Most Forums are... Hense being called discussing forums?

I like rants.

[SpazCat]

I think it would depend on the type of rant.

If it's a personal rant, maybe general discussion. ( like my co-workers rant...)
If it's a video game rant, try games.
Hey even rants about music has a forum!

[Monkeydog]

Nobody would ever use it.

[SpazCat]

At first I was so confused. I didn't remember typing out that post. I still don't, but agree with you, nobody would use it.

I want to read a SpazCat rant. I don't mind what it's about.

I have many rants! You just give me a topic! I shall do it!

 

Or I could rant about work. I'm great at that. Ask VP.

Rant about Michigan, please!

[SpazCat]

Where to start? I feel anything I say here will be bias, I have no illusions to that. I love this mitten shaped land mass. This is my home. The majority of my life has been here.
That being said I have a few complaints. The first, and most obvious, is the weather. I swear mother nature is simply off her rocker. She's either severely confused or drunk. Welcome to Michigan where the seasons don't matter and the weather is made up! Seriously winter can go on for an extra month and everyone here just cried about it. There are times where I actually wonder if the world is going to end just based on the fact that it's April and it's snowing. It's creepy!
Now I understand predicting weather is far from an absolute science, but could you at least figure it out a bit more accurately? I don't claim to be a meteorologist, but when I get an emergency text at 1:30am saying there's a flash flood warning, WHEN IT HAS BEEN DOWN POURING FOR 6 HOURS, there's a break down between what we're seeing and the action of communicating it.
After you have survived the crazy ass weather you get to deal with the crazies who inhabit this land mass. I will not claim to know what other people are like throughout this entire state, but I will say the amount of crazy Christians far outweighs an other group here. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but since I am in no way a part of that group it's difficult to tolerate at times.
A prime example: My mother used to belong to a group of people that were very much into the holy spirit, talking in tongues, and 'expelling evil spirits from within'. They were a bit weird, to say the least. one day they were all sitting together and the leader of this group, Kathy, began talking about her flight to wherever place she was going. After a few moments of discussion another member asked Kathy is she was scared of flying. Kathy scoffed and in all seriousness said, "The plane won't go down while I'm on it. God will protect me."
I completely understand that she didn't mean any harm by it, and I am also aware that not all Christians are like this. It's crazies like that that I have been more subject to than other people.
It does keep the days interesting. My favorites are the people who try to talk to me about God, Heaven, and all the feel good things of the world while I'm at work. Every time I politely tell them, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm currently not interested." They look at me as if I just killed a puppy. Dude, I'm at work! I'm not here to listen to your shit! If I was I would be getting paid a lot more than I am now! Kindly take your mini bible and go somewhere else.
Next are the fake 'homeless' people I keep seeing. I realize they are everywhere, but holy wow do they just liter all the corners with their awesome signs of sadness and woe. Give me a break. If you had time to find a piece of cardboard, get a sharpie, and write out a heart-felt message about your jobless life and 3 kids, you had time to get to the damn library and fill out a job application online. Hell I was 18, in this same area, and I walked from store to store asking for job applications. I had NO previous work references, NO useful skills, and NO one had any reason to hire me other than I would speak in full sentances and smile.
Also, I always wonder where their kids are. There's this couple that stands out by an intersection close to my work and they say they have 2 kids. I never see these kids. Sometimes I want to pull over and ask, where are your kids? I know they are out there for at least 9 hours. How much time do they spend with said kids?
I let this go most days. It's not like I spit at them, or give them glaring looks. I just find it rather annoying that I keep seeing them (Mostly on my way to work). The best part about all this: I only see these people in the summer. No joke, it's like suddenly, by some miracle they got enough money in the summer to get a home and suddenly it all dries up come summer.
I will say, as a whole, Michigan is a pleasant place to be. There are numerous beaches, plenty of parks (filled with trees and actual nature), and there are quite a few activities throughout the year each county seems to have to go to.I may bitch about it and hate mother nature a bit too much. However, if I truly had an issue with this state, I would move. Truth be told I like it here. It's comfortable. That doesn't mean my future self won't move, but hey for now it's nice

Sorry for the wall of text. My  Asus isn't friendly with the space bar and enter key.

[Kyle]

Can you rant about Minecraft?

[SpazCat]

I could, but it'd be pretty much anything you would rant about.

 

Also, I'm feeling lazy at the moment.

[legacyme3]

How the hell would you rant about it anyway?

 

"So this game, there are blocks. I hate blocks. Blocks give me diarrhea."

 

Like that?

[SpazCat]

HAHA! Yes, that was my rant. I just didn't want to share it.

 

THANKS NOW EVERYONE KNOWS!
