Pet Peeves!

I'll take that as a sign to stop posting on here to procrastinate work on a paper comparing The Matrix and Plato's Allegory of the Cave.

My first thought was "Whaaaaaaaaat?" But now that I'm mentally reviewing "Allegory", you've actually got a really simple paper there. lol It's really all about how what you can experience for yourself defines YOUR reality versus what others who experience more define your reality as. I think it just about adds up point by point, but I can't be sure, because I haven't seen the first Matrix movie in ages.

I hate Kurt_. Not really, but get a damn blog, most of your posts are hippee crap. And even if we destroy it, the earth can fix itself.

No offense intended.

But kurt has a lot of good points.

I hate people who know all that useless old philosopy crap and dont know anything about modern entertainment and stuff so when your talking about a move she has no idea what your saying.

I hate Americans (and I am one, so it's okay) for coming to some already-populated continent (North America) and kicking out all the "Indians". Who did they think they were? I mean, I'm glad America's a free country, but why did they think it was okay of them to make all the natives move to one state so our fat and lazy butts could ruin this perfectly good piece of land?

They should never have messed with America.

Hey, we were white. Read Kurt_'s post Have any of you guys ever been to a reservation? All of the Indians sit up there and take our money and shoot deer. That's all they do. Ever. They are really bitter, especially the old ones. There's no turning back what our ancestors did to them. In a sense I too hate americans.

Duh, we let them run casinos, so its all good.

Actually, where I live whites are the poor minority, because of the casino. Every tribe member gets an allowance monthly from it and are exempt from sales tax and get completely free rides through college. Up here they're the ones using us.

And Taiben, STFU.

EDIT: I can't spell when I'm drunk. lol

If y'all haven't noticed, I am a hippie.

Hell, I don't even let people at stores bag stuff I'm just gong to throw in my backpack. Less work for them, more points for the environment.

I'm also a hippie-crit. *Badum chh*. I like to preach, but sometimes, I don't walk the talk. Still, I find awareness of a problem is the first step to a solution.

No way I really can't believe that. Unless your off rez...?

I hate it when people think we'll destroy the earth by driving big SUVs and all that jazz. The earth doesn't care about us, we could nuke the whole world, and in a few million years, it would be like it never even happened. Unless a particle accelerator creates a black hole stable enough to consume the earth, the earth will be perfectly fine. Humanity and the environment, on the other hand, those can get fubar'd. So remember, we can't hurt the earth, only those who inhabit it.

Umm, I'm not NA. 100% Eurasian mutt. But even the Natives living on the Rez are rolling in it.

Not talking about you, but your location. That is the only place where a native could possibly make a living, and do better than a white person. (I'm not racist)

I HATE how much advertising they cram into print magazines now. For example, I just got the May '09 issue of PC World in the mail today. Including the front and back covers, it's a scant 104 pages long. Of those pages, 35 are nothing but full-page ads. (I counted the ads inside the covers and half-page ads on opposing pages as 'full page ads'.) That's about 33% of the magazine.

Yes. 1/3 of a magazine is advertising, in an already short magazine. And this year they bumped up the subscription rate by $5. Pay more for more ads!

Network World is at least 50% ads, but they don't charge for it so I'll let that one slide.
