Random Rants Two

[Cannae]

Why do high schoolers smoke? Seriously, by god, if you're going to kill yourself slowly, at least wait until you're legal. You're not cool because you smoke, you don't feel good, no one cares if you smoke or not. Jesus.

You know I have to agree with what you said.
When I went to various places around Europe and North America it perplexes me why a person would want to smoke given all the known dangers of it. I ask myself why do some women that smoke also are obsessed about looking young.

 

[LightFang]

Yeah, well, you have the freedom to be stupid. That's what I believe in.

Mega pissed off random rant of the day: Unthoughtful friends.

So I get up at 2am and leave about 2:20am for a 4 hour drive to just north of Des Moines, IA to help a friend move. Somewhere around Mound City, MO, about 2 hours into the drive I call him to let him know I'll definitely be there by 6am or so. He says, "Oh, sorry I forgot to call you. I couldn't get the U-Haul for today so I'll be doing the move on Tuesday instead. Can you make it then?"



Thankfully, I really do love to drive, but I'm not keen on getting up at 2am and setting out on a drive up I-35 for a couple of hours for no reason.

I HATE AMERICAN VISA SYSTEMS!!!

2/3 of the visas requested by Romanians are refused! They need 3 MONTHS to give you a visa! There are at least 30 questions like "do you plan on engaging in illegal drug traffic while in the US?", "have you ever taken part in any terroristic or genocidal activity?"!!


I might not be able to come to the US for the guitar contest I thought I was going to... due to this idiotic system!



Aren't all humans supposed to be born equal? Why some humans from some countries don't need a visa for the US, and we here need it, though we are too in the European Union??

And why does it take them 3 MONTHS??

Now do you see why we have so many illegal immigrants? Its often worse than 3 months.

I hate American Customs...

At this Canadian airport, there was this US Customs place for baggage, etc.

And then, they told us we couldn't bring 3 special shampoo bottles, each worth more than $30 USD, which they never told us BEFORE, and we could bring them into Canada, with THE SAME US customs.

And those Visa questions ARE ********. I mean, who would admit to be involved in terrorist activities?

worse than 3 months? I can imagine this: "The United States of America embassy in Bucharest, Romania advices you to register for a visa with approximately 10 years in advance of the time when you plan to come to the US. If the currency you pay in varies by more than 10% in this time, your visa request will be denied".



This actually from their official site: "Every visa applicant is considered a potential illegal immigrant, until he (or she - Romanian omits the subject here) is able to convince the consular officer that he deserves the status of non-immigrant or non-illegal immigrant, depending on the case".

I thought that ever since the Roman principles of justice, EVERYONE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE???? This is incredibly revolting!! I'm treated like a big nothing that wants to go in their great country to steal stuff!

Just realized that the idiot beating on his wife/S.O. the other day and the idiot roaring his motorcycle to go to the corner store are one and the same. Boy, he sure is a real man, isn't he? Revving up an engine and tossing around what looked like a 90-pound waif....

Feel free to disregard any and all posts from myself, as I just rant.

Donut Patrol to the rescue! This time, TWO cars (plus a later undercover) showed up, along with the same two pudgy Donut Patrol cops from the time I called it in to resolve the case with.......the same people. This time, the two pudgies from before were yelling at the woman about how she didn't call 911 right away or some crap like that. Then it ended and the pudgies left way before the others.

Of course, they'll probably be back again in two weeks.

So I go to my mum and just announce that I got a girlfriend, thinking that she would be all happy and so on. No, she's still annoyed about how rude I was a few hours ago. I felt quite awkward at being basically rejected.

It's a 16-year-old version of saying to your mum that you're getting married, and then she turns around and says "Meh".

My mother is the same way, she works hard to stay mad at you all effing day long; if given the chance, she WILL rain on your parade, put out your fire, AND steal your thunder.

I hate U.S. Customs too.

I was traveling with about 40 people to Canada, and then, once we get off, we go into the Gateway To Canada.

Let's see...

The order which we are called in...

Foreign Passports
Visas
U.S. Passports
Birth Certificates

I was in the birth certificate line.

Why?

I'M TOO POOR TO TRAVEL THE WORLD! I'VE ONLY BEEN TO CANADA ONCE! WHY DID IT TAKE 5 HOURS! BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD SIMPLE PLANE TICKETS!

So basically, I'm one of the 5 people that brought a certificate.

I was second-to-last out of 47.

Worst part here: Some girl only had a U.S. visa and not a Canadian visa. We couldn't send her back, so WE HAD TO WAIT 3 HOURS JUST FOR SOMEONE TO GET A VISA!

So a simple 5-hour trip became 9 hours.

So, what's the simple point being expressed here:

I HATE BEING POOR! IT SUCKS!

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Dude, you're only fourteen. Get a temporary job if you want some money, or ask some more from your parents.

 

[azzaman333]

Blame excessively anal border security, not being poor.

BLAME CANADA! [/South Park Joke]

 

[Love]

I HATE STARTING SCHOOL AGAIN!

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Hey, I started it nearly two weeks ago!

 

[Catharsis]

You know what I hate? Starting school two weeks after gandhi rules.

Oh, did I say 'hate'? I meant

LOEVZ

 

[carmen510]

I have until September 4th, suckas!



In other news, I hate the excessive costs of Uncirculated coins, especially the extreme price rises between Uncirculated grades. I also hate the fact I will never be able to afford one gold coin, until I do like 3 years of community service/meaningless jobs like mowing grass.

 

[Gilder]

I go back in a week.

And I still haven't thought of an idea for this big stupid year-long project they want us to do.

Sept 19th

I win.
