What's pissing everyone off lately? Get it out!
Why? Is this the festivous airing of the greivences?
FESTIVOUS FOR THE REST OF US!
Yeah - something's been pissing me off lately.
Since becoming single about three weeks ago, I've been hitting the dating sites.
Normally I do fairly well there - but lately, I've been messaging, messaging, and messaging.
The women seem to just delete my message. Only some of them actually bother to read my profile.
My first messages are just simple "Hello - how are you?" or something similar depending on what I read in thier profile.
Good lord that's annoying. I'm always complimented on how good I look and how nice I am in person but sonofabitch, it's like these women like to do everything on a dating website but talk to or meet men.
I had an easier time finding women in the boonies in Indiana than I did since moving to Dallas, Texas where there should be several times as many available women. I have to wonder if more of them would be willing to say hello if I switched "atheist" to something else or if I lied about how much money I'm making.
Then again, I am being a tad cynical.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
