You know what really grinds my gears? A lot of things...

Well hey everyone, I decided I want to make this whole blog thing a weekly thing for me. I'll probably post one every week, but I'm not really sure exactly what day, just whenever I feel like it. Yeah I know I posted one about an hour ago, but that one was completely irrelevant to this.
I need to vent. There are a lot of things that are bugging me right now, and a few of them might stir up a debate or two. What could be a better place to vent than an internet forum where nobody gives a shit what everyone else thinks, right? It's the perfect place to get completely honest opinions, because no one here knows you, and no one here really gives a shit whether you live or die, because how would they know? These are in no particular order of what pisses me off the most, I'll just try to put the most interesting ones first since no one really reads the whole blog; they just read the first couple of paragraphs and get impatient and post their response without reading the rest.
- Videogame Piracy: Ok, this one really pisses me off- people obtaining illegal copies of games and playing them for free or for pennies. I've seen every excuse, and there is still no excuse for this. Yeah I admit to pirating music- when I was in 5th grade and Kazaa first came out(I think it came out in 2000, right?) and I didn't know any better. This whole thing was brand new at the time, and no one knew it was illegal.
"I can't afford it". You can't afford to spend $50-$60 on a game, but you can afford a $300 console, or a $1,500 PC? Or did mommy and daddy buy these for you? Get a fucking job. You can get a job at 15, or you can do what I did, mow lawns for the neighbors.
Or did you forget to preorder it, and now you have to wait for the new hit game to get another shipment? So instead of rewarding the company for making such an awesome game, you just ripped them off. You think it's nothing, but it adds up. Here's how it goes.
You pirate a game by downloading it off the internet using bittorent. It's the same thing as if you walked into GameStop, grabbed it off the shelf, and walked out. You have a hard copy of the game after you burn it on your DVD Burner. You can get the manual and cover online. You probably spent less than a dollar on the game after buying the DVD cases, and the blank DVD. The companies lose money, the store loses money, and our government loses money. This means the company has a smaller budget for its next big hit, the store has to raise the prices, and the taxpayers have to pay for the money you didn't spend. Yeah one game won't do anything, but its the thousands of you doing it that adds up.
So if you pirate games, fuck you. I honestly hope the government comes to your house and arrests you and takes you to jail. I will gladly pay for that in my taxes that I actually pay.
- Europeans hating on America: "Stupid, fat Americans". Ok Europeans. If it wasn't for America, you would be controlled by a Nazi supreme government started by Hitler. You would definitely not have this amazing technology the way it is today. The Internet probably wouldn't exist, the Soviet Union would still be intact since it wouldn't spend so much it economically collapsed. God knows how many Communist nations USSR would've conquered without a power like America to rival them. Hell, cars wouldn't even exist the way they are today. It would've taken a while for someone to start the production line that Henry Ford did.
We thank yall for your support, and we don't hate Europeans. We think you're all goofy as hell, but in a good way; like a "I wanna get drunk with them" kinda way. Yall are the reason for our existence, and we're the reason for your existence, so why do you hate us? Everyone does something stupid, but this is America. We are the ones that broadcast globally, not you. We love comedy, so when someone does something so stupid its funny, we broadcast it. Yeah we have a lot of fat fucks in our country because convenience has become essential in our daily lives. Now we're becoming more involved with health and exercise, and the environment. Its mostly the Baby Boomers that are fat as hell. Our generation(at least at my college) is pretty fit compared to the Boomers, and we're more into fitness.
By the way, don't insult American politics. You don't know what you're talking about.
- Fat girls that think they're hot because they have big boobs: We've all dealt with it. We're talking on the phone to our female friend that's pretty hot(lets call her Kristen), and she gives the phone to her friend that we've never met(let's call her Mandy). We ask Mandy what she looks like, and she says, "I'm 5'2, blonde, and I have bigger boobs than Kristen". We get excited! Petite, blonde AND busty! Then Kristen invites her to hang out with the 3 of you, and we end up vomiting in our mouth at our first glance at this fat cow.
I have more but maybe I'll post those another time. I'm feeling a lot calmer now, plus this one's pretty long and I'm getting tired of typing, and I have a class in 30 minutes so I need to shower for the day and get ready. If you read the whole thing, you're cool as shit.
PS: Sorry for typing 'yall' so much. This was me letting out some steam, and I was typing like I would speak it. So it's not exactly perfect English.
