WTF: Help me understand this recent cultural phenomena

[olllllo]

I dont know if this was commented on yet b/c i just typed and clicked reply but here is goes:

WTF is up with the REAL men/women love jesus bumper stickers. Do you really need to make that statement? Im catholic and my g/f is jewish. Even though im christian i take offense to that. Are you saying that you are better than other people who dont? What happened to believing in what you want to believe in. Things like that sometimes make me ashamed of the human race. While on this topic, WTF is up with people telling you that you need to be saved? saved? Saved from what?

Its not like other bumper stickers or shirts that say real men play football, golf, etc. it was put on there for a point. To make others offended.

Im not going into a debate on it, i just wanted to make my statement.

Brew on!

Here where I live (Colorado) people have bumper stickers that say "NATIVE" meaning that they are from Colorado. I'm all like, Wow you're from here, you're sooooo cool are you actually from here...
who cares... they should be embarrased, colorado has some stupid rules and on top of that there are a lot of Native Americans here (not with these stupid stickers though) since this was Indian land until the late 1870's when they found gold on the Indians land... idiots!

The Clovis lived there before Indians drove them out. They were native.

I've seen many complaints about bad drivers, had to toss in my .02
In my younger and dumber days I was passed by a soccer mom, talking on her cell phone, while turned around hitting her "honor student" in the back seat of the suburban assault vehicle she was driving at over 100mph. I know she was going over 100 since I was going that fast.

I was young and immortal, what was her excuse?

WTF is up with people who do something really ******* then some other ******* screams we need a new law against it, WHEN IT WAS ILLEGAL IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! And next thing you know, we have more laws against it.

Sigh

Besides, what ever happened to survival of the fittest or smartest? Pretty soon that movie "Idiocracy" will be more truth than fiction.

I blame it all on ipods.

(Well not really. That just sounded as intelligent as the average statement on FOX news. And I wanted to fit in.)

What I like even better is when they give you the finger or yell at you as they pass because you are going slower then they wanted to. :rockin:

 

[sTango]

WTF is up with humanity? I need to move to a place where there are no people, or at least there are not most people.....a few thousand spread out nice and far would be fine.

I'm tired of people and their religion or lack of religion. Their cultures, social norms, wars, poverty, diseases, famines, elections, arguments, brat children, stupid cars, taxes, money, electronics, jobs, beliefs and organic everything really piss me off.

I just want a spread of land where I can grow my own food, and enough brewing supplies for the rest of my life.

WTF is up with celebrities giving their opinions on everything related to science, medicine, politics, etc? ******* f***ing journalists asking for their opinions? Who f***ing cares what Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Whoopie Goldberg, or any other dipsh*t that pretends for a living, thinks of anything!

I used to like Chuck Norris, but I don't give a rat's ass who he is voting for or why!

WTF is up with little kid backpacks coming with a pull-out handle so they can drag it behind them on wheels. Seriously, does a box of crayons and a lunchbox really weigh that much?!

And we wonder why obesity is getting worse..........

Speaking of back packs, WTF is up with bulletproof backpacks http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/bulletproof-backpack-5108-black.html

WTF is up with existence? I mean, why is there something instead of nothing?

There are 30 billion trillion stars in the visible universe. WTF is up with them? Do they have planets with people on them?

Since we can only see 4% of the mass in the universe, that leaves a lot of stuff we can't see. WTF is up with that? Is that where God is?

WTF, no wonder you feel sick when the whole stomach is full of puke!

Dude, read "Being and Nothingness" or "Being and Time". It will make your head spin, but it will attempt to answer your questions.

I saw something on TV the other day talking about 'white hole' basically the reverse of a 'black hole'. They stated matter was just appearing out of it. That hurts just thinking about it.

Actually, that's one of the things that are usually fee of charge. I'm working on it... .

Just to amuse you, when I was a student my pal had a little "accident" on a brewpub. Sure enough the bartender got really pissed and demanded my friend should pay a fee for puking all over the bar(!). My friend *insisted* on a reciept and a hand written reciept for "one big pile of puke" is now framed and hanging on the wall of his "poorhouse" fraternety (it cost him $70).

The other day while snowboarding my wife was hit by a soccer mom skier who was on the cellphone while skiing and last year I got plowed by a girl skiing while programming her ipod!

That's hilarious! I was a student in Vienna for a while and one of my (Austrian) buddies puked on the tram after a night out. The tram driver demanded 100 Schillings as a cleaning "fee". We just laughed and ran away.

Lewis Black (one of the greatest topical comics ever IMO) talks about how 3 days after 911 the NYtimes (or one of those big papers) phpned him to ask his oppionion on the attack. He's like "WTF? I'm chucky the clown here. Why don't you ask people who KNOW SH*T???"

WTF is up with not letting kids play dodge ball in school.....That is how you breed serial killers.

I'm suprised that bringing a dodge ball ball to school isn't grounds for expulsion in todays fracked up enviroment.

I'd like to see, "Beat the Crap Out of the Bullies Day" instituted once or twice a year in all schools. Probably be a hell of a lot less school shootings that way.

WTF is with the UGG Boots, I see the dam things everywhere, and they are F***K**G UGGly! I live in a college town and you would think that they give those damn things away for free. For some reason just seeing those boots makes me want to hack off the persons legs with a machete.

They used to come in just the standard UGG style. But now they come in all sorts of uggly, furry, leather laced styles. I think what is the most iritating is seeing people wearing these with shorts! (and you may think that these are strickly for women, no my friend I see many a man, & I use that term loosly, wearing them too) I will, though it goes against everything that I stand for, post a picture of said boots.

Sorry if anyone out there owns and proudly wears these things I meant no personal attack on you or your charactor, I mean you must be, at least a little cool you are on a homebrew forum, Right?
Here is the classic UGG Boot, the devil that started it all.

Here is what must be one of the UGGliest styles.

Thank you for starting this thread and giving me a place to rant about this, it has been building up for a while and i needed to get that out.

edit: for some reason it posted links instead of pictures, I screwed up somewhere,(god i am always screwing up some mundane detail! I wouldn't call this mundane michael!) I got to get to work I will try to sort this out later.

My young son noticed a pair of those GD boots on a woman and says "Look how furry her legs are, Dad." She heard us as well as everyone in the room. It was awsome!!
