 What's your beef? -- TheJudge || Post in the forum
It’s a legitimate question. Everyone is annoyed by something. Everyone??? Well… Almost everyone. I had to think about it for a while. What is MY beef? Hummmmm…. My beef is that I lack beef. You see, I’m just too passive. No, I’m not on Prozac. I just don’t really care about stuff in general. If some jackass wants to be an idiot and piss everyone off, that’s his choice. Some would probably think I have no beef because I simply don’t like confrontations. It’s true that I don’t like confrontations but that’s not the reason. Sure! I want to get along with everyone. My mind works like a fairy tale: I think everyone is just and fair until they prove me wrong. And that may be why I don’t really have a beef, because I let everyone get away with anything, but I don’t think so.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not the poor sap that will buy a crate of bibles to be delivered in 6 months from some stranger knocking at my door. I’m not stupid. Au contraire! I have achieved a level of wisdom that is surprisingly advanced for my young age. At least, that’s how I feel about it. But you don’t have to agree with me. You have that choice.
So what makes me so wise? Why am I so in tune with the cosmos? It’s because I don’t sweat the small stuff. And that is the problem with this crazy world. People are not at peace. They bitch about anything and everything. They argue about things that don’t really matter. In my grand wisdom, I watch them silently. Sometimes puzzled. Sometimes amused. And their behaviours make me sad. It breaks my hearth to watch my neighbours waist away their lives, forgetting about their dreams, living like robots as if their sole purpose was to serve and conform to social standards without even questioning them.
And that, my friends, is my only beef. Watching people blindly following the crowd without any knowledge of the destination. And my purpose in life is to sink that doomed ship of lost souls without drowning them all.
What's you beef?

Conform To Anti-Conform! -- Chris || Post in the forum
Before I go on: Caution! There might be mentions of rap or other popular music on this page!
Ok, good. Glad I got that out of the way. Hopefully that warning will help ward off some of those morons that break out into spasms over the thought of rap or other popular music because they believe it isn't right to like them because everyone else likes them and if they do like them, their head will explode splashing what's left of their brain all over their original Woodstock posters ruining the effect of them.
The whole "anti-conforming" thing is fine by me with the exception that it is a total oxymoron(Which means "two words that contradict), not to mention generally stupid. That's fine with me as well, I really don't care what people decide to do with their lives or lack-there-of, as long as the crap doesn't start coming my way. And indeed the crap hasn't started coming my way, so I figured I'd get a head start on them starting today.
You see, the problem starts when you have a group of people that try to "anti-conform". Since it's a group of "anti-conformers", they all must be trying to do the same thing, which is to "anti-conform". Allow me:Definition of 'Conform'
1. To correspond in form or character; be similar.
2. To act or be in accord or agreement; comply: a computer that conforms to the manufacturer's advertising claims.
3. To act in accordance with current customs or modes. With that in mind, I believe we can come to the conclusion that people who "anti-conform" are really "conforming to be anti-conformers".
Then again, I guess the dictionary doesn't apply to this large group of people who engage in really deep thinking, after all, they wouldn't want to agree with what everyone else things, they might be conforming if they did. According to the 2002 Anti-Conforming Handbook, the punishment for an anti-conformer conforming is the loss of his or her favorite shirt/article of clothing for one month.
I'm going to go hide in my basement now before I have a mob of anti-conformers banging on my door about how wrong I was to attack them in the manner that I did. (They don't like it when you use words to attack, since they can't read).
New Weekly Poll
Thanks to some guy from The Forums (AKA: TheJudge) for giving me the brilliant idea to have a weekly poll question for the viewers to be forced to answer or face the punishment of having his or her favorite shirt/article of clothing taken away for the period of one month. This week's poll question is something like, "How many computers do you own?". Uh... I think it's that anyway.
