Amazing how I rant all the time, yet now that it's anything goes I just can't think of anything. Let me think...*looks at most recent post* Letters, eh...letters...AH!
I freakin' HATE silent letters! Seriously, what is the point of putting a letter in a word if you're not going to use it in the pronunciation? I know sometimes spellings get carried over from languages that DO use the letters, but that just raises the question of WHY ARE WE KEEPING THEM IN THERE!!?? All they do is just cause confusion when spelling them out, they're so incredibly pointless that it just baffles me!

'L'saved my life and made me the man I am today. If it weren't for 'L' I wouldn't be in command of 100 elite soldiers as I currently am. I will wage war on the Anti-'L' resistance with all the men under my command!wizzerd229 said:

That what I like to call "Emotional Echoes", you are pining for old emotions rather than the person you had them for.TheGreatCoolEnergy said:
I have a rant on broken keyboards.
My laptop broke last month, a certain key just magically stopped working. Like it died of a heart attack or something, if it was ANY other letter it wouldn't be so bad because I could ctrl V it whenever I needed. But the broken letter was V! This was fucking terrible since I'm a drawer and I copy paste a lot (not like tracing lol) so to get a V I had to use the goddamn right click->copy. So really, this was a rant against Murphy's Law.

...Come to think of it, that actually does a really great job of descibing how I'm thinking. You must be like a Genie or soemthing rofl.IrirshTerrorist said:
Libertarians are bothering me at the moment. They tend to be tremendously ignorant people who are all for the idea of a smaller government but tend to not notice the many, many purposes government plays beyond the more obvious roles. They act as though infrastructure just sprouts out of the ground on its own and that the quality of imports, food production, textiles etc. regulate themselves just fine. When raising this point with Libertarians, they struggle to find a way for ordinary people to implement things like a sewage system or toxin control without getting a unified government to do it for them. Idiots.
Plus there is the general arrogance of the whole thing. Libertarians assert that they are all for self-sufficiency and bettering oneself, as though these are qualities alien to non-libertarians. There is the assumption that if a welfare system is in place, everyone will be tempted to sponge off of it, and will not bother to work for the better of themselves or society. They seem to lack the imagination that someone, somewhere might actually need the welfare that is provided - otherwise the government wouldn't implement the welfare system in the first fucking place. Dumbasses. Sad, superior dumbasses. Sad, superior dumbasses who believe that one should not only be ashamed of oneself for having to rely on others, but should prevent everyone from being able to, regardless of their circumstances.

Well, the letter "H" gave me command of 200 men, and i will tell you, they are 10 times beter than your men, we will defeat you. HA HA HAIrirshTerrorist said:
I'm so tired of people thinking I'm a bitter asshole because I don't talk. Listen, you bastards, I don't talk often because 99% of all conversations are about nothing of substance, and unlike all you gifted motherfuckers who seem to have the gift of speaking at great length without saying a thing, I do not have such a gift. I'd appreciate if you stopped treating me like an outcast just because I can't go on for forty seven minutes about my favorite fucking color. This is madness!
