    Understandable. I was not picking my words rightly. I was frustrated. And mean no disrespect towards your beliefs thoughts or view points.

    so delete if you feel the need.

    And I am not saying this with any anger or scarcaism or anything ill natured. I was just trying to not snap at people in my real life and chose the wrong way to post it. At the time I wasnt thinking of it. If I wrote it out pen to paper they would just stand over my shoulder and read. Deleted it move it. I apologize for having to see me scream.

      For the most part it isn't a major issue. We just prefer rants that you aren't intentionally pushing for a discussion to go to rants, it keeps them consolidated instead of in several hundred mini-threads. I have a secondary reason in that, I expect rants at unspecified individuals who don't necessarily have anything to do with PF in the various rant threads. People (myself included though you can't necessarily see all of mine without special permissions), use them for that all the time. Since that specific kind of post doesn't show up normally outside the rant threads, I start racking my brain for who or what on the forum you're talking about if I see threads dedicated to it.

      Also, I have no plans to delete this. It's a rant, they happen. I will probably merge it with the normal rant thread though in a few hours.
      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

          No, you misunderstand. Science isn't a belief. You can't say "I don't believe in the laws of physics", or "I don't believe in thermodynamics". I mean, you can, but then you're a crazy person. Science isn't my belief. Science is fact. Science is theory. Science is natural law. What I found offensive, was your dismissive nature towards science. "Oh, you believe in science, well...have fun with that. You loopy F***." - that's how it sounded. As though your belief in mystical juju is better than the theory of science, the theory of our natural life.

            Soooo many people are diabetic or pre-diabetic. I'm sure your new boss will have some awareness & consideration. We've got about 10 people w/it at our front desk (I don't know what the overall stats for diabetes are, but at our front desk it seems to be about 1 in 8) - and no one bats an eye when they run to the break room to stuff food in their faces or do a finger-stick

                    Re: I dont like people

                    I'm torn.

                    1. This is a rant, so we tend to say all sorts of things in anger just to vent and be spiteful and to be on our own side.


                    2. Technically science does change because people's understanding of science changes. We can only be as smart as we are at present time. We can only take for fact something we can prove now. And of course hundreds of years ago science looked a lot different. Take alchemy. It was 'believed' to be 'true'. We now know it isn't. So technically...technically I wouldn't care. But I tend not to nitpick someone else's rant because it's not worth it.

                      Science is the study of the natural world, reasoned inquiry. It is through science that our understanding changes, not the other way around. At any rate, while it's true that our understanding of a particular thing might evolve over time it is still describing the same thing.

                      There have been many ways of describing gravity, and there will probably be many more, they are all a reflection of our increasingly refined understanding of a particular phenomena informed by observation and experimentation.
                      Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

                            This week has sucked. I had to verify our entire liquor department at work on Monday (we do this every month). So on Tuesday and Wednesday I had very stiff and sore legs and butt from all the bending, sitting on hard tile, and standing back up. On Tuesday my shoulder started killing me when I was in bed and all through Wednesday. The pain was bad enough it was traveling down to my fingers. I kept the pain in check on Thursday by wearing a sling. Today, I wake up with the left half of my upper lip all swollen. I don't know what happened. I look like I had a botched lip enhancement surgery. I need groceries, but I don't want to go out looking like this.

                            I'd say I want a do-over for this week, but I don't want to deal with liquor again. So bring on next week instead and let's hope it's better.

                              If you see something listed for free in the classifieds and you're lucky enough to get it reserved for you, for the love of the gods, pick it up on time. If you say you'll be there around 6, that doesn't mean 6:30. Some of us have lives and we shouldn't have to sit around and wait for you to show up while you take your time picking up something you're being given for FREE.

                                Here, we just put it down by the street with a sign that says "do not steal."

                                It's gone in less than 20 minutes.



                                I had a tooth pulled about a month ago, and chunks of my jawbone are still working their way out of my gums. I feel like I'm teething.
