f**k you cage dwelling pussy

[disgracing_the_needle]

Hey you, yeah you in your two ton cage
I would like to know why you always insist
on treating those with smaller human powered vehicles
with no respect, even derision
you honk when we hold you up for two seconds so you can
waste dinosaur bones passing me so you can
wait
and wait
and wait
at the light only half a block away
while I pass you, shit-eating grin plastered on face

perhaps you have more important things to do
than treat another human with respect
or maybe smile at someone and make the world a better place
like getting to your crappy sedentary job on time
or taking your brats to soccer practice
or inebreatedly careening somewhere on a weekend night

you're so damn perfect
and I hope someone with a larger vehicle than you
crushes you under THEIR fender
and then runs away like the F**KING COWARD you all are

next time one of you threatens me with your multiton SUV
just think
what a better place you are making the world
dipsh*ts.

You don't have to lose your temper for someone that's not worthed. The important thing is to be please with your self, with what you are and do. You don't have to notice all the bad things that surround you.

The intelligence of the operator of any vehicle is inversely proportional to its weight.

Think about it. Massive ships, planes, trains all run on autopilot.

Semis are driven by people who make career choices based on matchbooks.

Ahahahahaha. NICE. So, you advocate a zoned-out half-smile of being "please with yourself" while ignoring "all the bad things (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitty_Genovese)," eh?

What are you selling, lobotomies?

Call me crazy, Crow, but I don't see how not getting bent out of shape over SUV drivers = Genovese syndrome (acquiescence in murder).

I'm responding to Partystar's in-my-bubblish "The important thing is to be please with your self," and "You don't have to notice all the bad things that surround you." This hits a nerve, as we wake up to the reality of an endless war-for-oil that's cutting funds to teaching hospitals and medical research, and a thousand other outrages (http://thousandreasons.org/reasons.php) of the Bush administration. How did it get so bad? How did WE let this guy take over?

My "leap" is driven by noticing how hot the water in this pot has become. I have no interest in becoming serene, smiling frog soup. Partystar's "you don't have to notice" just hit me wrong. We DO have to notice bad things.

I absolutely, ABSOLUTELY agree with your statement, Crow, that "we do have to notice bad things" and it's getting worse. Yes. Emphatically.

But we have to do it TOGETHER. We as citizens can't just keep on getting mad at each other. That is NOT the way. The current lousy state of affairs depends for its existence upon us fighting among ourselves; there is good reason to think this fighting is, in large part, engineered. I would posit that the urge to downgrade, blame, antagonize, etc. your co-citizen---qua co-citizen---is poisonous, poisonous to both microcosm & macrocosm.

[EDIT:] And I'm not saying YOU are advocating in-fighting, Crow. But in the context of this thread, I've taken Partystar's advice in a more specific way than you have.

Its simple and self congradulatory to say that these semi drivers are pea brained morons who never gave a shit about career choices, unfortunately peoples lives are more complicated then that. A few differant cards in your hand and that could easily have been you, behind the wheel of an 80,000 pound beast with brakeing distance the size of a football field and a six minute window for your next destination.

I agree. I've been noticing again, here and there on the Web, how people who "ought to be" on the same side in some struggle are spending all their energy and incredible amounts of bile attacking each other. The payoff appears to be that each isolated snarker gets to feel a fleeting sense of superiority, or perhaps it's just a little adrenaline. A good hard look at these people, of course, shows that they, we, could all benefit from a little more cooperation and less meaningless hostility. But no, it goes on, and then each little ego gets up to hold forth on how "Teh Internets R Seriuz Bidnes," or another permutation of this month's borrowed buzz-phrase. I have never seen so much in-fighting between members of the same class... topping it all this week was the obviously poor, working class Republican woman from an economically depressed state, who informed me that SHE was NOT "working class" at all, but... I wonder what she thinks she is, 'pre-rich?' Penniless unregistered aristocrat with a few incidental coal miners in the family, just waiting for Bush to hand over a few million any day now? What?

The endless hostility certainly does sabotage the interests of our class.

Partystar still comes across as being here to spam Valium or Scientology, but who knows.

[freikja]

just waiting for Bush to hand over a few million any day now? What?

Yeah, but we'll be getting a little extra with this year's taxes, and l'm definitely workin class. l'm not all 'YAY, Bush!', but l'm down for an extra few hundred.
