AGJM 13 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I was watching some of the old clips of the 9/11 attacks and the responses from various people. I'll admit that I got a bit teared up. I really do want to know why people insist that it was an inside job - the Illuminati did it, some say. It was done by a group that has been around since the 1920s, the one that founded the UN, claim some. The government did it to steal gold from the bottom of the tower, shouts another. It was all orchestrated by the rich that want to live off of the poor and don't care about how many people they kill, cry the unemployed college students, envious of the successful. And all of them forget about the lives lost, the tragedy, the bravery, the mourning, the way we drew together, the way the world stood still - all because of their own delusional conspiracies. They're too concerned about making their own theory and getting attention for making people think it is right to be concerned about the victims and the villains.

RedBeard 27 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) AGJM, there will always be people out there with nothing better to do than come up with wacky conspiracy theories (Moon Landing deniers come immediately to mind). For me, they're like the car alarm that everybody ignores: loud and obnoxious, but ultimately inconsequential. Edited March 21, 2013 by RedBeard Quote My Gallery Link to post Share on other sites

AGJM 13 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Also sort of mad that I don't have time to make anything in Paint.net right now. One more week until Spring Break... When I may begin working at Chick-Fil-A. I'm not flippin' burgers, man, I'm successful - I only fry chicken! I think I'll enjoy working, though. I'll be able to get out of the house some more, even if it is to clean public restrooms at a fast-food place. Quote The hardest part of ending is starting again. Link to post Share on other sites

Rubrica 14 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Minor rant - well, more of an irritation, really: I'm in a musical, and I've never sung before. As in, never. Through sheer serendipity and dumb luck, I have managed to avoid singing a word in my entire life - don't ask how I got given the role, but I just know this will end quite badly. Time to practise, I guess! Hey, remember when I posted this here a little while ago? Well, we had our fifth and final performance last night, and it actually ended up going really well - I actually had a member of the audience come up to me after the performance and compliment me, so that was lovely. I know this isn't a rant, but I just felt like updating my previous one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kemaru 44 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) minor rant: My dad waters and takes cares of my saplings and flowers for me... It is annoying, because I'd like to learn gardening and growing things and he sort of took over my hobby. Also, I detest it when others do things I haven't asked them to do for me, which makes living with my father (who likes to do pretty much everything for my brother and me) sort of unbearable at this point. Well, at least I know they are in good hands.

Feeling threatened to this degree probably warrants professional help. It most certainly constitutes workplace bullying & harassment. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Daniels 129 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I am royally ticked off right now. I learned this morning that some people have been cheating in my physics class. So now, the grades for the first two exams are being annulled, and the final exam is going to be worth 65% of the entire course grade. The entire class is having to suffer because a bunch of inconsiderate prats decided to try to "beat the system". When are people going to realize that there are consequences for what they do? And that these consequences don't effect just them? I would love to know who they are. Boy, would they get an earful... Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to post Share on other sites

I just make sure to keep my multiple choice answers covered when we're testing... In my last year of high school, a girl wanted to cheat from me. I told her no because I am very much against that kind of thing. She threatened me with physical violence from her older brothers. Nice girl. I could not tell the teachers. It was making me sick. On the exam I did the first page & then turned 2 pages, doing the second page last. Needless to say, she got many answers incorrect. She was pretty angry. Cheats never prosper. Good on you PdnNoob.
