I'll get on it, sorry.

My current piss off is at those fucking adverts on Facebook:

MYA.

Make. Yourself. Amazing.

Cosmetic Surgery.

Fuck off. Not only do I not need it: I don't think anyone who wants it actually needs it.

01:57 / 12.12.07

I DON'T HAVE WORDS STRONG ENOUGH.

07:05 / 12.12.07

MYA.

Make. Yourself. Amazing.

Cosmetic Surgery.

Actually, they run those on hotmail as well which are just as rage making. The breast enhancement one saying how much her partner loves her new breasts is really bad.

Starving endangered species! What the fuck! If they can't afford them they should sell them to other facilities.

11:52 / 12.12.07

Thanks AAR. Though I realise that now it's on the previous page, so it's perhaps a bit moot. Oh, well, I'm sure there'll be a few peoplelooking at that page.

On cosmetic surgery, I think I could make a case for having "needed" it, though I'm not sure if that counts. That said, I do get fairly U!F! about the occasional email advertisements I receive giving special offers on cosmetic surgery. Surely that should be illegal? I mean, get two procedures done before the end of February and receive £500 off? Wtf?

14:50 / 12.12.07

Oh dear gawds, that is the so enraging, Liger. I have no words to express it either. Those poor creatures! How effin pathetic are humans that we let this shit go on? Gah!

More pathetic shit that is pissing me off, is Canada sending "mixed signals" at the Bali conference.

from the link above:
"Canada faced more criticism from the international community yesterday. Mr. Dimas (the European Union Environment Commissioner) said he is getting "mixed signals" from Canada, and he questioned whether Canada is respecting its pledges under the Kyoto agreement, which comes into force next month.

"They say (meaning Canada), 'Yes, we're going to respect our Kyoto obligations and commitments, but not now, but in 2020,' " Mr. Dimas said." - Globe and Mail

Fuck you both, Harper and Laird. You see, 20% emissions cut is not good enough! Planning to comply in 2020, is just not good enough! The fucking DAMAGE WILL BE DONE BY THEN you bloody fucking morons!

GAH! I just don't know how to respond to such stupidity.

Here is a petition to sign since there is no information stapler to staple information into our politicians' heads. BTW, you don;t have to be Canadian to sign it. Please feel free to tell off our current government no matter where you are from. It's your planet too.

Sometimes I wonder if the Buddha was simply bald from pulling out his hair in frustration with humanity.

21:32 / 12.12.07

Starving endangered species! What the fuck! If they can't afford them they should sell them to other facilities.

Or better yet, find a safe place in the wild where they can be released. Easier said than done, I know.

23:32 / 12.12.07

The Southern Baptist Convention calls wives to graciously submit to their husbands' sacrificial leadership. The news item is bad enough... the blog comments chapped my ass right off.

15:44 / 14.12.07

Hello Barbelith. I'm very, very angry. *Very* angry.

I just wanted to say that. It's one of those angries where, if you start getting into it in depth, your brain's going to explode through the build-up of pressure. So, no rant. I just wanted to use the space to point that out, as a way of at least loosening the valve.

I will say this much, though: anybody thinking of ever working for a community service area of a local council, don't. They're completely fucking ineffective, populated by senior managers who are so scared of their own shadows that they'll allow valuable services to be torn apart from inside, rather than attempt to tackle serious occurences of prolonged intimidation and *gulp* bullying. I'm sick to the back teeth of seeing people I like and respect being treated like shit, and there being nothing I can do to help stop it from happening.

It's like the exact opposite of my experiences in private industry, which were also shit, but because senior management were a bunch of thoughtless, vile bastards.

18:15 / 14.12.07

"Same reason a player submits to his coach, as soldier submits to his commander, and an electorate submits to the person they’ve elected. Try having anything besides anarchy without it."

You're killing me! You're killing meeeeee!

I can't help picturing slightly sticky stacks of John Norman books under these Southern Baptist fuckwads' beds.

09:47 / 16.12.07

EVERY FUCKING TIME that bloody Google toolbar updates it kills ALL MY FUCKING BOOKMARKS!!!

Somebody please tell me how to put an end to this complete and utter shit.

09:50 / 16.12.07

The only remedy I can think of right now, would be to get rid off the toolbar. I just read the wiki entry to find out what it´s needed for, and from what I´ve gathered, it can´t be worth this bother.

09:57 / 16.12.07

Or just don't let it update. I have mine set so it has to ask to update and when it asks I DENY it! Which feels powerful and in-charge.

10:00 / 16.12.07

You're quite right, I don't really need it. I like the search function, but it just isn't worth this much bother.

13:46 / 16.12.07

I'm in the office during a blizzard and I get these links in my email. I'm really wishing I could go yell about this with people. It sums up my rage at what a fuck heap of injustice my country has become (become? increased to perhaps...)

Is there a 'Lith thread I can't find in Switchboard?

news article

Move On's petition

Jamie Leigh Jones was working in Iraq for a subsidiary of Halliburton when she was drugged and brutally gang-raped by several coworkers.

For the last two years, she's been asking the US government to hold the perpetrators accountable, but the men who raped her may never be brought to justice because Halliburton and other contractors in Iraq aren't subject to US or Iraqi laws.

Victim's Rep. website

It's moments like this when I want to join the mecha militia anti rape squad and put on a big battlebot suit and smash corporate buildings to extract the slime they are protecting and haul their evil asses into court. But then there is no court is there?

15:21 / 16.12.07

That warrants about a thousand gagillion million times more hate and anger than my complaint.

18:11 / 17.12.07

Not only did you hit my dog, you fucking fuck, but according to the surgeon who just operated on him you must have actually driven over him.

Did you not notice that?

18:45 / 17.12.07

XK, that's just unclassifiable wrongness. How can a group of people / private contractors not be subject to US or Iraqi law? How can they not be accountable?

Olulabelle, I wish your canine companion well, and hope for good healing. I'd also support you if you wanted to develop a secret identity as a super-hero who finds those who don't deserve to drive and secretly steals their car keys, every night.

19:14 / 17.12.07

I do actually. I keep plotting how I can track them down. Unfortunately I am FAIL in my superhero plans because I can't work it out at all.

How is your doggie doing, Lula?

(PS: this is why we have MAGICS.)

20:10 / 17.12.07

I feel like I'm littering the internets with doggie updates...

He has had his operation which is where they found out he'd been actually run over: because so squished inside. So he's much more poorly than they thought but he got through surgery and hopefully now will carry on with the getting through things.

The Magics seems to be helping already with the thoughts everyone's sending from everywhere; I think he really wouldn't have been alive if it weren't for so much doggie wellwishing.

They say dogs can hear thoughts. I think he is certainly hearing.

Essential Dazzler

23:29 / 17.12.07

Good Luck, Lula's Dog!

Tangentially related to above angers:

I really, really hate bad drivers.

I love driving. Really, really love it, which is handy given the huge amounts I end up having to do all over the country. But I cannot be on the road more than 15 minutes without wanting to ban driving forever.

Today's major annoyance is tailgating.

It makes me feel like this. THIS!

Now, until 6 months ago I was a fairly unsafe driver, with little regard for speed-limits, which I know is fairly awful, but I was never, never, ever, an agressive driver. Too timid to overtake anyone unless I was 300% certain it was safe, I've spent a good many hours contentedly trundling along behind law abiding citizens at a safe distance until they inevitably diverge from my path and I sped of elsewhere.

Earlier today I was bimbling down the M1, I noticed I'd drifted over 75mph and was too terrified by people literally inches away from my big metal behind to slow down. This happened THREE TIMES.

I know it's wrong to gesticulate rudely at drivers like that, as it's stupid to even think about distracting them, but I can't help myself.

ANECDOTE FROM THE PAST:
Traveling back home from my first year of Uni, I was happily overtaking a group of 4 cars at 90 mph on the motorway. Before I could properly pass the second vehicle a car shot up behind me and started flashing it's headlights! When I finally passed the final car I indicated and swept majestically into the middle lane. As the flashy-lighty car drove past me the driver actually turned her head over 90 degrees to look right through my windsheild and hurl obscenities at me.

Essential Dazzler

23:31 / 17.12.07

(A few weeks ago I had to pull over because I was 80% sure I hadn't hit a cat. that 20% was enough. I cannot begin to imagine knowing I've hit something and not stopping.)

Our Lady Has Left the Building

11:01 / 18.12.07

Radio One won't be playing 'Fairytale of New York' by the Pogues this Christmas. That's not the annoying thing, because it's one of those songs that has suffered from over-usage this time of year. However, they aren't playing it because Kirsty McColl calls Shane 'a faggot'. It's being championed by Chris Moyles who, as we know, sees nothing wrong with homophobic abuse.

Essential Dazzler

11:04 / 18.12.07

They are playing it!

I heard it three times yesterday, they just blank out the offending term.

But yes, Chris Moyles is undeniably a horrible stain.

11:18 / 18.12.07

Sharing your driverhate, Pacific. Got up today and my knee doesn't work properly. It looks I'm not gonna be able to get back on my bike for another week or two, which pisses me off because I hate taking the bus places.

I'm pissed off that I didn't take the fucker's license number down. Pissed off that she didn't actually bother to get out of her car. Pissed of at the fact that I keep getting flashes of what could have happened if there had been a car behind me.

And my knee hurts.

Fuckem. Fucking shit drivers. I swear people should have to retake their driving test every year.

Regrettable Juvenilia

11:29 / 18.12.07

I don't see why the edits on 'Fairytale of New York' are annoying you, Our Lady (although maybe it was only the mistaken belief that it was being banned altogether that annoyed?). I can't see any reason why that song should be played in full while edits are applied to potentially offensive language in any number of modern pop songs...

All Acting Regiment

11:52 / 18.12.07

Yeah - a LOT of hip hop stuff gets heavily edited to the point of ridiculousness. Not sure that I agree with that, but the Moylesian self-righteous, sanctimonious bullshit reaction is a load of toss as well.

Essential Dazzler

11:57 / 18.12.07

I thought Our Lady was angry at Chris Moyles, not the editing/banning?

Regrettable Juvenilia

11:58 / 18.12.07

Whilst I'm a big fan of hating Chris Moyles on principle, I'm also a big fan of clarity - what exactly is he championning in this instance? Link?

12:16 / 18.12.07

It appears Moyles is 'campaigning' against the censorship of the lyric.

Radio One DJ Chris Moyles, who is leading a campaign to help the song reach top spot in the charts is amongst a number of DJ's furious at the 'ridiculous ban'.

Says the Daily Mail in an article which wonderfully ends with the phrase "It's political correctness gone mad."

Our Lady Has Left the Building

12:22 / 18.12.07

Yes, I'm more angry that the BBC want to save my fragile little ears from this song while continuing to employ Moyles than at the supposed offensiveness of this song. The whole 'it's political correctness gone mad' nature of most of the comments on the BBC 'Speak Your Brains' thing connected to the linked report is also quite depressing, as people work out how to say 'fucking faggots' without actually typing the words.

Regrettable Juvenilia

12:23 / 18.12.07

Thanks petunia. Christ, I hadn't realised basic literacy was also something the Mail was against:

Censors have also decided the word 'slut' - but have deemed the word 'arse' okay to air.

12:34 / 18.12.07

Not only did you hit my dog, you fucking fuck, but according to the surgeon who just operated on him you must have actually driven over him.

Did you not notice that?

this makes me feel like puking because the mindset of denial terror apathy cluelessness whatever it could be to allow for such an act makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

However a happy thought (pardon the pollution of the misery thread) is my old kitty cat was hit by a car, found by people walking down the road the next day because my crazy mother had just walked by with her head set on talking to herself. At the sound of her voice the ol' kitty (who was young at the time) started meowing and the couple found her in the grass read our phone number off her collar and called my house where my awesome sister took the call and launched into action. The kitty went to the vet, had surgery but was not expected to make it.
I was at summer driving school at the time being a wee 16 and rushed to the vet with the thought of having to say goodbye. However the kitty busted out purringwhen she saw me and I was like 'no fucking way are you putting her down'.
My sister, mom. and I nursed her for 3 months until she got the use of her legs and self expressing her bowels/bladder. Cat/dog nerves regenerate way better than people nerves. She was with me until I was 30 living a pretty active life with only minor nerve and hip damage. I didn't learn how to drive a car until I was 24 I was so pissed off at fuck head drivers. So I'm a huge advocate of nursing animals if you can and they are not suffering too greatly. Love can heal the most terrible wounds (with some help from modern medicine).
