The Bitching Thread

[Abdula]

Wow shinta that is great stuff. Lawlessness is always cool. I don't have any pride. Dignity, self respect, high self esteem and self worth and I am honest to a fault but I have nothing anyone would confuse with pride.

I didn't pay attention to it then, but when I look back on this as an adult the irresponsibility of the people I was in care of greatly and deeply disturbs me. Not to mention these people are basically worshiped (as flawless) by everyone who knows them for having oodles of money and being generally prominent people.

Money can't buy dignity. I love their shock when you tell them how truly worthless they are, it warms the heart. I am a big believer in consequences. Actions must always have consequences, inaction as well. I have seen too many people's lives ruined or ended because of the pride or in some cases downright stupidity of others to just sit and do nothing about it. Though I have learned to be more moderate and infinitely more effective in my responses. For example I once took someone out into the woods, tied them to a tree and left them there as a lesson in trust and betrayal.

Pride has both its positive and negative connotations. I see that you believe you have the former, but lack the latter. Most of what you said you have can be attributed to the positive meaning of pride. That is great.

Lawlessness is not cool. It's reality. I have been working to get out of this god forsaken place for a while now.

[Abdula]

Indeed so I have been told but I disagree though. Most of the positive connotations of pride have to do with some sense of satisfaction with one's self or some nonsense about self acceptance, I don't have that.

Yeah. I know what it is like when people begin to think they can operate with impunity, and I have seen what happens when it is actually true. Most places are lawless, the law just comes in after the fact to give people the illusion that they are safe and "justice" has been carried out.

Lawlessness is indeed not cool. it might sound cool to some though.

Poland isn't that lawless... but it is pretty close - if you get caught for speeding you can usually bribe your way though, whole parliament is one big den of corruption(supposedly it takes only 4mln PLN to pass any bill). Money matters but connections matters more in here - for example it is pretty common in any gov't companies for there to be a few big departments that do nothing, expect employing families of politicians/government workers.
Lawyers are one big family in here - you can't get lawyer's license if you don't have work experience - and only friends and family members are allowed to get the work experience.
Judges are above the law, most 'private' media are owned/controlled by one group, prosecutors can abuse their power pretty easily without any consequences.
Oh and city presidents and city council is doing everything it can to pull out the money from the budget into the private hands(by doing retarded things like: rebuilding one crossing, next year doing it again(For no reason, it has been done 5 times in a row) - ofc the same company won the contract to do it; replacing every signal light with ones that require button press to switch(mostly in places where such ones are useless)).

Lawlessness is not cool... but what's even more annoying is that law exists to protect you, but you know that it won't be effective.

There is one great thing about Poland though - free education up to the masters degree(albeit the education system/programme is getting dumber and dumber each year).

You guys have almost removed my right to complain about Australia.

[Xelbair]

Well ours are 3rd world problems, you still have yours 1st world problems.

Went to a resort, ate 3 dinners, 2 breakfasts, as post breakfast and 2 lunches in one day; did not get a pound. :/

[Abdula]

I am very confused. Are you complaining about eating a bunch of food and not gaining a pound?

[UChessmaster]

Not gaining pounds

[Buffalobiian]

Not gaining pounds

You should try eating peanut butter. Eat enough and you'll gain it pretty damn quickly.

[UChessmaster]

Totally crashed my car :/

[Ryllharu]

Totally done it too (in the past). It's the fucking worst feeling in the world.

[Sapphire]

That's disturbing. Yeah there's cray cray driver's everywhere. Speaking of which, I'm (finally) taking my driver's test today.

Drive carefully and keep your head cool. Although I passed mine at the first try, I believe it's better to be careful rather than to try to give an impression you are as good as the pros.

Nope....

I talked about this before with 26 year old Kristen Bell portraying a high schooler with a smoking hot body in Veronica Mars. Now I'm watching Friday Night Lights and as gorgeous as Minka Kelly is, I think it's kinda shitty that she's a 26 year old portraying a high schooler with a smoking hot body. No high school chick I knew of had such a developed and smoking hot body, so it kind of spoils the escapism for me.

[Abdula]

I know what you mean but what are they going to do get actual high school kids to play high school kids in every show just to satisfy you. Kristen Bell in Veronica Mars wasn't an issue because she is tiny and she looks like she has to work to not look like she is still in high school.

Also you should probably think of something better than smoking hot body to describe a woman, you used it 3 times in a row, and if you didn't know anyone 16-18 when you were in high school who had what could be described as a smoking hot body then you probably went to the wrong high school.

[Animeniax]

To be fair what with the hormones and steroids they inject into everything we eat, kids are growing bigger faster, so it's somewhat plausible that high school girls have developed more than when I went to high school in the early 1990s. But knowing these girls are actually in their mid 20s kind of ruins the fantasy of hot bodied high school girls that these shows use to draw in viewers.

[Buffalobiian]

I'm just looking at google images, but Minka Kelly doesn't look too out of place in her cheerleader long-sleeve. It's more the face that looks too mature, rather than the body. I might just be used to televised Asian highschoolers though, who look younger in general.

[Abdula]

Yeah it is mostly the too mature faces that throw you.

Fantasies of hot bodied high school girls (read underage).
