My only issue with that kind of thing here (Australia) is when asian stores don't have any english translations on their signs and products.

looking around at all the items and seeing that they are NOW wrote in spanish also
I think that you're being a bit carried away in regards to the mere presence of signage that's not exclusively in your first language.
I don't particularly mind having signage in their own, or any races own language - I mean, perhaps it is actually a useful tool when both languages are present, to have one and then the other - so that they can gradually pick up the language, which is what I gather from your post that you would want...A lot of people learn languages better through these means.
It's kind of like those foreign to us being pissed that they have to add English sub-titles to the movies we often watch, or an english description to recipes and foodstuffs.
Not to snap, but I think you're not really considering the entire issue on that one.

Wanna hear something really messed up?My grandparents live in Nc and they have alot of hispanics that attend thier church.They had all the english speaking people take classes to learn spanish to make the hispanics feel more comfortable.How messed up is that?
If it was voluntary that's fine. If it was mandatory or pressured, that's bullshit unless they also offer/enforce english classes on the other parties.
I don't know the whole issue here though.

What's pissing me off right now is HOT HOT HOT weather...I get that right now this isn't the best time to bring this up on a forum predominately full of USA folks, but shit...this country just gets so damn fucked up HOT.
Bushfires happen nearly every time...today we got 42c (107.6f) not a damn cloud, and it was like that for 2 days.
Thankfully there was a storm and it rained for two groups of around 20 minutes each this afternoon/evening, rather cooled things down.
I'm sure there's more bullshit cancer weather on the way though.

Yes, I agree that I could be getting carried away, but it still irks me to no end. As for your "hot" weather............please pass some this way, I am so tired of being cold. It is just getting colder and colder!! You lucky Australians with the hole in the ozone layer!! I know your not really lucky, but I'd like it to at least get up in the 70's!!!

.

i dont believe english was the first language spoken in the land now known as the USA anyway.

everything changes. new people move in - accomodations are made.
it's not the 1st time... english speaking/writing people are NOT native to north america.... something everyone seems to forget.

Peoples 'internet egos' get on my nerves, generally speaking of course. I just hate how message boards can consume somebody's life to the point where your hobby is proving people wrong on the internet and making them look stupid. Yeah sure it can be fun but doesn't it get a little old sometimes? HDC is pretty sweet but it just sucks that you can't say anything without getting your ass chewed out. I guess I should just assume the position then because I'm sure all message boards are the same. (This is the only one I've been on. ) I actually used to make fun of people for being on forums but once I found one that actually interests me, it's kind of cool. I just wish the internet wasn't such an angry place.

OH, and when you can't do anything at your job without someone saying, "WAIT! YOU DIDN'T CONSULT ME FIRST!"

i could give you the names of some forums where arguing with the mods means an automatic ban and continuing the argument means a permanent ip ban.






we're pretty chilled in comparison.

...

On the BITCHING SESSION note...

What what gets on my nerves the worst?

Dating someone who's 14 years older than I am who doesn't seem to APPRECIATE the fact that he SCORED A 20-SOMETHING WHILE IN HIS 40s.

I mean - If YOU were an older man and you scored a hot 20-something, WOULDN'T YOU BE ALL OVER THAT SHIT ALL THE TIME?!?!?!

Know what gets on my nerves the most?!
  • NOT GETTING ANY FROM MY FUCKING BOYFRIEND
  • NOT EVEN HAVING DATES WITH MY FUCKING BOYFRIEND
  • WHEN MY FUCKING BOYFRIEND THINKS THAT GOING TO BEST BUY AND NEWBURY COMICS IS A FUCKING DATE
  • WHEN MY BOYFRIEND CONSIDERS HIM FALLING ASLEEP ON THE COUCH TO BE QUALITY TIME WITH ME WHILE HE MAKES PLANS TO SPEND WITH HIS FUCKING BROTHER FOR WHEN HE'S RECUPERATED



Ok. Sorry guys. I'm just... irritated. I don't like taking personal shit to the forum. It's just not my fucking bag.

I fucking hate Newbury Comics. Pretentious fakey hipster so and so's. Best Buy can be a date if he buys you something. Take off your shirt and call him a queer until he either cries or does something. If neither occurs tell him you're going to a bar to score with some college girls. On the other hand, maybe he's some kind of moron. I thought all men were like me in that I feel sex is like cake; even if you don't have room, you make room. It's six am, I edited an entire manuscript and wrote for six hours then helped clean the room, then I went for a jog and then did a bunch of situps and suddenly I'm awakened. I can barely freakin' move but sex is supposed to happen now. Why? I don't ask. To paraphrase Tennyson: "Ours is not to reason why, ours is not to make reply, ours is but to screw or die". Feh. Is this not the case with everybody? Remind him that he is squandering a precious natural resource, or once more "I'm going to a bar to pick up college chicks". Feh. Wasteful. There are starving people in China who aren't gettin' any. Do the work, have the sex. Could this really be that difficult? Feh again. Just make sure he does the work.

LMAO - I think I heart you.

Maybe I should start dating guys my age. ;)


IS it an age thing, though? I just don't get it.


And, personally, I'm with YOU on that one, Doc...

I feel the same way. Always have, always will. "No" RARELY enters my vocabulary when it comes to the physical delights. Everyone should find that person that they're willing to do ANYTIME ANYWHERE, regardless of how "full" you may be.

Doc Faustus 01-31-2009 02:04 PM

Thank you. I'm glad you agree. And Newbury Comics? Fakey and pretentious? I remember a time when they didn't even sell comics. Is it still like that? God, I hated that place.

Newbury Comics I actually don't mind. We don't have any good indie record stores around us, so Newbury Comics was the only place near me where I could find artists like Gogol Bordello, Pedro the Lion, The Notwist, The Magnetic Fields, and the smaller guys like that.

The guys who work at the one near me are more the fanboy types and not the snooty types. You can sit down with them and talk about when the latest volume of The Walking Dead is coming out and whether or not it's worth waiting for, blah blah blah.

Sure, you have all of the teenie-bopper-wannabe-punk clothing all over the place and the silly tchotchkies, but amongst that, you also get some neat toys, stickers, and the whatnot from artists like Tarah McPherson (who is a favorite of mine).

The comic book section IS pretty small, though, so I can see why that's pretty irritating.

I just use it for its music and DVD collection, which it has a decent selection of.

Doc Faustus 01-31-2009 02:47 PM

Ah. I grew up on the North Shore. Lots of snotty rich fake hipsters at that one. They are a good place to buy CDs, but I've always hated how they call themselves a comic shop while they're actually like a Hot Topic or a Spencers with most of the merchandise.

Phalanx 01-31-2009 08:37 PM

Right now?
Obama. I don't have any negative feelings towards the guy, I just don't give a fuck enough...Personally I think most of his voters voted, just to prove a point about themselves anyways...but yeah, I've had enough Obama saturation.
Guys even in a Spider-man comic, fuuuuuuck off:rolleyes:

...and these 2012 fuckers...Yknow what?
The ancient Mayans just didn't think anyone'd be left around by then to prove 'em wrong, they sure died out quick enough to save some pretty big face. :p
Seriously, what kind of people honestly go in for this shit?
How many groups have claimed the same, always "because some ass/ess in the past said it would be...date rolls around, they look disappointed, I look a little like I'm laughing at them, or maybe a lot.

Now, I'm not the kind've guy that's always the smartest in the room...but I don't even think scientists of many disciplines these days could cast more than a very vague estimate at catastrophic global event, I swear, sophisticated buildings and some semblance of early "written" language aside, to believe this kind of hokey shit thrown up on a wall sometime is just blatantly stupid...It's just like their Y2K...get over it.

It's actually not Obama that irritates me; it's his followers. It's the closest thing that I've seen to a pop cult in my life. On inauguration day everyone just walked out of work to crowd around televisions to watch him take the Oath. It was pretty sickening.

I'm with you here. Why people seem so eager to believe that someone from the past can predict the end of the human race, I'll never know. The only real threats to the human race that I can see right now are the barring of scientific progress and the supernova of the sun. As long as we don't impede the former, the latter should be manageable within a few 1000 years.

Phalanx 02-01-2009 12:15 PM

That's cool if you don't care about him but you can't be surprised when there's a lot of buzz about a new president of the United States- it's kind of a big deal. Especially when we're getting rid of one that's fucked things up and given us a bad name for eight years, and especially one who's made history like Obama has. I mean, it isn't like this is Paris Hilton or something.

Barfing really gets on my nerves. :mad:

I caught a bug from work over the weekend and I had to leave 6 hrs early! I threw up in a Residents room! And in the tv room! And it came out of my nose too so it's like I couldn't breathe and it was just non-stop vomiting. When I got home I puked like all night long and had cold sweats, it was awful! Then my body ached so I stayed in bed for two days without eating, afraid I was going to keep throwing it up.. ahhhhh. I had to pick up a shift from work last night even though I still don't feel all that well, just to make up for the lost hrs.

fuglystick 02-04-2009 08:02 AM

Drivers who stop in the middle of the road to talk to someone on the street or another passing car, stopping traffic. I'm a patient driver, but that pegs out my road rage meter.

And people who use "good" when they mean "well." Watching interviews with athletes is almost impossible, as they will inevitably say sometime during the interview that "the offense/defense played good." It's like nails on a chalkboard.

I'm sick of all these Planet X 2012 Doomsday predictions. Atleast y2k had some sort of a feasable reason that banks might have a hard time with the transition. But how in the Hell is a giant red planet going come flying in from the outer reaches of the galaxy, and is only 5 years away, but we can't see it yet. Besides, the bullshit behind planets aligning and the Myans predictions of doom are completely nonexistent. And the religious fanatics who are jumping on the bandwagon like it's going to be God's way of punishing all the sinners on Earth- go blow it out your ass!

I was beyond annoyed the other day when supervisor told me crocs were inappropriate to wear to work. I would have been able to see her point if it wasn't for the fact she told me this wearing knee high hooker boots and a skirt with a slit up to her twot. You want to talk about inappropriate, no one should be wearing that, and especially not when you're pregnant. But yet I'm the one getting written up for violating the dress code. Yeah, that makes sense.

Who see I hate crocs. They are ugly and unless you are a gardener or beach comber by profession I think they are inappropriate, but to write you up? That is ridiculous (unless you work in construction or with heavy machinery). Do they let people wear uggs? Or flat shoes with little to no tread? Cause those are just as bad.
