Michael Atkinson, may you shrivel up and disappear somewhere where you can never emerge for all eternity.

Why are you so opposed to R18+ ratings for games?! 'To protect the children' you say - well, the R18+ rating means "only people over 18+ can view the material within this item". Isn't that protecting the children? Would you rather them all just download it illegally through the internet, import from overseas and thereby denting the Australian economy???

For the record, violent games DO NOT result in violent actions otherwise everyone would just be running up and down killing each other and the human population wouldn't be so large. No, violent games are purely just for entertainment just like violent porn, violent movies and violent content within music. No dumbass would pick up Left 4 Dead and start shooting their neighbours after a few hours of gameplay. At least no normal dumbass would. The people that do express violence after such exposure have serious issues and need to be dealt with via psychiatric help or counselling.

They have a mental illness or are on the verge of one who are not only susceptible to the violent content within games but also in movies and music. Any kind of violence will trigger something within them. It is not because of bloody Left 4 Dead.

I didn't suffer under the tyranny of my parents just to graduate to the bloody government's!! I am a grown adult who knows the consequences of violence but would just like some entertainment after a hard days work. By playing those games, I'm acting out my fantasy. Would you rather me act out my fantasy in the world of reality or go out and buy an AK47 and shoot down everyone to hell just to let loose???

Michael Atkinson, get your head outta your ass and open your mind a little, would you??? The average gamer age is 30 for christ's sake!!! Not 5!! And adult games should be made for adults not 15 year olds! (DUH!) And R18+ games would then inform parents that those games are not suitable for their 15 year old son/daughter whose mind is incredibly impressionable! I mean, you wouldn't see a parent walking into an Adults Only store and picking out a porno movie for their kid, would you? Why? Because it has an R18+ rating on it!

Atkinson, you douche. Don't you see?! What you're doing is not protecting the kids but oppressing the adults out there who fucking pay for your salary via taxes!!! We want you to help our economy, not bloody turn us into friggin China!!

You complete backwards, dumbass, Michael Ass-kiss-on.
 
It takes years for people to like me in real life. My hero doesn't stand a chance.

Replace "like" with "comprehend" and you have part of why I don't like playing self-inserts.
Even though we're both so simple... just a guy with good intentions beaten into the ground by this fucked up world. Is that so hard to understand... so hard to identify with?

I think part of what divides everyone is deciding which things qualify as the "effed up" parts.

Maybe my housemate thinks I'm being mysogynistic - that I'm creating a heroine that's weak and incapable of hiding anything - a woman who keeps coming back to the hero no matter how much he abuses, neglects and sexually dominates her.

When I first began reading your post, this is what I assumed. Now I see it's more complicated than that, but it could be a factor too.

I know there are some who can't accept any female character who doesn't meet certain minimum requirements for a "strong" portrayal. Tvtropes sort of addresses it too under "Girls Need Role-models." Basically, it can sometimes be hard to portray a realistically fallible woman without provoking anger due to expectations that female characters must/will, by default, become a role model with certain traits.

Not sure if it's the case with your roommate, though. The real-life connection is definitely the bigger issue.

Is this what the readers will think? Will they feel my self-loathing and my contempt for the world and cast my book aside as some sickening tirade?

I don't know. It amazes me to see how many ways different people can view the same work. Sometimes I'm even surprised to see different meanings in my own short stories when I come back to them after a month or so.

Besides, it's not as though there aren't people who feel similarly and want to read someone else who "gets it" the way they do.

Do I have to become a healthy member of society before I can properly write about the maladjusted?

My verdict of whether or not I'd consider you "unhealthy" relative to some of the things I know about "normal" people aside, I'd doubt it. Whether or not you need to be able to fake it in your writing the same way some others fake it in life? Maybe, maybe not. I realize this was probably rhetorical. I'm one of the least qualified people to tell you what to do. But you already knew that. :)


All the books and all the films that are churned out in this world, day after day, and this one novel is taking so long... causing so much suffering... raising so many questions. The twists and turns of 15 years condensed into printed paper that will be read in a day and forgotten.

Or maybe it will become one of those classics that was underappreciated in the writers' time?
 
Okay this is just a plain piss-off! Why? Why? Why? the fuck do people take so fucking long to turn!! Why!! its simple you need to turn down a street or driveway. Just fucking turn and get it over with!!! But no they go ALLLLLLLLL WIDEEEEEE and take up both lanes to turn.. and they are driving a sentra!!!! Fucking morons!!

k im done.
 
WHAT IS IT WITH THIS CITY!!!!!!????

I met with you, which went above what I'm obligated to do.

It was admitedly nice, and you I have changed YOU SAW TO THAT!!!!


After the way you left me, here are three no nos

1. Ask if I'm single

2. Flirt with me, and ask if I missed you like I'm meant to say yes.

3. Imply you want to get back together, NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN

I'm sorry I blew up at you on the phone afterwards, but I'm still rebuilding myself, And its best if you don't help.
 
People call me Jewboy. I find it annoying after the first round of jokes.
 
UGH!!!

She's freakin 16 you sick sonuvabitches!!

Is it because she wore that really, short skirt on her first day of work experience? Why the eff is the company going to pay her over $600 for two friggin weeks of work experience when the nice young boy we had before was only paid $50?!?!?!?!?! Just because he didn't have big boobs, wasn't blonde and didn't flirt with the rest of you!

Disgusting!

You're really putting me off the male population. My respect has lowered ten fold.

And I can't believe she lapped up the attention! Doesn't she feel disgusted with herself that men at least 10 years older than her are lusting after her? Because she's seemingly virginal?! And she has the arrogance to completely not talk to the girls in the office, even when spoken directly?!?!?!?

WTF?

Girl, you are soooo heading down the road to 'Office Slut'.
 
Huh, now I know why people go for the whole cubicle 9 to 5 thing.

brb, buying dress shirts.
 
If it would felp I would put some fear into her if you like. 16 year old psudo-sluts get on my bad side fast.......
 
We have a program organization called SCNAVTA at school of which I am co-treasurer. This means that if somehow our treasurer can't carry out her duties, it is my job.

Lucky for me our treasurer is a completely lazy dumbass.

I looked in the treasury book this afternoon and found out that she has not written anything AT ALL in it since SHE WAS APPOINTED. Which means she has been on her lazy ass this entire time and has let t-shirt money, member dues, and donations PILE UP and guess who had to sit for two hours and take care of it for her?

...*wavewave*

Now, if it were an actual GOOD reason as to why she can't carry out her job, I would be fine. I don't mind counting and logging the money in the book, I really actually kind of like it. But I see myself as a lazy person, and if I can find the time to do this stuff with the class load that I am carrying, I think that she should be able to find time to it since she only has two classes to my five.

I hate to sound like an ass, but isn't it kind of sad that a person with twice the burden is doing your job? .__.;

And I can't help but be annoyed with my classmates. Here we are, beginning a new quarter with freshman that have no idea what is going on in the program, and they absolutely WILL NOT step up to do anything.. AT ALL. We HAVE to attend community service projects to get money for our club and program, and lemme give ya a quick example of how the turnout has been lately...

Dog Wash fundraiser - Me, Chelsea, and Ro

Special Olympics - Me, Ro

New Student Orientation - Me, Ro

Relay for Life - Me, Ro

Teachers Teaching week - Me, Ro

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a pattern here? Seems like Me and my friend Ro are the only ones that ever get the drive to come in and help with anything.. Isn't that a little.. I dunno.. SAD? Come on guys, at least have a little PRIDE in what you're planning to do for a living. It really wouldn't hurt to come and sit for an hour and help out, make a kid happy or raise 25 bucks by washing one dog. Not that hard is it..?
 
Rant.. yeah like what good will it do if I just have to go back to those fuckers tomorrow. What good will it do if they never change but demand that I do. What kind of shit is that. I have to think like they do, I have to kiss their asses but what about me?

Oh thats right I dont fucking count.

Im just the cashier that doesnt know shit. Im just anther dumbass in an apron taking coupons and scanning your fucking 2% milk. Yeah I hate you too. Oh whats this your on your cell phone..

I see Im not important to give any RESPECT TOO!!! Im just another name tag that you dont even notice. Im just another girl you call MEXICAN!!!! and mock me with a fucking
GRACIAS!!!

How fucking dare you IM NOT MEXICAN. IM PUERTO RICAN!!

Oh but to you miss WHITE TRASH.. We are all inferior to you and your white beater husbands and food stamp having fuck nuts.. Sorry.. I forgot. Sorry that we are willing to work our collective asses off for 99.9% of America and do the jobs that what???

PUT FOOD ON OUR TABLES FOR OURS KIDS THAT DIDNT COME FROM FUCKING FOOD STAMPS!!!!

Yeah bitch I work.. I can speak to languges. Yeah Bitch Im UNION and make more than your whore daughter thats 14 and in her 8th month! Nice real nice...

Excuse me if I dont scan your fucking REWARDS card and If I dont give a shit about your change or reciept. How about I just wipe my ass with it and then shove it down your throat!!

Oh yeah go ahead.. meet in the parking lot so I can run you over and then back up and do it over and over agian and then sit you on fire and light my smoke from your worthless ashes you piece of shit!
 
What's with all the tits in roleplays! D: Now even the guy players are playing female characters! How am I supposed to get some booty when they're all chicks! Booty is a very important part of a Diana-Roleplay balanced meal. There is no booty to be had with all these boobies and gay fellows! Where is the balance of design! What happened to all the manly mens with facial hair and GRRKILL attitudes!

where oh where have all the men gone? ;__;
 
My mom told me today to spend as much time with my grandmother as possible, and I know what that means. The moment that I have been dreading since before I can remember is drawing closer, and I'm afraid I will never be the same after it happens.

My grandmother, who practically has been there with my mom to raise me my entire life, has two blockages in her major arteries. As far as I have been told so far, She has to go in so the doctor can do a heart cath and use dye to find the blockages, and if they can't find a way to fix it from there, they are going to have to do open-heart surgery.

On top of her heart problems, she has kidney issues. Which means that her body doesn't filter things out of the blood like normal kidneys would, like meds for example, or the DYE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO INJECT INTO HER. This could cause problems for her as well.

So.. the whole surgery thing has me nervous. She is stronger than most of the older people I know, but she is still an old lady. She's frail.. and I'm afraid she won't make it if that's the choice they have to make.. and if they don't do the surgery because of the risks.. does that mean I have to sit by and watch my mom die? She is the one that holds this entire family together. When she is gone, everything is going to fall apart.

And the other side to this is that I feel like I have to find a way to keep her around until I have finished school. She has done so much for me and has paid so much money for me to be able to do what I'm doing now.. and I just want her to see me finish, y'know? If it weren't for this lady I would still be miserable living with my aunt in a city that I hated with a degree in a program that I hated. I can't lose her now when I'm so close to showing her I can actually do something with myself.

I'm scared..
 
Aww let me try to rescue you Diana.. *brushes up on her pick up lines*
 
It pisses me off to all hell that the Nobel Peace Prize has basically become meaningless. It used to be handed out to people who actually accomplished things. People who were the key to MAJOR scientific breakthroughs! But lately it just seems the blasted thing is honoring people who accomplish nothing.

He was nominated 11 days after his inauguration. Are you kidding me!? ELEVEN DAYS AFTER! What the fuck have you accomplished in that amount of time!? NOTHING and you still haven't SINCE then! All those things you said you were going to do, you're no damn closer to getting them done.

You don't deserve the Nobel. There are much better people who do. Ghandi's been nominated five times and never won yet you have.

UGH I am so frustrated by this!
 
Because apparently his inauguration has given people hope in a way that other things haven't. Or something like that. It would be a terrible idea for him to accept it and I think he knows it. Which means he probably won't.

I'm sort of like this with my parents lately. I know they're in good health, but sometimes I'm really impatient about graduating and getting a well-paying job so they can stop worrying about me, and I can start throwing some serious gifts at them for all the crap I've put them through. ;)

My grandmother already died, but she always seemed really confident that I was going to be okay.

I don't really know anything to say other than to take your mother's advice. We really should cherish every moment we get even when people we love aren't ill, but that can be hard to maintain. I would have liked to have had more time with my grandmother, but I take solace in the good times we had.

Focus on your love for yours and act on it. That way, no matter what happens, you minimize regret.

I wish you the best.
