Well I am very sorry to read that your respect for boys has gone down the drain.

I dont know what kind of situation you were in but alot of the girls at my school dont really care if they like smack there a$$ or stuff like that. But that is were we stop, if we go into any of those other areas it is major trouble. I personally dont do this to girls because I respect there privacy and such, and I have a girl friend.

Also, about the Pot thing, alot of my friends have been getting into it alot lately and they always aks me to come join them. I never do and I never will, I thank my parents for making me aware of these kind of things and what not to do.
Alot of my friends it seems I am losing. But I still have a great girl friend that I like alot and I also thank her for being with me.

That actually makes sense. Misuse your attributes you shouldn't have one.

Don't mistrust all boys Red. All boys don't do these things, but the f***ed-up ones do. Don't trust the f***ed-up ones. The hard part is cutting the f***ed-up ones out of the herd.


Sorry Red, but you've started something.

I'm about sick and f***ing tired of people who judge me on my appearance. I try very hard to treat people in a way that is dictated by their behavior towards me, and damnit, I expect the same courtesy.

For the first few years of my adult life (and occasionally still) I was treated as though I were a moron just because I'm larger than average. People used to treat me as if I were a big, dumb galoot. I spent my entire educational career(pre-university) in advanced and gifted classes and programs, yet when people met me, they would see a "big guy" and speak to me as if I were 6. This led to a lot of anxiety and frustration on my part, which led to anger. That anger led to me trying to dissuade the common mistake by employing a formal, or at least an enlarged, vocabulary. It had no effect!!! Some people seemed to think it was a parlor trick of some kind or a scam. It seemed like they were thinking "How did that big guy learn those words? and what do they mean?" Then I would hear "OK, you've got book learnin', butcha ain't got no common sense" Just what kind of common sense precipitates saying that to a large, angry person?

I feel a proper rant coming on, but I haven't the time for it now. I'll cut to the chase:

A lot of you who think you don't judge people on their appearance probably prejudge large people.

Maybe I'll come back and edit stuff into this later..........

In some cases, this may work. However, in most cases of a sexual assault, the perpatrator is doing it out of sexual frustration. For some, it's because of an inability to get an erection, which is why they use "objects". Too many sex offenders have even stated that if they were to be castrated, that would not stop them from commiting their crimes. You can't change someone that has no desire to change.

So you can either spend millions housing an inmate or send them to the "chair". It's a nice little catch 22.

Catch 22 my @ss!!!!!! I'd much rather pay for the electric bill to fry all their @sses than to pay the housing-clothing-feeding-entertainment bill to keep theiry punk-@sses alive!! To quote one of my favourite Metalica albums, "Kill 'em All"!!!!!!!

Badboy, you are making the right decision to stay away from pot and any other drugs. They not only DON'T make you cool, but it makes it sooooo much harder to get your life back on track when you do come to the conclusion that it's all a big mistake (as you strike me as the type of person who would never fall into that stupidity trap for life). Not to mention, you get the reputation in your town as being a druggie loser, and when you do clean up your act, that reputation will follow you and make it harder for people to take you seriously. Keeping clean now is sooooo much better for too many reasons to mention. All I can say to you is ....... GOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR DECISION, AND HORRAAYYY TO YOUR PARENTS!!!!!!

WB, I don't know wtf is wrong with ppl!!!!!!! That's all I can say. I've never been one to judge ppl on the way they look or the job they do or any of that. I come across LOTS AND LOTS of different ppl in my job, and that is because I have a boss who is the same way I am...... the only thing he (we) care(s) about is what is inside a person. We've got large and small, rich and poor, politicians and unemployed patients... none of it matters. The only thing that matters is that they need us, and we're there for them, whether they can pay or not. That exterior crap not the point. The point is that we are there to serve...... anyone and everyone!!!!!! I do not automatically think "Oooh, a big fat stupid galoot" when I see a larger person....... I don't know what I think really... guess it depends on how they greet me or how they respond to my greeting. I smile at everyone and say hello to everyone, regardless. If they respond in kind, then I have a more positive mental response. And, if they respond nastily, or have no response at all, like look away and ignore me, then my mental response is much more negative. It has nothing to do with what the person looks like. It's all about what the person IS like. Honestly, my entire life I've never been the type of person who judges one by their looks, and I thank God for this gift of being able to look beyond the exterior before I look AT the exterior. I do see it as a gift, and WB, I am truly sorry that you have to be treated so shabbily, but you [SIZE=2]KNOW you don't deserve it. Forgive them their tresspasses, for they know not what they do. [/SIZE]

WB. I'm sorry for all those people who think you are really stupid based on your appearence. I've had something like that..but it was something different in my appearence that caught people to call me stupid. Really all you can do in this type of situation is ignore them, because trying to fight people who think this and try to proove them wrong on their thoughts won't work.(it didn't work for me at least) Once again..I'm sorry for how people have treated you but you know...the truth will show itself.

Pah. I'd rather send them to the chair and have them be brought to justice. This sort of situation makes a girl feel like and object and no one should feel like an object.

Boys think they have to play up the tough guy attitude. Plain and simply they try to have no emotions besides happiness and anger. They think that toying with your emotions will make them feel bigger around the rest of the boys. Then they can go back to their buddies and say things like...

"Yeah then she started crying...

Don't let them get the best of ya, there are good guys out there who are mature and won't toy with your emotions like some that you may have experienced.

In my experience of being a guy (about 16 years or so), the 'good ones' aren't going to make it obvious that they like you. This is (usually) because they are either shy, or fear rejection. The last thing you'd want is to ask a chick out and have them reject you then (inevitably) tell all thier friends that you like them. Word spreads quickly, give people a few classes, and by the end of the day everybody knows that you got rejected. Ouch.

Then there's the guys who just don't bother because last time they had a girlfriend thier mum found out and told the entire family, making it a frequent topic of conversation which is just too much bother for some people (i.e. myself).

Why are the 'good ones' shy? Well the fact is, they aren't morons with big ego's. That's just my opinion on the matter

Sadly this is too often the case with many of the men and young adults nowadays.

It seems as if there is a over-abundance of morons out there who see themselves as a "Rough-n-Tumble" type of personality, and to them many of todays women/young ladies are nothing but thier "bitches".....

BUT, the sad and true fact is that many of todays "men" wouldn't know what the word means, let alone how to act like such. The idiots of todays society see themselves as "macho" and "bad-asses", yet what these pathetic little imps with IQ's ranging in the high teens fail to grasp, is that in the stereotypical "Macho-man" that they can only pretend to be, women were to be defended against such actions as abuse and crude remarks especially those made by other men.

Now it seems as if it is the cool thing to talk to women as if they are all ghetto-sluts.

HOWEVER, women out there have a responsibility as well (moreso the young women in todays world). YOU have to stop acting like you live in a MTV video and chase after these punks who treat women the way they do.
...remember, you may be attracted to the bad-ass; just keep in mind what fruit you may reap if you pick him.

Yes, there are good guys out there, but you have to be selective as to where you find them.

Wouldn't you like to just grab hold of these f*****g guys and beat the living s**t out of them?

Bloody UK ‘public’ transport, most notably the trains.

I’ve been using the train systems quite extensively (travelling significant distances) for over a decade now and I’ve seen the quality and reliability decrease on an almost daily basis.

I’ve used the trains in countries such as France, Germany, Holland, Denmark etc. and in my experience we pay much more than everybody else for a much worse service than everybody else.

After 10-20 years of chronic under investment, Maggie decides to flog the railways to private investors’ cus this will make things ‘better’. Glad to see it worked <_<

(I shall now digress from the whole privatisation vs nationalisation of public utilities debate on the grounds that it used to bore me senseless during economics lectures!)

Here’s a classic example of just how great our current system is (for you non-UK’ers):

Last weekend ol’ Gid decides to hop on a train to go visit some buds about 2 hrs journey on train. Not a problem (makes a change). Unfortunately when I decided to return home on Sunday to my surprise, when I got to the station, I found that all services had been cancelled – and I mean ALL services.

Why?

Because it had been a bit windy the night before and ‘the wrong type of leaves’ had been blow onto the track etc.

Bugger!

OK – phoned one of my buds from the station and then headed round to his place to crash knowing full well that the chances of me getting home that day were about the same as a piece of chocolate cake surviving untouched in Pavoroti’s dressing room.

I chilled out and mistakenly assumed that I’d be able to get home the following morning because even if there were still train disruption they would have organised replacement coaches between various routes. It would take a while, but at least I could finally get home.

Wrong

Got to the station mid-morning to find that the situation was pretty much the same. I had an important appointment later that day which I had to cancel and was starting to get really pi$$ed off. All coach services were fully booked as people looked for alternative transport, so once again I was stranded. Back to my buds house for another night on the couch.

I finally managed to get home mid afternoon on Tuesday (I’d been trying since mid afternoon on Sunday!).

To add insult to injury, on Thursday I attempted to make a meeting I had rescheduled from the Monday. Rail network reports stated that the service I was using was ‘back to normal’. The fact that I was delayed by over 90 minutes and yet again missed my meeting will give you some indication of what ‘normal’ means.

The government wonders why we have such a problem with road congestion and the number of cars. Maybe, just maybe it’s because people know that if they have to rely on the train service to get anywhere – they’re going to get screwed.

Maybe I’ll learn how to skateboard. On long journeys I’d probably get there faster compared to travelling by train……………………..

<span style="color:red">If I recall right, the story of Dedalis and Icarus...Icarus deceased because he took his flying glory too high and died in the depths of the water.

Well here's my rant for today: Reading. Why is it crucial in school that we have to read? I realize that for History and most all other subjects...but if I recall right, English is meant to be a grammar class...not a literature class! If we wanted to take "LITERATURE" then we certainly could have signed up for LITERATURE. It makes no sense to me probably mainly because I have never enjoyed reading and reading stories by John Steinbeck and John London have no effect on me whatsoever...so why waste my time? I can understand reading about Nathaniel Hawthorne and Shakespeare...but why these other writers who are no name writers? Is it just to occupy our feeble childish minds for a short time? I certainly don't know..but reading something that are by "no name writers" disgusts me.

<_< </span>

Because they're all a bunch of totally stupid, moronic IMBICILIC IDIOTS who just don't know when they've got it so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because you've simply not yet met the woman who truly deserves someone like you, and "Someone Up There" is making sure you don't get stuck with the wrong one....... so you'll be ready and available when the right one comes along....... someone who will treasure you and cherish you like you deserve!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd wondered the same thing..... when the ex left me ....... then met THE LOVE OF MY LIFE and now I know why...... I was being prepared to be the person he'd fall in love with, and being made available for him. All the rejection hurts like hell........ but it all comes out for a reason...... just know that, if they're leaving, they obviously don't deserve you!!! They're just too stupid for you!!!!!

People that still act as if they are little children, thats my rant for the day. My friend, whose name i will not mention if they are known (not you lethal, lol), still acts like this. He says something stupid right, like "Mangles your ugly" or "Tom, your g@y" for no reason. So i defend my friends, right, which earns me a "Shut up four eyes". Just a question, how do you get four eyes when you have glasses? Ive only got two eyes, four wouldnt be bad, if they were in the back of the head but hey, ive still got two eyes only. I expect this in Primary School, but in grade 10 with four weeks till the end of the year, i wouldnt expect this. This person also expects you to be nice to him because, i dont know, some reason. But no one really is anymore, so that earns outlashes to us just because we disagree with him. We gave him a chance the first, oh, 3 terms but enough is enough. Just for the record, he believes everything he says, which can be really annoying sometimes. Also, for the record, he can be nice, not very often, but he can be, which is good when it happens.

Also, people who judge you on your appearance really p!$$ me off. I mean, im probably a little above average, i used to be bigger than what i am now (lost some weight, some how). But you still get the implementation that your lazy and useless. Which isnt right. I do more than what some people who are skinnier do. Its just wrong you get judged on your appearance. I dont believe its fair.

Thats my rant for today.
