There was one guy talking about a Mid-Easterner that came into his store with a press pass on after the RNC. He said "I was a little worried about that guy... why are they over here interested in our politics? Made me wonder if he was planning something." [Note: This is pretty much the most blatant nonsense I've heard in the three years I've been doing this garbage.] I'm thinking, you've got to be shitting me. How can someone be so unaware that the entire fucking world watches the politics of other countries? Our elections have an impact on the rest of the world in several ways, just as the direction other countries choose will have an impact on us (through economic and foreign policy, etc). How can anyone not be aware of that and understand that we'd have foreign reporters at the DNC and RNC? Unreal. Keep that shit to yourself. | ||

Not realising that another girl is in love with me for two years. Then watching her fall in love with someone else. Sigh. | ||

There's a difference between thinking marijuana should be legalized and talking out of your ass about every drug on the planet. I think you misunderstand, the key reason for legalising drugs is harm reduction. Anyway on topic I really get angry at 'summer kooks' aka the surfers who turn up on the few days there are waves in summer, but are nowhere to be seen during winter. These people tend to show less respect than locals, and frequently drop in/snake/waste good waves. They also like to litter the beach and generally just create a bad vibe. | ||

Who think that you are some nutcase junkie with dirty needles in your shoebox who does nothing but drugs. These people tend to be totally clueless when it comes to mundane shit like pot. People who are similar to the above when it comes to video games. I never said that I think people who do drugs are horrible people. I said that people who think they are cool simply because they do them are annoying. It makes you look like you are insecure about yourself too. Pot smokers around me irl and pot smokers I see on the internet often talk to me as if they feel like they have to tell everyone around them that they smoke pot, or whatever drug they smoke or used to smoke. What do you want me to do? Congratulate you? Envy you? | ||

I don't like people who push almost as much as I dislike people who constantly judge your character by it. If I can't enjoy a little escapism without being a hopeless fugitive or some shit, then what the hell is there recreation for anyway? EDIT: "Was not" is what I meant. | ||

 Rant regarding the US election incoming.+ Show Spoiler + In the last weeks I got bombarded with infos regarding the US election. German media, who loves Obama was all over it. Every little detail was shoved down my throat. If you have a TV and like to watch news from time to time it was impossible to avoid. Additionally there is the internet. I was confronted with literally insane right wing drivel/opinions etc. on all kinds of boards/homepages all over the fucking net. Partially it was so insane that it made guys like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck or other rightwing nutjobs look like communists. Gladly the US elected Obama. Not that he is no right wing hack. He just has another paintjob and is more softly spoken in comparison to "traditional" right wing nutjobs. His drone policy murders thousands of civilians in rural areas of a country which is not aggressive towards the US. The majority of the local population is illiterate and doesn't even know that 9/11 ever happened. Yet they get killed for it. Some time ago the US administration murdered a 16 year old US citizen in Yemen. His crime? His father was on a kill list. Then asked about it by journalists one of the administration's top dogs simply said: "Well, he shouldn't have been the son of a terrorist". Yeah you read that right. Kill minor citizens because of crimes done by their father. In Germany this was considered normal under Nazi rule and called "Sippenhaft". This is the new progressive in America. Think about that. Also closing Gitmo, hmmpfff forget it. The youngest prisoner in Guantanamo was 12 years old and had to endure 7 years of torture before he was cleared of all charges by a court in 2009. Of course the progresive US administration heavily protested. They would need more time to collect proof. Yeah, you only had seven years to destroy the kid's life, give him some more!. Obama is basically the same warmonger than his predecessor. Unlike Bush jr. he doesn't get ridculed and critisized heavily by the rest of the world. Is there any rational reason for that? I don't care if he fails to induce the promised change in topics regarding inner politics of the US, like drug laws in America etc.This is none of my business. But at the point where the US engages in other countries affairs, kills thousand of locals and screams "liberty" while doing so, the rest of the world should protest and make clear that this kind of actions should not be supported. What happens? This guy gets admired in the western world. People are fans of this ruthless warmonger. Why? May it be because we totally lost our moral compass, killing and going to war became normal again. We are blinded by soft and compromising speech, the actions behind that speech become totally unimportant. We are back to embracing our ignorance, proud to be blind. | ||

How do you react in this situation without looking really awkward and weird? My solution was to tell them to fuck off, which just made me seem like a jerk. Better than blushing and trying to ignore them which was the alternative. | ||

Better than blushing and trying to ignore them which was the alternative. They obviously lack a certain amount of experience in that area, so maybe you can provide that for them? ;-) Another common gear grinder: people 'selling' their religious views door-to-door. (Or any other method, for that matter) I mean come on, you think I've never heard of Jesus?? I'm not a terrible person in real life, but I literally slam the door in their faces without saying a word. Screw those people. I'm not a believer in any form of religion, but I really don't care what other people believe. Just keep it to yourself and stop bugging other people about your believes. It's called respect. Doesn't it say enough that you need to go out and 'convert' people? I bet if I go door-to-door selling my 'god-doesn't-exist'-view I get kicked in the teeth before I reach the end of the street. | ||
