    What the fuck is it with eBay and morons who can't even bother tospellcheck? (a tiny bit OT - rant)

    (Subtitled: What is about eBay that brings out the MC Ogre?)

    <steps up on soapbox>

    No wonder foreigners laugh at us so much. As a whole, we are a nation
    of infinitely stupid, white trash sub-humans. Every time I read
    something like this I want to puke. I really wish I could afford to
    live somewhere else. This is fucking Gimme
    Gimme/Money-Grabbing/Consumerism Rules/No-Education-Redneck Heaven.
    Sometimes eBay itself makes me puke, even as I'm bidding on some nice
    sunglasses or an obscure Cibo Matto boot. It is so full of fucktard
    opportunists who would put their mother up for bid if they thought they
    could get something for her.

    Never mind that the item in question this time is one our favorite
    abominable jokes, the just-like-Sonny Crocket-drove-on-Miami Vice
    "Daytona Spider Convertable". It's how little regard the seller has for
    his own ability to express himself that leaves me stunned and amazed,
    and ashamed.

    There are some other interesting things to see there, in the general
    listing, but a lot of it is absolute shit that makes me disgusted to be
    an American.

    C'mon, some of you lurkers who never say a word, or you others who
    apparently get such a laugh out of us that you repost AAF on your web
    sites - let's hear it! All you LL-Bean-wearing, in-the-woods-living,
    smug-bastard flag-wavers with more kids than you need! You "I'm going
    to put yet another ribbon on my Kia Sedona so I can Support Our Troops,
    because John next door put one on his Toyota Siena minivan", sheltered,
    civilized-but-thoroughly-uneducated amassers of goods sleepwalking
    through your lives - with more kids than you need! You
    colored-rubber-bracelet-wearing sheep! Tell me why I'm wrong! Tell me
    to get the fuck out! Tell me why you think it's so great to be an
    American when we're really one of the great destroyers on this planet,
    led by a madman who is plainly committed to continually putting our own
    citizens in danger because of his bellicosity and yet, at the same time,
    his cowardice. Let's go, you who are willing to put one cheating,
    stealing idiot in office after another, all the while saying we have the
    best political system in the world! ENGAGE!

    Or, don't engage. Give something back for awhile instead of
    concentrating on the next Viking range you're going to put in your new
    kitchen at the new house in Irvine. Get involved in some activism, like
    I do, in my case against illegal immigration. Do some volunteer work,
    and I mean several hours per week instead of per month. I'm lucky
    enough to be able to work 20 hours a week at an animal shelter, trying
    to give peace and love to cats who were thrown into the street by
    various examples of the above. Give up a couple of Macanudos or
    Starbucks and instead donate to a mission or a rescue shelter. Find a
    cause and work with it. Practice birth control or get yourself tied
    off. Get to know the kids you have a little better, so you don't have
    to do so when they're in jail. Put your fucking money where your mouth is!

    And buy a goddamned dictionary! You can get one at a thrift store for a
    buck. Loser.

    oranges, Dixie beer bottles and Skoal cans>

    Boy, that felt really good!! I mean, you can only talk about Ferraris
    for so long.

    That'll get us some new posters ...

    If it doesn't I'll be surprised...

    Oh, yeah ... that was from "Viva La Woman" (of "Know Your Chicken"
    fame), although "Stereotype A" is the disc I like best. "Lint of Love",
    "Moonchild", and "Sci-Fi Wasabi" is probably the best 3-consecutive-song
    set I've ever heard. Yuka Honda and Miko Hatori rock.

    Um.... didn't we discuss this in NYC? I believe that when I questionnned
    US foreign policy with regard to the relevance of Iraq as a post 9/11
    target, your views we're slightly more along lines of 'KILL THEM ALL!'

    I've tried to mellow a bit. The real factor is the absolute
    insignificance of the popular vote, the total lack of influence we have
    on anything. That pisses me off, though the larger and more powerful
    the country the less the general populace can do about anything.

    In many of William Gibson's sci-fi books/stories, the Japanese are the
    most powerful country in the world, controlling most industries,
    research, and financial markets. America has gone back to mostly an
    agricultural supplier to the world, the industrial nucleus mostly
    rotting wreckage intruding upon an agrarian landscape - with a LOT less
    people. I would be all for that, as long as there were still a few
    Ferraris and some open road around.

    Plus, Bush the Inept has done almost nothing to curb illegal
    immigration, because the more of them that become citizens, the more
    chance he has to capture their vote and/or their support for his
    platform. He may not be up for re-election again, but I'm betting the
    next Repub candidate will likely be his handpicked moron.

    On top of that, he's all over reducing mental health benefits, along
    with other public health benefits and even Medicare. Meanwhile, illegal
    immigrant women come here and drop babies that are American citizens as
    soon as they pop out. And they suck up benefits that they shouldn't be.
    For those things alone he can kiss my ass.

    (Sorry, Tiger, but all I ask is that they become citizens and speak our
    language. Stop shutting out America so they can have their own private
    Mexico right here in the States. They're earning here illegally and not
    even plugging most of that income back into the American economy; they
    send it back to Mexico. That sucks. Those that are against that
    approach being un-American in my eyes. Besides that, you don't have to
    believe my views and are fully allowed to retort any way you want. What
    I've tried to do since I moved here is get rid of the overt racism, the
    epithets and the hatred. That doesn't do anybody any good.)

    I never gave them a thorough checking out but I did like
    all the stuff I heard from them.


    Reading the word "Moonchild" always sticks the song of
    the same name by Iron Maiden in my head. It's one of those
    songs (the whole "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" disc really)
    that reminds me of a certain time in my life. A much more loose,
    carefree, yet very dark time in my life... I'm happier now by far,
    but it was what it was...

    Keep trying.

    That is the dumbest thing I've read online all week. Even Mark hasn't
    said anything so dumbass.

    << He may not be up for re-election again, but I'm betting the next

    Oh, please. Bush isn't *handpicking* anyone for office. I doubt he
    picks out his own underwear.

    <<illegal immigrant women come here and drop babies that are American
    citizens as soon as they pop out. And they suck up benefits that they
    shouldn't be.>>

    Do you have any clue whatsoever what the statistics are for illegal
    immigration, children born into welfare by American citizens vs
    immigrants, abuse of welfare by various groups, etc? Do you have actual
    numbers or just your angry, pathetic prejudice? BTW, ranting about
    babies *sucking up benefits* makes you sound like the worst kind of
    American.


    <<(Sorry, Tiger, but all I ask is that they become citizens and speak
    our
    language. Stop shutting out America so they can have their own private
    Mexico right here in the States.>>

    You sound like an ignorant cuss and that both angers and saddens me.
    Your empty apologies do nothing to improve things. Don't bother with
    them. I don't buy it.

    <<you don't have to believe my views and are fully allowed to retort
    any way you want.>>

    Of course I am. The thing is, I wouldn't stand there and let you spew
    this kind of nastiness to my face, so I'm not at all sure why you think
    it's OK to rant in front of me here.

    << What I've tried to do since I moved here is get rid of the overt
    racism, the epithets and the hatred. >>

    So you're hoping to achieve a more subtle form of hatred? You set such
    lofty goals for yourself. Gods, Mikey, but you do disappoint me on
    occasion.
