    Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

    I really want to scream. So I have my car back after the wreck since June and somehow someone has scratched my car. This is not dirt. I did not do this to my car. It is right above my my drivers side door. So now I have to wait till I can get some money saved up to fix it. I can't believe people can be such assholes and won't leave at least some kind of note. Ugh!

      My brother-in-law was the victim of a hit and run yesterday. Some good samaritans took pictures and left a note with the details and license plate for him. He was lucky that way. It didn't wreck his car, it's still driveable, but both the front side panel/bumper area and the passenger door are busted in and scratched up. So... it can always be worse?

      I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
      It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
      Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

        I will never eat Chick-Fil-A because they discriminate LGBT people. I don't care how good their food is and I also don't care what their religious belief is. But if you can't accept everybody in your restaurant then you will lose your business. That's all I'm saying.

          I've been boycotting Chik-Fil-A for a long time. Shame, because it is a decent product for fast food, and they give out books in their kid meals.

          What really got me though was when Papa John decided that Chik-Fil-A got great publicity for their stance, and decided to jump on the bandwagon for attention. At least with the Chik-Fil-A people, it seems to be a genuine attempt to comply with a deeply held belief, even if I think they are wrong. But discriminating against people for publicity is just sickening.

            A Facebook friend told me that Chick-Fil-A accepted everyone if just the CEO who follows Christian beliefs.

              Ok, I just don't understand why people on another internet forum are making a big deal all because that I criticized Avengers: Infinity War. I just speak my honest opinion that it was a bad movie and they all acted like complete crybabies over it and I was very open to having a discussion about the movie which some people say that I wasn't open at all. Like what more do these babies want me to say here. Avengers: Infinity War was a bad movie and I stand by that.

                Do not shop with actively bleeding cuts on your hands. If your hands get cut while shopping, stop, notify someone of what you've bled on and bandage your ****ing cuts. I do not enjoy damaging out multiple items in rapid succession due to surprise bloodstains.
                life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

                Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

                "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

                "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

                  I specifically went down to Planet Hollywood casino to buy some Garret's popcorn mix. Their machine was broken and had run out! I'm so disappointed. They got 5 more days to fix it!

                    You have to remember that people have the right to disagree with you. Just like you have the right to disagree with them. I think it was actually a good movie, but I did not like how it ended. The ending is what got me. I think some of the characters deaths were also unneeded. However, I did like the movie.

                      I understand that and disagreements happen all the time. My whole point is that people doesn't respect the differences of opinions and make a big deal out of it.

                        Some people can be that way unfortunately. Just let it roll off your back.

                            I have cramps. I want to die.
                            Long version: I have cramps so bad I took 800 mg of Motrin and took a 'nap'. You know when you go to sleep to escape pain?
                            Yeah, one of those naps.
                            My cramps is day 4 of a period that feels sneakily too heavy to be my last day, as usual.
                            This is day 17 of my cycle when I'm exactly a 28 day cycle.
                            And last month was on the dot on time. The one before that? I have no idea where that period went. Not anywhere in this universe.
                            I believe I'm at the start of early perimenopause.
                            I don't like having anything with my health 'irregular'. I gives me extreme anxiety as I think everything is CANCER.

                            This is no bueno.

                              Ok. I was just sharing a post on Facebook about a bill passed on Iran saying that fathers marry their own daughters and one of my friend ask me what this about. So I said read the article and he asks what the title. Like in my mind that guy is an idiot. So I told him about what is about. And he asks me is it real or fake. I told him I don't know if it's real or fake. And he said it fake and he wants me to delete my post. I said to this knucklehead. This is my post and I will do no such thing. If you at least read the article instead of asking me an idiotic question then you should know. And also I'm not going to delete my post. The nerve for some people.

                                BH-

                                There is an awful lot of malicious misleading content on the internet about members of certain groups. I have certainly seen blatant lies about Muslims before. I would also verify before spreading this article. Iran absolutely has some bad laws, but I wouldn't want to mislead anyone about this kind of thing. Real people suffer real discrimination when we don't check this kind of story. I find it hard to believe that you would support any kind of discrimination against cultural or religious groups. It seems the very opposite of what you say on a regular basis. If it is true, it is terrible. But a story that has been passed around Facebook is not always the best source of information.

                                Okay. Edited to say that I did try to find this information, and I found credible reports from 2013 that such a bill was moving forward in the Iranian legislature. The law regards adopted daughters of young teen age. Supporters insisted that this was simply to circumnavigate hijab laws. Detractors insisted that this is abhorrent to Iranian culture, and were pushing for a language banning such marriages. I did not find a credible source regarding the outcome and current status. Anyone? My apologies BH.
