I cant stand telephones. No matter what, the telephone will ring for one stupid reason or another. Damn telemarketers, damned folks that wanna tell you something that could have been told in person. And damned be the people that just wanna use your limited as hell phone line to catch up on things that you just don't feel like talking about in person.

Galad Damodred So you're saying that coming onto Gaia and going "Blah blah blah, I hate x because of y" is more likely to have negative consequences than going up to x and saying "I hate you because of y". Not exactly. What I am saying is that morally, the better thing to do would be to express your distaste of X directly to X. For example, say X knows person A, and person A sees your hate posts about X. Would it not be better for you to just tell person X why you dislike them, rather than them hear it from person A? Also, what if person X sees your posts? In addition, overall, just telling someone the truth of what you think about them is a much more honest thing to do. A good friend will tell you what is wrong with you; they may not seem such a good friend after telling. Arkham Shadowfox You did get the south park joke right? As for the other thing, Wouldn't posting in a hate thread be the same as promoting the hate? To better express your hate it would sorta make more sense not posting in the thread at all. [no disrespect, just making a point] Have you not read my posts to Galad? It is better to say to express the hate directly to the source. I should have banned you anyway for posting this thread of absolute nonsense. We do have laws here against being a tool, ya know. (And no, I didn't get the south park joke. I don't watch south park. And obviously you didn't get the sarcastic irony in my original post.)

Now for the posts to Galad, I think that venting on the internet about subject x is perfectly fine if the subject in question is not about a person but about an object or collective set of beings that would most likely see text on the internet about them as less than trivial. [ie, toy's, animals, tech devices, television, various inanimate caricatures, certain federations or organizations not based in religious background, and various low-profile political figures, etc.]
The best reason I have about doing stuff like this is the fact that if someone had expressed their rage at someone in person, it would most likely incite a somewhat violent reaction be it verbal or non-verbal. If subject X was actually someone's boss or supervisor, the direct venting would most likely result in expulsion regardless of calmed demeanor. People aren't as calm and civilized select few want to believe- venting even to a colleague can result in a violent conversation that could devolve into a physical fight based on individual attitudes or variant settings.
I'd do a tl;dr version of my explanation, but that would take up even more of my time.
(And no, I didn't get the sarcastic irony in your original post. Its hard for me to read sarcasm over the internet- which should make it completely obvious that I have a mental disability that i constantly use as an excuse to get by in society so that i can gain a paycheck despite my lack of a masters degree in fighting with people over the internet about stupid subjects such as hate threads)

I hate people who don't understand the difference between discipline and abuse, and come screaming to into your face about how they're going to report you to child welfare for giving your child a very well-deserved spanking.
My daughter will be 4 on Dec. 20th, and on the way home from shopping a few days ago, she unbuckled the chest harness on her carseat so she could turn around better and see something behind us, as luck would have it, right as the idiot in front of us decided to change lanes, then change back again, and immediately take a right turn, all in about 15 seconds, which resulted in me slamming on my brakes to barely avoid a wreck.
I pulled in to the nearest business (a grocery store), parked the car, and pulled her out of the backseat, and gave her a good five or six swats on the back of her thigh, the entire time, my heart is about to pound out of my chest, and I'm barely restraining myself from screaming as I'm telling her to never, ever unbuckle her seat again, that she could have died.
In the meantime, no less than two police cars have passed, without so much as slowing down, as I'm not breaking any kind of law.
So, this complete stranger (fat cow with halitosis and four kids shoving, cursing, kicking etc at each other following behind her) storms across the parking lot and gets in my face about how she's calling the cops & is reporting me to child welfare for abuse, etc, etc.
The entire time she's trying to verbally b***h-slap me, three of her kids are running back and forth across the parking lot, while the other is taunting the pitbull in the car in the next spot over.
The lady letting her kids play in the middle of a crowded parking lot and taunt a dog that seriously wanted to eat their face off is telling me how to discipline my child?! W.T.F
I didn't even bother arguing, just rolled my eyes, put my daughter back in her carseat, and told her to get her litter out of the lane before someone turned them into speed bumps. She got all huffy and stomped away; to call child welfare, no doubt. So far, not so much as a peep. I'm not in the least bit worried.
Seriously--people being afraid to spank their kids is part of what's wrong with society today. There is a huge difference between spanking and abuse, spankings don't leave bruises. You're lucky if you leave a little red mark that doesn't fade after 30 seconds.
Discipline isn't complicated. My rules are simple. I never use anything but the palm of my hand, I never hit above the waist or below the knee, and if at all possible, I don't hit in anger-I go cool down first. Obvious exceptions are in dangerous situations like her unbuckling her carseat, or the time she ran toward the road (the speed limit here is 45 mph--she got drop-kicked in the back of the knee because my arms weren't long enough to reach her before she got to the street).
*frustrated scream* Seriously, why the hell do people who obviously have screwed up their own kids think they're some kind of experts, and that a simple spanking (that everyone here over 25 has probably had at least once and survived without it being a lifelong trauma) is cause to start screaming about abuse?

However, I do not yet have my masters degree in fighting with people over the internet. And I wasn't fighting in the first place, I was playing Devil's Advocate biggrin . Way to be gullible.

Eh, it takes real effort to make me hate something. Bugs don't bug me except for bees. But I REALLY hate taxes. They're too ******** high.
I also hate idiots who claim everything white people do is racist, but I digress.

As for getting back on topic, I seriously can't stand math. Normal arithmetic, and long division is fine with me but anything higher just makes me crazy. Just the other day, I had been trying to catch up on a college class of mine and found that the problems I was doing was tearing my head apart. the worst happened when I took a break- It just made my head feel like it was about to explode.
I don't even understand what this class has to do with my major- what I'm i really going to use math for other than to calculate years? If you're studying for an English major, what good is math for?

No way, so am I! *high five* Btw, knowing math can come in handy when writing certain genres of stories. Just look at the science fiction stories of J.G. Ballard.

You are so right. My mother works at a public library, and you wouldn't believe the horror stories she tells me about stupid young parents coming in and letting their little kids run wild all over the library. Most parents today don't even know how to say "NO," let alone give their kids a well-deserved smack. It's disgusting. I really hope the world ends before this new generation of spoiled, overindulged little yuppie larvae inherits it.

Hahaha, I kinda wish my parents smacked me. It'd be easier to put up with than my mother's blistering sarcasm and my father's truly horrendous attempts at being understanding. My father and I don't get along at the best of times, but when he's actually trying to be fatherly... *shudders*

Oh I have a list just for this.
The Public School System in Tennessee.
The Public Library of Claiborne County.
My Geometry Teacher of my last highschool, b***h didn't know how to teach...an yes...I asked for help, lots of times!
Ignorant people.
My Generation, Generation Echo...I wish I was part of X, my boyfriend is so lucky! >.<''
Being poor.
Not having a job...not for lack of trying, no one wants to deal with a 17 year old.
The people who live above me, they never sit down and all I hear until midnight is this...::Thump, thump, thump, thump:....b***h SIT DOWN!!! Its like she's got ******** lead in her feet.
The car, every time something gets fixed on it, something else breaks!
TENNESSEE, enough said.
Racist People.
People who don't mind their business.
High school teens...so immature, the majority of them.
A lot more, and I could have gone off in long paragraphs about each one and more, but I figured people would look that over.
