Topic Rant


There are people who you meet, in the street or online, who, at first, make you smile and think, "Wow. This person rocks and being buddies with them is gonna rock." The next time you see them, you mention something you like and that you really put alot of your faith/devotion/whatever into your liking for it. The person you thought was so cool then proceeds to shoot it down because, of course, their opoinions are RIGHT and that person is GOD and you suck because you're the only one defending this thing that you like.
Okay. It's a fluke. You can still work it out as long as you give this subject a wide berth and nobody gets hurt. Right? Of course not. The day after that, you mention something you're SURE without a doubt this person is going to agree with you on. Bang bang bang. And then they go even farther with it, saying this sucks and that sucks and that they know more about it than you ever will, so of course they're right and you're wrong. And as soon as you open your mouth, they say "Sorry. I win. :)" and the subject is dropped.

I don't know about anyone else- I personally prefer to have a chance to get an opinion in edgewise once in awhile. I can't stand people who dismiss everything that doesn't apply to their interests as a "losing idea," the ones so fond of the "Sorry, I win :)" ploy. THE WORLD IS NOT AN OLYMPIC MEDAL, PEOPLE! GET OVER IT! COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER AND LEAVE US LOSERS ALONE!

I know some people have to do this in order to feel better about themselves, but cheese! There are other ways, you know. I'm sorry if I happen to be an old-fashioned hippie oddity with the "make-love-not-war" mentality. I know alot of people can't grasp that sort of concept. But they should st least look for people like them to do that with and at least make it a challenge, you know?

It's not like I enjoy being a quiet doormat by nature, but someday I hope I do snap and commit mass murder in order to kill every competitive, holier-than-thou, "godly" prick in the world. Then us meek little losers can go about cleaning up the messes their contests left behind and make things work again.

And I will bet you every penny in my pocket that I have to type this rant out a second time because Bill Gates is a competetitive little prick who screwed up his prize.
