When are we going to stop with this sterilizing America bullshit?&amp;nbsp; Really?&amp;nbsp; You didn&#39;t like what someone said so you&#39;re going to cry to mommy police about it?&amp;nbsp; How about growing some thicker fucking skin you panty waste!&amp;nbsp; And before someone says &quot;you&#39;ve never been on the receiving side of bulling, you don&#39;t know what its like.&quot; I&#39;m going to stop you now!&amp;nbsp; I have!&amp;nbsp; I didn&#39;t like it, but I didn&#39;t run to mommy police and tell on them.&amp;nbsp; I showed the bullier I wasn&#39;t going to put up with them blaming me for their insecurities.&amp;nbsp; I grew thicker skin and stood my ground!&amp;nbsp; Fuck, the way things are going now days you&#39;re not going to be able to fucking breath without someone feeling &quot;threatened&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to my sons parent orientation briefing at the beginning of the school year.&amp;nbsp; &quot;We&#39;re cracking down on bullying&quot; the assistant principal spouted.&amp;nbsp; Then proceeded to explain that rolling your eyes is an act of bullying.&amp;nbsp; WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m offended at the fact that my ability to express myself is being taken away from me!&amp;nbsp; My freedom, my right to be an individual!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m not advocating violence.&amp;nbsp; How about treating people the way you&#39;d like to be treated.&amp;nbsp; What a fucking concept!&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t go around hitting people because I don&#39;t want to be hit.&amp;nbsp; Why?&amp;nbsp; BECAUSE IT FUCKING HURTS!&amp;nbsp; But fuck people, loosen the fuck up!&amp;nbsp; If you don&#39;t find something that someone said as a joke, funny, let them know or walk the fuck away and find another place to stand, sit, cry, or whatever the fuck you do.&amp;nbsp; You don&#39;t have to stay there and continue listening.&amp;nbsp; Its called FREEDOM!&amp;nbsp; You have the freedom to move your ass somewhere else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m not advocating rape either.&amp;nbsp; If someone doesn&#39;t want anything to do with you, LEAVE THEM ALONE asshole!&amp;nbsp; We all have boundaries, myself I don&#39;t like being touched or to be within an arms length of someone when I&#39;m talking to them.&amp;nbsp; I try to give people the same respect.&amp;nbsp; However!&amp;nbsp; Hanging around the metal scene I&#39;ve learned to accept the touching (some of it would be considered inappropriate) or the occasional drunk standing in your face while trying to tell you something &quot;important&quot;.&amp;nbsp; What I didn&#39;t do is go running to mommy police about someone grabbing my ass or some dude giving me a kiss on the cheek (yes it has happened, rather awkward but I took it at face value and moved on).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When are people going to realize that they don&#39;t live in a perfect world and the act of what &quot;they&quot; perceive as offensive in itself is offensive to others.&amp;nbsp; While sitting in our mandatory harassment awareness class yesterday the presenter politely said &quot;god bless you&quot; to someone who had sneezed.&amp;nbsp; Ummm, excuse me!&amp;nbsp; I find that offensive!&amp;nbsp; Why?&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m not religious and I find the phrase offensive to me simply because the person saying it believes everybody shares their belief.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m sorry, I DON&#39;T!&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t want to hear the term &quot;god bless you&quot; when I sneeze.&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t want to hear anything as a matter of fact.&amp;nbsp; Really?&amp;nbsp; Bless me because I sneezed?&amp;nbsp; I farted about 5 minutes ago, are you going to bless me for that too?&amp;nbsp; Why not, its a natural bodily function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ugh, people frustrate the fuck out of me.&amp;nbsp; I got it!&amp;nbsp; If I say or do something you don&#39;t like, MOVE!&amp;nbsp; Get The Fuck Away From Me!&amp;nbsp; There, problem solved.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mcgiddin.blogspot.com/feeds/5349021021868645019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mcgiddin.blogspot.com/2012/11/wah-wah-wah.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1175370483531806904/posts/default/5349021021868645019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1175370483531806904/posts/default/5349021021868645019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mcgiddin.blogspot.com/2012/11/wah-wah-wah.html' title='wah wah wah'/><author><name>Matt Giddings</name><uri>https://plus.google.com/102956271646112696527</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-lIbBzanCkq4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAHYU/u9BkQWPwnyI/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175370483531806904.post-600845362167622914</id><published>2012-11-29T12:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-11-29T16:47:39.952-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="loosen up"/><title type='text'>Sterilizing America</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Nobody speak or move!

taking pictures of local (and some national) metal bands.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve been following a rock photographer on facebook for a while and finally decided to ask him if there&#39;s any money in rock photography.&amp;nbsp; He replied almost immediately with one word, &quot;nope&quot;.&amp;nbsp; Its all good though &#39;cause I wasn&#39;t planning on quitting my day job anytime soon.&amp;nbsp; I would like to offset the cost of my equipment if at all possible though.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve recently realized that I have over 2K invested in a hobby!&amp;nbsp; It seems to me that I should be able to make a little money somewhere along the line.&amp;nbsp; But for now my payment is the satisfaction of having a fun hobby where I get the chance to meet a wide range of interesting people.&amp;nbsp; I

find it. &amp;nbsp;Why do you lie to me like that? &amp;nbsp;There are times you tell me repeatedly you can&#39;t find the place, forcing me to ask another, which happily shows me how easy it was to get there. &amp;nbsp;Yet you still refuse to bring me there. &amp;nbsp;Oh chrome what has happened to you? &amp;nbsp;Our relationship has become strained because of your behavior. &amp;nbsp;I

&amp;nbsp;I was informed that they can&#39;t do that. &amp;nbsp;Really? &amp;nbsp;A bank can&#39;t accept a debit card from a different bank? &amp;nbsp;You mean my money in plastic form from a

me that the drive through is open. &amp;nbsp;WTF The lobby isn&#39;t open? &amp;nbsp;Come on people, how in the fuck are we supposed to get business done or pay bills if you&#39;re never fucking open when people have the time to take care of these things. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;GRnoSuggestion GRcorrect&quot; grcontextid=&quot;Grrrr:0&quot;

fuel companies decide they need to buy another yacht or some shit like that. &amp;nbsp;I thought since I was there I should invest 5 bucks in my retirement fund. &amp;nbsp;So I purchased 5 &lt;span

so I bought the 5. &amp;nbsp;There goes 10 bucks down the drain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on my way to work I had some stupid bitch stop at a four way after &lt;span class=&quot;GRcorrect&quot;

started. &amp;nbsp;Remaining positive I decided not to ram her and only scare the fuck out of her. &amp;nbsp;I floored my gas &lt;span class=&quot;GRcorrect&quot; grcontextid=&quot;peddle:0&quot; grmarkguid=&quot;c3f4e04b-3fb6-49b9-bc10-39fad2ea1888&quot; gruiphraseguid=&quot;a2b62762-61e4-4253-9d88-5fa4c3470fde&quot;&gt;peddle&lt;/span&gt; and speed toward her as fast as I could, then slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting her. &amp;nbsp;The look on her face was priceless! &amp;nbsp;I hope the impatient old biddy shit her pants! &amp;nbsp;Stupid bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, remaining positive I&#39;m going to have an AWESOME day at work. &amp;nbsp;Doing the same thing over and over and over again...&lt;br /&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'
