I'm so tired of going on Facebook and seeing pictures of stupid 16 years old boys and girls with their "new" babies (as if a baby was some kind of brand new product you buy at a store). I have counted at least 7 children (14 "parents") so far of people I know and these people are about 16 or 17 years old. What pisses me off even more, are the comments left on the baby pictures. The people (and even the "parents") act like they just got a new puppy or kitten! Awww look at him!! ! He's soooooooooooooo cuteeeeee!! !! !! !! !

Yeah, well when this "new-found bundle of joy" begins to be a loving and respecting (heh) teenager and then adult, I'm sure they'll be so appreciative and understanding. "Oh mom I just love eating potato chips for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I also just love our little trailer too! I mean I do kind of wish I could go to school to learn to read like the other kids, but who cares? I understand that you tried and tried and tried to get a job to help me go to school, but it was just too hard taking care of me! It's a shame daddy ran off."

The following quote was pretty much their attitude towards the whole thing:

"Well I found out, to my delight, that I was pregnant. I'd never thought about having children. I'd never even held a baby. I'd never noticed even an iota of maternal instinct. Yet the day I discovered I was pregnant made me feel more real and useful than any other day in my life. I knew immediately that this was what I was on the Earth to do: to be a mother."

Well how f*****g selfless of you! So you decide that you don't want the baby to have any kind of chance at a better life than the one you have (the standard goal that a lot of respectable parents strive for), you just want this baby because of a complete whim that had everything to do with what you wanted and nothing in the way of what you want for your child, which apparently you hadn't even thought about at all.

I have not yet met a teenage dad or mom who had any idea why people actually get jobs, or go to college, or anything; most of them I've met don't even have any interests or plans for the future. Their kids will live in hardship for nothing, all because of their ridiculously incompetent "parents", two people who according to Darwin should not have even lived long enough to actually mate.

I apologize for my harsh tone, I just am completely bewildered by people's behavior sometimes.

It upsets and angers me when I hear stories of elderly and vulnerable people being terrorized by teenage thugs and becoming prisoners in their own homes. I don't understand how those idiots could be so heartless. It doesn't occur to them that their victim could be somebody's friend or relative. They have "friends" (probably not true friends though) and family too, right? Don't they ever stop to think how they would feel if a group of arse-wipe Chav scumbags like themselves were making the lives of their nearest and dearest a misery?

Pathetic gangsta-wannabes. If you were a real gangsta, you'd have a gun - why not use it to shoot yourself and make room on this Earth for decent, worthwhile people? Just a hint, you know, if you ever decided you wanted to do some good.

Sorry for any offence caused.

This is mainly a phenomenon restricted to these boards, but...

I am so sick of people who armchair-diagnose famous people with Asperger's. Just because someone is socially awkward or weird doesn't mean they have it. A lot of people who don't have Asperger's display one or two of the symptoms. Also, you can't diagnose someone who you haven't even met.

Bristol-Myers Squibb can eat me for making Abilify prohibitively expensive. Now I have to start taking God-only-knows-what to replace it. Will the doctor put me on dangerous older-class antipsychotics, addictive stimulants, or zombiefying benzodiazepines? I don't know, but if I experience horrible side-effects, it will be Bristol-Myers Squibb's fault.

The rant thread, by the way, is NOT the place to lecture me about the [high mocking voice] principles of capitalism [/high mocking voice]. Screw your principles; I can't afford my medication.

I am sick of social networking in general, it seems like everyone has forgotten me after school got out.
I am tired of NT's who, when we are in school want to hang out with me, but when summer vacation seems to roll around, just vanish and seem to have other priorities besides hanging out or even texting me.

I think one of my "friends" is racist towards black people. She calls this one black tutor I know "Jay-Z", calls black people in general "chocolates", and most recently referred to a group of black people as "THEM" in a rather nasty tone of voice. Also, this "friend" acts very rude whenever I accidentally bump into her.

I don't want to have anything to do with this racist, hateful b***h anymore.

I know that I complain too much on here, but I really need to let it out somewhere so that I don't end up doing it with real people.
Self-pity is apparently one of the things that make a person unlikeable, but it's really hard to avoid when you have so much negative emotion bottled up inside of you. It's better to let these things out online rather than in real life.
I'm frustrated at the lack of time I have to do the very important things. I put a lot of value into self-improvement and being able to satisfy other people. To be honest, unless I am spending my time studying something that would help me contribute to the betterment of others in the future, I feel like I'm wasting my time. As a result, I'm rather frustrated that I have to go to university, as that promises spending a lot of time on my own, doing self-absorbed things.
I am addicted to social interaction. Now that I've discovered a pathway to getting people to understand me and accept me for who I am (disclosure), I am exploring a realm that was inaccessible to me before. While I do enjoy it, I also take every action of other people very personally. As a result, I blame myself for any such happening. I start thinking, why does this happen? Why is it that I put so much effort into connecting with other people, and then they end up giving me the cold shoulder? I would like to learn ways to compensate for miscommunications. I would like to find a way to sort the people I can trust on being honest and not disappointing me from those whom I cannot trust in telling me the truth about any of their decisions that affect me.
I wish everybody could be completely honest to me, without caring whether what they say will "hurt my feelings" or not. At this point, I can't remember ever feeling offended by a honest comment. But I've always appreciated it when I knew that people were being honest and not just f***ing around with me.

You sometimes intimidate me because you are so matter-of-fact and I don't want to have made you mad and have you screaming at me and insulting me really badly.

I don't remember ever screaming at you and insulting you, or anybody else for that matter. :?
I don't do that to people, because it's wrong.

You've never insulted or yelled at me, thankfully. Just some people can be cruel like that sometimes. Glad you are nice.

I am currently really angry at one WP member (won't say any names) who is a misogynistic bastard.

I suppose this isn't really much of a rant but,

Quote:
Time it's a wheel in constant motion


was written by someone on my Facebook before proceeding to drone on about where all the years have gone. Honestly things like this make me go /facepalm. If you're going to try to butter up your ideas/sayings with metaphors or similes to make yourself look cool and interesting (although I can think of quite a few situations where a good metaphor/simile can actually enhance and drive the point home), at least use a metaphor/simile that makes sense. A wheel is a circular device; time is one-dimensional, a linear measure. It doesn't make a revolution and then end up where it started.

I hate my mother's stupid, glitchy computer. Please finish replacing my laptop's keyboard soon, HP nerds.
