BAD STUFF!BAD STUFF!
DISCLAIMER:
Yes, I WILL be venting some of my frustrations in this forum...
Prejudice -- O.K., so I'm prejudice against prejudice people, but that's all!!!
Injustice -- Boy is there a lot of this in the world today and it totally SUCKS!!!
Cases in point (names are withheld to protect the innocent - or the guilty as the case may be):
A black man gets beaten (almost to death) by white police officers - it is captured on tape -- and the officers are found innocent! WHAT?!?!
A famous black man (guess who!) [allegedly] kills his ex-wife and her friend and is found innocent!WHAT A FIASCO! WHY DIDN'T THE FREAKIN' JURY GET TO HEAR ALL THE EVIDENCE!?!?!
A woman in Florida loses her parental rights to her husband (who had previously been convicted of murder - oh, a minor offense) simply because she's an admitted lesbian! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!?
And the list goes on and on and on...
Abuse -- Sexual, Psychological, Physical, Verbal etc...
Narrow-mindedness -- Open your damn eyes, people; not to mention your hearts and minds (that would help!)
Alcoholism -- I've lost entirely too many people I love to this deadly disease: A couple of uncles, a couple of cousins, my best friend from high school died before she hit 30, and the list goes on and on and on....
(I don't mind alcohol use; it's just alcohol abuse that I despise!)
Cigarette Smoking -- I lost my maternal grandmother to Cancer - she smoked from the time she was 16 yrs old until she died at age 70. I myself smoked for 14 years...I started when I was 12 and quit when I was 26. Now I am SUPER INTOLERANT of cigarette smokers (sorry it seems like a double standard, but it makes me SICK now!)
Incurable Diseases -- Come on you stupid scientists! Find a friggin' cure for AIDS and Cancer and Alzheimer's and...
Mean People ('cause as the bumper sticker says: MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!)
Turnips -- Not sure why I don't like these since they remind me of my fraternal grandmother and Thanksgiving/Christmas with the family (yes, things I LOVE).
Coffee -- Just never acquired a taste for it, I guess (sure don't mind the caffeine when I do manage to choke some down, though).
