Being that today is the 23rd of of December, AKA Festivus- and also being curious as to what kind of response this post will bring. I would like to have an “Airing of Grievances” board- maybe we will make this a regular yearly thing.
I pretty much hate complainers and in return feel like I am constantly biting my tongue. I think it’s ok for once a year to just let it all out for the world to see and I think you should to. This is mostly for fun, but if you really want to let something go…you can.
A few rules;
1. No swearing
2. No naming of specific people by name. “John Doe” or “Jane Doe” or other vague psedoname should be plenty.
3. I think you should really be honest and just let it out there.
Ill start:
1. I freaking HATE that people steal my videos through illegal downloading and torrents. I think it is so lame that most of these people are photographers, who would freak out if someone stole their photos. If you are downloading music, movies, or games, you should make a New Years Resolution to stop doing this- its called stealing.
2. I can’t stand it when someone asks me something, I explain it to them, and then they ask me again, and/or at least they understand and then proceed to do the opposite of what I just told them. I also do not like it when complete strangers send me emails asking me what lenses they should buy. I talk about this already on all of my videos.
3. I cant stand watching BYU football anymore. When their seasons are good, they always seem to lose 1-2 games a year, only after they become ranked in the Top 10. When their season is bad, it is hard to watch at all. It’s depressing.
4. Im tired of all the freeloaders we have in the US that want the government to take care of them.
And…thats about it really. Other than that everything is cool.
Anyone Else?
Pet Peeve: Going to a photo kiosk and finding a huge line up because someone has decided go through All of their vacation pictures – culling and editing them – there at the kiosk. I do understand, some people don’t know how to use their computers, but if you are going to do something liike this, it would be best to do in during an off peak time of day.
I don’t like complaining. Never had anyone who would care to listen…. But now this is neat idea to get it off of our chests… hummm so guess I don’t like that my car has electrical problems, and after several visits to get it fixed it just seems that the answer is that it is possessed!
The one thing that bother’s me most is how the arrogant leadership in this country thinks that peace can be achieved through an act of violence which was instituted as a result of one of the biggest lies being told by lucifer’s sidekick. Profiting off the loss of another’s life is disconected behavior that must be stopped. I would love nothing more than to see that divide and conquer government fall flat on their faces and in the process for people to finally see how we are all brothers and sisters.
And Michael, all those problems that you mentioned would not exsist even parents really knew how to raise uncondtionally loving children. It is simply a byproduct of a survivor mentality, which is simply a disconnection from the pure state of loving perfection we were born as.
Up until your comment/complaint, I was with you. I believe this comment to be shortsighted, uninformed, and too generalized. I am certain that you derive some benefits from the government.
I am getting a monthly check from the government and survive from this income. I suffered life threatening medical issues as a result of my service in Op Iraqi Freedom. I don’t expect to be "taken care of" by the government but I do expect just compensation. And, the income I receive is nowhere near "just" in light of of the fact that my life will be shortened by approximately 40 years.
I feel that your comment was probably not directed toward men and women who find themselves in my circumstances. However, I am shocked that a man of your religious background would post such a generalized statement that I believe to against Christian values.
The problems of this nation are vast. However, statement such as yours only fuel those on the fringes on both sides. What we need are intelligent and thoughtful discussions.
@ Navy – Interesting…looks like we have different definitions of what a "freeloader" is. I do not consider you, any service man/woman, those who are phyisically incapable or those who are honestly trying their best to be "freeloaders". A freeloader, to me, is someone who is capable, who does not want to work, and expects others to take care of and support them for no other reason than they are lazy. Do you really believe freeloading is a true principle?
Ahh…Festivus for the rest of us! With my steel rod here we stare at the floor while listening to the grievances which are born. When its my turn I wish to air the grievance of manipulation, selfishness and sarcasm at the expense of someone else. Along with that people who intentionally misunderstand, twist and misconstrue someone else’s words in order to try to be superior to someone else. I wish express my sadness at the lack of Seinfeld shows on tv (there can never be too many). Also, I hate the New England Patriots, Baltimore Raven and Indianapolis Colts. Festivus 2010…
Freeloaders means those people who have LV handbags, driving BMW, and living in the million dollar house and still receive benefits from our government. I don’t want my tax money goes to those people, I will rather give it to those who really needs help!!!
People not respecting my space, my home, manners I try and teach my children, family throws in my face. Just because you’re un-cultured, un-mannored, does not mean you get away with treating my like crap in my own house. (unfortunately at Christmas time) I’m now coming out fighting.
I read, understood, and agree with Michael’s view on freeloaders… We have lots of these people that have never worked a day of their life in this country and expect to receive its benefits, and on top of that complain about it… With regards to people stealing your videos, I find it incredible that someone would buy your work and then post it elsewhere for distribution. I have personally gotten in arguments with a few friends about this, because I refuse to give them copies of your work, if I really want them to have a copy I will purchase one for them. Michael, I have an idea that can help you with this, e-mail me when you can…
I hate that some people think they are ‘entitled’. Work and Earn it! People who ‘get away’ with things they should be punished or held accountable for. Own your actions! Every actions has a reaction good or bad, think it through and don’t complain when you get what you get or don’t get what you think you are entitled to when you do the wrong thing!
