CHOOSE RANT

Title:   Hate Me Day:    October 13th, 1999 Author:  Ruiner Fortune:   'You will be on the list of "The Excellent People" this year.' Very interesting, especially if you add the "in bed" trick at the end of the fortune...				Reviewing and perusing the site, I've made this startling realization. No matter how much 'junk' I talk, I still sound like a good guy. And yes, to a degree I have that self-perception that I am the hero of the story and that I have high morals, a generally likeable person. But this is a rant site. If you check out some of it's cousin sites, you'll find warnings that the People Responsible for the Site May Not Care What You Think. They'll say that they're vicious and use extensive amounts of profanity. And I look at MindsEye and wonder, because it seems rather politically correct, to be honest. Oh sure, I can espouse some angry comments, but they are still subjects that I think most others would find true. I haven't really delved into the choice material, the things that are gonna tick someone off. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not doing this to alienate my readers. I would do anything 'for the dozens… and dozens… of Ruiner's fans'. Yep, that's a wrestling reference. Some of you would probably lose respect for me to find that I would waste my time being entertained by the mass media events of professional wrestling. That's what I'm attempting here. Since I am the master of propaganda at Ruined Net, I feel it is my duty to reveal the truth. Let's do the X-Files, although we need to pick a different letter. I want you people to know deep down what the Ruiner is. He's far from perfect. In fact he can be very opinionated (you'd never guess that one). I'm Pro-Choice. The opposite of Pro-Life (although to some that really would mean I'm Pro-Death… Give me the right situation). I know there are certain situations that break the norm, but I feel that when it comes to having children, women should have the option to decide if they want to carry said child. Sure, people should be more responsible with birth control. But my view is that if they're not that conscientious in the first place, perhaps the child should not have to suffer in an unplanned environment. And yes, accidents do happen. I've never had to help in such a decision, and I wouldn't be comfortable to ask someone to have an abortion, but I like the thought that the choice is out there. I'm for the Death Penalty. Why not? We have prison overcrowding and we have screwed up loopholes in the system where convicted killers go scott free. I believe in the old days of justice, where it was an eye for an eye. You killed someone with malicious intent? Bang! You're dead. You killed a bunch of people in some half-crazed shooting spree? Too bad you didn't die at the scene, cos' now we're gonna make it painful. I think the lax systems we have in place are counterproductive. We're breeding tougher convicted felons who truly understand how much of a joke our prison system is. We need something that is a real deterrant to crime, not an unfortunate drawback if one gets caught. George Carlin has the right ideas on this, if you've ever had the chance to hear them. I'm an Atheist. Surprise, surprise. With my views on life and death, I don't think there would be any doubt. And I'm very secure in these beliefs. I don't 'hate God' as some have said. I just don't believe that any power exists. I respect religion for enlightening the masses and giving them something to believe in. I also like the moral codes that come from these religions to keep the populace peaceful and respectful of one another. Heck, I even went to my mother's church recently to see her baptism, and I'm happy to report that I didn't burst into flames. I did get told in a roundabout way that I'm going to Hell, however. I guess I just don't feel the need for a popular belief system in my life. I already have good morals and I try very hard to believe in myself, which isn't always easy. This is the one I'm hesitant to admit. I've been labelled an Adulterer. Yes, I've been in a relationship or two where the significant other was technically married. In one situation, the other was seperated but not quite divorced. In another, well the marriage was still ongoing, and my trysts were a secret. I don't condone my actions, and yes I have felt guilty for some of them. But sometimes you just have to go with your heart, or whatever other part of you is controlling your actions at the time. It's your conscience you have to deal with later. Maybe I should put up an 'I'm no Angel' graphic on this site. Heh heh. I harbor serious resentment towards the Stupid Masses. If you are clearly ignorant, stray away from me because I will not be kind. I don't tend to think of myself as superior by any means. But I cannot stand the narrow-minded, racially prejudiced people that I seem to be surrounded by. I would like to think that it's just the locale I'm in and that if I move it would be different. But I realize that there are stupid people everywhere. I also have very little love for the retarded or the elderly who insist on driving, but I'm working on that personal flaw. I've been told I'm Cold-Hearted. There are certain situations when I just snap and turn into a lethally rude person. I'm not quite sure how this happened. It probably had to do with my replacement of self-doubt with conceit. And usually it has to do with the Stupid Masses I mentioned above. I just find myself letting go with these scathing words that are funny but cruel. And I must admit it can be very satisfying. I'd like to get seven instances on here, but everything else I think of seems rather insignificant. All of those random bad habits. I bite my nails. I sing with the radio while I drive. I'm constantly unhappy with my weight. I'm lazy and lethargic. I lust after women I can't have. I talk about people behind their backs. I goof off at my job. I write silly rants. As a convenience to you, I've set up a link to provide any and all with an address to send me mail. If you just have a tremendous problem with something I've said, send the email onward. But be warned: If it's not written in an intelligent manner, you may find yourself the victim of a humorous rant. Mail the Ruiner. B.Mooney
