Old Site’s Rants
These are all the rants I wrote many years ago for the old version(s) of my site; some of these are up to 7 years old.
Strange how my opinions of shit changes over time, but also how some stay the same. lolz.
Note: Many of these are, like I said, old as SHIT. They’re not currently what I think/believe, they’re more here for nostalgic purposes.
eBay is for Retards
Why does eBay attract such retards? 99% of them seem to think that “L@@K” is a word, there is an s in licence and that WE CAN ALL READ TEXT THAT IS COMPLETELY IN CAPS WITH NO PUNCUTATION SPELLING OR GRAMMER OR PARAGRAPHS.
Jesus fucking shit learn to spell, its like reading a 12year olds work or something. Also, put a decent description of your item, it might help you sell it if people know what the hell you’re trying to sell.
Computer Snobs
I read a Slashdot article on this not so long ago, so I thought I’d give my views on the subject.
90% of advanced computer users are complete and utter snobs. They think that everyone should automatically know what they do, and think what they think. This is a nightmare for a novice user, as they tend to go to the advanced users for help when they are stuck. This is a typical example:
Novice: How do I install *program name*
Advanced: RTFM
N: I have, but the problem I have isn’t in there
A: omfg, foad already, come back when you’ve read the manual
N: I *have* read the manual..
A: fucking n00bs! go learn to how to program and come back retard
How exactly is this helping? And advanced users wonder why most of them are social outcasts, and why they’re constantly insulted with names such as “geek”.
I recently tried to install some software on my server, some software I was unfamiliar with. I went onto the software’s website, read the readme files etc. downloaded the source and got the required dependencies. I installed the dependencies; this went fine, until I came to install the program itself. It came up with an error, so I did some research on Google, read the manual etc. all to no avail. So I went to an IRC room and asked there, and all I got was “RTFM” “omg your dumb, go learn how to program” and all the usual shit. I got it working eventually, after mass editing of Makefiles and some moving of libraries etc. All completely unnecessary, as if I’d have been given a sensible answer in the first place I wouldn’t have had to go through all that shit.
Computer snobs seem to expect that *every* computer user should be able to program their computers and know the inner most workings of them. This is complete crap, 99% of people use computers as a tool; much like cars or home electrical devices. Am I to understand that only mechanics are allowed to drive, only chefs can cook etc? This is absolutely absurd. A large amount of people who drive can probably drive well, but wouldn’t have a clue how to do anything more complicated than change their oil, or replace their screen wash. Gone are the days in the 80s or so when everyone who used a computer knew exactly what every command did, how to program in basic and so on. 90% of people have a computer to make their lives easier, to stay in contact with friends who have moved on etc. Not to spend hours compiling software, or tinkering.
Nowadays it is considered “to technical” to click setup.exe and keep clicking next. Computer users couldn’t give a shit whether Firefox has tabbed browsing, or is faster than IE or whatever. People only care if their software works or not. Also, try explaining to a novice user why Firefox is better, they’ll get confused, and probably bored. If they get bored they won’t listen to you, and just keep saying “yeah” every few seconds. If you want to get your point across advanced users, you’ll have to realise these points and more.
Healthy Eating in Schools
Ah yes, another one of the British governments action plans, or some crap like that. Let’s get all the kiddies to eat healthy food. Excellent idea, there are way to many fat kids around. Fat kids piss me off.
So, they got all the schools to randomly start forcing kids to eat healthy food, sounds like a good idea in practice, until you look into it deeper. Now, for most of these fat retards lives, their parents have been feeding them shit food. Kids don’t like change, so when all of a sudden they’re forced into eating healthy food, they don’t like it and kick up a fuss, kids kicking up a fuss pisses me off also, fucking brats.
You can give kids healthy food all you want at school. But that’s not going to help if as soon as it hits 3:30, mummy comes along, takes them home and stops off at MacDonald’s or something, and fills their system with more shit. Thus completely wasting all that time spent at school making them eat healthy. Yay.
Kids like sweet things, salad and crap isn’t sweet, kids won’t eat it, so what happens? Kids don’t eat school food, become ill or something and then the parents sue the school or something for making their kids ill. Hooray government, way to go.
Shit like this is just a way for parents to deny responsibility for their kids. Show them a goddamn treadmill for god’s sake. Fat fucks.
TV Ads That Piss Me Off
”Debt free” ads on TVThese are brilliant, no? Let’s solve all of your problems by one of two ways, either declare yourself bankrupt or solve your debts with yet another debt. Let’s look at the latter first.
Ah, excellent idea there! lets replace all those debts with another one! Yay. Of course, the reason you got into debt in the first place was loans, so taking out another isn’t really going to help you now is it?
Or, our other genius suggestion, declare yourself bankrupt. Sounds good at first, until you realise being declared bankrupt does shit all for your creditability. Want a loan for a car, insurance or credit to go on holiday? Whoops you can’t since everyone sees you declared yourself bankrupt, and sees you as a dumbass who can’t handle money properly.
So how about you don’t get into debt in the first place? Like not spend so much? Or don’t buy a stupidly large car that you don’t need etc? Some people shouldn’t be allowed credit cards 
What is it with everyone nowadays? Everyone is suing everyone left right and centre. People are refusing to accept responsibility for their actions .
For example, one of the most common compensation ads on TV is the “I wasn’t given the right kind of ladder at work, so I did the job anyway and broke my neck”. Congratulations dumbass, you’re suing your employer because you’re stupid? K. If you’re not given the right equipment for the job, you don’t do it. Simple. It’s not rocket science for god’s sake.
Ahh… some of these are so great. There’s your “normal” ads, which make sense, and look professional, then there’s the odd plain retarded one. Like the one where they’re looking in the jungle for a blue elephant, which of course, has *everything* to do with insurance, or the one with the guy dressed in bright green and yellow, who dances around in a farmyard singing about happy days. How exactly is that meant to create a professional image for your company, or is that the point? Are you aiming at the really stupid people with the IQ of a dishcloth? LOL Yes that’s it, that’s the only feasible explanation
Fuck the Welfare State
Looks like labour finally decided to cut benefits to lazy-ass mofos, I mean er…. “Unemployed” people.
ABOUT FUCKING TIMEWhy the fuck should good working people pay for some twats who decide that they just don’t feel like working and that the rest of the working populace should pay for them to live in nice warm houses so they can sit there and watch TV everyday? Fuck that. Want to sit around and do nothing? Fine, so long as you don’t scrounge from other people. You want money? Well guess what? WORK! It’s what I do, my friends do, and everyone else who has some form of brain cells generally do. I’m fine with the disabled people, or whatever, if you can’t work than yah, that’s not your fault. But if you just can’t be fucking bothered to work, then stop scrounging.
This country has turned into a nanny state, where no one has to take responsibility over what they do anymore. Cross the road without looking and get injured due to stupidity? Awww, here you go, have some money for it.
In the words of Lenny from the Simpsons:
It’s a lottery to award stupidity
This country should also stop giving away money for having kids. It’s a fucking stupid idea, one minutes they’re complaining about there being too much teenage pregnancy, then the next thing you know they’re paying fucking 16yr olds who come straight out of school, go get fucked, and become pregnant, sit in some council house all their godamn life having more kids than rabbits, and getting paid thousands of pounds a year in benefits for the privilege. Fuck off, get a job and stop having loads of kids for fucks sake.
This countries benefits/pensions system is struggling to cope as it is, OAPs are struggling to afford to eat and live, whilst lazy ass retards are sitting in their nice warm homes watching TV all day when they could be working, it’s fucking disgusting, the money should go to the old people who have worked all their lives, and continue to pay in tax for these kinds of people. It should be the other way around .
The government needs to stop giving the money to these retards, and start giving it to things that actually need funding, like pensions, the NHS and the education system, which in turn should help out here, it’ll teach these lazy ass kids to do something with their life instead of sucking money out of people who shouldn’t be paying for their incompetence.
And while I’m at it, fuck the EU. This country isn’t England anymore, it’s “New Poland-stan” I can go for hours at work and not hear any English voices, send the people back home; it’s costing us a fortune.
Stupid Lazy Ass Country
So, picture this, it’s Russia, in Siberia or something, middle of January, its 40 below outside and its 3 feet deep in snow. Everything is fine; everyone is working, going to school. Life is good. Now, let’s go to England, where we’ve just had half an inch of snow.
It’s 8 in the morning and already there’s chaos everywhere, Traffic jams because no one wants to drive at a decent speed because of the snow. Schools are closed because teachers can’t get to school because of said traffic jams. Children everywhere are screaming like insane little fools “OMG SNOW!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMG LETS GO SNOWBALL FIGHTING!!!!!” Trains everywhere have ground to a halt because of this half in of snow, which for some reason means that the trains can’t move… or something, I don’t know; I guess that the lazy ass British rail staff needed an excuse to slack off even more. Planes have also stopped flying, because despite the fact it’s 40 below up at 30000 feet, a tiny bit of snow on the runway means that planes are unable to fly, why? Because this country is full of pussies.
This week, we had some fog, not all that much to be honest, but still enough to make seeing difficult. So I’d have thought that it would be a simple case of drivers slowing down a little, so that they didn’t drive into each other like the usually do, and people in general being more careful. No, you guessed it, the country decided to stop working completely. Planes stopped flying, because despite the fact they have all this sophisticated radar and auto pilot equipment, just the tiniest bit of fog makes it totally impossible to fly.
The fuck is with this country? Only 40 or so years ago, fog, snow, blizzards and tonnes of other freak weather conditions were common place, and people coped. Why is it that many years later we are unable to cope with the tiniest of issues? A few mm more rain than usual and roads are closed, half an inch of snow sees half the country shut down, and the place goes into complete madness. It’s not like modern cars can’t drive through that tiny bit of snow, if anything I’d think that people would be more willing, with their nice air conditioning and enough in car entertainment to keep the average 4yr old happy for years. But no. if it requires more than half an hours effort, or being away from home or work for more than an hour, people don’t want to know, its too much work. Awww.
God help us when climate change *really* kicks in
Complication
This is only going to be short, but meh screw it.
Why is it that today everything is so Godamn complicated? Everything has to have a million and one options . Like the other day, I’m at a coffee machine at college.
There was about 5 million buttons on the thing, I had a choice of espresso, double espresso, cappuccino, mocha, mocha latte and god knows what else. And this was just a coffee machine, WTF would it be like if you go to a coffee shop? Why is everything so complicated? I wanted a cup of coffee, and just that.
Why couldn’t there just be 2 buttons on the machine? Black and white. (O NOES RACIST!!11)
It’s not just coffee machines, everything has a million and one options and uses, the average mobile phone has more uses than water
Silly world.
I’m Sick of this PC Mess
I’m getting sick to death of living in this poor excuse for a country, this poor excuse for a “democracy”.
Recently there seems to have been a complete explosion in this country of crime, mostly gang related and such.
Every time I read the paper at work nowadays I read stories of innocent people being murdered or seriously injured for doing nothing, or for telling kids off for making too much noise.
What the fuck is wrong with this country? Why can’t you walk down the street without constantly looking around in case someone’s following you, or some gang of people is at the end of the street ready to pounce on you because you looked at them?
People say many things are to blame; parents, alcohol, schools, lack of stuff for kids to do, the kids being insane, the police, and the government.
I’ll tell you what it is. All of them
Parents are to blame because they’re having kids without thinking about it, having kids because of one night stands, and generally not thinking at all about what they’re letting themselves into. Consequently we’re ending up with kids who haven’t had a “proper” upbringing, where they’ve been knocked between parent’s that either don’t care or don’t know how to care for them. They’re not taught right from wrong; they’re not told that hitting people etc is wrong.
Alcohol is to blame because kids can get hold of it too easily, because again, parents will buy it for them, or not care that they’re drinking. The kids drink because literally, there is *nothing* else to do when you’re 15. You can’t get a job, can’t drive, can’t go to a club, you can’t do anything. The little things that there were to do when I was a kid have been shutdown due to money problems etc. School fields are fenced off so kids can’t play football in them. So what do they do? Do the only that there is left to do, drink and sit on street corners. Many people say that alcohol is 100% of the problem, that because it’s really cheap it’s the problem. Bullshit, if you go to France, Italy, Spain etc, their alcohol is far, far cheaper than ours, and in some cases the age you need to be to buy the stuff is lower. Yet they don’t have these issues with 15year olds going around being drunk and causing problems. Why? Because kids there are taught respect, they justice system works, their police force works. Ours doesn’t.
The police can’t do shit about these kids because of their age, and these kids know it, they know they’re untouchable, they know that the most they’ll get under 18 is a caution. Even if they were 18, the police spend so much of their time doing fucking paperwork that they’re too busy to do what their freaking job is supposed to be. FIGHTING CRIME . Instead they’re giving tonnes of paperwork each time they make an arrest, you can’t arrest women without a female police officer around, just in case….WTF?
This country over the last 50 or so years has gone slowly softer and softer and softer on crime. It wasn’t so long ago that if you committed a crime you’d actually get a prison sentence, not some pussy community service of litter picking or some shit, or a suspended sentence (the most useless punishment ever btw). We need to bring back the death penalty, and kill off retards who commit murder, rape, child molestation and any other fucked up crimes. And for those that aren’t quite serious enough, perhaps some good old fashioned decent prison sentences of a decent amount of time. Including some lashes from a whip, like they have in Asian countries, but oh wait, can’t do that, that’s “an intrusion of their human rights”.
I’m sorry…Human rights? Murderers? Rapists? Hahaha. As far as I’m concerned you shouldn’t have any if you’re a convicted criminal. Prison should be a harsh punishment, not a holiday.
You should sit in a small room, with a small window for air. You should eat barely enough food to keep you alive, There will be *NO* TV, no radio, no games, no smoking. At night you sleep, in they day you do something useful for society, like building roads. Like they used to before the PC mob came along and decided that that wasn’t allowed.
That way people might actually think twice about committing crimes, they might think twice before they attack that old person, or think twice before they plunge the knife into that guy that tried to stop them attacking a kid.
Then we should set about deporting foreigners who come here and commit crime, or better still, adopt an Australian style immigration policy. If you’re useful to us, please come in, so long as you pay your taxes and be nice. If you’re coming here to scrounge, or whatever, then please, fuck off back to Afghanistan or Somalia. Why does this country always have to take on everyone else’s problems?
And back to the subject of kids having nothing to do… How about we stop fencing off fields, stop building houses on them? So that the kids have somewhere to play football, have somewhere safe to ride their bikes and somewhere to call their own.
Now onto actually preventing crime, as well as having a justice system that works, we should also think about employing some police officers, not fake ones, or “community support officers”, which as far as I can see, are just traffic wardens with a nice Hat. They can’t arrest people, or hand out cautions, or anything that I would call useful. So why do they exist? Simple, they’re cheaper to train, and aren’t paid as much. It’s as much of a false economy as hospitals employing “care assistants” instead of nurses. Sure they’re cheaper, so you get more for the same amount of money, but they don’t have the skills of nurses, don’t perform the same duties, so in fact, they’re’ just a waste, since you need nurses anyway.
And now onto the genius subject, CCTV. It has been said that this country, this small country has TWO THIRDS of the worlds CCTV cameras. That’s just insane. But my question is, what are they doing? The government claim that they prevent crime, but that’s bullshit clearly. If they did, we’d have 0 crimes seeing as we have millions of them, which we don’t. All I can see they’re doing is watching the innocent, and catching people speeding.
For example, if tomorrow night when I left work I stabbed someone in the car park I’d have a pretty good chance of getting away with nothing. Yet I bet if went down the road at 32MPH I’d get caught for it, and probably fined. It would be quick and efficient; the case would be settled in days. Yet a murder comes along, and it takes cops years to solve, despite having all these cameras… You’d think that they’d catch offenders once in a while eh?
So in summarisation:
Let no one into the country that isn’t useful to us.
Kick out *all* foreign prisoners.
Kick out *all* illegal immigrant.
Get rid of the Human rights act, at least in its current form.
Kill all prisoners convicted of murder, paedophile offences and rape, or at least castrate them.
Get rid of the bureaucratic shit when it comes to paperwork with police officers, they’re supposed to fight crime, hire some secretaries for that.
Hire some cops.
Build some more prisons; get rid of their rights, their TV, and their decent food.
Stop handing out stupid punishments for crime. From now on the only punishment for any crime shall be at least 5years in prison.
Give the kids something to do; a good idea would be to lower the age at which you can get a job. At least then they’d have something to do with their time.
Get rid of CCTV cameras if they’re not doing something semi useful.
And there we have it, a list of things that in my view would make this country semi decent 
.
This country used to be great, now we’re just a laughing stock of the rest of the world, a soft nation, where it’s great to go if you want to commit crime.
Get me outta here… Now.
