SemiRant - Annoying Emails

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Have you noticed that with some old people that they seem to think just because they are old

Yes.

However, I've met far more young people who think 'old' (over about 50) also means stupid, ignorant,deaf and useless..

From my experience,the only noticeable difference between an obnoxious young fuck and an obnoxious old cunt is the passage of time.

In my case it's also a matter of ceasing even trying to be polite to people who annoy me,which is almost everyone.

There's the rub. You don't get old... everything else does

I hate the chainmails stating "This virus outbreak has been confirmed by <insert software company here> as real and there is no known antivirus for it".

All it takes is 1 or 2 google searches to fact check these things, meanwhile I see 500+ peoples names and email addresses on top of that message, including mine, which I never asked for or gave permission to.

Sorry, I took forever to come back. It seems my dad likes turning our internet off again. But I think that was due to my temporary failing grades, because we only have about 3 assignments in for each class so each one really takes a toll on my grade. He may also have turned it off due to my statuses on Yahoo! Mail...

Such as: "I don't need fairytales..." and "Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. Theres more I could be doing on a Sunday morning - Bill Gates"

If they have the right to send stupid chain mail crap about thier religion, then I have the right to do the opposite yes?

Here is one I have recieve today that really grinded my gears.

I was asked to
send this on if I
agree or delete if I
don't. It is said that 86% of
Americans believe in God.. Therefore I
have a very
hard time understanding
why there is such a problem
in having
'In God We Trust' on our money and having
'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why
don't we just
tell the 14% to BE
QUIET!!!
If

you agree, pass this on, if not

delete.

Why do theists like this need to push there religion into everything but get angry when people try to take it out. Being secular can not offend anyone... people may be offended by "No god we trust" but that's secular...

UTTER CRAP.

[Tiberius]

Why don't we tell the 14% to BE QUIET? Well, there's a little thing called "equality" that the USA is built around. The Declaration of Independence opens with the words "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

Thus a government should speak for the people, not tell the people what to think, or take a position that doesn't represent the entire population.

12% of the population are black. Should the majority (white) be in support of a motto that says "America - The whiter the better!"? I think you'd find hardly any people in America who would be behind such a motto. If you can make that decision over something like race, you can rationalise it over religion as well.

A quick correction though, littlegrimlin.

people may be offended by "No god we trust" but that's secular...

Actually, that isn't secular. Secularism =/= Atheism. Secularism is as against instituting atheism as a national religion as much as it is against instituting Christianity. A secular motto would have no mention of God in it.

i just realized. how come a granny is making chainmail? i didnt think old people even knew it existed

[littlegrimlin1]

oh lol, I think I meant to say not secular... but that's me in my semi rant lol

Yes, I know that is not secular. Thanx!

Lol yeah, she is one of the biggest chain letter distributers that I know... She sends maybe about 10+ per/day and I get about 2-5 a day... I finally got my filters up, so my of the religious crap floods right into a distant river.

[Ashes1995]

i would go mad within 3 days, i hate chainmail >

Are you kidding? Old people are the absolute worst for that shit. Most of them use a computer for the sole purpose to sending and receiving that crap. I'm not even kidding.

my status on Yahoo! the other day, and it read "Religious follwers are persitant, annoying, and illogical... ;\'

My status was then "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof" and it is currently "I don't need fairytales."

Preaching through Facebook status updates is a massive pet peeve of mine. Even when I agree with whatever it is, it comes off as insanely smug and self-important.

Do you see the parallel between broadcasting "Religious follwers are persitant, annoying, and illogical..." and your grandmother sending unsolicited chainletters?
