I just read this and I’m so fucking annoyed.
STOP FUCKING SHOOTING EACH OTHER OVER STUPID FUCKING SHIT!

It’s often said that an armed society is a polite society. But it’s striking how some of us use guns to shoot and kill over trifles, issues that potentially could be resolved by being a little more polite.

Regarding “an armed society is a polite society” meme, my thought has been that you’re not respecting the person, or the person’s views, you’re “respecting” the coercive power of the weapon, meaning that it’s not a “polite” society, but an intimidated-into-silence society. However, given the kinds of people who believe in that social meme, they conflate “silence” with “agreement”.

And “compliance” with “respect”.

If you people don’t shut the fuck up and respect me I’l shoot you where you stand!

More detailed advice? Get a lawyer who knows about National Collegiate, who is notorious for suing on these loans. See this (slightly dated) article, for example. Search their name + “student load lawsuit” for more.
(Edit: “loan”, not “load”)

Mhm. We need guns to keep us polite, and to solve petty arguments like who gets the last of something during the Christmas rush for some limited edition consumer good.
The pursuit of happiness.
Here’s the deal. America wants what it wants. And if you don’t want those things… count yourself lucky.
Let’s split the country in half. Agree to disagree.
We can have a red side and a blue side.

And let both sides enact their favored economic doctrines and social policies on their side? Sounds good to me, so long as there’s freedom of movement across the border (to allow the refugees from the red side to escape). [/sarcasm]

How many divisions do you think we will ultimately need?

In Hamburg last week, a 55 year old guy stabbed a 62 year old guy for taking some rhododendron blossoms from a bush on a property they shared. A 42 year old woman also stabbed her mother-in-law over a disagreement about their dishwasher. So I guess the takeaway is that Europeans aren’t any less petty, they’re just less deadly.

On the red side? At least one per megacorp, plus a Free Market Zone for the black market, and a self-exponentiating number for the Evangelists as they excommunicate each other over doctrine. Probably a few bonafide feudalistic warlords, too.
For the blue, probably at least four to five, between liberals, the neo-liberals, the socialists, and the conservationists, plus the gradations inbetween. [/sarcasm]

So, this is basically nothing compared to the real tragedies and woes of many other folks here… but I need to vent a little bit because I’m highly annoyed and keeping it inside won’t help.
Today, after 6 months of complete radio silence, and almost a full year since we were actually involved, my douchebag ex contacted me, bringing all the bad memories and negative emotions right back up to the surface.
Unfuck my ex; because he doesn’t deserve the privilege…
That is all.

That “lol” at the end of his message? Ew. Are you going to respond or block the number?

Sorry for today’s needle in your eye.

Good so it’s not just me.
From the Joey from Friends sleazy-ass opening line to to the douchey ‘lol’ at the end; I can’t remember the last time two mere sentences made me so irate so instantaneously.
I’m not going to give him the satisfaction of responding to his bullshit although morbid curiosity has kept me from blocking him thus far; like how many attempts will he make before getting a clue?
Thank you, hon.

Thanks guys for the virtual hugs. Sorry not to respond earlier, I needed a couple days off from the internet.
