WARNING: PEOPLE WHO ACCEPT THE CURRENT WAY OF LIFE TODAY WILL FIND THIS RANT MEAN, OFFENSIVE, MILD LANGUAGE AND POINTING FINGERS, COME ON, ITS A RANT, WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT
This is the rant of rants. Infact, so large, I put it into catagories, infact, read on, and see how much I hate this world.
Lifestyle & Goverment
Where to start? It a world where Ignorence is praised, and the weak are pitied? How can't you hate such a place. The Noble and strong only remembered for awhile, while the idiots and weak are cherised for decades. Its a sad sad place to live in. What kind of place is this, where everyone wants to be like one another, with thier pointless lives that go nowhere, where everyone hardly relizes that they'll all meet the same end...Death. Where people fight over invisible lands called Countries, and things like invisible borders somehow "stop" the average idiot from entering. How does this work you say? Gullable. Plain and simple. How else does it work? The average ass is a guallable fool, that will listen and belive anyone and anything told to them, as long as they give "evidence", and it could be anything. Even a small peice of paper, or a small metal badge saying: " POLICE" will get them to belive them 100%. And it makes them feel safe. Oh no, dont let the sheep feel insecure now. And all sheep need shepards, and whos a better shepard, but another sheep that feels a bit special, and thinks that he has A whole lot of "power", while really, all he is, is nothing but some weak old man behind a desk signing papers, and that, That is "Power", I think not. But please, go ahead and get more pathetic day after day. I could honestly care less, besides, I managed to escape the chain of ignorance and imaginary obligation, Why do I care if you can or cannot.
Education & Living
So, you go to school. Good for you, now, you get into a big fight in the street, is your Math, Science and English skills going to help? I didnt think so. School is sad. Its nothing but waste and time and effort. Endless and pointless bitching from people who really have no idea what true knowledge is. Sure you can do your multiplication tables, is that going to save you when you get caught in a desperate situation that requires stealth and stardagy? Not that your going to get into that anyway, your to busy studing, arnt you....Pathetic. But please, do stay in school, and go to your universities, and learn your pointless subjects. To me, its nothing more than an expensive daycare.
Now, how do you live? Are you no more than a lazy teen, slowly getting fatter and fatter until you explode under your own weight? Or are you a druken idiot? That does nothing but pointlessly going to parties, And "dancing" and having a so called "good time" If your that pathetic. I dont blame you. Besides, its only your natural instinct to follow the heard, isnt it..."Sheep"? And I dont have much expectations of sheep. Besides, like sheep, humans are just following a pointless leader, waiting to be slaughterd. I await that day. And when it comes, I will laugh. And I will be glad when every human dies of thier own ignorence. My only regret is that I am one of them.
The following rant was a build up of thought in my mind that was building up for the past few weeks. It was pointing at the average person of society, and people who accept it. It was meant to be insulting.

This is more like it. Since we've started ranting, why stop?
I hear what you're saying Reno, and I am not merely saying this out of some twisted notion to curry favor. This society is now based upon paper. A signature on a paper supposedly means more than any real accomplishment. We sit in class, "learning" the standardized material, taking standardized tests, so that, in the end, we all have the same biased "knowledge". This world is now wrapped in plastic, run by rules and precautions, they are plodding along through their lives, rats in the maze. Of course, the governments give you just enough freedom to think that you can be your own person, but in reality it is very rare to encounter someone who is.
Really, why is the opinion of someone who sat in a classroom memorizing dates and facts that have no meaning for a dozen years, who has a piece of paper that has someone's name on it, more important than someone who actually leanred something by himself?
Now I come to money. Money. Coins and bills--bits of paper. This is considered power, and it fits with the world---it is a nice, safe and pointless formality to go along with all the others. I suppose that money was once necessary for evolution and the like, but now, now it is one of the things I despise most in this world. We go through school (A standardized way to make us the same-- simple money machines for governments) and get "jobs" to make MORE money to the government. It is a JOKE! It is maddening and pathetic how obsessed the world is with money. When you come down to it, governments PRINT MONEY THEMSELVES, FOR THEMSELVES. Is this what this world holds for me? A life in which my only purpose is to collect coins and bills? It isn't real! Paper with a number on it means NOTHING!
And when this world DOES come crashing down, for coins, or for oil, does it really matter? When the buildings fall, the people die and the rubble surrounds my feet, what will happen then? Will religon, will belief, will hope, will all the coins and paper in the world, will all the signatures in the world make me any less dead? Humans will destroy themselves, and when I look into the blood-red skies of the world's last hours, what can I do but smirk and know that though anything worthwhile was robbed of me, I will die knowing that I was above all this.

And so will I, as The last glance, I can clearly say, my only regret was being sorted with one of them
I only wish that would happened. And keep my fingers crossed that it will happen soon. The sooner the better. In A World where virtual data is more important than anything else. What does it prove? What is happening to this human race?

Ha. The delicious irony of such a situation would be if humans discovered that their basic thinking was all wrong, finally realizing that what they were doing was all without point, only at the end understanding what fools they were. Whose signature, whose image on a coin will save them from their own stupidity?

Do not be too hasty with your rants. Not all are fools. Though i do agree the average person these days are not so great and as far as I know, most are the same (Drunken fools) . How would people like us exist if everyone was a fool? And many of the past generations were better off then we were. I know people who were far older then me and they were far from fools. I only name this teen generation (As a generalization anyway, i realize that many others are good people) as a pitiful generation. (How i would hate to be a part of that)
The lifestyle I beleive is run by the media. Many I have seen are just molded images that the media created. Once i realized this fact I made it my business to reject their influence and create myself into who I want to be, and so far my efforts have been quite successful. I have began my own programs to better myself. I have an exercise program to increase stamina and prepare for the future ahead. I have a knowledge program because i find that learning on my own is better then school. And I have several more. I am not part of the "main herd" and i am proud of it. Like you said Reno, most of the teens I know are mostly drug addicts or drunken fools. That is something I aspire to avoid.
As bad as the situation seems look at it this way: Little is going to change these problems, we are too dependant on them, but there is some good that can come out of it. I don't know about you but I have every intention to make the best of my life and do what i can to make it great. If you are like me then you have some great ambitions, and nothing would please me more then to reach them. The main crowd has no place in them and therfore do not concern me in my future plans. Might as well just concentrate on yourself and your friends.
As for school, I see it as a place where society integrates children into society. Lots you learn is only stuff that will help you get a job or a career, though I do agree that a lot of what they teach you is rather useless, but there are some valuable things from it. I see history and science as good classes. They offer general knowledge, and knowledge is something I desire. Though the presentaion of it leaves something to be desired, I am glad I know this stuff. The more you know the better.

YEAH RANTS!
I see our society degrading before me. The media presents images that people of the West follow to the closest degree possible, regardless of their negativity. Fads fade in and out, and the world moves with them. Technology gets so good that people sit inside and get fat. 1/3 of all teens are obese. School is pointless. Our language has so many pointless aspects to it, as do all. WHOE CAREES IF I SPel stuph wrong as long as pepl know what i am saying! i doubt you will ever need to know how to half the stuff you learn if you dont choose to pursue a scientific career! If people could make up their minds then they could just choose their careers, and therefore all the classes they needed to take!
Our culture is obsessed with sports! We idolize them, even when they get into brawls, take steroids, or do other indiotic things! THere is no point to celebrity worship unless the celebrity is...no one! It will work for no one!
I think that is most of it, i will cover gvt later.

Excellent TMP! Excellent! I agree, I was just going to start going more into school.
Grammar. Who cares? do people get happy they know how to use all pronouns and verbs? A Word, is a word. As long as yo understand it, thats all that they need to know. You dont need to know all that other crap they throw along with it, whats the difference? Its still going to lead back to the same place in the end anyway... Either you know the word, or not.

You made a good point TMP, much of society is obsessed with following trends and celeberty worship. I personally think that is a waste of time. Why bother concentrating on following what other people are doing when you could make your life more meaningful and do as only you please? And why worship a celeberty? Sure I like a couple of famous people, but I am not obsessed about them. I don't have that much problem with sports, i happen to like badminton, tenis, paintball and voley ball myself, but there is no way I could worship it.
It makes perfect sense to learn only what you need to in school. Take math 30 for example. You are never going to do that except in "other schools" or in a very rare job. If you are taking a job that acctually has a need for it, then you should take it, but other wise, it should be up to you to determine if you need that or not. If you really want to know about it or need it, then you should be the one learn it on your own. The english language you mentioned has a whole lot of pointless rules. With that I agree. No wonder its the most difficult language to learn: there are so many rules to them and the language might as well not have them because half of the time the rules don't apply.
I don't know how it is in most places on account of being in the middle of nowhere, but here I dislike how th common teen (Just the generalizaion mind you) how they are always concerned about going to parties, dancing getting a date Etc. Nope, not the life for me. They can do that all they want, I have better things to do.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
John Lennon seems to be saying it all here....It might as well be the anarchist's theme song. I Agree with him in some areas, but not all...

Its really a Anarchist poem. Its more like a World Peace/ Everyone the same kind a poem. An Anarchist poem, now I could write one of those and show you.

I'm curious to see what you would come up with but as I recall, don't you hate poetry? Or was it the poetry selection you've received so far that you disliked?

Im not a fan of poetry at all. Say it as it is, dont make it rhyme. But I can still write a Anarhist, a real one if you want.

Rhyming is something I find childish in such poetry, but I have seen just some general forms in several places that were pretty good and contributed to a game story line and a few books I've read. Some OK but others are not for me to say the least.
