, Anatolia, Syria and Iraq, Judea, Egypt, and part of the Pontic Steppe. From this, they are capable of creating epically huge armies. Even I, in my Macedonian games that stretch from India to Tunisia, have never been able to create an army the likes of which you will find in this screenshot:

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/2563/macedonianhordeew7.jpg

The average Macedonian army has, in my experience, around 2000 men. Using this number, we can estimate known Macedonian strength to be in the area of 80,000 men in the field, plus 4,000 Illyrian, and at least 5,000Thracians near the mouth of the Dniester River.

Assuming my average army fields 1700 men, and I have nine armies in this theater, we can estimate my forces present to number at 15, 500 or so.

This means total Germanic strength in the Illyrian Theater of Operations: 15,000 men.

Total Allied strength in the Illyrian Theater: 89,000 men.

This does not include, of course, the 10,000 I have dedicated to the Carthaginian Theater, or the 5,000 in the Northern Theater fighting the Thracians. Even with them included, I have only 30,000 in the field, against a known 89,000 man force. I am still outnumbered 3:1, and that is only known Allied forces.

The conquest of the massively huge Carthaginian cities has given me new monetary strength, permitting me to que the training of an additional 20,000 men over the next four turns, though it may be as many as 15 additional turns before they reach the front lines.

Despite this vast numerical inferiority, I have managed a string fo stunning victories, for my men are battle-hardened and experienced, led by capable, veteran generals, including my ten command star Faction Leader. I am averaging only 15% of the casualty rate of my opponents in each battle, losing perhaps 300, yet liquidating entire Macedonian armies. Yet no matter how many I cut down, there are always new armies rushed to the front. I imagine this must be how the German generals felt on the Eastern Front, capably trained and led, but hopelessly outnumbered. I am lucky that the Macedonians do not fall on me with their full force of numbers, and only allow a trickle into Illyria, though it is still enough to outnumber me 2:1.

I cannot keep this up forever.

This is the present situation:

http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/4433/germanssoscrewed1px0.jpg

I am forced to retire four armies to Italy for refit, with only two armies arriving to replace them. Though I command a superior position to the north of the Danube, I do not hold the bridge I so desire to. Though Segestica is newly liberated (it was mine before the war, taken long ago from the Illyrians), its purpose as an anchor for the line there is minimal; if my front folds, it will be there, not in Pannonia.

I wish I had more men.

No matter how many battles I win, there are always more Macedonians rising to take their place. It is a game of time. I must hold them back until I can refit those armies, and rush the new ones to the front. I must finish this conquest of north Africa quickly, for I need both the men there and the cities' production capacity. I need to win every battle I fight. I need to survive.

I need more time.

However, I have a plan for a diversion.

While truly epic numbers of men await me in Macedonia, the Pelopponesus and southern Greece are virtually undefended. With their cities quickly becoming infested with Germanic spies, it will only be turns before a raiding force arrives and siezes several of Macedonia's most populous cities, richest provinces, and threatens their flank, as well as the rest of Greece. If I pull this off, it will be one of the greatest turning movements in RTR history; if I don't, there can be no hope for the Germanic Empire.

Never has the fate of so many rested on the actions of so few.

^ Best rant ever.

Agreed what game is that.

Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion, but the mod is Rome Total Realism.

Thanks I'm gonna check that out.

I've also got a rant, I was jogging today when I felt this pain in my back. I had to stop and just wen't home and have been laying down ever since.

I can't quite "Get Around" :(

I can't quite "Get Around" :(

Where the hell have you been?

I look outside and I see a massive grey depressing sky :(

the internet works on my dad's computer, my mom/sister's computer, the laptop, and the PS3 but for some unknown reason, it refuses to work on my computer. blah

and my parents got a sprinkler system and now the grass it always wet and that bothers me. i like dry grass.

My computer still won't turn back on. :sad:

I believe many servers have a five device limit. I'm not positive though.

I bet Canada has Karate classes. And some of Canada speaks English.

I believe many servers have a five device limit. I'm not positive though.

My uncle said I had this problem, and you just need to fiddle with the router settings. It didn't work for me, but I think that's because that wasn't my problem.


My rant...

I still have three of my wisdom teeth. Because when my bottom left one was a problem, that's the only one they took out. And I canceled the appointment to get the top ones removed, because I went into a panic about general anesthesia. So I've still got the top ones, which are fine, and the bottom right one, which is starting over the past two or three days to be a problem. It wouldn't be a big problem except that I'm going away for two and a half weeks, in one week. I can't get this taken care of in the next week. And I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to get it taken care of while I'm away. So it seems like the best-case scenario is that it becomes not a problem of its own accord. Second-best-case is that it gets worse, I hit up an ER in western PA and get a script for some numnums painkillers and then deal with it for real when I get home but chill with the numnums painkillers while I'm away. Worst-case is that it gets worse and I can't get it dealt with at all in PA and I can't get a script and that I'm just in awful mouth pain for my entire vacation.

Mile Repeats suck, especially when they're at 90%. I can barely move my legs.

There are three kinds of poeple that make me lose my hope in humanity when I read one of their letters:housewifes, women trying to help their husband in a business and businessleaders.

I am no grammar nazi and I would occasionaly make a mistake in my typing, (i'm talking about Dutch, you will probably find some mistakes in English, who cares anyway, grammar nazi)
but sometimes you test my patience, hurt my eyes, decrease my libido and kill my brain when I read one of your letters, housewifes.

Learn to write, or better, learn some words, there is nothing worse then the poeple who tries to write a letter to a lawyer (so it's formal) and start with: dag, (the equavalent of yo)

and then write up a complete bunch of incoherent nonsense spread out over an atrocious lay-out and font. (some poeple should be shot for using "funny" fonts), make horrible grammar mistakes, switch between "je" and "u" constantly, (jackel and hyde syndrome anyone), and miswrite even the easiest words in such a way i'm thinking I'm working at a "special" school or you women are doing it on purpose (which colour of car goes the fastest? Red or blue?).

These women deserve a good wifebeater, and if they would be pregnant and I was their husband, i'd personally do some social darwinism to make sure their genes don't spread.

Then you have the women who work in the business of their husband, a little less atrocious but double as annoying just becuase they have the tendency to think they know anything.

Go back in the kitchen, ask your husband to hire a cheap employee for the company and leave the world alone, you can drink your gin all day long, so smile when your husband crawls on top of you.

and one fact: women cheat their husband more then vice versa, this can be just anecdotal, but some women are just golddiggers and then even dare to claim they do it "for the kids". (it's especially hypocrite when they start talking about the alimony when their "new" boyfriend is sitting next to her, and the kids are in the car.)

and then, businessleaders, these guys are supposed to be the "elite" of the society, the best and brightest, becuase yeah "the free market solves all".

I'm surprised the free market can solve anything when I read your letters or hear you over the telephone.

No, we won't work harder for you becuase you found the caps-lock button, and no, an exclamation mark does not make us worry about the urgency or importance, it just makes you appear more for the loudmouthing idiot baffoon you probably are.

and please, don't be an idiot, don't claim you know the law better then a lawyer, you are being retarded, I don't claim I'm better then you in ruining a business, so have some courtesy.

And please, be professional, I like West-Flemish too, but I don't like it when I hear it from some corpulent idiot like you. We are at working hours, and we must uphold some standards, you are supposed to be an example for your employees.

What's even more disgusting is that you blackmail and lie to your own cliënts, how dare you, you got the guts to sue the state for a wrongfull tax (you win), but you are being a damn filthy criminal when you don't send the money you got from the trial to those that payed the tax in the first place (the farmers who sold their pgis to you and had to pay the tax). When you even threaten them to not accept their pigs or cows when they go to court for it, I hope a bull will rape you.

"the elite of the society who keep the country running?"

"the only elite you remember me off is that of the nobility: inbreeding criminals with a tendency for nepotism and outragious decadence.

And now time for another inbreeding "elite", our royal family.

Dear King Albert II, you are an idiot, a hypocrite, a liar, a coward and worse.

you, the son of a nazi-sympathisiser, aren't worthy of anything more becuase you came out of the right orifice.

I hope we can do a mussolini on you, since you like Italy so much, you flee there whenever there is some trouble in the country. Maybe we should strangle your wife with the scarfs sge got with the state-funded shopping sprees of her.

Maybe? Definitly.

What's even worse, is that unlike your brother, who had at least some integrity, you have children.

and let's look at the fine lot they are: idiots avant la lettre.

Crownprince Filip has even worse social skills then the autist from rain man, and the intelligence of a rotten corpse. I'm glad you can mutter some words, becuase it takes away the doubt of what kind of idiot you are.

And please stop making children (that go for all of you royal family)

yay, we are all glad you could be finally hooked up with some doll when you were 47 or something but you don't have to make it up for it with producing a new idiot every year, like your sister and brother do.

Please, for the sake of this country, kill yourself.

you are only furthering my own agenda by living.

Princess Astrid, congratulations on being the chairwoman of the red cross, it gives you some prestige and the chance to act like a figure of the union of Belgium, and that's probably why the red cross has split last year in a Flemish and a wallon part. (screw the Brussels red cross)

Also, stop making kids, yes we know you all are ultra-catholic, but don't, please don't, with every kid you make, you hurt my feelings as a tax-paying republican and you lower the I.Q average of this country.

Prince Laurent, you like being rich, having all the cars you want, golden watch al galore, estates and still complaining you don't get enough money so you even have to resort to fraud of instead of our charity?

What have you ever done to deserve it?

Actually, can you name something you have done?

You must be the worst hypocrite of the world if you claim to be green, then just to drive off in your porsche.

I hope I can personally get your hands on you, I'd suffucate you with your own exhaust of your porsche, to proof Carbon monoxide is bad.


one good last advice, just do what Fabiola is doing now: shut up, smile when you have to, and slowly wither and die.


that
is all.

Phil, I'm no one's wife, but the pre-lawyer letters I've written for my company have shut up some crap-ass lawyers. Your paintbrush is just a hair too big, dearie.

HOLY CRAP FRICKIN FRACK

So my boss hurt his back the other day. And went to the ER, and got a script for something that has alleviated his pain but left him behaving terribly. He's being rude to everyone, saying stupid, thoughtless things, and generally making a lot of messes that I have to clean up.

If you want to take drugs that make you a dumbass, I have no problem with that at all, I don't care what drugs people want to take, but for the love of all things holy, stay home when you're high. I really hope he makes a mess that he has to clean up himself, just to get a taste of what he's doing to everyone else.


Also, this tooth problem is becoming more of a problem, and my pre-PA time to deal with it is growing short. :/

Damn lawn maintenance people are making too much noise and parking directly in the road. They're working on my neighbor's yard. I'd be a bit more sympathetic if they were senior citizens that were physically unable to say, mow the lawn. But they're all able-bodied people. They have three able-bodied boys and two able-bodied girls. Get off your ass and do your own goddamn work. The money could be used for something else. But NO. This is the third time I was woken up by them.

Dear Eran of Arcadia,

Perhaps I could mend your trousers for you. If you buy the materials and send them and your pantaloni to me I will send them back fully repaired. As for your roommate, I hope that you have every success in driving him away.

Yours sincerely,

I am sure it is cheaper just to buy a new pair - but these are fairly new.

As for my roommate, I am going to have to be the one who leaves. He doesn't understand that he can't be the only one who dictates what happens in the apartment, but since his communication skills in general are such that I cannot make him understand that he doesn't get to unilaterally decide how much rent each of us pays, I really have no choice.

can't you use your mormon-superpowers on him?

No, he's Mormon too. It would be like that fight between zombie Jack Sparrow and zombie Captain Barbarossa in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, only without one of us turning mortal.

Wait... doesn't Barbarossa come back to life in the third movie?

I'm surprised nobody ranted that I'm back. ;)

Well, yes, he does, but that doesn't really apply to this analogy.

I feel quite a lazy.

I just made a list/note which says: Do a list of things you need to do.

Actually, he was there in the second movie too (if only the last 5 seconds of it), so he was really brought back in the second movie.

One of my teachers suggested that I might be depressed, but I can't work up the nerve to go to the doctor or for that matter, tell anyone.

And thats because that woodo hag wanted to become god again and he had one of the nine pieces of eight

For the purposes of my rant, disregard everything that happened after Will dropped the last coin in the chest . . .

Mostly the problems with moving anywhere, missing friends, having to learn new stuff, (Now I have to learn Canadian History if we do), and since I'm in school, problems with school learning, not to mention other things like my Karate classes.

Don't worry, none of the kids here know Canadian history either.

And karate is just as prevalent in Canada as in the US, I did it for years.

Then... don't? What's wrong with Canada? Canada has some nice things.

I'm a big fan of maple syrup and snowy mountains.

Sunburn blows.

Sunburn blows.

Chance would be a fine thing...

I was walking down the street at 6:30 in the morning (yes, my new internship has stomped by abnormal sleep cycle all to pulp), feeling really groggy. I was walking looking at my shoes, and some random lady was trying to get me to sign some petition about some art exhibits or something. It was really annoying. And then I got on an early train to go back home. It's a semi-express, meaning I have to get off at the last local stop and wait for the next local train. The stupid local train wasn't coming for another 20 minutes. I won't be taking that train again...

I'm thinking about stopping taking & asking for phone numbers. It always leads to relationships and that leads to disappointment from one side or the other. Best thing IMO is being friends with privileges. I mean I have always been a great friend but horrible, terrible and lousy boyfriend.

The sole exception to this is one damned redhead that wont go out of my mind. It was fine during the school year, I was too busy to go after and chase her, had tons of work and well....others girls were always nearby to satisfy any urges I had. Now with summer vacation I have too much time on my hands. I can't stop running simulations in my head about her. It's just driving me insane.

I think I love her. (it's lasting too long for a teenage crush) But I dont want to love her. I was pretty content with being a cold suave bastard. (somewhat like J. Bond) Though I will resolve that pretty soon. Gonna ask her to set me free. No, not in the sense that I am lung-shot and require another bullet to finish me off, but I'm going to run up to her, profess my infatuation in a rather poetic and heartwarming way. Oh yes.

Then I am going to ask her to blow me off, painfully. Not like a knife in the back or breaking your heart in a thousand pieces and throwing each piece into a fire. No. More like a vertical katana slash down your spine, splitting it open in two so you die in a most nerve-wracking excruciatingly painful way. With that done, I can go back to being my usual unemphatic charming semi-psychopath self.

It's a win-win situation! She blows me off, I go back to the way I was, my powers of cold resistance +90 and 'Not Givin' a ..... about anyone else' returned! Should she actually wants something to do with me.....well it'll be something new and wild. *sigh* I've gone soft (not in that way, you perverts). I'm not used to this....'having feelings' thing.

Anyway that's the best plan I can mastermind in this disturbed state. Does it seem reasonable or better said is it mad enough to actually make sense? Sanity is such a small price to pay for power.

No details necessary, I believe?

Cleric, what happens if somehow she loves you and refuses to blow you off? I don't know much about relationships, but what happens then?

Your crazy Claric.

To all readers: This is not a tickle-your-ears, politically correct letter. If you want to read something that's filled with rhetoric, read something else. If you want the truth, then read this post. Before examining the present situation, however, it is important that I get Mr. Complainer Guy off our backs. If you looked up "uncontrollable" in the dictionary, you'd probably see his picture. He is the hypostatization of priggism. That shouldn't surprise you when you consider that I will never give up. I will never stop trying. And I will use every avenue possible to treat the blows of circumstance.

Complainer Guy's jibes are the perfect delivery system for judgmental, sententious behavior. (The merits of Complainer Guy's artifices won't be discussed here because they lack merit.) If you want to clear up these muddied waters with some reality, then tell everyone you know the truth, that any effort to negotiate with Complainer Guy or appease him is akin to spitting into a hurricane to quiet its fury. That said, let me continue.

If I am correct that we have to start talking with one another honestly, in honest language, then if he had done his homework, he'd know that he is terrified that there might be an absolute reality outside himself, a reality that is what it is, regardless of his wishes, theories, hopes, daydreams, or decrees. To oppose sadism, we must oppose metagrobolism. To oppose animalism, we must oppose charlatanism. And to oppose Complainer Guy, we must oppose frowzy, illiberal prevaricators. Squalid adulterers like him always lie. Even an occasional truth is intended only to cover up a bigger falsification and is therefore, itself, a deliberate untruth. A final note: I have absolutely nothing in common with Mr. Complainer Guy.

Cleric, what happens if somehow she loves you and refuses to blow you off? I don't know much about relationships, but what happens then?

I think that's what I'm afraid of most. Chances are good enough that it might happen. We get along great, she always runs up to me to give me a hug when I see her and confides to me. (though I reckon this might be just the side-effect of the Friends Zone) We are very similar in most matters, from our past to personality. That's another thing, she's too good to be true. It's like someone pulled the image of a perfect woman from my brain and created her. Redhead? Check. Lovely electric blue eyes? Check. Curves? Check. Intelligent and witty? Check. A little crazy? Check. Nerdy? Check. Kinky? Check. Loves Rambo movies and playing Civilization? Check! Ka-ching! *lottery winner alarm noise*

I dont know what will happen...my brain just goes haywire when I load up that scenario and try to make a simulation. Neural pathways collapse, synapses go into a gridlock, neurons start misfiring left and right and the core just goes into a meltdown. It's basically a Chernobyl in my head. Best not to think about it and just do it.

Effin' teeth. So I have a wisdom tooth sprouting. See previous rant. Gotta get it yanked. I got an appointment today to have it yanked. (I'm freakin' out all day because I don't do well with anesthesia stuff. Panic mode. No Valium or anythin', so I'm just freakin' out all day, freakin' out in the office until I figure out... I'm getting ahead of myself. But I had a crappy stressy morning.) I'm leaving for eighteen days on July 23, next Wednesday. I want to get this dealt with before I leave, because I'm pretty much not going to be able to get it dealt with where I'm goin'. So I go today, to get it yanked. Dentist says "oh, it's infected, I can't yank it today." Except less plainly, so I have to friggin yack with her for ten minutes to figure out that I'm basically screwed? She says she'll put me on antibiotics - wait, I'm allergic to penicillin, so somethin' funky, k, k - and that it's gonna take at least five days before the infection's cleared up enough so that it's yankable. At least. She's not sure, it might take longer. So dentist lady am I totally screwed? Oh, no, okay, I can get an appointment next Tuesday (four and a half days. this better work, lady) and if it's cleared up enough by then then she can yank it Tuesday. Argh. Okay. Good enough.

So she gives me a script for.. the script says "clindamycin". Here's hopin' I ain't allergic to it, I just took one ten minutes ago. While she's handing me the script for the antibiotic, she says "I gave you some Vicodin too". Well that makes things suck SUBSTANTIALLY less. So I go the pharmacy and I get my scripts and I eat my pills and now I'm tellin' y'all about it. I got a busy-ass weekend and I'm kind of ambivalent about the vics 'cause I got a lot to do, so I can't be too wacked out, but if I keep the dose low then I won't be too wacked out.

But dammit, if I can't get this thing yanked Tuesday I'm screwed. I can't be all wacked out then. I've got a big frickin' truck with a big frickin' trailer that I've got to drive on Thursday because two out of four of us are too girly to handle a big frickin' truck with a big frickin' trailer. Three dudes and only one of 'em is man enough to do it, and me. Five and a half hundred miles, and I'm half the drivin'. My friends suck.

Well dammit, now I have to rant that I don't get to go on a road trip! :mad: I don't care what I'm driving, I looooooooooooove to drive, but my next road trip probably won't be until my November vacation. I do the best I can when I can, like my day off yesterday when I drove a couple hundred miles, but it just isn't the same as hitting the road for 700 miles in a day. :cry:

Oh, sorry about your teeth btw. I remember getting mine yanked back in 91. Wasn't fun as I had to drive myself so no getting knocked out. All done with local.

I have too many things to do over summer.

Everyone has something to do this Summer but me.

I may have missed a good oppourtunity with girls. May have.

What is the point of having Study Abroad programs if a large majority of the classes do not transfer back to the home university?

Then please enlighten. When a student shells out $12,000 to go to Europe to study, the home university should at least accept the transfer credit for courses.

It seems pointless to pay $12,000 to attend a foreign university, and then end up staying at the home university for an extra semester or two since none of the classes transferred back. It is basically a really expensive vacation with homework. I'd just travel to Germany for 1/2 the price and not sleep in a dorm.

The home university wan'ts more money.

It's about travel, widening one's perspective, learning to become a team player with different people and in general becoming more of a world citizen. I don't support the UN, but I support global democracy and intervention. If you are an isolationist that sees no value in foreign perspectives, experiences and cooperation then I can see how you think it is worthless. It's about developing yourself individually - among your peers. If you need validation from the state (in the form of credits) then you are not ready for the experience.

In my experience (and all the stories I've heard), the credits transfer anyway.

But we could do all of those things for a 3rd of the cost if we didn't do it with a University. Its not *that* expensive to hostel it up in Europe. Traveling abroad with a university gives you structure to go with that perspective, but if you're shelling out even MORE than typical tuition for a semester...and then an extra semester because they didn't take any of your credits, then its really an stupid investment.

But we could do all of those things for a 3rd of the cost if we didn't do it with a University.

And you would not be with your peers. And you would not have university insurance and protection. And you would not have a structured learning environment.

There's a big difference between the experience of travelling WITH peers and studying an established courseload and just going somewhere and hanging out at the hostels. Personally, I think doing the former before the latter will GREATLY enhance the latter.

If more than a whole two people got that reference (I'm one of them) I'd use it more often.

Make that three. Oh the shame.

There are other, much cheaper ways to travel with people your own age.

I don't know what school you went to, but for both of the colleges I attended, that meant jack ***.

But what good are the classes if you don't get any credit for it? You'll just have to take them again!

Hey, if I have the choice between spending 12,000 in tuition and fees in Columbus, and spending 12,000 in tuition and fees in Brazil or France or China, get me my passport and my camera. But spending 12,000 to go to Europe...then spending ANOTHER 12,000 to take all those same classes AGAIN in Columbus because my school wouldn't count them, and then all that money I lost in wages because I have to defer entering the workforce by at least another semester...it just doesn't add up.

Hey, if you had unlimited resources, or if you school will accept the credit, you should really go. My greatest regret about how screwed up my undergraduate experience was that I'll never get to travel abroad. If your school DOESN'T accept the credit though...I think its a waste of money.

I don't know what school you went to, but for both of the colleges I attended, that meant jack ***.

It's the difference between you getting air-lifted and not in a 3rd world country.

And the same level of education and of some intellectual capacity. And trustworthy? What's your plan, a sign on the corner: "going to foreign country, need 20-30 educated people with some intellectual capability who will pay their own way to go with me... We will be learning about said country from professors from their university (which you people will pay for) and the courseload is not optional; everyone is expected to participate in the learning experience and complete homework so that you can contribute to discussion when we travel to places."

Yea, good luck organizing that.

But what good are the classes if you don't get any credit for it? You'll just have to take them again!

The cirriculum is completely different (you can't take those country-specific courses at home - complete with travel and instructers from the country in question). So, no. You can't take them again. What, do you think people take algebra in foreign countries?? No. They take sociological courses specific to that country - that's kinda the point. And since when do you not get credit??

I think some people oppose overseas study because their friends come back changed (with perspective) and those who were left behind in ignorance are not so interesting anymore and they get bitter. Perfect example: Highschool in Israel.

I have no idea why, but my stereo is not currently making any sounds.

I was planning on traveling to Germany at the end of the Spring '09 semester anyway to work on my German.

Look at this list I just pulled up from my university:

Transfer Course List (http://registrar.siu.edu/eval/international/0ge3130.pdf)

Not even the Intermediate German class transfer back as a German class. I have enough General Education Credits to graduate twice. The university doesn't want me learning German, from Germans. I'd have to come back and re-take the entire class with an American teacher, shelling out more cash along the way, and delaying my professional career a semester to a year.

While the German would qualify for "language credit" in states that require foreign language classes, the rest are freshman year general credits. None are specific requirements for a BA or BS. What's the problem?

Why do you have so many general credits? You didn't know there were required classes?

Here was an Austrian Business School I was interested in until I found this transfer list.

University of Economics & Business (http://registrar.siu.edu/eval/international/0au038.pdf)

Since I am double-majoring in Business Economics and Finance I thought that school would be perfect, while allowing me to practice German with the locals.

The way classes are set up at SIU, the upper level courses are available only one semester. Should I go to a foreign university, at minimum I would be pushed by a year (while I am already staying an extra semester to fit in the German and Business Economics classes). I want the best bang for my buck, so it would be better to shell out $5,000 a semester here, than $12,000 overseas (not including airfare) and receive nothing in return except "perspective."

English is a great language. If you're going to speak it (especially as your native tongue), it's in your best interest to speak it properly. /rant

Why do you have so many general credits? You didn't know there were required classes?

No, I changed majors in my second semester of Freshman Year, so all of my architecture classes now apply as General Credits.

The end of the summer break gets nearer all the time; only 22 days left.

I hate my life on so many different levels that if I went through the entire list of things i hate about it one by one by the time I was finished I'd want to kill myself, and probably would. Fortunately, I'm too lazy so instead of listing every single thing about my life that I hate, I'm going to go to sleep.

The end of the summer break gets nearer all the time; only 22 days left.

Mine has only just begun!

And since when do you not get credit??

Thats the whole point of the damn rant. The credits don't always transfer back to your home (read: degree awarding) university, so they're worthless.

But all the credits in his example did transfer, just not as core requirements. It seems the problem is personal credit/class management and a switch of majors, not a denial of credit transfer.

But all the credits in his example did transfer, just not as core requirements. It seems the problem is personal credit/class management and a switch of majors, not a denial of credit transfer.

The problem is the class structure. The upper level courses have prerequisites, and the prerequisites are available only one semester during the academic year.

For example if I go to Germany in the Fall and come back during the Spring, I would not be able to take classes since the prerequisites are only available in the Fall, and I would have to wait an entire year to be able to take those classes again.

Had the business/economics classes been able to transfer back (Even the German classes for Christ's Sakes. The German classes, taught by native speakers, don't even transfer back.) then I could continue on, uninterrupted.

Godwynn, have you tried talking sense into SIUC's administration?
