My Rant on Man

First off, my apologies to the angry lady ranting about men nearby. I'm not trying to steal her thunder or anything. It's just that some of the things I saw there kind of ticked me off. No, I don't really feel this warrants a direct reply, as it's more of ire and bile at the world specifically instead of at anyone in general. With that out of the way:

Dear world: Get over yourself.

I am truly tired of blind, self-important zealots. Your cause/group/lifestyle choice is not morally superior. You are not better than I am because you are Christian/Muslim/Atheist/Agnostic/anAlpacaFarmer/Homosexual/well-adjusted and I am not. In fact, all you do when you tell me that I am going to hell, not going to Hell because there is no God or whatever, is piss me off.

I don't care if you're saving the cute fuzzie wuzzums being tormented by mad scientists armed with eyeliner. I don't care if you're a vegetarian; in fact, more animals die during plant harvests every year than are slaughtered for consumption, and in far more brutal manners as they're torn to bits by mechanical scythes, crushed by gears and turned into goo by the same machine that processes your tofu. Keep up the good work.

If you think that a given group is full of nothing but whatever insult you choose to fling at them, please take a careful look at the people you surround yourself with. If you are associated with KentuckyFriedCruelty.com, are being shot at by Japanese whaling vessels, are engaging in holy wars, and generally either doing your best or helping someone else do their best to be a nuisance to the rest of the world, chances are there's an asshole in your self-righteous clique.

There are assholes, dickheads, bitches, rednecks and the willfully ignorant in any given group you care to name. Please realise that no group, ethnicity, organization, or nationality has a monopoly on people who are stupid and proud of it. In fact, all you're doing when you say "All men are pigs" is making it worse.

For fuck's sake, this species needs some perspective. Take a moment and see it from someone else's POV.

All the most annoying people I know are humans.

I know you weren't looking for a reply...but I laughed when I read that line

Myself and my cohort of Gay Indonesian Vegetarian Equality for Alpaca Farmers Unity Coalition of Kentucky (G.I.V.E.A.F.U.C.K.) have put you on our list of intolerant people.

We will gain perspective when the Alpacas run free across their rightfully held homeland in Palestine, and not before.

Vote Alpaca!

The truly funy thing about this guys' rant is that he's ranting because he just read someone else's rant that ticked him off. In this thread that ticked him off, the person that started the thread mentions, later on, something about how she was looking for intelligent conversation, but sometimes looses her temper. So basically, what this guy is ranting about, is people ranting in anger. But at the begining of his rant, he states that this, in fact, is a rant made after reading the other one and being ticked off at some things he read, thereby making this, in fact, a rant made in anger. Does anybody else see where I'm going with this?

My patience is exhausted with people ranting about rants! This is why babies get tumors; I'm so sick of it, tomorrow I'm going to drink a bottle of tobasco and eat a tray of undercooked brownies, and I'm going to crap the result into a balloon, tie it off with a strand of Al Pacino's hair, and throw it at the world. You goddamn people.

Mmm... tofu.

*remembers the point he was trying to make*

Anyhoo; Let us not forget all the raids on mink farms and testing labs. These "liberating" actions generally amount to more animal deathtolls than your average Exxon oil-spill.
Just saying...

Ah this rung a bell! A friend of mine told me that he and his friends encountered the folks at PETA during a trip to KFC. He went inside and bought a bucket of chicken along with the popcorn chicken. He and his friends sat on the hood of his car eating the chicken five feet away from him. They started shouting all their hoohah about the crime of Colonel Sanders, so they began throwing pieces of popcorn chicken at them, along with the bones from their bucket of chicken. He told me that one of his friends threw a piece that landed in the mouth of one of the protesters, and she started crying and left.

I don't know if it's true, but the mental picture sure makes it funny.
