The Things That Anger You Thread.

I really liked the character of Scout, but I wouldn't go for it as a name.

Why would the cable company go and cut my cable and internet off just because I hadn't paid the bill in several months? I mean, I'm ruining my credit. Isn't that punishment enough?

[PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0]

Yeah, it's not just skateboarders, celebs in general seem to want to one up each other and name their kids like dumbfucks.

 

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore poor kids are: Scout, Rumer, and Tallulah

 

All of those names are references to either literary characters, authors, or actresses:

 

- Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird

-Rumer after Rumer Godden

-Tallulah after Tallulah Bankhead

 

Actually, it's fairly clever and thought-out than most celebrities who give their kids unusual names.

 

That's not really clever or thought-out at all

My dad rents apartments to illegal Mexican immigrants and when one of them moved out he learned that dude hadn't paid his electric bill in four years and the power company had just never bothered to turned his shit off. So maybe you should become a law breaking wet back?? Happy to help.

law breaking wet back

 

Wow. That was inappropriate. Sry guys. Promise it won't happen again/

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

I was getting my oil changed today and I *think* that I heard some older guy say the word "wetback" while I was minding my own business, playing Tetris. If I had heard him say it again I would have gone OFF. The people of Indiana need to be shamed out of this shit already.

I'm lowering the bar to account for their status; After all, Bruce wanted to go find Osama himself. We can't expect him to come up with super-cerebral names. I'd say he did fairly well-it's certainly better than Moxie CrimeFighter or Pilot Inspektor.

[Nighthawk 0]

I don't mind Moxie Crimefighter so much, really... Moxie is a decent name, and like he said, nobody really uses the middle name anyway, so have fun with it.

 

I know this much already: my firstborn son will have the middle name of Explosion.

The legal mexicans use the term wetback more than white people. Most of the white folks I know and work with prefer "spic."

 

Work anectdote:

 

Before we switched over to Burmese people and dumbfuck white kids, the warehouse was staffed almost completely with illegal immigrants, in terms of hourly production workers. In the span of a few weeks, enough people called whoever they had to call to have it investigated, and we cut loose over eighty people per shift. I was fine with this because that is bullshit. No paperwork, no trabajo. What surprised me was when I asked Jose, who has been in the country for a couple decades now, "Where the fuck is everyone?" He said, "They kicked out all the wet-backs." It wasn't in a "nigga" connotation either, he really meant wet-back.

 

Indiana Legal Mexicans are racist as fuck, actually. I've heard wet-back, nigger, chink, and "wheto" used without flinching. This isn't limited to just Jose, either.

 

Not that I especially like it, or think less of someone based solely on their skin color, prejudice just kind of comes with the territory here, openly and socially. At least it's honest. Oddly enough, what I haven't seen much of, my entire life here, is anti-semitism.

 

Personally, I hate the fucking Amish.

How the fuck could anyone hate Amish people?

 

Indifferent? Sure.

I have to agree. I don't get the reason to hate here. Unless you're behind their buggy in a no passing zone or something, then I'd be peeved

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

That's pretty much it. They don't really do, well, anything.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

They don't pay taxes. They stink. They're hypocrites. They're religious fundamentalists. They're child molesters. They're rude. They're rapists. The Amish should be rounded up and exterminated.

[Nighthawk 0]

You're thinking of Quakers.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

I hate those assholes, too.

 

Mennonites. Amish. Quakers. Any plain people can get fucked.

[Nighthawk 0]

Amish I can never hate, because of the movie Kingpin.

[Copper Feel 0]

I know next to nothing of the Amish, but what little I do leads me to believe that I wouldn't think particularly highly of them either.

Now that I think of it, he might have used the word "beaner" instead. And there was a ten-year old kid sitting right across from him. Unacceptable.

 

I've heard a lot of passive, indirect antisemitism here. You know the one- where the person uses the word Jew as a verb. I've heard that a lot (one time from an African-American woman while she was bagging my groceries).

 

Oh yeah, Mennonite chicks are hot.

They refer to us as The English World. By us I mean the United States, outside of their communities.

It always catches me off guard when I'm at a store or other place of business and hear an employee say something like that. Not that I care or would complain, but it seems like an easy way to get yourself fired. At Home Depot the other week the cashier ringing me up started bashing mormons out of no where. Seemed odd.

I love that, I had that once at random when I was visiting Vegas, then I handed him my Utah ID to buy canned air and he went ghost white. I just smiled and asked him if he wanted the Missionaries to come over to his house.

 

"My wife or girlfriend is <insert whatever someone is ranting about>" is always fun to gauge reactions to as well.

[Nighthawk 0]

While you actually seem like a pretty decent Mormon on a personal level, I myself would take the revelation of "I am a Mormon." to bash them even more harshly, and to their face.

 

This happened to me at work once where I was bashing Mormons, and it turned out the Mormon girl had been standing around the corner, and heard all. When she revealed herself, I just bashed them more, to the enjoyment of all.

 

This goes for any group I'd rant against though, not just Mormons.

[Maztinho 0]

Yeah, personally I don't care if people rail on me or the Church. Sticks and stones, ya know? Just watching people freak out when they "got caught" is pure comedy.

 

I just dislike when people unprovoked attack a random group just because they think there isn't a member of said group around, you'd just talk shit no matter what, and that's cool.

 

Also I think most Mormons freak out to readily when someone is mocking/attacking the Church which only goads people into further bashing it. Once I told a fairly mild joke poking fun at the missionaries and a new coworker piped up, "I'm LDS you know." I was like, "So am I, so what?" If anything I'm more prone to mocking some of the "Extremists" in the faith and laugh at jokes about them than my coworkers that aren't LDS.

 

People who don't drink Coke and think you are going to hell if you do, I'm looking at you.

Being a large Brazilian man probably didn't hurt

[Maztinho 0]

I'm pasty white Utah born actually, I just was a shirt and tie in Brazil.

[Slayer 0]

From your pics I could have believed you were Brazilian

[Maztinho 0]

Oddly enough, Brazilians did too once I got to the point where my accent was minimal. There's a large German population in the south, so people just assumed I was Paranaense, or Gaucho when I talked to them.

 

When I got back I guess I had a pretty thick Portuguese accent so new people I met thought I was from another country. "Where are you from?"

 

"Here"

 

"No, not where you live, where are you from?"

 

"I was born 3 miles from here, I grew up here. I'm from here."

 

"You sound funny."

 

"Just got home from a mission."

 

"Oooooooooooooh!"

The Mormons are some of the nicest people around.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

Last time I talked to Mormons was rather pleasant. They're well-dressed and don't smell bad, even if I think the religion's nuts.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Wait....how the fuck do the Amish/Quakers get away on paying taxes?
