Rant about WHATEVER you want. Anything on your mind.

Ok, I'll start it off...I hate science fair now because I tried to make my USB charger, but the regulator is so small that the soldering I'm doing might interfere with one another because I have 3 wires connected to one pin and two to another. I tried checking to see if it was the solar panel or my USB device that was faulty, but it wasn't, they worked fine. So now I have to either get connectors or resolder everything and see if it'll work then, and it even might be my female USB socket because it has 4 wires coming from it instead of just + and -, and I'm not sure if they need to be connected to anything...

That actually felt pretty good, lol

I don't need a thread dedicated to ranting...

So what? I got 3 B's my freshman year. I'M NOT STUPID!!! That's much better than your precious little child, my cousin. Maybe you should keep an eye on him and watch him get *****faced every weekend to the point where he wanders over to our house and at times breaks things. Next time he comes here I'll either A. Kick his ass or B. Call the cops. Whose smart now!?

what's the deal with airline food??!

*insert amusing racist rant*

I actually liked airline food. They had Instant Noodle for lunch and ravioli for dinner. But of course, the last time I went on a plane was almost seven years ago.

My airline food has always been nothing more than some processed food in a plastic wrapper, be it a cookie, a croissant, or maybe some Chex Mix.

heh. Wow. I really need this. Disregard all of what I'm about to say...all of my friends signed off and I need a breather.

LIFE SUCKS!!!! I can't believe I put off that paper so long and I actually lied about shadowing a professional. And my parents will kill me if they find out I missed the deadline for that scholarship. Not that I wanted to go there anyway...And I know they don't want me to get another job, but I probably will because we're so tight right now and I know we can use the money and my boyfriend needs to tone it down and let me at least turn twenty before I get frickin married!!!! Of course I love him, but how the heck am I supposed to cope with marriage? when my parents hate him to begin with and they need to stop fighting and I need my meds and I can't sleep and...and...and ARRRGGGGHHH. I have a huge section to read for the Iliad in the morning and I have to do German, and oh shoot, I forgot about that paper again and what am I going to do about the job and it's hurt to breathe since school started but hey, it's not like the doctor wants to do anything about it and I really need to see my shrink more often and what if I can't go to any other college except the one ten minutes away because I refuse to live with my parents they will drive me nuts and I need to get away before things get worse and I think I'm gonna shut up now and try to go to bed.

Ok...

I have been looking forward to the end of this semester since the ending of last year. And more than anything, I've been looking forward to visiting our relatives for Christmas. But now, my parents are saying that it might not happen because my dad was to lazy to get off his ass and go look for a job a few months ago, so now we're in financial trouble. We have gone to celebrate the holidays with our relatives almost every year since I was born, and this will be my last chance to go while I'm in high school. But now my parents are telling me that I won't get to go because they're too lazy?

Screw that. I'm driving up there myself!

Getting offended is a choice, people. Being born a certain way is not a choice, be it as X race or Y sexual orientation, but being oversensitive about it and choosing to get offended is your choice. I didn't offend you - you chose to be offended, annoyed, or angered by what I said, and you had the option of choosing differently. Haven't your parents ever told you that you can choose whether or not to let something get to you? Or you hated a teacher, but you knew it was your responsibility to learn the material? Haven't you anti-FoS hippie liberals heard of sticks and stones?

People need to learn to not get offended as easily, especially white people, who have a tendency to get offended on someone else's behalf. Just choose to disagree, acknowledge that I may be being offensive, but you are losing the battle if you get offended, because getting offended is a choice. I know some self-righteous fool will come along and tell me, "you don't know what its like, theres no way to not get offended when someone makes you feel like less than a human," NO one is making you feel less than a human. A word enters your feeble mind and you let it have the power to make you feel inferior. That's one of the principles Gandhi lived by. No one is forcing you to react a certain way by words. If there is physical force or harm involved, different story.

See, what you softskins have to understand is that A) there is a such thing as moral relativism - just because you manage to get offended by something doesnt mean its wrong in the universal eyes of the law/God/science/higherpower/entityofthisnation. Whatever you believe, America is a grand country because of Freedom of Speech. Go to Iran and have some dude rape you using sand as lubrication in a detainment cell because you spoke out against the government-censored media if you disagree. The fact is, FoS is greater than your feelings, no matter how important you think you are. And if you are offended, then there is only one person to blame - yourself, not me, because I didn't hold a gun to your head and say 'get offended', you said 'I feel like getting offended'.

That's my rant of the day. Seriously people, PC needs to go. Don't deny a man his steak because a baby cant chew it. And if you think that adhering to a moral compass is more important than freedom of speech -> sandy rape and torture in the desert. Thats what happens when you take away peoples rights to cater to another group.
