For some reason, something that annoys the hell out of me is how people spell Robb's name Rob.

They say something like this:

 

"Oh Rob, I'm such a fan of this site. I've been watching it for years.

 

Well, if you've been watching it for years, why do you not now how to spell the name of the person who made it.

I won't start my car unless he puts his on. I'll also stop the car for anyone that takes theirs off.

 

This is serious business and there's a reason to wear seatbelts.

Ditto! My friend bearly wears his seatbelt. And everytime I remind him he gets mad and says something like "So cops don't bother to check if you're wearing one". Seatbelts are made to keep you safe. I even told him that in 11 months when I can drive with passangers, I'm not going anywhere if he doesn't put his belt on.

[terrancew_hod]

^All he needs to do is see a few accidents where there are bodies on the road and a few people walking around. The ones that are walking had their seatbelts on so when a car rolls or crashes, they're secured in place. People that didn't have it went flying through windshields and windows and landing in multiple lanes of traffic to get ran over or thrown against trees. Those are the ones laying on the ground in the covered sheet. I've read so many articles here about if people would have worn their seatbelt they would have lived. It's a shame that I read one person that died and went flying 50 feet didn't have the seatbeat and the ones that did just had scratches.

Teachers and school in general just plain suck! I have had more homework then I've ever had before, and its just the 3rd week of school for me. Its like... teachers think that their class is the ONLY class we have. Now I realize that trying to coordinate with other teachers for every student is impossible, but 6 hours of homework per night is also impossible. If your a teacher and you're reading this JUST ASSIGN LESS HOMEWORK. You always wonder why we complain so much, its because we have a TON! These past six weeks 70% of my time has been homework, 10% after school activities, 5% chores, which leaves 5% of my time for stuff that I want to do. 5% of one day is... about 2 and a half hours, and thats on the weekends. Monday - Friday we have 0% to do what we want cause school takes up most of our lives, and then we have to go home and still do stuff for school. The only break from school I've gotten in the past 3 weeks is sleeping, and a few times on the weekends, oh and driving to and from school if that counts. To all teachers: We have lives, even if you think we don't. Let us have some fun instead of doing work for your class!

i know what you mean it's the same here i get maths every day to do and physics twice a week i've just done my third essay in a couple of weeks for english and more

it's not even a small amount of each it's an exercise of maths(about 7-10 questions with 12 questions in each of them)

3 page english essays

a page of physics (20 questions with 4 parts to them)

and more it pisses me off so much

and when you don't do a question in maths or physics they don't wait for an explanation they just blab on about how it's important to do homework blah blah blah WELL MAYBE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT if they would explain properly in the first place it would be fine but NO and when you ask how to do something they stare at you and say that they just showed you on the board I KNOW BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND SO I'M ASKING YOU TO EXPLAIN IT AGAIN SORRY FOR BEING UNABLE TO AUTOMATICALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT I STUPIDLY THOUGHT YOUR JOB WAS TO TEACH ME

and when you hand it in they don't mark it for weeks SORRY I WAS BUSY if i were to say that to a teacher i'd be kicked out of that class like a bullet from a gun

so you were busy well so was i but i still managed to do your stupid essay that no other classes have had to do i'm sorry it isn't perfect first time and i'm sorry you don't have the common sense to see that amount of work your giving us is too much.

 

phew my fingers hurt

^My eyes hurt trying to read your post. Where's the proper capitalization?

MY SOCCER COACH SUCKS DONKEY BALLS! At my first practice he asked us what positions we play and I said defense and goal. Where'd he put me? Right forward. We've had three games and I've played right forward 9 times and nothing else. I can't think through all the crap going on in offense! I make split second decisions! I can't do scenario plays! I told him I want my ass in goal, and he said no, then yelled at me for not knowing the scenario plays! Then our second goalie didn't want to go in and reccommended me, and coach still said no! People tell me I suck at right forward, and I tell them that coach stuck me there!

 

On a different note, people are immature. It's seventh grade, poop is no longer a funny word! I got Spore on my PC and let my friend try. first thing he did was make an alien with a huge dick. He goes to my bus stop and actually laughed for abour thirty seconds because someone went "You're an asshole!" and thought he'd crapped out comedy gold. Guess what, I'm funny, I know how to use profanity to make a comment funnier. That reminds me, this same kid started swearing at my house and I said "no profanity, my parents are around." He replies "perafenanity? what kind of nerd speak is that?".

 

Parents aren't any better. They protected me too long. My parents never told me about 9/11 and I learned where babies come from by making dirty jokes with my friends. That is just wrong.

I can't stand my Intro to Computers teacher, let alone the class! There are at least two people that know more about computers than everyone else in the class. If they know so much, why didn't they test out of the class??? Oh and our last assignment was supposed to be due Sept. 24th, well it was due the 17th. I pointed that out to him the week prior, and he said it was a mistake. So much for following the syllabus! Well guess what happened this past Wednesday night when I went to class? If you guessed that he is going to accept the assignment the following week (the 24th), then you win the million dollar question....too bad I don't have a million dollars to give to you.

[Yankee cannonball]

^My computers teacher was so bad. we devoted one class to using weather.com won't that come in freaking handy! Then he taught us to use powerpoint, then made us do ten slide powerpoints on egypt, then the Inuits! WTF? then one day we were adding sound to our powerpoints (totally needs to take up an hour long class, right?) and he goes "turn the rotary volume knob. rotary means round.". WHAT. THE. HELL?!

 

P.S. I can't test out of the class. my school blows that hard.

[Jojo19799]

^A whole class devoted to using one website? Oh my...I don't know where to begin on that.

 

As for me testing out of the class, I think I could have done it, but at the same time I'm glad I didn't. As I was doing the homework, I realized that I didn't know MS Word as well as I thought I did. Oh well, it was a good refresher for me anyway. We're not at the Power Point section of the class, yet, but I'll let you know when we get to it, especially if we have to make ten slides on Egypt and Inuits.

 

Here's one more rant for the night before bed. Why must people drive down the street with their bass turned up that it rattles the windows at 2am? I'd really like to run outside and yell at this person but what would be the point of that? They probably wouldn't hear me.....

[socalMAN123]

^ Because blasting bass 24/7 is what cool people do.

* I have to be at work in an hour and I don't want to get out of bed!

 

* Yesterday I met some friends out and while I was texting my British friend, a "troll" came up spewing lines (if you come up to me with lines, you get thrown to the wolves. Lines tell me that you're not being yourself.):

 

troll: "We've been circling each other all night (he means he's been circling), so I figured I'd introduce myself."

 

me: "Ok." (continues texting, ignoring him)

 

Troll: (walks off)

 

Mean? Yes. But my experience dictates "Give them no hope." Being nice means they start being more aggressive in hitting on me including trying to grope me and then I really get mean. Besides if you're eyeing someone else, the quicker you get rid of someone you don't want the better, otherwise someone else will move in on the one you're really interested in. Besides, I was already texting someone I was interested in and I wasn't looking for someone else. I was busy.

 

* Did I say I don't want to get out of bed?

People need to get over themselves! Damn I hate it when Common steriotypes take over lives!

I Hate it, I hate it, I hate it!

Honestly just because I wear black clothes and like Rock music and what not it dosen't make me Goth, Emo Or anything along those lines! I'm Me! And no one can change that!

 

Well Glad I got that off my chest for now........

I actually know what you mean. I walk through school wearing shirts like Black Sabbath, Ratt, Motley Crue, Pink Floyd, Who, and what not, and people just call me a metalhead, stoner, or a guitar dweller.

[Yankee cannonball]

@ Jojo: I just realized you're 28 there might be some differences between our classes.

[Jojo19799]

^Haha true. But I wouldnt be suprised if my computers teacher wanted us to do a power point on Egypt or Inuits! Just don't let your teacher contact mine!

[krazekiddd]

Just because I want to finally say it.

 

One particular person on this forum seriously irritates me every time he posts. Well really, it's his signature. It says "I am ghey so deal with it." I know this shouldn't irritate me but the word "ghey" really just makes me want to cringe. I'll all for being proud for who you are (I know I am) but please, at least don't spell the word in slang.

 

 

Edit: I just looked up the word "ghey" and pretty much means lame, so its actually pretty fitting based on all his posting.

See, I thought this was bad:

Male probation officer arrested in miniskirt, wig

 

A male probation officer in northwest Florida wearing a blond wig, black miniskirt, fishnet stockings and no shoes has been charged with driving under the influence and drug possession.

 

Bay County Sheriff's officials say 44-year-old Ryder Laramore of Marianna was charged with DUI, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia Tuesday. He is the son of Public Defender Herman Laramore.

 

Laramore is being represented by the public defender's office. His attorney, Doug White, says it's still too early in the judicial process and it was unclear if Herman Laramore's office would defend his son.

 

Then I ran up on this:

Jerry's to use breast milk instead of cow's milk

 

WATERBURY, Vt. (AP) _ Mooove over, Holsteins. PETA wants world-famous Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream to tap nursing moms, rather than cows, for the milk used in its ice cream.

 

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is asking the ice cream maker to begin using breast milk in its products instead of cow's milk, saying it would reduce the suffering of cows and calves and give ice cream lovers a healthier product.

 

The idea got a cool reception Thursday from Ben & Jerry's officials, the company's customers and even La Leche League International, the world's oldest breast-feeding support organization, which promotes the practice — for babies, anyway.

 

PETA wrote a letter to company founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield on Tuesday, telling them cow's milk is hazardous and that milking them is cruel.

 

"If Ben and Jerry's replaced the cow's milk in its ice cream with breast milk, your customers — and cows — would reap the benefits," wrote Tracy Reiman, executive vice president of the animal rights advocacy group. She said dairy products have been linked to juvenile diabetes, allergies and obesity.

 

Ashley Byrne, a campaign coordinator for PETA, acknowledged the implausibility of substituting breast milk for cow's milk, but said it's no stranger than humans consuming the milk of another species.

 

"We're aware this idea is somewhat absurd, and that putting it into practice is a stretch. At the time same, it's pretty absurd for us to be drinking the milk of cows," she said.

 

It takes about 12 pounds — or 1½ gallons of milk — to make a gallon of ice cream. Ben & Jerry's, which gets its milk exclusively from Vermont cows, won't say how much milk it uses or how much ice cream it sells.

 

As a standardized product under federal regulations, ice cream must be made with milk from healthy cows. Ice cream made from goat's milk, for example, would have to be labeled as such.

 

Presumably, so would mother's milk ice cream.

 

To Ben & Jerry's, the idea is udderly ridiculous.

 

"We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child," spokesman Sean Greenwood said in an e-mail. He didn't respond to requests for an interview.

 

Leon Berthiaume, general manager of the St. Albans Cooperative Creamery, which provides milk products to Ben & Jerry's, called the dairy products "among the safest in the world."

 

"Milk from cows has long-term health benefits and has been proven to be safe and healthy and an important part of the American diet for generations," he said. "I'm not ready to make that change."

 

Cow's milk and mother's milk aren't interchangeable, according to La Leche spokeswoman Jane Crouse, who says breast milk is a dynamic substance that's different with each woman and each child and might have difficulty being processed into ice cream.

 

Then there's the question of who would provide the milk, and whether they'd be paid.

 

"Some women feel compelled to donate milk to a milk bank for adopted babies, or for someone who's ill or unable to breast feed. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence about sisters who nurse each others' babies. There's a population of women very willing to share their milk. Whether there's enough to do it for a commercial entity, who can say?" she said.

 

At the Ben & Jerry's factory in Waterbury, consumers gave a collective "Ewww" to the idea Thursday.

 

"It's kind of creepy," said Jeff Waugh, 42, of Dayton, Ohio.

 

"I think it's a little nutty," said the Rev. Roger Wooton, 83, of Malden, Mass., finishing up a cup of Heath Bar Crunch.

 

"How would they get all that milk?" said his wife, Jane Wooton, 77.

 

Jen Wahlbrink, 34, of Phoenix, who breast-fed her 11-month-old son, Cameron, said she wouldn't touch ice cream made from mother's milk. She remembers her nursing days — and not that fondly.

 

"The (breast) pumps just weren't that much fun. You really do feel like a cow," she said, cradling her son in her hands.

 

(sigh)

 

Then this is the image that came in my mind:

Now the suggestion of milking women solidifies my opinion that PETA is just stupid. Use your inside voices, boo! And for those who think I couldn't find my visual online I got the link for you! I just didn't post it even though it was in a Australian Newspaper and it would have been a bit much here... but you want to see how wrong this is, go to http://img.scoop.co.nz/stories/images/0310/206b5be830bd486c711c.jpeg or my website at http://www.houseofdebbie.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1041. That will get that idea out of your head quick! Those breast will be looking like elongated cow utters when that machine is done!
