Things I'm hating right now
I was prompted to post this by a discussion I had with one of my friends last night. I was up all night afterwards thinking about it and I couldn't get to sleep as my adrenaline was rushing the entire time. So, here are the things I'm most hateful of right now. It may get a bit long but bear with me.

1. Rich Fucks Who Don't Give a Shit-These are the fucks who walk around on the street past all of the homeless and needy begging for even a fucking penny, and spend $350 on Victoria's Secret or Banana Republic then walk home past those same bums and spit on them, or look at them disgustedly. "Don't touch me. My shoes cost more money than you have you lazy, dirty, idiotic, uneducated, ugly homeless man with your dirty, ugly wife and your dirty, disgusting, poor, lazy children." Fuck you, bitch. You need to get a damn clue about life. Someday, I hope you have to live in the sewers drinking people's piss and eating their shit for sustenance. It's what you deserve.

2. Rich Fucking Money Hoarders- You know these people. They're the ones with trillions of dollars and they don't give a cent of it to anyone. Some of them do give to charities...as long as those charities shout about how great those people are and make them look good for giving away money. Bill Gates has 50 billion dollars. Fifty billion dollars?! I don't even know what I would do with a single billion dollars let alone fifty times that. If you aren't content with one billion dollars, you can go fuck yourself you greedy bastard. You don't even deserve a cent of it if that's the case. Honestly, if Gates, Paul Allen, Rupert Murdoch (you fucking dick), Warren Buffet and the other 100 richest Europeans gave half of their money either to charities or to homeless people, we could wipe out homelessness, hunger and/or poverty. But no, God forbid anyone become equal. Why should poor people get any of the rich people's money when the rich obviously worked soooooo hard to get it and the poor people are obviously soooooo lazy. Get a damn clue.

3. Rich Fucks Who Don't Understand Life- These are those idiots that have grown up rich, or have been rich so long that they have forgotten what money is. You see, they go to the mall or wherever it is that they like to throw money away at, but they don't spend money. Oh no, they use one of the 400 credit cards that they have. You do realize you have to actually use money to pay for it anyway don't you? That isn't just an unlimited line of credit you have there. You have to pay it off. But they don't they just use another credit card to pay off the previous one and so on and so forth. Then they die and leave all of their children/grandchildren/great grandchildren/ 200 generations of children saddled with their millions of credit card debt. Which leads to my next point.

4. Credit Card Companies- Should be banned and all of their CEO's drawn and quartered. They've ruined so many lives its unbelievable. All for the sake of becoming one of those rich fucks who don't care about a damn thing. Go to them with your sob story, "Yeah too bad. You owe us 100k. Don't got it. We'll be taking your house and your car and your children to sell into slavery." And quit sending me invitations to join the debtors club!

5. Indentity Theives-The only worse criminals are murderers, child molesters and abuser, rapists and terrorists. The punishment for identity theft should be right up there with the punishment for those crimes. These people are scum. They have no regard for the human element of their crimes. Don't they realize the effect they're having on people's lives? A lot of people are never able to recover from having their identity stolen and their credit rating FUBAR'ed.

6. Virus Makers- Lastly, people that make these things for the fun of spreading them around and fucking up everyone's computers, forcing them to spend money to fix it or buy a new one. What is with people? Why do they want to ruin everything? I really just want to take all of my money out of banks and stash it away, get rid of my credit cards (in the works), and retreat from society with my friends and family. Never use the internet or a computer for that matter, never watch television, buy anything without using cash, etc.

Anyway, that's my list for now. They're the six things at the top of my list at the moment. There are more, and I'm sure they'll get to me later, but for now this is it. Anything you'd like to add to this list, feel free. Thanks for reading this long ramble.

1. 7. Black (and other minority) Repugs (I'm black but it's okay with me if any of you hate them, too)
I can't STAND people who make it through the door held open by people who died or put their lives on the line to open it for them, and then slam the door shut as soon as they're past it. If I'm not making this clear, let me know, but you're all smart I think you'll get what I'm trying to say here.

3. Yeah, I'm, to quote Weird Al, "whiter than sour cream",
but this pisses me off, too. You know that protest chant that begins "Blacks! Latinos! Arabs, Asians and whites!" I'm thinking the Repubicans (not a typo) need to come up with their own, along the lines of "Whites! Self-loathing blacks! Kill an A-rab with an axe!"

4. I absoloutely refuse
To reserve a unique vitriol for minorities, for their political beliefs. That means I won't reserve venom for Clarence Thomas, but leave John Roberts off the hook. That means I won't call Powell an "Uncle Tom". Nor will I set aside my greater antagonism for women who have those views such as Coulter and Malkin. They are no worse than Hannity or Prager. We really have to cut this sh*t out of picking on women and minorities in the GOP, as if they are worse than the white male WASPS.

15. Okay with me. I don't like Repugs of any stripe. Thomas and Scalia are equally loathesome.
But I have very personal reasons for disliking the likes of Uncle Clarence and Aint Condi. Just like I don't like women who support policies that keep other women down. There's something doubly revolting about that. My thoughts and reasons for this run pretty deep and personal, but I won't bore you with all that. Suffice it to say, for me, this is not a fleeting emotion. And, don't get me wrong. I'm not letting white racists off the hook, no way.

14. Don't forget the women who take advantage of ALL the rights
feminism got them and use them to hold other women back. I'm thinking EVERY woman in the * admin. They truly piss me off. Oh and the homosexuals in the * admin that use their position to hold back other homosexuals. There is a special place in hell for people who don't recognize their own hypocrisy.

23. if they're vietnam vets, they do
yeah, that's :sarcasm:

if you give cash to the homeless, they will usually use it for booze or smack. homeless orgs in seattle recommend you don't give cash, but offer to buy food or donate directly to shelters. i offer to buy them breakfast or lunch, and you should see how fast some scoot off. and i don't offer a 75 cent candy bar - i'll buy them a big fat burrito.

7. Um... you might want to do a little research.
Both Gates and Buffet are giving most and all, respectively, of their money to charity.

9. I know Gates is giving money to charity
Part of the rant was should have been addressed to people who give their trillions to the less fortunate only because of outside pressures and/or only to make themselves look good, but I forgot it while I was writing it. Bill Gates was rich for a century before he started giving any money to charity. And you might not think it makes a difference, but to me, intent is nearly everything.

There was a time when people felt that the Catholic Church was being really generous and all when it took in starving, homeless children in medieval cities and made them parade around town crowing about how great the Church was. Yeah, that wasn't generosity. That was motivated by the need to gain converts and look like they were an important part of society. Gates is basically doing the same thing. And frankly, if I was starving and homeless, I'd rather starve to death in a gutter than accept charity from somebody with "conditions".

8. People who don't see anything wrong with owning
several houses spread all over the world, as if they NEED more than one house. I'm not even talking about people who rent out houses, but own them, keep a staff on hand in case they should happen to want to jump in a jet and go to Nice or some crap.

Same with people who think it's okay to own ten automobiles...whatever happened to the notion of "conspicuous consumption?" I'm the ONLY person I've heard use that phrase in the last ten years.

I HATE conspicuous consumption. Pretentious bullshit.

12. Yeah,
that would probably include people firmly on the right, like Bono, Jay Leno and Oprah.

19. True
but that shouldn't le them off the hook. I'm barely making it right now and I've considered several different criminal acts to help myself out, but none that would destroy someone else's life.

18. Gates is extremely charitable, it's just that his contributions to the GOP...
Edited on Sun Dec-10-06 05:16 PM by Hippo_Tron
Work directly against all of the good that he tries to accomplish. How many cases of HIV and AIDS would be prevented if Bush didn't say that the third world shouldn't have condoms and other forms of birth control?

20. Re: #3 - where do I begin?
1) "Rich" folks don't live on credit - they're rich, they don't have to.

2) "Rich" folks don't "saddle" their children with their debt - they leave them an inheritance.

3) How exactly do you identify which person using a credit card at the mall is one of your "rich fucks"? Is everyone who uses a credit card one of "them"?

21. People Who Say "Merry Christmas"
I will often say "Happy Holidays" to people.

I just HATE it when people respond by saying "Merry Christmas" to me!

It's like they feel the need to tell me that they don't want to even acknowledge that there are any other holidays this time of the year!

I HATE THEM and their disgusting little reply!
