I present to you a rant from my blog (and I hold the intellectual copyright of the term "SportsNazi"

Social Darwinism
I am now convinced that Social Darwinism has been brought back, that evil, rooting out of the inferior kind, to lead the "superior" humans, weeded out from the weak, into the future.
This evil is called "team sports".

Team sports is not a necessity, yet some people will continuously promote the widespread, even forced participation into such activities.
You know who you are, and I dub thee "sportNazis".

The only reason I can see for team sports is to:

a) Isolate those not interested in sports.
"Any deviation from the conventional thinking will not go unpunished, Ja?"

b)To promote the fitness and "healthy" mind ethic of the SportNazis, through the process of selection.
"UnterStumFuhrer Beckham, you and your fine, muscular legs have been selected to play for the team."

c)To weed out the "inferior" humans through this process of selection.
"Ja, herr Smith, for you, ze war is over!"

d)And finally, to eliminate these "inferior" beings through forced labour.
"Ah, Smith, not doing to well, Ja? Vell, two hundred laps of der field SCHNELL!"

This is a purely criminal thing that is being allowed to happen, in our own country!
It is the ostracisation, humiliation, and finally, the destruction of that clas of people, and it must be stopped, and we must all unite against the SportNazis, and their Blitzkrieg of sports.

A girl I fancied called me fat . Im not fat, im bigboned.

No offence, but your avatar make that comment particularly funny. I can immagine Homer saying that.

You're crazy noncon.

d)And finally, to eliminate these "inferior" beings through forced labour.
"Ah, Smith, not doing to well, Ja? Vell, two hundred laps of der field SCHNELL!"

Se bolded part. You may use "jawohl", ja?

What's your blog's address?

Someone stole my water today, but said "It's only water".

1) I payed good money for that bottle (not a disposable one).

(Although I got it back, it was damaged ).

2) That's all I have to drink.

3) I got lacerated on some glass later (on my leg), because I complained he took my water .

My blog is an MSN myspace, so private (lots of personal details)
This is the only real other rant I'm proud of:

Upon the Drinking Age
This is getting on my proverbial nerves. And I have nerves of steel. Strong steel too, like the 0.5% carbon steel, not the crappy 5% carbon steel that snaps.
Anyway, enough of this nerdish banter.
The person who thought up of having a drinking age of 18 in this, the United Kindom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, bastion of libberty, second only to American (unless you're not white) is a genius worthy of winning the Nobel Prize for beating Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in under two hours....oh, wait, there isn't one.

Okay, let's get this straight....I can legally get addicted to Nicotine, arguably the most deadly drug on earth, (I say arguably, because there is a small contigent of people out there who seem to insist that snorting chalk is a drug....you know who you are), legally have had sex for two years (wait, I can star in a porno, but I can't buy it? What do I give you all for Xmas?), yet I can't walk into my local Red Lion, stride proudly up to the bar, slap down my fresh, new, stiff £5 note, with Her Majesty's countenace upon it, and say, out loud, for all to hear, "I will have a pint of your best stout, Publican, for I am English, and as an Englishman, I can enjoy the benefites, of beiong an Englishman in England!".

Instead, this fine Labour government (though it's harly their fault, so I'm blaming Thatcher) insists on forcing us to wait until we are 18, in theory.
What is the logic of this?
At 18, you magically become physically, mentally, and emotionally mature enough to be able to drink alcohol?
I find this rather strange, as someone of my physique ("Rugby player") should have been able to drink five years ago.
As for mentally mature, there are people who I wouldn't trust with alcohol, if they were sitting in an armchair, with their wife, puffing away on an old pipe, while listening to some Ragtime Vinyls.
Emotionally mature? We3ll, I've seen enough emotionally mature adults to make a grown man cry.

Insisting that people should wait until 18 is basically what separates us from Continetal Europe, where they have a certain amount of trust with their teens.
That's why, as soon as they hist 18 here, they're drinking themselves into the gutter.
They think they can do it, because thye hit an arbitrary barier, giving them the right, without having time to aqquaint themselves, or consider it.
Why-oh-why is this limit even here?
Making a barman check my age credentials isn't gonna stop me drinking...I have parents and friends who would be all too happy to purchase alcohol for me. Even msot strangers would! You ain't stopping my blood alcohol level rising at all, thank goodness.

Now, if you excuse me, I need to get some heroin. It's a damn sight easier to buy that than alcohol around here.

Go on, get it off your chest.

People talk to me.

Undergraduates science students CAN'T WRITE ESSAYS!!! It's like they chewed up a perfectly good essay on thier topic and spit it up again on another peice of paper. Then I have to spend twice as long correcting them writing insightful comments like : "THIS SENTENCE MAKES NO SENSE" and "THIS IS THE THIRD TIME YOU HAVE REPEATED THIS PHRASE".

ugh

 

[Little Raven]

People talk to me.

*sigh* Bozo, we've been over this. Those voices you hear? The ones telling you that the Mexican mafia is tunneling into your apartment from the basement, even though you live on the 3rd floor? They aren't people. I know they sound like people, and I know they make very convincing arguments about burning things. But they aren't really there. And if you just take your meds like you're supposed to, they'll leave you alone.

If you're a teacher, I have no sympathy.

Did you know that 30% of all those who were "hearing voices" surveyed, reported their "voice" had an uppper-class accent?

Having an unfortunate amount of experience with people who hear voices, I can say with some authority that very few hear only one.

If you're a teacher, I have no sympathy.

I'm a TA, not just a T. And I got no problem with the majority of my students, just the ones that skip the lectures, spend 20 minutes on an essay, then complain about the mark they got on it.

I only hear one, but he has schizophrenia.

 

[The Last Conformist]

I'd like my mental health back.

I hate people who give you a blank stare when you say "autochthonous".

I hate people who accuse me of using big words.

I hate short people who walk slowly.

I hate insomnia.

I hate shops that keep 25 centigrade in winter.

Then you deserve sympathy inversely proportional to the stress you face

Do you take me for a fool Moriarity? Meds?? Id sooner consume Nurse Ratchets bowel movements than your poisons! Argggghh! (gets beaten up by orderlies)

Muy bueno, senor, please keep him occupied, we're up to the second floor now and should get in any day now.

Exactly. I want people to be scared of me.

When you tunnel into my apartment, will I be sucked into the hole like that crab?
