Definitely. I also can't stand prejudice and erroneous judgements. Agreed. I expect people to fully examine both sides before they take one... 'just because they're black/female/old/young/Asian/sexually active/whatever else' is not a valid reason to be prejudiced against them.

Rant rant rant...
I hate the phone and internet services in Trinidad! I tried to get onto my friend and had to wait 40 MINUTES to be connected! And then the line cut out after I'd talked to her for half that time! And the only reason that I was calling anyway was... yep, you guessed it, her internet wasn't working. Corrupt governments don't seem to do much for reliable international contact... although I hear they have great beaches.

Rant rant rant... People who judge me on anything but my heart are all complete idiots. Nothing else matters. And anybody who believes the Bible word-for-word and tries to impose that view on me should go somewhere else to do their Bible-thumping. No, I do not deserve to be persecuted for being a spiritual evolutionist whose lifestyle doesn't agree with your big bad holy book! PERSECUTION IS NOT WELCOME HERE!

Several rants:
The adverts say:
"Top dollar paid for your unwanted gold and platinum"...who the hell doesn't want their gold or platinum?" They're just broke and you guys want to profit from misfortune...
The advert shows an older couple. She is on a step ladder painting. Her husband makes a move on her...the ad is selling boner pills and I find it revolting...
The home center network shows couples looking at properties. In variably the wife looks at the master closet and says to her husband "Where are you going to hang your clothes?". Or if there is a dishwasher she says: "Oh now you won't have to wash the dishes" Is it just me?...
Finally:
I really despise when people manipulate others because of jealousy and self-righteous ignorance. Sometimes we lose our innocence as we get jaded and disappointed by life. But the more we become conventional the less attractive we are...IMHO. Lofty words mean nothing if written by a petty heart.

If somebody is going to a funeral in less than a week, then in all likelihood they don't want to engage in frivolities until the funeral is over. And no matter how many times I make this point, and tell the other person that I do not wish to talk about it, I still get asked the same questions over and over again when I refuse to 'just lighten up'. Is it so hard to have respect for the dead?

Dear so-called friends,
No, you know what? I'm done with this whole situation. I'm over being the person in the middle. I'm over feeling like everybody only wanted to use me. I'm over not being able to trust anybody. I'm over pussyfooting around and trying not to upset anyone, I'm over feeling like the whole world is against me, I'm over wondering whether or not you actually care about me, I'm over feeling like you're all pushing me out because of something that I have no control over, I'm over the knowledge that you're pretending! It's not hard to read a diary that was 'carelessly left open' on a page that had all your innermost thoughts about me written on it. I'm fed up with reading through every f*cking email that I've been sent since the beginning of this month over and over again, and wondering why even people who I've never met can manipulate me. And I'm especially done with knowing that every last one of you has a hidden agenda, even when I exposed mine to the world a very long time ago. I'm fed up with listening to you ignoring your families, yelling at your children and lying to your lovers, and then coming on here and being made to feel half an inch high by the rest of you and your bloody love triangle. Don't think I don't notice that you only want to talk about each other. I just wish that you'd all get off your backsides and sort yourself out before anyone else gets hurt, because enough people have been already, and one of them's dead.
Yours in the spirit of absolutely nothing at all, Adena
P. S. God forbid that your children might ever think of you as any kind of role model after what you've done to them. I saw the handprints.

If there is one thing I will teach my son it will be "Never get involved with damaged people"!
If everyone who has been willing to hold my damaged hand adopted your philosophy, I would be the loneliest person in the world. I know many people who take your approach to damaged people, and you know what the worst thing about you is? You're always people who've never been burnt. You don't understand adversity, or scars that never heal. My whole life I've been grateful for the hands extended to me, because I know that the people extending them have been doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. I've been lucky enough to have people who've been willing to pull me off the brink of death time and time again, and all of them have scars that will never heal. All of them are damaged too. People like you want to slam the door on those of us that suffer. You want to shut us away and go on with your happy lives without having to worry about us.
Come with me. Spend a while walking through the lives of people I have known. Feel the fear that they have felt. Shed the tears that they have shed. Suffer through the pain and the indignities that they have suffered. After you've done all that, I dare you to look me in the eye and repeat that statement - repeat it knowing that if everyone else in the world feels the way that you do, these people will be crying alone for the rest of their lives.
Edit: And on a similar note - why do so many people gossip idly about the secrets of others? Nothing comes out of telling someone another's secrets in spite, whether they be alive or dead. The only thing we can do in revealing someone's secrets is to tell their story with compassion and testify to their pain and suffering.

If there is one thing I will teach my son it will be "Never get involved with damaged people"! What exactly is the form here? Is it to let the thread be a safety valve, or is it to have one's rants challenged as a means to helping someone restore some sort of balance? As to the above quote, identified by Adena, I guess I can understand it even if I don't have any sympathy with it. Intellectually, I know there's absolutely nothing more protective than a loving parent, seeking to protect their offspring from the pain and distress of a difficult relationship. However, it is my experience that "damaged" people are often the ones that are the most interesting, the most driven and ultimately, the most rewarding of all. But I don't have children, so I don't have to consider the downside..

To understand the aforementioned rant requires context. If it had been a comment made by someone whom I believed was a concerned parent, I doubt that I would have been as angry as I was after hearing it. I will not detail the conversation which preceded the comment, but let me assure you that it was not good-intentioned, and was indeed quite rude on the parts of all parties involved.

Your stories all broke my heart. Your smiles and your laughter put it back together. Then they stomped on it, and it hasn't been the same since.
