RANT THREAD.

Berk suggested i should make him rant about stuff.
please allow me to start.

Russel Brand.
i'm not British and not all that familiar with his work, but just looking at him makes me want to turn his face into a formless mass.

Justin Timberlake.
Russel Brand rules apply here as well, except that he's more of a cupcake.
he did do that dick in a box thing, wich was moderately funny.
but he's still a massive smug wanker.

Will Smith.
i can actually tolerate him, just not as an actor. the way he acts makes my left eye twitch and makes me mutter "tuesday" alot.

there are many, many more people but i want to leave some for you.

furthermore there's things like cyclists, MTV, emos, that bastard cat from the neighbours, tiny white "dogs", sex and the city, etc...

go on, vent your teenage anger about stuff.

*if you feel this thread is innapropiate, feel free to kick it in the bin, i just wanted to complain about stuff.

'Celebrity Culture', Heat magazine etc. Why? Why does these plagues upon humanity exist? are we really that shallow that we need to read about someone else's life in order to function?

The other day there was an article about the 'Rough Guide...' series, specifically the one done recently on Britain. It basically slagged Brits off for being celebrity obsessed fucktards. Fair enough.

On the very next page was an article criticising Gordon Brown for not revealing details about his private life, whilst simultaneously drooling over that fuckwit Cameron for putting videos on YouTube of him doing his washing - I don't give a fuck what our politicians do in their spare time to be quite frank, and I really don't see what difference it makes as long as doesn't affect their day to day job. Does the fact that Cameron can quote Harry Potter make him a potentially better PM? Only if you're a retarded fuck whose only grasp of reality is East-fucking-enders.

All of the above really fuck me off, but what drives me to all consuming rage -

What I can never get over though is the price of just about every fucking thing in this country compared to anywhere else. It drives me to screaming incoherently. Fuel, food, technology, utilities, even flushing my fucking toilet costs more and more. And what's worse is that the services you pay more for each year get shitter and shitter and the companies that provide them post greater profits.

The fucking rail network is a prime example, virgin tried something different, it actually worked, so the government axed the contract and gave it to arriva, who have really fucking slow, shit smelling, old and unreasonably hot trains that cost double or more to get on.

The very fact that our beer, fags and even stuff like bread and milk are stupidly expensive is not the farmers fault or the consumers fault or industries fault, it's the fucking government. Our fuel prices? The Government! Taxes on everything including going out for a fucking meal? The government!

And we pay for things like an nhs that's riddled with middle management who eat all the money whilst filling in bits of paper, an nhs that is split up into trusts that get given a certain amount of money and have to pay per operation, hence they won't do too many operations or they go bankrupt! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS THAT ABOUT!

And telecommunications! Maggie and Tebbits hatchet job on the state left us with a bt that was about to roll out fibre optic, but stopped because it wasn't profitable! And fucking railtrack, a company that makes money from the train tracks of our nation, the patent absurdity of allowing a company to tender to the cheapest on something as important as train tracks astounds me! What's even better is that we do it with our power stations, including nuclear power! That right there is insanity!

And if we get rid of labour and vote lib dem, then we've wasted a vote, and if we vote conservative then we get rid of one lot of wankers for another!

GRAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!

I wonder what would happen if everybody voted for who they want to win, rather than voting for B so that A doesn't win.

The lower class scum buckets.

When I mean this, I don't mean the hard working lower class who just happen to be in a bad situation, I mean the fucking chavs and other dole/benefit scrounging scum who (thanks to the government being soft as shite fuckwits) are destroying this great nation.

'Pete couldn't get dole because he worked too much the previous tax year? WTF? He's actively looking for work as he got made redundant from his job, yet some silly cupcake rag waste of space will happily form a "family" and pop out sprogs and pull in more money than I'll probably earn as a fresh graduate. And they won't pay tax either.

If you can't find work after 12 months, you should suffer a reduced income allowing you to bearly survive, there's quite a few menial jobs out there. GET ONE YOU SCROUNGING BASTARDS and learn to take responsibility for your own actions and to get going under your own scheme.

The PC and H&S brigades, I understand it's there to protect people, but the real world is harsh and needs harsh rules, fuck off unless it's actually important, and stop scaring people into think they can sue for the smallest accident (Looking at you, Accident Claims companies!), people are stupid and silly and will hurt themselves, might as well let them.

The Human Rights Act. In it's current form, one of the most fucking stupid laws in the book. The principle is good, but it's far to general and allows lots of exploitation of it's original purpose for utter crap.

Coppers. They're loverly people and do a great job, so why can't the government give them some slack, as it stands, one of the reason why the chav underclass isn't afraid is that they are under far too much scrutinty doing their jobs.

Speed Cameras.
FACT #1: Government Stats prove that under 5% of all road accidents are due to excessive speeding.
FACT #2: Lots of the other accidents are down to drivers being shit, doing things like going too fast for the situation (not breaking the limit though)

Surely all the money spend erecting and supporting the schemes would be better funded into more Police traffic officers and better training for the public.

The recent (and current) government:
Maggie Thatcher. Fuck knows how no-one seemed to stop her single handly destroying the country, but as much as it pains me, we need someone with her resolve to actually fix it, Gordon Brown won't do fuck all, nor will Cameron. Boris, for being a bumbling fool, actually might do SOMETHING if he gets the chance.
Which leads me on to the rest of the politicians, I understand some of you actually try and make your country better, I applaud you, but quite a lot of you live in your own upper class worlds and do seem to give a flying fuck about the companies and rules/laws that are fucking over the general populous.

The public. It seems everyone these days is a solitary person, maybe it's a southern thing, but no-one says hello, let alone smiles!

/End of unstructured rant.

Amblin for Prime Minister!

this, but in a different way.

i've seen a couple of people ruin their lives just because they want they want to walk pink eyed through the streets muttering nonsense at bypassers after school. it's very, very painful to see someone slowly wasting away whilst you can do nothing about it, i can tell you that much.

(i should add that some of these people did do other stuff as well, but mostly marihuana.)

All of this. It really enrages me. I am fiercely patriotic; I fucking love this country, but I am becoming increasing exasperated by my alleged "choice" in political parties. Recently I haven't bothered to vote as I couldn't honestly say that I trust a single one of the parties offered to me. Before that; I voted Green, more as a way of sticking two fingers up at the establishment, than a reasonably considered opinion. Even that, these days, seems fucking pointless. No-one seems to represent my views any more; views which I consider to be fairly normal and sensible.

I'm not politician, and so can't really offer my own manifesto, but these people are paid a fortune (and milk a whole lot more from a an expenses system which all sides seem to take the piss out of) to do a job. A job at which, I dare say, the majority of the people in this country think they are shit at.

The shameful mismanagement of our national services is enough to drive me to violence. As Pete said; it's so bogged down in blue collar twats, that the people who actually know what they are doing (health care professionals, civil engineers, etc.) are left to salvage the carnage that the "business strategists" and "managerial consultants" have placed these once fantastic services in. And all the time we are forced to pay disproportionate tax on everything due to the fact that the blue collar twats are about as much use as a pogo-stick in a swamp. Whilst a part of me dies each time I hear the phrase "free market", another part of me says 'Fuck 'em: if the Post Office can't manage to do a good job with a near monopoly of mail in this country, then they deserve some healthy competition".

And don't even get me started on the military.

I was told by an ex the other day (when I told her I didn't ever desire to have children) pretty much this. She said the good people like me are precisely the ones that should be having kids (I think she had me confused with someone else

)

As awful as it sounds, I was reading about Eugenics the other day and found myself thinking: "Well, that doesn't sound like a bad idea".

buzzmong · Post by **buzzmong** » May 13th, 2008, 23:05

Oddly enough, Hitler at the abstract core DID have the right idea:

Wipe out those that are inferior and preserve and promote those that deserve to continue. Hell, it's just a modern take on natural selection, seeing as with our current technological level, natural selection just doesn't happen in any of the 1st or 2nd world countries.

I'm not condoning the way he went about it, or his choices (believing the Aryan race was teh winzor!!11! and thinkings those of Jewish decent were scum), but the core idea is sound.

I understand your point but who gets to decide who survives? It's a dangerous path. Anyhoo, it's been done ad infinitum in fiction so I'll not risk derailing the rants

Easy peasy that one, there's two options:

1) The people who instigate it

2) The core idea: the people who are the most intelligent, althletic etc... the gifted ones.

You're quite right, it's a dangerous path akin to mass genocide.

I think you are confusing eugenics with mass-murder. You don't have to kill the bad ones, you just only breed the good ones.

Exactly.

... can't .... resist ...

1. So might makes right? If it were employed from tomorrow, we'd have Bush/Brown deciding who survives. No ta.

2. The most intelligent people don't, and could never, have the power to do so. There will always be people pulling strings.

As appealing as it sounds (in theory) I very much doubt it could ever work.

No. I'm not suggesting the wholesale slaughter of the unworthy, but as a social model, it's going to be hard to persuade the chavs that their not being allowed to breed is that distinct from genocide.

At the end of the day, someone will have to say: "Yes, you live" or "No, you die". Who would you trust to do that? If humans are going to shit (through our own design), we have only ourselves to blame, mother nature will take care of the rest.

I'm not saying it couldn't work, but fuck living in a world where someone else tells me whether or not I have a right to live.

/edit For clarification: when I say "You get to live", I mean your chav family group in shitty housing estate X, gets to continue to breed
