Rant Against Everyone Who Shits Me...Just go get rooted, all of you!

The BBQ Pit
1

OK, this is a rant against the mad freakazoid woman I work with who whinges perpetually about just how HARD it is to be a single mother with a young child (yeah, it’s hard, but not as impossible as she makes out…)

It’s also a rant against the bastards who flew into the WTC towers on 11/9/01, and those who detonated the bombs in Kuta on 12/10 02. It’s a curse upon the Met in Melbourne who cannot co-ordinate their public transport at peak hour, so that we wait AGES for a tram, and then 4 turn up at the same time.

It’s a bitch about the cost of books in Australia, especially since the introduction of the GST. It’s a moan about how kid’s nowadays won’t lift a finger, except to gesticulate their disapproval. It’s about the doomsday evangelists who spout their hatred of humanness at the corner of Collins St and Swanston on a Friday night. It’s about the adolescent arseholes who won’t offer their seat on the bus to a person who is obviously disabled, or just old. It’s about crappy free-to-air TV, it’s about the exorbitant costs of internet access. It’s a grievance about xenophobia and about how most people don’t want to be enlightened…they are as happy as pigs in shit about their ignorance.

It’s a rant against dead-beat husbands who don’t cough-up maintenance (alimony) , and careless mothers who leave their kids in hot cars to die. It’s my gripe against the ‘poverty traps’ that are institutionalised by government policy that make it much more difficult for me to earn a decent living than my single counterparts. It’s about how we desperately need rain here, but Og isn’t listening to our pleas. It’s that while the footy season is officially over, we still cannot escape the AFL impact, even over summer. It’s that they are building an apartment block at the back of my house that will be 5 storeys high, and will look into my (otherwise private) backyard, and the planning authorities don’t give a shit.

It’s that if men had periods, tampons would be cheap. It’s that kids in many countries are dying because of a lack of the very basic medical care that we in the west take for absolute granted. It’s a rant against the ethics of pharmaceutical companies, who are happy to test their wares in Third World Countries, but deny them the end product because their citizens cannot afford to pay for it.

It’s about dodginess the world over, and I’m dead-set tired of shitheads. It’s been a bad day, OK?
Thank you for listening to my rant, and if anyone wants to add another category, feel free!

Sincerely Yours
kambuckta :cool:

I’d like to add anybody who responds to an OP without saying anything particularly interesting.

3

Is “everyone who shits me” similar to “everyone who pisses me off”? Is it an Australian saying? Sorry 'bout the minor hijack- but I had not heard that one before, and like to keep up on my profanity. Thanks!

4

Indeed, elf6c, ‘shits me’ and ‘pisses me off’ are equivalent in the Aussie vernacular. Only happy to oblige!!

5

Aww geez yer a dag, kambuckta. :smiley:

6

Why is your name kAmbukta while your location is KUmbukta?

Oh, and I agree.

7

Yes, a lot of those things shit me too. Do you have tollbooths in Australia? Because I am very shitted by tollbooths.

8

Neato! Thanks kambuckta!

:slight_smile:

I agree with nearly everything in the OP. Shoot the muthah fockers, cut up the corpses, burn the pieces, and have the ashes arrested.

However,

I’m a bit lost on this point. Is this part of The Great Male Conspiracy™? Really, I try to attend all of the meetings, but I must have been out that day.

Do the laws of supply and demand go out the window when women – arguably the greater part of the consumer market – have no power over consumerism?

I think I’m missing something.

What a great rant, you covered just about everything. But to stop me from going out and killing the first person I see, please tell me that there is at least one thing that is OK about your life?

11

It’s nice to know, that Australia’s Youth have truly grasped the nature and direction of current trends in world affairs. :slight_smile:

12

Ya know what really shits me?

Ex-Lax.

:SMACK!:
“Owwwww. Whaaat?”

13

Please ignore my use of a question mark in the above reply. I changed the sentence structure in mid post without changing the punctuation. That is unless you also wish to add a rant about those dumb 'mericans. :smack:

14

FUCK THE PANDAS TOO!!!
hi, Zorro
:wink:

15

Fucking white nationalists suck.

Fuck PRICKS!!!

16

Jeez, terrorists struck us on November 9th, too? Bastards! [Yes, yes, I know]

17

[Mahir]

I SHIT you!

Tampons are classified as luxury goods in Australia and attract a tax. So, yeah I do think if men used them, there’s a chance they would be classed the same as loo paper.

Centrelink still shit me off. Poverty traps irritate the fuck out of me. Extreme fire danger warnings in October and no prospect of rain.

And FUCKING ANTS!!! I’ve never seen anything like it! We’re infested with ants! I get up in the morning and the jug is a swarm of ants. I have to rinse it before I can boil it. I’ve thrown away more food than I care to think about inthe last 24 hours.

Children who do not put lids on containers to keep ants out deserve to be severely beaten. Children who then will not eat a biscuit even after I carefully remove the ants, deserve to be even more severely beaten.

What is currently shitting me:
I live in a nice city. It was nice, anyway, then 250 000 extra people showed up, and now it’s not so nice anyway. And I can’t even complain properly about this, because I only came her 12 years ago myself. Well, I’m pissed off anyway, even if I don’t have a right to be, because due to the 1/4 million extra people, Jim and I can’t afford to buy a house because we’re so busy racing full-speed just to live here. I’m yanked about the cost of living skyrocketing here, and the salaries limping slowly along behind. I’m bent out of shape about the traffic here (see extra 1/4 million people again) and the city planners who plan the city reactively, instead of proactively - how can you build a new highway and have it jammed full to 125% capacity the day it opens?!? I’m mad at the rest of Canada for all wanting to move here - stay where you are! Make where you are a better place, instead of making Calgary a fuller place. And yes, I know, every other large city in North America has similar complaints, and some are much worse than here. I don’t care. I don’t live there, I live here, and here is starting to suck. Oh yeah, and I have nothing to eat for supper in my fridge, either. Bleah.

There are some issues that cause me a degree of mild concern too.

I feel that the incident in Bali is somewht regrettable.

Perhaps some more assets should be deployed in relieving some of the tensions in Rwanda with a hope to establishing a stable governments there.

I would like to see more effective policy in conserving energy, and if all those endangered species were to die out, well that would be a bit of a shame.

I suppose there are some other things I ought to become very unhappy about, even though there is absolutely nothing I can do to alter things.

When the terrorists have made everyone unhappy, when they make us all paranoid and lack belief in human goodness, then they will succeed, but not whilst I live.
