God damn it.
I fucking hate this guy. This...*checks* Jack Thompson shithead.
But I'll get right back to that, I wanna rant about something on Evil Avatar so I can close that tab.
"A recent case of suicide by a boy addicted to Internet games has increased the public's concern over the issue of Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD). Xiao Yi, a 13-year-old from Tianjin, committed suicide thinking that he would meet his friends from cyber space after he died. He jumped from the top of a 24-storey high-rise, Beijing Youth Daily reported yesterday. He left four notes before he committed suicide. In the letters Xiao, playing the role of a character from a computer game, said that he wanted to meet three friends who also played the game in paradise."
Yeah...It's always shit like this that turns people's attention towards video games. Sure, it's the fault of the internet that the kid killed himself. THAT'S it. I think it was because the kid was a fucking moron. He obviously had a screw loose to believe that shit in the first place. Bastard.
Yeah, that really ties in to this...*checks again* Jack Thomspon. Yeah, he's the dumb bastard shitfucker 'Anti-Violence Crusader' which is complete bullshit. He's the anti-video game douche. I've ranted about him before. Yeah, there's an interview on a site that I'm reading. Luckily there's also the point of view of Henry Jenkins, 'Gaming's Champion'.
Yeah, just finished reading the first interview, with Jack Ass. Err...Jack Thompson. Yeah, at the very end, he says that one day there will be a Columbine to the factor of 10, and that Congress may ban these games altogether. Yeah, that's a great idea. Then we have a target for our agression which can no longer be taken out in a harmless virtual reality method. Fuckin' brilliant. That's when he'll get his real video game related violence, right there. 'cause I'll fucking kill them ALL!
Yeah...That just really irritates me. I guess you could tell from the cursing and death threats, huh? Oh wait...That's how I am all the time. Fuck all of you. But mostly, fuck you Jack Thompson. You're a fucking dumbass, you know that? Once we reach a certain age, I think we can tell the difference between right and wrong, between virtual reality and real life. Unless they come out with some crazy VR gear. Man that'll make for some good games. But there's a big difference in holding a gun and holding a video game controller. Kids that actually act out because of these games are already fucked in the head, the video games just happened to be the catalyst. And most of the cases that you stupid fucksticks blame on video games just happen to be done by people that enjoy video games. There's not always a real connection there. And if it is, then it's not the fault of the people that produced the game, it's the fault of the people that play the game and ACT on it. I said this in my last rant on the subject, but we can't blame the video game producers for giving us the OPTION to do things in video games. They're not forcing people to do them. Etc.
Speaking of the fault of things, and I probably mentioned this last time I ranted on this subject, but does anybody remember when a kid killing himself was blamed on Dungeons and Dragons? Yeah, there was quite literally no evidence to support that. The mom just didn't like that he played the game, and couldn't accept that any other factors were responsible in the suicide. Yeah, that sounds pretty dumb, huh? That's a lot like some of these acts of aggression that are blamed on video games. No real evidence.
At one point, the interview states that he previously compared Doug Lowenstein, President of the Entertainment Software Associations to Saddamn Hussein. I can't even begin to point out the errors in that statement. The ONLY thing these two men have in common is the last three letters of their last names. Jackass.
Right, I'm gonna read the not-stupid interview now, and comment on it.
Ah, here we go. Jack Thomspon claims that the ESRB ratings don't work at all, and a bunch of other shit like that. Henry Jenkins says that the ESRB ratings are fine. It's getting parents to pay attention to them that's difficult. Yeah. It's not San Andreas' fault that kids are playing these games, it's their parents buying them for the kids. BIYATCH. Roughly 85 percent of games purchased for those under 18 are by adults. That's the moms and dads buying their kids GTA because they're not smart enough to actually put a little thought into it.
Ooo! Here's something I missed! In the Jack Thompson section, there's a tiny pic and a little caption, that mentions the 'copycat insurance' that game companies are supposedly buying, to make sure they don't lose money over people trying what they did in video games. All of the major publishers that the site or whomever did this spoke to said that this 'copycat insurance' does not exist. Fuck you, Jack Thompson.
Yeah, there's less to comment on with Gaming's Champion. He knows what's what, he's not a fuckwit like the other guy. I agree with what he's saying. I'm tempted to find his email and tell him what a good job he's done, but I lack the motivation.
Anyways, check out the article
HERE.
Enjoy.
Moving on to our next point of business, the youth of today. Our generation.
Our generation sucks some serious ass. I had a talk with Eric earlier today, and decided that I was going to categorically go through all of the different types of youth that I could think of, and tell you why they suck.
And yes, I am going to be labelling people, here. I'm sick and tired of people bitching about being labelled. Especially when SOME people do it. If you didn't want to be labelled, maybe you should draw the line at some point when it comes to how many facial piercings you have, you dumbass. Anyways, yes. I label people. So do you. It's not always a concious thing. Our minds do it, we automatically assume things about people. We can't help it. It's not our fault. But when we go and act on those assumptions, then it's bad. But yeah, I label, I judge. If you say that you don't ever judge or label people, then I am calling you a complete fucking liar. :)
Right, so where to start?
Wiggers and thugs. They're wiggers. And thugs. 'nuff said.
Okay, so I'll bitch about then anyways, despite the 'nuff said.
How to spot a wigger/thug:
Yeah, look for ugly clothes that are far too big for the person, or with things like 'Sean Jean' written on them. Lots of brand labels. Also, look for 'bling-bling', or other generic shiny possessions they have. This could include watches, chains, etc. But most of all, take a listen if they have music playing. The shit they call music is a dead giveaway.
Yeah, they just piss me off. How they dress, their music. It all plays a part in this. Not ALL rap music is bad, but when you've got morons like Eminem or however the fuck you spell it putting out songs called 'Ass like that', where the just 'sing' about asses, that's definately crossing a line. And when you're talking about 'hoes and bitches', that's crossing a line. I don't have so much of a problem with the music if it's not degrading to women. But 'Ass like that'? Yeah, I'd say that degrades women. Teaching wiggers and thugs to care about...certain parts of the female anatomy instead of the female herself. What gets me, though...Is that there are females that listen to this. They listen to music that degrades them. I don't fucking get it, but I do get that they're not very smart.
They suck because: Already covered this.
But I could bitch about them for paragraphs...Let's move on.
Well, then you've got your hippies.
How to spot a tree-hugger...I mean, hippy:
First of all, look for tie dye. Then look to the feet. Sandals? Yeah, that could mean something. Then again, it could not. I wear tie dye and sandals all the time, but that doesn't make me damn dirty hippy. One of the biggest things is to look for any peace signs they might have on their person. Necklaces, rings, that kinda thing. That's a pretty big way to check. Earthy colours? No brand labels? Bitching about something? Sounds like a hippy to me!
Hippies are a pacifistic people that dislike violence. This isn't good when they're in a fight. They will bitch about things, and attend protests, but if you look carefully, they will VERY RARELY ever actually accomplish something. And usually if they do, it's just to shut them up. A good place to find them is at protests. They like to complain and feel that they're actually making a difference in the world. Yes, I know that them thinking that is very laughable, but it gives them reason to crawl out of bed in the morning. Also, a large number of hippies are pro-drugs, especially marijuana. Some might also be vegetarian or even *shudder* vegan. Because again, they think that it makes a difference in the world. Although, if you're a veggie-munchers because you don't enjoy meat or have allergies or something, that's fine. But if you don't eat meat or animal products because of how the animals are treated, then you ARE a hippy. No matter what.
Still about hippies, they believe in peace. They don't think that countries should fight, they don't think there should be war. They don't seem to realize that no matter what, there will always be aggressive people that will want to harm somebody. And that violence is sometimes the only way to stop them. Peace is bullshit. The only real way to get peace is to defeat your enemy. And no, making them your friend does NOT count. You have to blow the shit out of them or something. Once ALL of your enemies are destroyed, voila. Peace.
Why they suck: Because they're stupid, and actually think that they can affect the world, and that peace is a feasible option. Wake up.
Moving on...
Punks.
How to spot a punk: Quite often dark clothes. They seem to like plaid. They have very....distinctive senses of fashion. If you can call it a sense of fashion. I'm not entirely sure how else do describe them.
Punks...What to say about punks...Yeah, I'm not particularly fond of them. I don't like their music, and that seems to be a VERY large part of who they are. Rather like the wiggers/thugs, actually. Although, I do enjoy their music a damn sight more than I enjoy that shit they like to call rap. Punks can really stick out in a crowd. In some cases, look for outrageous hair. Odd haircuts, or strange colours. Things like that. I'm afraid I know less about punks than I do about some other types of people, but I shall attempt a little more research into the subject.
Why they suck: Shitty music, and they just tend to irritate me.
Next let's go to goths.
How to spot a goth:
Oh, this is easy. Look for somebody that never seems happy and wears black all the time. Or somebody that's a male, but wears eyeliner. Yep. You've got yourself a goth!
Hrm...Not quite sure what to say about goths either. They can sometimes be confused with punks. I'm not entirely sure what they listen to, but it's probably better that way. Very dark and depressed and all of that other shit. I'll attempt a little research into this as well, and get back to you.
Why they suck: Too goddamn dark. I mean, I like black clothing, but please! There's gotta be a limit!
Next we've got your...
Nerds/geeks. Now THIS is easy.
How to spot a nerd/geek:
First off, look for glasses. A large number of pencils/pens/markers? Try to listen to what they're saying. Talking about computers and video games? That's a nerd/geek right there. Fashion senses differ a lot here. The classic geek look is the button-shirt, but there's a lot of geeks and nerds out there that dress normally. Although, if you note anybody wearing a shirt that was ordered from a webcomic or some other webthing, then you've got a geek/nerd, or somebody that's friends with one.
What's to say? We fucking rule. Becoming completely necessary in this cyber-world of ours. A world where people consider themselves computer literate because they can run MSN. They don't know jack shit about what makes their computer tick. If it stopped working, what would they do? WHAT WOULD THEY DO?! Go to a nerd or a geek, of course. We'll fix it.
Now, please note that just because you know a thing or two about computers, that doesn't make you a geek or a nerd. And if you enjoy Star Trek, that doesn't make you a nerd. There's gotta be a combination of things.
It pisses me off to see people think that they're geeks or nerds just because they know a bit about computers, watch sci fi, and use computers for shitty websites and MSN. You're a wannabe. And I know for a fact that this implies to some people that read/use to read this blog.
Can you program? Hm? Can you read OOTS, and laugh at it with a real understanding of what's going on? Do you have a disturbing fascination with 20-sided dice? Then you're probably a nerd. But if you can't, you might wanna do a little research. And set your status to busy on MSN. Don't want any distractions.
Why they suck: We don't. We are the true rulers of this world. Wannabe's, though, THEY suck.
Next, we have religious nuts.
How to spot them:
Constantly quoating bible-verses? Telling you that whatever you're doing is against their religion, or that it's wrong? Religious paraphanelia? Cross-necklace? These can be signs.
I have no problem with religious people. But when they become religious nuts, I don't wanna fucking hear it. I don't care if what I'm doing is bad according to the way YOU live your life. It's fine by mine. There are, of course, some religions that just piss me off without real reason. FUCKING BUDDHISTS. WHERE'S YOUR BUDDHA NOW?!?!?!
Why they suck: Shoving their religion down your throat when you don't give a rat's ass.
As far as I can remember, we only have one left.
Sluts.
How to stop a slut:
Oh, this is too easy. Look for a female wearing very little clothing. Flaunting her cleavage. With a different guy every week. You've got yourself a slut right there!
I used to think that you couldn't really be a slut without actually fucking people. I have since changed my perspective. If you're going to go around making out with guys, people that you barely know, strangers, and keep changing guys all the time, you're a slut. If you've been CALLED a slut, there's probably a reason behind it. Maybe you should re-evaluate the way you live your life. And maybe you should raise your standards a little bit, stop sticking your tongue in every mouth that presents itself to you.
If you have made out with four DIFFERENT people in the period of one month, then you are a slut. I don't care what you say. That makes you a slut. If you go to a party and make out with some guy you've never met before then, and possibly even go further, you are a slut.
Deny it all you like, that doesn't make it any less true.
Why they suck: Heheheheheheheheh. Suck. Get it? Oh...Oh, that's good. Anyways, they suck because there's no challenge. Anybody can have them. And it doesn't mean anything to them.
Right, I think that's about it for tonight...Oh, I never did a run-down of my day!
Yeah, I went to see Episode 3. It was FUCKING AWESOME. Afterwards, I played DDR at the Galaxy. Good times.
Yeah, that was my day.
If there's any types of people YOU'D like to hear categorized, leave a post! I was gonna add jocks, but I should have gone to bed a few minutes ago!
May this post stir up contraversy and piss people off of all the groups mentioned above!
Until next time,
Parts of this post were written with REAL people in mind. See if you can guess who they are!
