Rants: Everyday Venting

[Keinai]

I hate living in a small town.


It's not even a town... just a small rural community. Luckily Myrtle Creek is only about 30 minutes away, and they're a lot more urban.


But hipsters keep calling small towns 'quaint' and it's so annoying--I feel like I can't escape here.


There is not much else to do besides go to the neighboring city, or take a hike. There's a library and a museum, but basically if you're my age you have two options--go outside all of the time or be a hermit in front of your screen. I prefer the former.


Shame never dies in a small area, especially a predominantly white Christian one. Full of old people. So if anyone found out I was a furry, agnostic, or identified as asexual... shit.

Had to be on my feet for at least an hour or two today    It wasn't so pleasant when I got home and the blood in my foot had spread.

ISIS. Not as relevant today as when their presence was first made a couple years ago. They post executions online and have continued doing so for the past couple of years. I, for one, think it's pointless to try and kill off as many as we can in a futile attempt to eliminate them. Let it be known I'm not involved with ISIS in any way, I just think this ideal of "If we kill off all their numbers, ISIS will no longer be a problem" is ridiculous, and I'm ultimately losing faith in my country. Yes, our military, as well as that of other countries have put forth a valiant effort to eliminate ISIS, and that CLEARLY stopped them, right? I can at least give them points for trying.

So you would rather let ISIS rampage through the Middle East? That doesn't make any sense to be honest with you. Beside the US isn't doing anything to eliminate ISIS. That's why Russia had to step in. They don't want ISIS to come up any farther north.

[Grovygrunge]

Gonna be honest, as a Brit, I have no idea why the **censor** ISIS is our problem. Is it because America roped us into the middle eastern wars? Is it because we have some sort of ulterior motive for wanting to stop them? Maybe who knows. Is it out of the kindness of our hearts and a want to help our fellow man? Almost absolutely not.


Seriously though, someone explain to me, someone who doesn't keep up with the news, why the hell this is our problem to deal with, please.

[138]

I know what you mean, Grovy. I get tired of people here (US) saying that we have to intervene on every issue, ever. I say just let them kill each other. Let other countries deal with it. I don't know really. I think people just get tired of it to be honest.

[Traum]

I don't know what exactly  is going in the middle east right now, but the fact is USA loves to fight proxy wars

[Dubaku]

Yea, we basically threw OG Washington's final message out the window. If an organization ain't doing much damage to our country, why should it be our problem?

That's very true. That's what people don't understand in the US. We have our own problems to worry about.

[Dubaku]

Yea, let's stop worrying about the war on drugs, just let the stuff flow in. If people are happy and making money, why stop them?

[Traum]

Maybe the government is profiting from it. There are so many theories floating around these issues, it's hard to tell which one is the closest to the truth, but that's definitely not the official one

[138]

Maybe we should make a separate thread for this subject. It might piss the moderators off. Just saying.

[Aconitum]

Agreed.

OT: I've gotten sick yet again and have to stand out in the freezing cold to hand candy to little shits dressed like goblins and ghouls

Speaking of Halloween. Last night some of my co-workers got into an argument about the meaning of Halloween. One claimed that it was just for fun, and the other claimed it was evil and the devil. His justification was that people usually dress up like, well, evil stuff. You know, goblins, ghouls, ghost, demons, horror movie characters, etc. I don't celebrate Halloween, so I really don't care one way or another.

[Dubaku]

Yo, Acon. Hang in there, we rooting for you
