Things I hate

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

I know we are supposed to keep an even keel, but there are some things that really piss me off, and I am sure you too. So, feel free to vent your frustrations right here and say what pisses you off.

SPAM – goddammit i hate it. logging on now, i had to wade through 65 spam postings onto my blog. the blog is done with effort with good intentions, and some asshole scum post a generated comment with a dozens links to either poker, forex trading, teen sex, or mature nudes. All spammers deserve to die.

No free time – A career is great. Being productive, earning a living, being able to afford to buy the things you want. But when you sit in meetings for 9 hous, and then have 232 unread e-mails, and by the time you get home can’t do anything creative or fun, it sucks a bit

Traffic – No need to explain this one. Such a waste of time. And you know you should just be able to relax, listen to music, think, whatever, but all you can do is get frustrated.

Global stupidity – Things we have been warned about for decades continuing unabated. The Amazon still being chopped down. Oil still being sucked up and burned away. Water being polluted. Biodiversity diminishing. All with awful and obvious consequences for humanity.

Inequality – Americans being fatter than ever, from overindulging in junk food and sweets. Spending billions of dollars of sham diet products. Which millions of people starve in the world. If they just got off their fat asses and got some exercise and stopped eating crap, and that money wasted on rubbish products was rather used to develop countries and help people have normal lives. Makes no sense.

Sports administation – Sports, especially in SA, being ruined by administrators who are not focussed on the pursuit of excellence, but on their own political position

Violence – Bombs going off, killing innocents. Children with missing limbs. The bastard fools doing it thinking that they are pursuing a righteous cause, and acting in a virtuous manner. It is never good to dismember a child.

But at least, it is Friday :)
