I haven't done a hateful rant in a while

[vicarz]

Today was a cultural experience. I started off to work only to find that walking has surprisingly gone from "I seem to have a slight limp, I'm sure it'll be fine by tomorrow" to "how the fuck am I going to get to work, and is going there a good idea?" I limped my daily mile to the metro, and for the first time in maybe a year I rode the escalator down instead of walking. I had no idea: how slow the escalator was, how slow elevators were, how slow you disgusting excuses for humans are. My god these creatures are pathetic - I had no idea the vile husks of meat I was avoiding by merely walking a NY pace through the masses. Back in the waddling masses lie the dregs of humanity, all taking too long, all perfectly happy to stop at the top of the escalator until piles of people collapse on top of them as they block the moving walkway, and then the loves that start to look in their purse/pocket for their metro pass when they are in the walkway of the turnstile. My god these slovenly vermin should be culled.

Me, I'm going to the Dr. today (rather than the gym, fucking fuker fawk) so I may return to a worthy human condition. Hope I don't have to limp long or I may have to get a sword cane. Easier to limp over one of their grotesque corpses than to wait for them to move back out to sea of their own accord.

Speaking of hateful speech, I think it's time we took action against the christianic fundamentalists running amok in our country. They might not have taken out a building since Tim McVeigh, but as this latest 18 year old Ludwig killing his 14 year gf's parents demonstrates, the link between christianity and murder is a strong one. If Amber's death led to the instillation of a nationwide crime prevention system, I think similarly this widely-publicized murder should result in the ending of home-schooling combined with surveillance of christianic web-sites and churches. People are free to practice their religion, but we should monitor and record who does such to be able to more quickly apprehend them when they commit crimes such as murdering their church group, blowing up medical facilities, or teaching creationism.
Geeks with god-filled MySpace sites
Article - end has links to both of their websites, his has xtian rock bands on it while hers just says god bless all the time and notes church and jesus as her interests. Requires Post registration: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/14/AR2005111400139.html
Also, the boy was home-schooled - something else that should be struck down for the safety and good of society.

In real politics -
Bush is countering complaints that he lied and misled the country to justify his war by quoting Democrats who supported going to war. Only problem with this? They supported it based on the information he (and his tightly-knit press-repelling staff) supplied to them! He's criticizing them for buying his lies? How foolish of them!

Bush opposes rules against forcible sodomy? Bush is fighting with McCain about the proposed law to protect young boys in US custody against involuntary sodomy. Enjoy this cartoon. (Nov 14, 2005) (ok be fair, it's really only about torture in general, but it sounds more interesting if you pull out the sodomy part. Bush opposes the entire bill, not just the racy sections)

Re: Home-schooling. I completely agree. There is so much more that going to school involves than just the academics.

Good luck at the doctor.

I'm adding you...we've met at cocktails.

If hordes of second graders weren't due to storm through my doors any second, I would go into my home-schooling rant, but yeah, the short version is: home schooling = not good in most cases.

But I will have you know that I *always* have my metro card ready before I get to the turnstiles, and I use the escalator because of bad knees and a deathly fear of falling to my death if I move my feet on the escalator (I've hated escalators since childhood). Going up is fine, but down....no way!

"I had no idea: how slow the escalator was, how slow elevators were, how slow you disgusting excuses for humans are."


So you'd be one of the people that pissed me off cause you just stand on the escalator! Lazy!!!!! :-p

If the elevator's too slow, then get out and climb down the cables, you're telling me Keanu can do it in "Speed", and you can't? You disgust me! :-p

In France, Baptists are considered a cult and monitered on their version of cultwatch.

I'd really love it if all religious fanatics were treated equally. If people wearing crosses or shirts with bible quotes on them were given the same cautious observance and wide berths as people wearing turbans in airports, that would make my goddamn day.

I'm sorry that you seemed to not have a good experience with public schools, but please don't damn them all because of that. No, they aren't perfect, and they never will be. Anything that deals with people will never be a perfect system. There are plenty of schools and teachers doing a great job. We are held accountable regularly, let me assure you of that (I have *three* degrees in my subject area, and still had to go take more tests - that I passed with perfect scores.) We are *not* one-size-fits all factories - at least at my school we are not. I could go on and on, but I won't. I have found that most people have their minds made up whether or not they've actually done the research and explored the schools. Arlington County's schools speak for themselves.

Yeah I'm afraid I haven't experienced all three but I don't see public schooling as worthless. I find families far more screwed up than public institutions, and have far more trust in government than people that choose to home school in our current environment.

Dude! You so need a sword cane. That would be hot.
