My Rant of the day:

FUCKING LIGHTS DON'T WORK IN HERE WHAT THE HELL

I got up at 5:30 this morning because as we're in a relatively newly retrofitted building, there's kinks and they're to be expected. There were electrical guys here and I needed to make sure all the servers and network equipment was shut down for the power to be turned off. It took these people twice as long as they said it would to get power on, and now about half the lights in the office here are dead. At least the servers still have power.

:x :x :x

THEY'RE JUST LIGHTS IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE WTF

Go on then, I'll have a go.


- Emo kids. You know, the ones with the stupid 'overhead' Myspace type pictures, the ones who cut themselves because they "just can't take it anymore" or some shit. Grow up.

- Middle lane hoggers. Those cunts who think it's fine to be there, but then do 65 MPH "just to be safe". These people get the middle finger every time.

- Spoilt rich kids. Paris 'nobody-gives-a-shit' Hilton and those types.

- People who like to copy the spoilt rich kids because they think they're cool.

- You know when you're walking through town, and someone walks in front of you, then abruptly stops? Yeah, I hate those people too. I even went as far as to join a Facebook group called "I secretly want to punch slow walking people in the back of the head".

- The way Government always fuck everybody over, and we just roll over and take it. Anarchy ftw.

- Middle-manager-of-nothing types who get paid inordinate amounts of money to do, well, I'm not too sure. Also, the same types who have a BA in Rimlicking from the University of Smartarse. Also, degrees in Management. Way to piss three years of your life up a wall. I'm sure I could manage a department if I tried, I don't need a degree in it (note: I don't have a degree at all and I earn £21k at 23, that's where hard work gets you) - get something useful, like Engineering or a foreign language.

- Shit actors. See: Coronation Street, Bellenders, etc.

- The annoyance I get when I CANT FIND MY FUCKING CAR KEYS AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BE LEAVING IN 2 MINUTES.

- "I fell into a pothole the size of a 10p, broke a toe and got £50k in compensation, because the Council should have fixed it". No. You are a clumsy twat. It's only not getting fixed because you're benefit-scrounger scum and won't pay your Council tax. I don't have any issue with people getting payouts if it genuinely stops them working, but most of the things I see seem to just take the piss.

- Armchair generals who like to complain about Poles or Russians or whatever coming in and 'taking our jobs' from their Council house which the Council is paying for. Maybe if you could be arsed to work, they wouldn't be here in the first place!


Here's a thought: if you don't pay tax, you don't get to vote.

Earning the right to vote is a good idea. In the Starship Troopers book (and to a lesser extent, the film) people have to do national service to earn citizenship, which gives them the right to vote. That's a bit extreme but probably better than giving it to everyone.

The compensation culture can be a bit mad. Thankfully several well-publicised cases have finally brought it home to the legal world that they are allowed to use some fucking common sense (see my first post).

Classic example was the secretary who got 50k for RSI in her thumb. The same day some soldier lost half his body in to an Iraqi bomb and got a couple hundred quid and a pat on the head. Since then a lot more shit compensation claims have been thrown out of court.

Nah, Emo kids are good, they don't often look you in the eye, the won't challenge you when you push past or lambast them for doing something stupid, and any bladed weaponry will safely be used on themselves rather than other individuals.

Religious types who like to thrust their biased opinions up your arse. Religion should have been thrown out when they discovered the Earth wasn't the centre of the fucking universe :x

Also nice clean car + bird shit = :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

I've never been a religious person, but over the past few years I've come to realise what a bunch of dicks militant atheists are.

They have a point though.

I'm athesist, but I'm of the let live variety, I do however LOATHE the organised churches are their doctrines and dogma. It's all bollocks.

No sex before marriage is a great example of population control by fear, because unless I'm very much mistaken (high chance), the core teachings of the bible (the commandments) don't say fuck all about it.

Not to mention The Church's ever changing doctrine, after condemning homosexuality for years, and not allowing female priests, they've changed their tunes in the last 50 years.

But, if reglion is kept personal, and the core stuff is stuck to, it can have a rather large positive affect on society.

Richard Dawkins being a prime example. I saw him on TV the other week and it was like he considered his opinions to be fact. No one else was allowed to have opinion and if you have spiritual beliefs then you're an idiot. What a dick.

Quite true.

Also true. I think that, actually, its the "militant" part of it that is the issue. Anyone who thinks that what they believe is an infallible truth and that anyone who disagrees with them is stupid piss me off. Personally, I don't care what they believe, as long as they are not militant about it. God, no God, godlike being that doesn't give a shit about humans, all powerful space aliens, whatever.

Unsurprisingly I got the rage. The amount of people who's first instinct is not to duck and cover or fire back, but prance around like fucking fairies on crack! GRAAAAAGH :x :x

Was still fun though, running around with no clue as to what the fuck was happening.

5punk, we're shit! Has never been more true than tonight on beef, except 'slinger obviously.

Well I quite enjoyed re-Beef. It's been a while and it was like riding a bike. I did get a little rage from people diving to the ground and insta-killing me but I also killed 2 bunny hoppers in a row quite easily.

This. :above:

Once I got my sound card working again and getting my mic and TS to play nicely together, it was quite good fun. Still hard to shoot people, but worth some more regular 5punky outings I reckon.
