I'm giving myself until 4pm to start up again. BREAK TIME. Random thoughts:

I hate McCain so much. I hate Sarah Palin so much. But honestly, I hate the voters more than them. The people who watch the debates, or DON'T watch the debates or inform themselves in any other way, and still think that the McCain/Palin ticket is a good choice to make. The people who are superficially, emotionally, religiously, or racially motivated as opposed to the people who are motivated by rationallity and worry for the state of our country and the world. I've begun thinking "We need a new plague" on a regular basis. I feel terrible about it sometimes, but I've even come up with a genocide list:

GENOCIDE LIST:

1. Anyone who has ever put a giant plastic snow-globe in their front yard. Maybe I'd be a little lenient on the people who put giant snow-globes or blow-up dolls in their yard for Christmas if they keep it down to one of the pieces of crap, but anyone who has a giant Halloween or Easter snow globe should just die. That makes no sense. It's a SNOW GLOBE. There should not be a witch in it with orange confetti. It makes you look like white trash, not cute or supportive of the holidays. 

2. Anyone who has ever thought that Hillary Duff, Miley Cyrus, or one of the other Disney kids were "cool". Also, High School Musical is included. The Disney channel is a blight upon American culture. I remember when they used to be awesome and artistic, though sexist. Now they just suck and are a cancer that needs to be eradicated.

3. Anyone who says the word "fag" to describe someone stupid.

4. Anyone who gets into college solely based on their parents' connection to the school (like there's a library named after them).

5. Anyone who is a one issue voter.

6. Anyone who has ever worn Ugg boots or one of those shapeless tank tops that make you look like you're wearing a burlap sack. Anyone who loves all the clothes at American Apparel.

7. Any straight man who has ever gone to a bar, gotten drunk, and started a pointless fight with someone they didn't even know.

8. Stupidly religious people. It's one thing if you read the Bible or Koran or Torah, if you KNOW your religion and still support it (though I personally hold the view that anyone who truly knows their religion would choose not to support it because of all the inconsistencies they're sure to find). Still, if it gives you some hope to believe in something beyond you, that's fine as long as you have reasons to believe it and you leave other people alone about it. However, if I can quote more Bible stories/passages than you can, I don't think you have a leg to stand on.

EDIT: 9. People who insult you on livejournal anonymously because they are self-important assholes with an axe to grind. Usually for no real reason but the fact that they want to feel 'special' or like some sort of warrior for 'truth'. See post- "You shouldn't hit me, Michael!"

EDIT:10. People who write slurs/arguments on bathroom walls or other public/inappropriate places. See post- "Are you fucking KIDDING me?!?"

EDIT:11. People who like Twilight and are not 13 year old girls who have been brainwashed by our ridiculously heteronormative culture. See post- "This is Everything That's Wrong with American Cinema and Literature"

EDIT:12. People who are either consistently or to a great magnitude inconsiderate to service industry workers. See post- "No, we do NOT have ice cream after 11 pm, Jackoff."

EDIT:13. Guys who use unimaginative and insulting one-line pick-ups. See post- "Yeah, I'm thinking you probably SHOULDN'T be trying to breed..."

There are more, but it's 4pm and I have to go do work. Feel free to add anyone to the genocide list. Or yell at me for even writing it, though I will most likely ignore you.

Also, I find it funny that the computer lab where people circle around like sharks looking for the ONE free computer in the whole place is called the fishbowl. What an apt description.
