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.
