Ah, the 1990s
What can I say about the 90s? Hmm.... let's start off by saying:
-fashion was horrible, especially for girls (grunge and neon spandex anyone?)
-comic books sucked so bad the whole industry crashed
-the overall culture was permeated by this mtv crap
-the internet was slow as hell
-television for the most part sucked
-music was mediocre and was the age of one hit wonders
-apart from the emergence of indie films and the year 1999, movies basically blew
-Politics were in the complete shitter thanks to the rethuglican revolution of 94
-Bosnia, Somalia, Rwanda...things weren't pretty
-AIDS kept killing people and was still mostly ignored until magic johnson got the ball rolling
-Fucking pogs and beanie babies were consuming people's souls.
-The fucking Macarena
-Bill Clinton
-OJ Simpson
Well I guess there were some bright spots:
-This was a great time if you were a gamer. There were about eight different consoles you could buy before Sony and Nintendo dominated everything.
-I remember there being some decent cartoons that you didn't have to subscribe to fucking cable to see.
-Napster was a godsend to people like me who don't see the point of paying 20 bucks for one cd when I could download 1000 songs for free.
-No terror alerts
-No Homeland Security
-You could still bring liquids on a plane.
-"The Real World" was the only reality show on tv.
- Illegal immigrants were treated like illegal immigrants.
-No one ever heard of Radical-Islam
-Paris Hilton's hideous std ridden face wasn't on every channel, magazine and website.
-Madonna was ALMOST attractive.
-9-11 was just another day.

The perfect bank robbery
I was thinking of pulling off the perfect bank heist one day for no particular reason and I came up with the perfect solution: duct tape a bunch of babies on you! There is no way cops would shoot you or tackle you if you had screaming baby armor all over you.
If a few should get taken out, who cares because babies suck!

Fucking Fox News rant
There's a difference between persuasion and intentional deception. There's a difference between journalistic integrity and political stoogery. Fox news is really crossing the line, how can they even call themselves the news anymore? It's truly infuriating to me that they are allowed to outright lie to the public and manipulate them just to try to save face for the republicans in front of the American people.
Why can't anyone do anything to stop these scum bags? Yes I know that the "democrats" are just as bad, but I'll get to that later
This is how far fox news has gone to spin a issue. To go as far as to try to make a republican congressman who was found out to be a pedophile seem like he's now a democrat, and make it seem like the democrats somehow did something wrong:

What the fuck is that?? Do they really think the public is so stupid that they just forgot that the guy was a republican? Maybe it was just a slip up with the captioning, but somehow I doubt it.
I am not a democrat in case you're wondering... I try to look at issues unbiasedly, I'm not trying to get anyone to switch over, but seriously what the fuck is wrong with fox?! It's truly maddening that they are allowed to call such biased partizan hackery the news.
As for the democrats, I'm not a big fan of theirs either, in fact I find myself having more and more conservative views about certain issues, but that doesn't make me a republican.
What I despise about the liberals is their treatment of minorities in general, particularly the black community. For decades they've depicted themselves as the champions for black people when in fact, the complete opposite is true.
The only damn thing they care about is keeping black people to vote democratic and how do they do this? By keeping them poor and dumb and completely dependent on the dems to survive.
The first thing they do is restrict funding to inner city schools so they'll get a sub standard education and no education means shitty jobs and that usually means living in poverty, but WAIT! Here come the Democrats with welfare checks for everyone because one thing that the liberals don't want is to have their blue chip voting block do anything for themselves, because god forbid they should discover their true agenda! That's why you gotta keep 'em poor and dumb while painting the republicans as "the great oppressor."
Hell now they've found an even bigger voting block: ILLEGAL ALIENS! Yes, I called them illegal aliens because to me a true immigrant is someone who comes into a country LEGALLY.
That's why they want to give a free pass to anyone willing to jump the border AND give them the right to vote... democratic of course so once again they don the mantle of the "peoples' champion" and stick them in shitty schools and shittier neighborhoods and continue passing out the welfare checks because why the fuck should they care how they live as long as they get their vote.
Again, I have no love for republicans, but at least they are more straight forward with their agenda (well as straight forward as a political party can get anyway).
Fuck both parties... who says I have to be one or the other? If I HAD to be labeled I guess I would be a conservative liberal or maybe a liberal conservative, I don't know, it depends on the issue I guess.
Sheesh, that rant went everywhere... I'll just listen to the BBC for my news for now on... I just love them british accents!

Why smokers suck
I just cannot understand in this day and age why people continue to smoke.
It's a vile, disgusting, annoying, dirty and pretty stupid looking "habit".
With all the statistics, charts and scientific researh we are constantly bombarded with about the potentionally life threatening effects smoking has on our health, there shouldn't be any smokers left, yet there are.... millions of them in fact with thousands more joining up each day.
I could understand this dumbass mentality back in the 40s or 50s when people didn't know about the dangers of smoking, in fact they were led to believe that smoking was GOOD for you!
Even though there was no public awareness about the risks smoking posed back then, you would think that common sense would still have a say in the matter. How can anyone actually believe that inhaling a foul smelling plant that made your mouth smell and taste like ash and gave you the occassional coughing fit could actually be good for you??
Of course everyone knows about the addictive nature of cigarettes, including the smokers themselves, but good luck finding one that will actually admit that they are a drug addict. No, instead they'll come up with some other implausibly lame ass excuse on why they "choose" to smoke. I guess they believe that since they aren't injecting or snorting their drug of choice and it doesn't come in rock form, that puts them one step above the "real" drug addicts.
That reasoning is about as ridiculous as people who believe pot isn't a "bad" drug since it comes from nature...but that's a different rant for another day... I think I've already ranted about that... I don't remember.
Anyway, the only time a smoker actually admits they MIGHT have a problem is when they are on their deathbeds, riddled with cancer and hooked to a respirator, but they'll still gladly suck down a cigarette with the same voracity of any jonsing meth-head.
Also, smokers slow everything down. How many times have you had to wait on somebody because they needed to take a smoke break? So you have to wait around, twidling your thumbs while your little addict friend gets their fix, thinking they look cool and sophisticated when it's pretty much the exact opposite. There is nothing glamorous about smoking at all!
Oh, except in those movies where some action hero dude flicks his cigarette at a gasoline covered bad guy and causes a big ol' fireball that chases the hero dude down a hallway and he crashes through a window! Not that's pretty cool!
In real life however, when some dumbass flicks their cigs out on the street they just look like inconsiderate douchebag litter bugs. Oh yeah, nothing is sexier than seeing somebody litter the street with their cancer sticks.
I'm done now.

A rant about another douchetard
So I'm watching "Do the right thing" by Spike Lee and while watching this trainwreak I just asking myself, why is Spike Lee like that?
Was he strapped in a chair Robot Chicken-style and forced to listen to racial slurs for a month? I feel like he's fooled us into thinking he makes good movies just because they are racially charged. I might just be too angry to comprehend his genius because of the nonsense that went down in this movie.
One example is when that dude with the dreadlocks got pissed that the Italian owner of the Italian restaurant only had pictures of Italian hall of famers on the walls and no black stars. Nobody's that dumb. He was decked out in 80's African heritage wear and was literally forcing the owner to compromise his cultural identity. Don't tell me that this was Spike Lee's intention because I know; that's one of the reasons for this rant. It seems easy to make a hate-filled mess and then pass it off as positive since it was sprinkled here and there with notions of peace and racial harmony. It's like he takes a normal situation and adds some extra hate and gets paid.
I then recalled how I just don't like Spike Lee. Has he ever made a movie that wasn't about race? Can he? And he just seems like a condescending smartass. His latest movie"Inside Job" which I thought was going to be his first movie that doesn't get into the race issue, eventually does have an incredibly forced racial moment that to me, just slows down the movie. It's like he's "reminding" us that racism is still out there so he sticks it in random parts of the movie... such a shame.
Anyway, back to "Do the right thing" the chracter he was playing was acting like the straight man and then suddenly he breaks character when he sparks a riot which results in the restaurant(where he works) burning down and he still expects to get his week's pay.
If I were the owner I would've shot his goofy race baiting ass on the spot. Some douchebag employee burns down my business and demands to get paid??? Fuck that!
Spike Lee comes off as a very bitter, very hateful human being and he's just as racist as the people he screams racism on. I'm not judging him by his movies, but by various interviews. His arguments make no sense and whenever someone disagrees with him he just keeps spouting off the same old tired crap and ends up sounding like a moron.
It's a shame really. He has the potential to be so much more.
