Oh woe is us, yet another person has wandered into life.sucks and has
informed me that I'm an incompetent at being a whining nobody...
God, I can't even succeed at being depressed. Occasionally a glimmer
of hope slips by me, and I suddenly realize I'm smiling and the whole
day of sitting around and being moody is WASTED.
Ah, the good old days when all the life.sucks folks were complaining
about women. You should have seen it: people saying how women has
screwed them over, tortured them, beaten them, torn out tehir hearts
and fed them to llamas... And then the feminists came into the
group... They came and they beat us up further for daring to say that
women were evil. "How can you say such things in a modern age?" the
women would say, as they kicked us and told us we had no right to
complain about women in general like that because SOMEWHERE out there
is a nice woman waiting for us... With my luck she's waiting with a
shotgun in her hands and she'll blow out my left kidney with a well
aimed shot.
Here's the rule to live by:
All people are stupid.
Note that this broad statement, in order to make sense, MUST include
ME, the person who wrote it. A lot of people aren't willing to admit
that they are stupid. I am stupid, but in the special way that I mean
ALL people are stupid. Sure, we all know someone with an IQ of 140 or
higher. But they can still, quite easily be an idiot. Amazing, isn't
it?
But let's expand the "all people are stupid rule to:
All women are evil.
All men are stupid.
This rule is fairly consistent. Although I'd suggest it's a ying-yang
thing. You will encounter evil men. You will encounter stupid women.
It CAN happen. But over all, the pattern is as stated.
Here's the section of the "story" where I point out some patterns in
relationships:
-stupid women dating evil men. Man treats her like dirt,
she stays out of love.
-stupid man dating evil woman. He thinks she's doing all
her evil by accident.
-evil woman dating evil man. They end up hating each other,
getting divorced, having court battles over their children, etc.
-stupid man with stupid woman. This is true love. When you
find someone with the same sort of stupidity as you, with the same
sort of ridiculous beliefs, there you have your true love.
Unfortunately, you're both too bloody stupid to recognize what you've
got in this situation, so one of you, or both of you, will completely
ignore the situation and it will pass, slipping out of your hands and
shattering on the floor below.
Ah... Life. It's an elaborate game where you spend most of your
time wondering what you should be doing.

The Universal Life Church of Sunnyvale, California, installed a computer
call "Rev. Apple" to perform marriage ceremonies. The human
co-celebrant, the Reverend Reinhard Jaenisch, said, "I'm into making
church fun."
