Ok..So today I was bored...and I needed a good rant. I don't think theres a thread about this already...so here it is Today I was in 8th period Health class...and this girl was going on and on about how hott the guys from Good Charlotte were. I had a teenie attack. I was going crazy while she just sat there, not talking about their songs, but talking about how Joel and Benji were so0o0o0o cute and this and that. Maybe I'm wrong for overheating when she was talking about them...but I didn't say anything to her. I just really don't understand how a person can listen to a band...not know the meaning of any of their songs and how their feeling...and just care about their looks. [/end teenie rant] So post any thoughts you have on any rants or if you have one post it here
We're allowed to have a 'rant' thread? This could get a bit personal for some people or while ranting, other members could attack eachother... . If this is a reasonable thread, then I suggest we all show some major respect in this thread...
Oh I feel this thread will be really useful some days . My rant of the day : People never see they risk to be addicted, even if it's one of their friends telling them....
Heres my rant, and I think a lot of you can relate to this one. I'm so freaking sick of these people that think they have depression over the simplest things. They dont know what its like to be TRULY depressed, when I and I know some of you here do. People go and get depressed and say they want to kill themselves over the dumbest things, like getting dumped or some sh*t, and thats one of the dumbest things ever. I hate all of these posers around who say they are something theyre not and I truly am. I have depression, I admit it, I'm on 3 different medicines, and I dont try and put friggin guilt trips on people for it. I have that common courtesy that I dont. I am so sick of all of these people.....I just cant stand it..... Woo....that felt good to get out.
This thread will be allowed, as long a few small rules are followed. :// Rules For Ranting in This Thread. \\: 1. No disrespect towards other people's beliefs, religions, race or favorite band. If someone likes a band you don't, that does not give you the right to go on about how much they suck. (However; rants against teenie-boppers are allowed as even LPA does not welcome sexual thoughts about the band on these forums. We used to ban teenie boppers on sight). 2. Keep it clean and mature. Rants are intended to be releases of anger, but that does not give you the right to make your post "look like ####in this because you ####in cursed too ####in much." It looks absolutely ridiculous and is a strain on the readers' eyes, so do yourself a favor and look mature. 3. If you disagree with someone's rant, or someone disagrees with your rant, BE NICE about it. Do not cause a fight in this thread or an all out flame war, be mature in your response. If you wish to disagree but cannot say it in a nice and polite way, then save yourself a warning and don't post the reply. -- With that in mind, go ahead and rant everyone . Just keep it polite, respectful and clean.
My "rant": I hate it when people try to get pitty compliments. Don't do it...it makes yourself look worse. If someone compliments you on their own, that's awesome, smile or laugh and say thanks, but don't pressure them into giving you a compliment just so you feel good about yourself when they don't actually mean it and only do it to make you feel good.
I agree Bryan. I like compliments. But if someone were to just compliment me to make me feel better and not mean it. I would just feel bad. It means more when they really mean it. If someone just says something to me just to make me feel better, it'll actually make me feel bad. I don't like people pitying me. I hate it. And whats funny, I'm thinking everyone in my school that knows what I've been through is pitying me. I mean, all the sudden I come back to school and everyone is like "Hey !!! How are you doing!?!?". People whom probably didn't even know how to say my name correctly before I came back. Also, at times, pity can sort of lead me on. I hate that. Makes me think things than I find out their not true. It just makes me feel bad. It really saddens me. I try my best to not get lead on now. Its hard though. I'm very gullible. I just wish people don't pity me and like me for who I am. Not what I am or have.
I've got a rant, I don't want to slag LP or anything but I feel like Canada is getting shunned through all the touring. Maybe it's Warner Bros' fault, but Canadian fans are unappreciated by their touring managers. In 3 years since Hybrid Theory's release, LP have been to Canada about 7-10 times. Twice they didn't have a choice because they were with Ozzfest (their tour manager doens't decide ozzfest dates), and maybe Metallica decided to come up here on Summer Sanitarium so LP had to come (again, out of their control). I don't think LP are doing this on purpose but I think Warner Bros and LP's management need to notice that Hybrid Theory is 4x platinum, Reanimation is 1x platinum and Meteora is 3x platinum. That's 8x platinum with 3 albums, or 800,000 people out of 30,000,000. These stats show that for every 38 people in Canada, someone owns a copy of their cd's. (Platinum = 100,000 copies sold in Canada). I certainly hope that this long wait will transfer into a full Canada-wide (and I mean, coast to coast) tour. Province to province, not just a tour of the huge cities like Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. Here's hoping. Sadly, I don't see it happening anytime soon. After the Spring 2004 tour ends in March, Chester gets surgery, LP starts recording a new album. Then they'll tour the US and Europe to promote after the album it finished. I can't see anything until Summer 2005, which is really too bad.
Im not sure how many people can relate to this but, Im a very nice person. I care about others feelings and whatnot, i try not to make people mad. I pretty much walk on eggshells for others. but people dont notice it. Instead they talk krap about how im a welcome mat and how weak i am, but they dont know, they dont know what im capable of. They dont know that if they press the wrong button i will do my best to end their life. i have had enough of people taking advantage of me. people dont stop to notice me. they dont notice how much i care. they just ignore me like im the concrete that keeps them moving, like im the air that keeps them living, like im just a rose without its petals.. and then they have the nerve to make fun of me and lash out at me when they're mad, what did i do to you?? why dont you care? why dont you see? why are you so blind???? </rant> im just going to end it there cause i can go on forever...
My Rant What is it with people these days, people will only talk to you if you have ten million friends, or are popular or beautiful or whatever. At school I am always alone, I don't have any friends because they don't understand me. They like pop music and I don't so they make a big deal and make an excuse to fight with me. Another reason to fight, because on out of uniform day I turned up in a tartan skirt, black mesh top and fingerless gloves....They seem to have a problem with that. Maybe I am the numb girl on the inside, except we are different because she tries to fit in and I don't care if I do because I am my own person and though people try to change me, I'll just say 'Screw You' but people that try to change you are untrustworthy. Now I am finished this it sounds like a big load of crap that makes no sense.......
Here's my rant: I absolutely hate labels. The more I think about them, the more I hate them. Labels are so common to teens but sadly some people will never grow out of them. In school, there always has to be the popular one, the smart one, the freaky one, the goth, the nerdy one, etc. - it makes me sick. If you don't fit into one group, then everyone else shuns you. If you wear the wrong shoes or the wrong brand of clothes, people start writing you off. What's more, labels aren't just confined to people. They also apply to music. All these stupid arguments about whether Linkin Park have gone "pop" or whether Good Charlotte are really "punk". Who the hell cares. It's funny how if you search for a band on Amazon.com, any music that's not classical music falls into the category "popular music". That means Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Don McClean, Michael Jackson, Madonna and even Dimmu Borgir are all in the same boat. That may be very narrow categorization but it's true: why should it matter whether a band belongs to such-and-such genre. As long as they make good music, I'll listen. And now, people have created two labels that are being way overused: "sell-out" and "poser". Yes, I hate those too. Labels are stupid. And real people don't need them.
I hate bad drivers, either they just suck at driving or are too nice. Like today I was coming home from somewhere, it's kinda hard to explain what the street is layed out like in words, but what you have is a shopping center with 2 exits onto a little side road that takes you onto a main road. One exit is behind a McDonalds, the other is in front. Anyways, there's a stoplight where the side road and main road intersect. The left turn arrow lasts like 10 seconds and the red light is a good 3 minutes, so obviously, you'd want to get past the intersection when you have a chance. Anyways, me and this ####### in front of me are going out the back exit of the parking lot (behind Micky Ds). And the jerk in front of me sees a green arrow, so of course he should go so I and a few others can get through, but no, instead he desides to let 3 people from the front exit go in front of him. Now, being nice to other drivers is a good thing, but not when others are waiting behind you. Well, as the light turns yellow and he's letting people go through, I hit the horn. So instead of taking the hint that me and many others behind me are pissed and finally going through the intersection, he lets more people go in front of him and then proceeds to give me the finger and a few other hand gestures. I do the same. And then thanks to this ass, I get home 5 minutes later than I could of. Then, old people and cars, a bad combination. They go way to slow and don't know where the hell they're going. One 90 year old lady suddenly realizes she's in the wrong lane when the lane makes a right turn onto a highway. So, she stops to wait to get into the left lane. And of course, Im behind her and have to get onto the highway......
I AGREE. I was in the truck with my friend(he was driving) and we were getting ready to go through a light(it was green) and this guy in front of us was literally going 20 mph in a 35 mph zone, and he was going straight. There were no cars in front of him so there was no point in going that slow. We finally get up far enough to go into the turning lane and right before we got up beside him I stick my head out the window getting ready to yell. I give him the finger and yelled some select things. I then actually saw it was an 80+ year old man. I felt a little bad that I yelled at an old man, but oh well. Another thing I hate about that sometimes is when people drive so close to you. If you're a smart driver you know where cops usually sit so you go the speed limit so you don't get busted. But they don't care they just drive 5 feet away from you going 40 mph. So since i'm an as*hole, I like to slow way down and drive like that for a little while then just suddently stomp on it. I love looking into the rear view mirror and seeing them just "drift" away.
My dad did that the other day. The girl behind him was so close that he couldn't see her headlights in his rearview mirror, so he started going slower and slower. We came to a railroad crossing and went over it as slow as we could. She started to pass us. Here's several laws she broke: 1. Tailgating my dad's truck. 2. Passing on railroad tracks. 3. Passing on a double-yellow line. 4. Passing with oncoming traffic. 5. Speeding after she got in front of us. 6. Pulling out in front of traffic. She pulled into the school parking lot and when I got out, I heard my dad scream, "Go back to f***ing driving school because you f***ing suck." She flipped him off and I walked up to her and bitched her out.
I forgot about this one time... I was driving and this guy was driving on my ass so I slowed down to piss him off. He then attempted to pass me but I sped up so he had to drop back behind me again. I gave him the middle finger and when he went to pass me again I pulled out my 9mm and shot him in the face.

I think there should be tickets given out for driving too slow. Also, people over 80 should have a license renewal (drivers test and eye exam) every 6-months to a year. They're one of the leading causers of crashes and they're also leading road rage victims because people are so angry that they're going so slow. It annoys me to hell when you can't see a car for football fields away and these old drivers are too stunned to even notice that they can leave. I'd swear they stop to let ant colonies cross roads, it's dumb.
