Urgh! Fuck!: A thread for untamed hate and anger [PICS]

Yay, booze! Yeah, I didn't think you were flipping out or anything, Jake. And, like you say, you could get a lot more out of the PC copy if you decide to spring for it. Viva new virtual growth!

Jake, Colossus of Clout

00:53 / 02.02.07

That's what I'm talking about! Digital evolution, d00dz!

I guess I'm in too good of a mood for this thread, now...

I fucking love booze. And technology.

02:40 / 02.02.07

Unknown Supergirl awaaaaay!

02:56 / 02.02.07

Stop trying to be funny! You're not funny. Just shut the hell up and tell me the weather!

MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!

12:43 / 02.02.07

This fills me with the wrath.

Not just the gall of "buying science," but the sheer reckless disregard of it -- essentially trying to bribe people into distorting facts to support planet-destroying activities, with no respect for, well, science.

I can accept that there are smart people out there who, for whatever reason, believe that global warming is not human-related. But this offer from Exxon is ... well, it just seems sick.

12:47 / 02.02.07

I will give you 10 canadollars to stop saying that.

MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!

12:59 / 02.02.07

Or give a linguist CAD$10 to prove that what I meant was "Exxon is super awesome."

16:47 / 02.02.07

Thing is, the current debate climate is polarised, and a rhetoric of impending crisis has little utility in actually solving some of these important problems for humankind.

16:48 / 02.02.07

ExxonMobil told me to say that.

Would everyone just SHUT UP about Tyra bloody Banks? Ta.

00:19 / 03.02.07

If it's any consolation, MC, I don't think I've ever mentioned Tyra Banks in my life. In fact, it's only down to you that I've even typed the name now. (Sorry. Not meaning to lay a guilt trip on you).

00:20 / 03.02.07

Bad M Carnival. Making Stoatie say the bad supermodel.

00:55 / 03.02.07

See what you've done? Now I've got to experience the guilty pleasure of doing something I've never done, also. Thus I type-
Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks
Now, say it three times into a mirror at midnight and see what happens...

09:27 / 03.02.07

In the news today, this;
World leaders were under mounting pressure last night to take radical steps to cut fossil fuel emissions after a panel of UN scientists delivered the most conclusive evidence to date that mankind is responsible for accelerating global warming.
...plus this;
Bush administration rejects demands for caps on greenhouse gasses
...equals RAGE! Because 'MANKIND RESPONSIBLE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE' is not news, and 'instead, the administration said President Bush would rely on his plans to develop more renewable fuel and require more efficient vehicles.' OH YEAH? WHEN'S THAT HAPPENING THEN?! YOU LYING SHORT SIGHTED FUCKER!

Dr Chin says it is only in sub-Saharan Africa, where unprotected sex outside marriage is common, that the risk of heterosexual HIV transmission is high.

In other parts of the world, he says HIV is seen only in men who have sex with other men, intravenous drug users and female sex workers.

KILL.

Sorry. I 'splain.

Tyra Banks: and tonight on my dismal, brainless, sensationalistic ham-fisted abortion of a Jerry Springer wannabe show, I'll be conducting a dismal, brainless, senstionalistic hamisted abortion of an examination of witchcraft and paganism. With me tonight are the usual starey-eyed delusional ego-trippers, some guy in eyeliner and a couple of people trying to plug their books.

Internet pagans: Weaaaaugh! We're being misrepresented! Weaaaaugh! They got on a bunch of ninnies and made us look stupid! Weeeeaaaauughhh! It's not faaaaaaaiiiir! We're going to boycot the advertisers/picket the studio/curse Tyra with warts/cry! (x-posted to all comms, e-lists, etc for the next fortnight.)

Also in the news, these two items right next to each other;

Bush Warns That Medicare, Social Security Need Change to Avert Financial Trouble
"Controlling spending requires the government to address the unsustainable growth of entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, Bush said in his weekly radio address. He said spending for the programs is growing faster than inflation, faster than the U.S. economy and faster than taxpayers' ability to pay for them."

...and right below check this out;

Record $622 Billion Budget Requested for the Pentagon
"The Bush administration is seeking a record military budget of $622 billion for the 2008 fiscal year, Pentagon officials have said. The sum includes more than $140 billion for war-related costs."

I know it's not my country and everything, but FFS- taking money from the poor to bomb foreign countries seems like a bad policy to me.

Why do you hate freedom, Quantum?

15:00 / 03.02.07

Fredom isn't free.

12:10 / 05.02.07

Alright, so I'm one of those people who tends to float around with the vague impression that most of the disagreements that one finds oneself in are the result of pure misunderstanding, and that if one does ones best to understand the other bloke then chances are that one will discover everybody was working with the best intentions after all.

After two days of travelling I don't expect two guys to just step into the cue in front of me, especially the fucking cue that I've been standing in for half an hour. And when I do the terribly unEnglish thing of pointing out to the fuckers that the weren't in the cue and that the back is about twenty minutes away, I don't want to be answered with "Whatever."

It still actually shocks me when somebody acts like such a cock intentionally, you know? I just don't know how to react in that kind of situation. Its hardly like I'm going to start a fight in the ticket office and nobody else looked like they were going to be saying anything.

Well, goddamn, I got my train. And some thoughtfull fellow had left his newspaper behind. Well, thoughtfull for a Sun reader. Still, a paper can make a journey go quicker.

Here are some remembered quotes from Jeremy Clarksons page:

"I've just heard about an organisation call Women Against Rape. What kind of a stupid name is that? I don't know any women for rape."

"If a few innocent asylum seekers getting deported along with the rest is the price to pay to stop any more little girls getting arrested then I'm willing to pay that price."

WHAT THE FUCK

Where can all this rage go but the rage thread?

12:15 / 05.02.07

It's like the Clarksons of this world have their empathy switched to off.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

12:16 / 05.02.07

Just do what I do. Whenever you read Clarkson, console yourself with the fact that it's proof your hatred of him isn't in the slightest illogical.

12:42 / 05.02.07

I really didn't mean to be late to work today. I've been late with either doctor's appointments, or my back injury for the past week. Today, I'm healthy. And what happens? A fucking flat tire.

This wouldn't be so bad, but here's the rub. My father told me to buy winter tires for my new 2007 car. Okay. So he buys them off ebay. For 300 Canadian. Okay... well, they'd better be good, is what I'm thinking.

But no, the tires fucking suck. I can't stop in them, I can't accelerate in them and I can't fucking turn with them. What is the goddamn point?

And because they're shitty USED winter tires, I now have a flat. If I had saved my money, kept my regular tires and plugged in my car (like I always do), I could be at work RIGHT NOW.

I can't contact CAA (the auto helpers in Canada), because their line is busy. I can't contact my supervisor at work because today is his one day off!

GAH!

So I'm going to be here, on Barbelith until CAA calls me and tells me that they're on their way. So, fuck you, shitty winter tires!

12:48 / 05.02.07

When it comes to Clarkson, I always try to remember his bloodcurdling performance on 'What Not To Wear' with Trinny and Susannah a couple of years ago. It was fairly heartbreaking stuff. Underneath all the petrolhead bluster and ill-advised rock tour bomber jackets, there is a very lonely, and unhappy, small boy, who desperately craves attention, and doesn't much care what he has to do to get it.

I'm actually feeling a bit weepy now, just thinking about it.

13:41 / 05.02.07

Interesting you should say that, Mrs Grandma. I didn't see the show in question, but I've always had the feeling, possibly based on seeing his Real Life TM uncovered on some TV show some time or other, that Clarky is exactly that: a childish, lonely, needy man. In fact I've always rather suspected that he lives with his mum. The kind of shit he talks is exactly the kind of thing you hear from bands of similarly needy, socially unskilled, lonely men on the Brighton to London commuter line.

In a weird way I have some sympathy Clarksons of this world.

14:15 / 05.02.07

No you don't. He was once described by Tony Parsons in the Daily Mirror as a "dazzling hero of political incorrectness".

14:21 / 05.02.07

No, no, I do. I still dislike him intensely, though.

14:34 / 05.02.07

He'd be pissed off at matt's tires too, tho.

15:06 / 05.02.07

It's like, two hours later and I'm stuck at home. I'm considering calling a taxi, but that would really expensive and I have no cash. Fuck. Still, I watched Reservoir Dogs, forgetting how sharp the dialogue is. So, that's that.

Funnily enough, a particularly misanthropic friend of mine said the same thing. He assured me that if I watched it, I'd pity the foo' instead of hating him. I bet him a tenner my hatred would remain intact.

He still hasn't ponied up the video, so thus far I win by default.

16:14 / 05.02.07

I'm fucking fed up with the way my brain decides to fuck me over just when my life seems to be going OK. I'm fed up with being unable to cope with the basics that it takes to get through the day. I hate the way everything I do to try and get over this fails. I hate the fact that all I seem to be able to do in this situation is crawl into bed and cry that it's not fair that I screw up my own life. I hate myself for constantly beating myself up over this when I know it's not my fault. The fact that I know this is all so stupid and pathetic, but I just can't stop feeling this way.

I'm angry at my throat, among other things. I think it needs a strep period, or a complete esophogal overhaul. I want it let down. I'm necksick and with the way my processes have been churning for a while, that makes me have a very anxious and frustrating time. Thus, the anger.

13:36 / 06.02.07

Tell you a story about Clarkson. My mate used to work at some kind of race track down south - I forget where - as a minor mechanic and guy-who-sweeps-up.

Clarkson turns up with wife, presumably to look at cars or something, smoking a cigar. Seeing my mate with a mop, he threw down the cigar on to the (just recently cleaned) floor.

"Give you a fiver if you mop that up", he said.

"Piss off", said my mate, and didn't clear it up. Clarkson turned with a leer to his wife, who looked away saying "You're a fucking prick, Jeremy".

All true.

13:40 / 06.02.07

Still sympathetic?
