I am really angry with a family friend who is and absolute moron. I can over look his drunken idiocy most of the time. He really is a rube. But yesterday he opened his stupid beer fume spewing pie hole and said “Well at least they blew up corporate America and not the heartland.”
What was that? oh, that’s it. Your a total fucking fuck fucker idiot. You and that wife of yours living in la-la land over there with the little chicken idiots your breeding. Maybe one day one of them will be smart enough to learn to use the answering machine. Duh…
Who the hell do you think you’re working for in that huge factory asswipe. Not Ma and Pa. I think it might just be corporate America writing those checks.
What an ass you are. Didn’t it occur to you for even a second that there were people who died yesterday? People who were doing nothing to harm anyone. Some where helping those people. I don’t think I can look at your face ever again. You stupid fuck.
The bad part about yesterday was listening to a few of the folks in the above-mentioned heartland (where I live). They kept referring to the criminal New Yorkers, whom they knew were going to start the looting any minute, all the while jacking up the local gas prices.
New Yorkers, thanks for showing us the wonderful side of being human. Ma and Pa Local-yokel, thanks for demonstrating the ugly side of it.
Folks, if you really want something to savor, head on over to http://www.trainorders.com, where what was until yesterday a railfan board has completely degenerated into “nuke the ragheads” diatribes.
Two weeks from Saturday I am supposed to go to a family birthday party. This particular branch of the family has several members who like to spew bigoted nonsense (my dad included, as you might have read in my “Don’t teach my niece to be a bigot” thread a while back. It’s been bugging me that I simply ignore this crap instead of saying something, or leaving. I mean, I doubt anything I say or do would change their thinking.
Anyway, I’m thinking that in light of recent events, this party may be the ultimate straw. I put the spew-o-meter at about 99% probability. Will I blow my top, or just leave? I really don’t know. But I don’t think I’ll just ignore it anymore.
I’m a pilot, and while I’ve spent an unusual amount of time recently on the ground, I’ve been surrounded by other pilots, so I haven’t had to listen to many idiotic jerks. Some, but not many.
My wife, however, works where she has to restrain herself from slapping stupid overage children who are still giggling over their surprise day off.
They think that at least it didn’t happen to them. Are you an American? It happened to you. Does your work support a free-choice system? It happened to you. Do you ever expect to get on an airliner again? It happened to you.
And it happened because some deceivers took advantage of our mutual trust in each other and the basic decency of the human race to kill us in the thousands.
There was broadcast today four or so hours ago a service of sorts in New York (I think . . . details are hazy) . . .
One of the speakers said something about “those who died . . . wouldn’t want to come back to us if they could.” Phrasing is not exact here, as I couldn’t write it down when I heard it, but that’s the gist.
I will now pause so we can reflect on the monumental idiocy of such a statement.
I’m surprised at how Dan Rather has made himself sound. He’s such an old school journalist, I don’t expect dumb things from him. One of his quotes on “the day” was something to the effect of: “Many lives have been lost, but many lives have been saved!”
Bryant Gumble gets an A+ for his stupid interview questions too! I apologize, but I don’t remember who he was interviewing when he said something like… “This is a horrible and tragic event… can you think of any other adjetives to use?”
~sigh~ For the people most responsible for trash TV, I’ve been the happiest with FOX’s reporting on this by far!
